imdb.com has a blurb in their news section and I've seen articles on the front pages of many news organization's websites today as well. Its nice to see he is getting alot of recognition. Its so sad. :( I have been watching various clips of Palmer on youtube over the last few days. He really never missed a beat, even in the past few years when he was obviously frail. I really hope they do a good send off on AMC.

Most interesting part: Mitchell's long time partner Albert Wolston has reported that Mitchell suffered for years from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and had recently gotten pneumonia. James Mitchell the All My Children star died Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

Waiting until spring could have it's benefits, they can do lot's of planning ahead and work toward's bringing back a lot of old fav's, and developing a way to do all of this. I hope they take advantage of this time and don't really wait until the showkiller hacks come in. Crossing my fingers.

ITA, she is definitely the one for the job. She knows Palmer, she'd do him justice.

I think Taylor Miller would be willing to come back for sure, she came for the Anniversary shows...I think she would come back for the funeral as Nina. Gillian Spencer was Daisy Cortlandt, right? And she wrote for AMC before I think?? Yeah, hopefully they can get her to come, to. It would be nice.

I tried to upload my fave Mitchell dance number on film, the One Alone pas de deux from Deep In My Heart with Cyd Charisse--but it won't let me include the audio. Boo

The Spring isn't that long a wait--it's usually 6-8 weeks before they have a funeral episode, isn't it?

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
