Thanks for replying.

I didn't know who Dorothy was so thanks for answering that question too. Yeah she does look pretty good. She also reminds me of Loanne Bishop, Rose Kelly on GH around this time.

Jaime reminds me of a chess piece on an old computer chess game, I think it was Battle Chess. :lol:

Melinda looks terrific here. FYI--she would play Natalie Dearborn a year later on GH. She was in a storyline that also featured Beau Kayzer (as Dr. Bunny Willis). That was the summer of 1983.

Jaime Lyn looks dreadful here, sad to say--she actually looks like Julianna McCarthy with that hair peering out from the hat.

Alphanguy--JLB must've gotten her Grace kick after hearing "Pull Up To The Bumper" on the radio.

That's interesting, I never knew Beau was on GH. Too bad he didn't stay longer, but then GH was going through a lot of upheaval at that time.

Natalie was a spy or something wasn't she?

That's the first time I've ever seen Howard McGillin. I guess he didn't last long.

Beau was only on for a few episodes, maybe three or four. He played a childhood friend of Dr. Grant Putnam's. Bunny was a plastic surgeon and at the risk of boring you with the entire storyline, basically Bunny (Beau) told Natalie (Melinda) that something wasn't quite right with Grant and that he had seen a noticeable scar on his head. Bunny caught on (he wasn't supposed to), ratted to Natalie about it (not the wisest decision) and Bunny wound up dead--I think he was dumped in a river or something.

Natalie was an uber-spy with some sinister organization called DVX. She went by the name Natasha but was moonlighting as a physical therapist named Natalie. Natalie and Grant Putnam (also known as Andre Chernin--Andre was transformed into Grant as the real Grant was locked up in an institution in England) were in cahoots on-and-off but Natalie was pissed off at him because he was developing feelings for the woman he was supposed to bring misfortune to--his wife, Celia.

Howard McGillan was on Y&R for most (if not all) of 1982. He was the fourth and final actor to play Greg Foster.

Thanks. I knew some of the story but not Beau Kayzer having a role in it. I think Chris Schemering said that Melinda Cordell and the guy who played Grant and his double basically carried the show for most of that year.

I wonder if Howard would have had more of a chance if he'd come in before the Fosters were just about gone.

LOL...Melinda and Brian Patrick Clarke (Grant) ruled the summer and early fall of 1983 on GH. BPC ruled the first eight months of GH to the point where it was overkill personified. Grant's double appeared in January 1984. The showdown between real and fake Grant happened around August. Not to say it was so bad (I found BPC incredibly cute, especially in 1983 when he was dressed very preppy) but I came to loathe the real Grant, who turned out to be a complete psychopath.

I used to have a soap magazine from 1985 or so that bemoaned the horrible writing for Celia and Grant or the double or whoever in their last days, saying that he just "fiddled with the buttons on his lab coat."

I thought BPC was pretty decent on B&B, in the always thankless role of Storm Logan.

I think Julianna just got out of playing in an adult-cast version of Peter Pan :lol:

I guess Cash came in around the time Nikki was a stripper. He was popular with fans, I believe, so they kept him around off and on for a few years until he was killed off. He was in stories with Katherine. If anyone would appreciate a male stripper it's her.

Yes it was. That period fascinates me, the transition. I'd love to see those episodes. Just seeing "Leslie" with "Paul" and "Andy" is a bit jarring.

Eric did you get to see the OLTL fan club luncheon 1976 photos I posted a week or two back (when I was even worse at using a scanner).

    • Thanks for all the info. I did not know about some of that. That explains when Sue Ellen did her movie, she did not include Pam. I figured she would have the them do the scene of when J.R. caused her to fall that caused the miscarriage or show the flashback of it. Victoria was right to leave if they were not willing to pay her the same rate as Duffy. She got screwed because of Duffy leaving and then he gets paid the big bucks to return. I have come to dislike the Bobby character somewhat. Duffy seemed to get more smarmy/hammy as the show progressed, especially after his return. I always hated how Bobby threw Pam under the bus where Jenna was concerned. Even in the first year, Bobby would drop everything for Jenna and then acted like Pam was being ridiculous when she was a bit jealous. They resolved Charly was not Bobby's in that episode, but then when Jenna returned, they started that crap all over again. I might have cared if Fairchild had returned to the role and it was better written, but Presley did not impress me enough to care about Jenna.  I also thought it was a mistake to kill off Kristin so fast. She could have driven story for years. Since they did kill her off, they should have had baby Christopher to really be J.R.'s and have Bobby and Pam keep the secret for years. Maybe have little Christopher start to exhibit devious tendencies as he started to grow up. 
    • I’m not watching but people are saying the Muchova/Sabalenka match is great.
    • I think we're nearer the tipping point where SCOTUS will have to finally be overhauled, tbh. It will take time but it's rattled the general public.
    • Was she up for the part Julia Stiles got, I wonder? Dexter's equally crazy mate? I'd assume so. Claudia and Johnny were weirdly intimate together from the jump (and again, I felt it suited the very gothic characters) so I'm not sure I fully agree with that complaint, though I can understand not wanting it to be made more textual. I've seen too many women like Sarah Brown dismissed as crazy or irrational over the years only to be vindicated through the passage of time. So I'm sure Sarah has a lot of very valid and true complaints about her ordeals with her ex, some of her work at GH, etc. But I'm not sure what she wanted Jackie or others to do, or about what instance specifically.
    • I've seen several people suggest this is to save face for some terrible rulings to come. I don't doubt it, although I don't want to take for granted that we're near the tipping point where SCOTUS will have enough Alito types that they won't even give these crumbs. I wonder if Roberts, always so anxious and angst-ridden about public perception of the Court, finally feels foolish for boasting about the end of racism when he struck down most of the VRA.
