I'm glad you shared that information. I've been trying to find any information on Paul Roberts, but all I could uncover was that he worked on ONE LIFE TO LIVE with Agnes Nixon and Don Wallace.

Does anyone know anything at all about K.C. Collier or John Saffron? Both worked as HW's on ATWT during the early '80s.

I will always remember this explosive storyline. I still laugh at when Kim asks Bob if he used protection with Susan and Bob say's somwthing like " I didn't exactly go there with a box of condoms and Kim goes into a rant about Susan's past and all the men she's been with and him catching something.....LOL

I'm re-watching the soap Classics DVDs and watching the episode where John humiliates Lisa and it opens with Mark and Connor. Were they popular? Because I can't stand either actor, their both cringeworthy. I felt like I was watching a parody of a soap opera. The show wasn't exactly exciting then but they stood out as terrible to me.

I wouldn't call Mark/Connor popular. Allyson Rice Taylor was---she was fired shortly afterwards, and the recast was an epic failure. Mark (I think) lasted until '97, but Oakdale was Kasnoff free I think by June of that year.

They weren't that popular together, although they had something of a fanbase.

AR-T was one of my favorite actresses on the show in those years, although I had to stop watching at that point because the show just felt so alien to me. I think when the ABC people came in they assumed no one cared about her because she wasn't a big name. There was a huge backlash over her firing, and it got them off to a bad start, which they never recovered from.

Nice to see some ART talk....I miss her on TV. I don't believe the couple were popular. I think most hated that Cal was thrown to the curb. I thought Connor was better as an independent woman. She didn't need a man in her life.

I agree. I do think they had a few fans, but I wasn't one of them. I preferred her with Cal, or on her own. Back then women on ATWT had an identity beyond men, although that was starting to change. Connor was such a rich and deep character. My favorite part about her was her relationship with her brother and mother.

Connor was great with Cal, they were both very headstrong, independent characters that worked great as a couple but also as individual characters as well.

Connor was friends with Lily, Damian, Emily, and Rosanna while sharing a love/hate relationship with Lucinda. I liked that Lucinda/Connor never were as close after the Walsh takeover. Nowadays, the two would have become soul sisters within a year.. but back then, characters with bad history would normally never be close.

The Lucinda and Connor dynamics were great! Their story was one of my favorites. Of course Douglas hit gold again with Neal and Royce...too bad MKA didn't stay long enough....she is another one I miss on tv.

Thanks for sharing all of that. Perhaps it was just that one scene/episode. I wanted to like Connor but my mind was made up on Mark. I'm going to have to YouTube some Lucinda/Connor, that sounds like it could be great and I could see ART with a talented scene partner.

Speaking of Connor, she's in some of this episode (the last half of an October 1994 episode - not great, but it's OK, some better than others...it's nice to see some of the last era of business stories, even if they'd run out of steam and become just talk talk talk by this time). The highlight of this for me is probably the scene with Duncan and Devere - great acting. I also like the warm parting of the ways with Kirk and Connor. Lucinda has a scene too (I keep forgetting she still wore somewhat sexy outfits at this point), with Shannon, which was a surprise. I miss that character interaction on soaps. Some good scenes with John too.

Part of an October 1995 episode.

The stuff with Orlena is pretty weak but I did enjoy the Jeremy/Margo scenes (before Margo became so bitter) and the scenes with Nancy, Kim, Mac, Bob. Helen Wagner does a great job.

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
