It has something to do with the government and impersonating Princess Cassie with Jeff O'Neill. It's CRAY CRAY.

It's funny that I can't remember if I cut out of GL before Jeffrey appeared or if I just memory-holed him completely.

Because they're not really together in '07-'08. '07, she was on maternity leave for a couple of months, and Jack and Katie get together (I PUKE just typing that.) Carly comes home (long story), tries to get Jack back, and he gets sick of her games. She then gets sick and is told she's going to die. (She's been misdiagnosed.) She and Jack briefly reunite, but then she's told she's not going to die, but doesn't tell Jack. (long story) '08 has Wally Kurth in a short term role of a guy who's obsessed with Carly and nearly rapes her. She and Jack work to clear Parker, but Jack then starts screwing Janet (played by Julie Pinson), his brother Brad's babymomma (AGAIN...PUKE) Jon Lindstrom shows up at the end of '08 as Craig. (MORE PUKING.)

Anyway, even though Jack and Carly aren't togethertogether they are constantly intertwined in each other's lives. The good news, you can see Carly/Jack from beginning to end. Most ATWT episodes are up from '97 (when Maura returns) to the end. Carly and Jack start working their way back to each other in late '09 when Maura returns from another maternity leave.

Only Maura is on for a year-ish, from '95-'96. She left to give birth to her first bambino.

Yeah, I don't watch a lot of Moniz, so I don't remember if she really interacts much with Bryan Buffinton's Bill. I would guess not, as they really cut back his airtime after they recast Michelle with Budig. I think Bryan's last scenes were around Maureen's birth, and Ryan Brown shows up that fall.

Haha - not a great year for you, I see :) But yes, I'm excited that her entire run on ATWT is available out there. I have a site bookmarked with all those videos for when that day comes. Strangely the SON Vault doesn't have ATWT, being the only CBS soap not included. I've always wondered why.

You're right about Dinah/Bill in the 90s - their interaction is pretty limited. You usually only see them together when Vanessa 'dies', returns back from the dead, and is in critical condition while having Maureen. That's about it, strangely.

Interesting, so after all those years, she's still terrorizing poor Cassie LOL :)

Oh, '06 to '09 is a pretty bad stretch for Carly/Jack fans. And Michael and Maura play the subtle angsty moments like freakin' PROs.

With Dinah/Bill---you got the sense that Dinah resents Vanessa and Bill's bond, while Moniz was in the role, and resents Maureen at first too. Bill has changed by the time he really has scenes with Tognoni, and she loves him but at times really thinks he's ungrateful for all her hard work in their various schemes.

Rachel Miner is so good during this period. She’s so torn up between losing her mother and instinctively covering for Ed for something she doesn’t fully understand. It’s eating her alive but she knows it will blow things up for her dad if she ever says anything about Lilian.

Was Rachel Miner conventionally pretty? No. But, like with Jada Rowland on THE SECRET STORM, viewers had become so attached to the young actress and her amazing, note-perfect performances that replacing her (especially with Rebecca [!@#$%^&*] Budig) still seems unthinkable.
