Look into the past

[DRW50]

Now you've given me another opportunity to post this clip I love so much. Vanessa gone wild

I guess in a way it's a credit to Marland that he didn't immediately write Eve out -- the actress is competent but she seems very dull to me. I think that she was gone by early 1983 wasn't she, in a one or two line goodbye to Ross? Poor JvD lost all his potential love interests bam bam bam (Carrie/Eve/Amanda) and then after some quick stuff with Trish and Alex he ended up with that icky Calla.

Mitch has a good point about the casting for some of the young roles being less exciting than what it seems on paper. I was a bit...underwhelmed...when I first saw Annie, Dee, Beau. It's a bit jarring because the "older" characters (Lyla, Kim, Lisa) are far more vibrant than the younger women, with the exception of Margo.

All My Children

Chuck was jealous of Tara's friendship with widower Jim Jefferson. Donna reprimanded Palmer for preventing Chuck from seeing her, then asked Chuck for a divorce when he refused to adopt a child. Sybil refused to accept money from Cliff for her abortion. Langley lost Phoebe's ransom money in a shady business deal. Sean rubbed it in to Erica that Tom's kicking her out, but she refused to budge without a court order. Ellen agreed with Myrtle's suggestion that Ellen marry Mark to stop gossip about Ellen and Paul. Jerry warned Carrie not to get involved with Mark. Betsy refused to dine with Frank for fear it would give Nancy ideas they're more than friends.

Betsy came to the rescue when Devon passed out from booze and left Bonnie in the kitchen with the gas on. Kurt beat Leora because of an innocent dance with Sean. Leora was hospitalized, but Joe didn't buy Kurt's story that she slipped on broken glass while drunk. Estelle learned she's pregnant, and Benny, who gave her an engagement ring, isn't the father. Sybil chickened out of getting an abortion. Ellen agreed to marry Mark. Erica promised to put Brooke through hell before Erica gives up Tom. Palmer kept his vow to cut off funds to Daisy. Brooke asked Tom to take it slow in their renewed romance. Tad saw the error of his ways after Kelly lectured about her drug-abuse experiences to his classmates.

Sybil lied to everyone except Sean about her abortion. Palmer kept Chuck and Donna apart before Palmer whisked her off to Haiti for her divorce. Carrie told Jerry that Kurt had beat her mother unconscious and probably arranged it to look as though she died in a car accident. Paul batted zeo with pleas to Mark and Ellen not to marry. Ruth objected to Tara dating Jim because Jim is Charlie’s conselor. Estelle refused to believe she’s pregnant, since she insists that Billy never touched her. Carrie was concerned about Leora, who urged Kurt to see a marriage conselor. Ruth questioned Tad to learn if there’s a drug abuse at his school. Brandon learned Tom is Erica’s ex-husband.

Mark talked Ellen out of her last-minute doubts and they were married. Estelle refused to discuss Billy with her shrink and insisted she's having an hysterical pregnancy. Ruth apologized to Joe for neglecting him in favor of mothering Joey. Sean blabbed to Monique about Sybil's abortion lie, and Monique decided to tell Cliff the truth. Brooke put Tom on hold after Erica taunted Brooke at the wedding. Chuck called it quits in attempting to stop Donna from running off with Palmer to get a Haitian divorce. Devon fretted she won't be able to cope with Wally without Ellen around to bolster her.

Linda unwittingly told Zack that Rachel had once said Mitch would be better off dead. Larry blew a fuse when he learned that Clarice allowed Robert to visit Cory. Miranda sent Brad to comfort Kit. Blaine moved in with Jordan in the same building where Amy lives in order to keep tabs on Jerry.

Larry and Clarice's marriage crumbled as Robert insisted on a role in Cory's life. Margo told Jerry that Blaine is being dragged into Jordan's life beyond her will. But Blaine insisted to Jerry that Jordan can give her everything she wants. Blaine secretly tried to protect Margo and Jerry from Jordan's threats. Russ and Tracy moved into a new house, but Jason told her she won't be Mrs. Matthews while on the singing tour. Kit's priest realized she desires her old lifestyle more than a reconciliation with Joey, who's on a cross-country camping trip. Zach asked for a warrant for Rachel’s arrest. Cecile tried to humilaite Pat during a party with the punk rock group Cherry Vanilla.

Kit returned to her old “vampish” ways after she signed annulment papers from Joey. Pat drowned in booze believing Phillip will stay in Europe with the Duchess of Essex, a situation that Cecile pumped for all it’s worth. Amy worried that Kit is trying to win Jerry’s attentions. Robert begged Clarice to run away with him and Cory. Miranda lost Mitch and Janice’s tape and had doubts about helping to send Rachel up to prison. Zach told her that without the tape there’s no proof that Mitch helped poison Mac. Tracy was a smash hit in Frisco. Zach gave Larry a warrant for Rachel’s arrest.

Rachel was arrested but released on bail. Robert vanished but his ex-wife, Olivia, consulted with Russ about joining the hospital staff. Cecile spread gossip about Phillip and the Duchess which drove Pat further into the alcoholic pits. But Phillip resisted the temptation of resuming "the old fire" with the Duchess. Blaine refused to listen to Margo's warning about Jordan and told her to butt out. Blaine couldn't get Jerry out of her system and taunted Amy, which led Jerry to order Blaine to lay off Amy. Tracy feared that she'll give Zach incriminating evidence against Rachel. Clarice began liking Olivia, who spied around town to find out about Robert's Bay City lovers and wives.
