Oh I can't wait for you to put those scenes on youtube! And thanks for the picture.

No, Craig Lawson was Pretending to be Tad's Best Friend. They were after Palmer's Money. Craig Rescued Dixie in the Convience Store Robbery. Craig and Dixie Started A Romance. Later, Gloria found Will I think was doing Something Shady with Palmer's Money. Will Raped Gloria. That's how Gloria was Redeemed. Jody

You're right! The only thing missing was Kit's uncanny lookalike who craves taking over her life... also played by Paige Rowland, of course.

Hey Sonyab. Erica has A Little Pattern of Sleeping with One Man when She is Engaged to Another Man. Erica was Engaged to Jack and She Slept with Mike Roy. Erica was Engaged to Chris Stamp and She Slept with Jack because Jack was Worried about Lily because She had the Chicken Pox. Hey, Maybe Erica and Ryan Belong Together. Ryan was with Annie and then he was with Kendall. Ryan was with Kendall and then he was with Greenlee. Then, Ryan was supposed to be with Greenlee, but he ends up with Kendall. Now, Ryan is with Erica. Hey, Maybe Cameron is A Transgender and he Becomes Susan. They are Both Valuable to All My Children or ABC AND Neither of Them can Act. Jody

I don't think Robin Mattson had them not have Janet Blow Up Trevor and Laurel's Wedding. I think that the Oklahoma Bombing Happened and ABC Decided not to have Janet Blow Up Trevor and Laurel's Wedding. Jody

I think It Started even before Megan McTavish. JR was Yelling at Adam because of his Girl Friend. JR ran away and Returned in 2003 when Megan McTavish was Writing. JR had wanted to Rub Babe in Adam's Face and that was why JR Married Babe. Jody

The bombing is what prompted Robin Mattson to approach the network with her concerns, which they acted upon. This is not rumor or inside; she was very open about it to the press.

[Jody]

I didn't think JR was Damaged by Tad. JR seemed Happy Playing with Jamie and Brooke would fix them Brownies and Dixie would make her Muffins. Then, JR was living with Adam and JR Started Spending his Money and Showing his Money around and Saying that He was Adam Chandler JR or his Father was Adam Chandler. Then, JR Started Drinking and Using Drugs. Jody

[Jody]

Skye Sang at The Goal Post which was Owned by Tom Cudahy. I don't think that Skye would Kidnap her own Brother. Jody

[R Sinclair]

You're wrong. JR started using drugs as an escape when Tad and Dixie started having their marital problems in 2000/2001 -- culminating in Tad bringing back Leslie Coulson who kidnapped JR and almost killed Dixie. JR didn't move into Adam's until after Dixie died. By then he was already SORAS'd to 17 years old and had substance abuse problem. R. Sinclair.

The Christine backstory originated in the late 1980s when Jackson first arrived. He was trying to sabotage Travis' senate run and the reason was that he found out from an elderly aunt that Travis was actually responsible for Christine's death when at the time the whole family had blamed Jack because Travis was the "golden boy." Jack had let go of her hand but Travis hit her with the sail post (whatever that thing is called that swings around).

Yeah, that's the problem. There are so many times when Opal or Palmer could have shown up to support Erica during Kendall's crises. Palmer's presence in a few scenes could have enriched Adam's current storyline, too. I know that actors don't want to work every day after a certain age, but it would be nice for the older characters to show up in scenes where their absence is noticed.

That may be, but I clearly recall the soap magazines reporting that the story was axed due to the Oklahoma bombing. I've never heard of RM's complaints before.

Christine was a part of the history of the Montgomery's when both brothers came to town so it was hardly out of the blue. Both boys were haunted by her death as they grew to manhood and Jack's mother died from her grief and their father blamed Jack and shut him out of the family. This was a constant pain that Jack carried with him and much of his early attempts to destroy Travis came from this. It was a great back story and I loved that Christine returned except the ruined the concept of the story by having her a rape victim and pairing her up with Edmund who had just lost his wife and who's fans were still trying to get over ELR leaving the show. I would have rathered see Jack and his sister getting to know one another again and getting story from that rather than yet another rape story.

[DeeeDee]

Pretty much.

The Martins wouldn't so bad if Ruth was around.

[Jonathan]

I said this earlier in the thread, but I wouldn't be opposed to a recast of Palmer. I want to see the Cortlandt / Chandler feud reignited, especially if they showcase the Petey / Colby romance. However, David Canary would need to stay long term.
