AMC had some ridiculous stuff there (the whole Ted/Tad hunting trip in the "wilds of Canada" LOL) but I admit I loved every second. Great to read this stuff again--I forgot about some of those stories (like Timmy's drug abuse--I remember one particularly campy episode where he had an LSD trip involving a singing lampost).

[cct]

I really hated the whole Tad/Ted Orsini thing. At this point, the whole "twin" thing had become ridiculous. Adam had one; Natalie had one (when Kate Collins played both roles); now Tad had one. Somebody else too? Oh yeah, I think right around this time Dixie found Doppleganger Will? Anyway...

I liked Tommy Michaels as Timmy, but forgot this storyline. I always thought he was a good child actor, but my guess is he wasn't good-looking enough as he matured. It was a constant surprise how he was never SORASed. (The young Amanda was a good little child actress too, I thought).

My favorite storylines at this time was Erica/Kendall/Dimitri and Alec/Hayley/Arlene/Gloria. That last one was HAWT.
