I wonder why McTavish even brought back Mike Roy it seemed all so random...

although I was aware she was supposedly a fan favorite back.

Fan favorite back? Huh?! I remember back then I hated her but eventually she changed and then I liked her.

I never understood Shapiro firing McTavish and slamming her work to the press and then hiring her at OLTL, and then letting her go to GH as HW. Especially after Felicia Minei Behr came on as a Vice President of ABC Daytime and called JFP and McTavish's OLTL "absolutely unwatchable."

Maybe Shapiro thought Mctavish would be better on OLTL and then eventually on GH. *shrug*

quartermainefan says I am pretty sure the issue was not that he had paintings, but that he had stolen Nazi art--art the Nazis stole themselves.

============================================================

Yeah I know! But it was still dumb to divorce over that. I remember her being upset because he lied to her about it and he didn't understand why she was upset. Just dumb. I was sad that their relationship was ending. I didn't want them to end.

I liked that story because it was a new low for Palmer and after years of Opal he was desperately in need of a new low.

=========================================================

Hahahaha yeah! Very true.

Ugh! If I had to hear Gloria chant "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a wound for a wound..." one more time every time she poisoned his pudding... Alright, we get it!! It's payback! Sheesh!

That's one thing I didn't like about Broderick: Teresa Blake was all ready to leave the show- and I was looking forward to her leaving- but then Broderick went and convinced her to stay by promising her a big story with paired with Tad.

Oh man!!!! That was when she had to pick Jack or Mike! She chose Jack but had sex with Mike to say goodbye! UGH! But then when Jack caught them she rationalized it by saying, but Jack! We were just saying goodbye! UGH! That pissed me off! And she wouldn't freaking stop saying that! I wanted to smack her! Then what 1 or 2 yrs later she would say it again! UGH! I am so glad she doesn't say it anymore!

One of my favorite lines came out of that storyline.

Jack: "The next time you wanna say goodbye, try these... (waves) Or one of these (Miss America waves)!"

That was the same scene Erica kept referring to TKFP as "that bleached blonde woman."

ROFL ROFL! Yeah he did say that hahahaha! He was funny but he was right. I forgot what Erica's answer was.

I remember her saying that but who is TKFP?

The Jack/Erica/Mike thing was a big joke. McTavish must have had it in for the character of Erica for her to have made jokes out of two of the milestone events that many fans would associate with the character (the abortion and Mike's death).

McTavish must be a joke herself within the industry at this point. I know she came off smelling like a rose after her 92-95 AMC stint. When Michael Laibson scooped her up to HW GL, he referred to her as "the amazing Megan McTavish." Yeah, she did some good work her first go-around, but as has often been stated here, she had FMB and Agnes in some capacity to rein in her excesses, PLUS she was coming off the momentum of the Agnes/Wisner/Lorraine team from 90-92 and building on the groundwork they laid. When left to her own devices, her writing is just so ridiculously over the top and dumbed down beyond belief. She has the basic AMC template down pat, but executes it without the heart, warmth or intelligence with which Agnes, Wisner and Lorraine infused it. When she returned to AMC the last time, when asked what AMC was about in one of the mags, she essentially said that it's about outlandish stories. I remember reading that and thinking...if that's what she thinks AMC is all about, then the show's in big trouble.

That's one thing I didn't like about Broderick: Teresa Blake was all ready to leave the show- and I was looking forward to her leaving- but then Broderick went and convinced her to stay by promising her a big story with paired with Tad.

I like Teresa Blake. Robbed of an Emmy nomination. Why isn't she working anymore?

Yeah, does anyone know what she did with her life after leaving AMC more than a decade ago. IMDB lists nothing following her AMC stint.

I think she married some big-time country singer after leaving the show, and retired from the business. Anyone know which singer she married? Personally, I was always meh about her. I thought she was decent opposite Canary, who elevates everyone he's working with, in the Adam/Stuart/Gloria triangle, but so-so in the stuff they gave her later.

She married one of the men from Shenendoah.

I thought she worked very well in the boarding house group, although that was mostly backburner. I didn't care for her with Tad (they just didn't have any chemistry -- at the time that seemed to be an anomaly but now I think it was just a harbinger of future Tad pairings). I did enjoy her storyline with Dimitri, and I thought she had a very good exit.
