Some of those wouldn't have been too bad.

Was Taylor Miller still on AMC at this time?

A few years before this SOD had done a big photo shoot with her and Tony Geary and oh what if Luke and Nina knew each other.

Is this Lara Parker of Dark Shadows? Was she on Capitol at this time?

[ghfan89]

That's the only Lara Parker I could think of too, I don't know. Taylor Miller was still on AMC at this time, she didn't leave until 1984, I believe. I remember AMC having a big issue with three of their big actresses all leaving around the same time (Kim Delaney/Marcy Walker/Taylor Miller).

Lara Parker was still appearing on "A New Day in Eden" as the final episodes were airing in August 1983. Her character Betty Franklin was raped by the show's serial rapist in one of the show's last episodes.

It wasn't LauraParker/Lara Parker - it was Laura Malone. They paired Blaine with Jimmy Lee.

Nina was with Steve Jacobi (Dack Rambo) at this time. They paired Steve with Sloane Denning(Debrah Farentino).

Did SOD cover New Day in Eden? I saw an ad in there for another Showtime late night soap opera, I can't remember the title.

Thanks. Blaine/Jimmy Lee would have been a great pairing.

Thanks for posting those. I'm not sure how perfect some of them are (Felicia/Floyd, really?) but I would have enjoyed seeing Nola and Eugene together.
