Don't get me wrong, I wish Alan or any of her former castmates could find her, but no one seems to be able to connect with her. But at 88, even if they do find her, how do any of you know what  she would be saying? Alan is most certainly not afraid of her or anything she'll say. Bring on Eileen. Go find her and to anyone on here who thinks that Alan is afraid of what she'll say - YOU contact Eileen and interview her. Go ahead. We'd love to see it!!!!

John, don't let others dictate to you who you should and shouldn't talk to.

I don' t know how many older people you deal with but I can tell you, all the ladies in my family were spicy up to very end, and my Mom, was full of opinions and no problems letting you know them, and despite her dementia, could remember things from 70 years ago....(but ask her about 5 minutes..not so much.) As a matter of fact, she got spicier as people just dont give an F by then.  Don and Kathy have always been more laid back and not really treating the show as if it was their entire life.

@Mitch I thought Jay was my boyfriend?

Great episode! Loved the Margo and Barbara story. Betsy and Steve are so boring. Craig is what made their story work. Scott Bryce is such a great actor! Ugh! at Justin Dease! Is this the year he started yelling all his lines? Always love seeing Gunnar.

Lololol

I never cared for Kirk!

Jay was my Chandler Massey of the early 80s

I recently posted a pic of him. He still looks good.

I wish someone would interview him about his time on ATWT.

Ross was indeed very do-able. 

The older I get, the more I find younger people who are totally oblivious to all the cultural icons that I grew up with. Still, The Wizard of Oz is still broadcast on television every, so you'd think that it would not be outside the realm of the new generation's consciousness. Scary! I knew that society would go to hell when schools stopped teaching cursive writing, LOL!

I did think Meg Ryan was adorable as Betsy, but LF's version was a stronger, grown-up women, and in the end, that's most appealing.

I'd love to hear her uncensored take on Hogan Sheffer, Goutman and Jean P! At this point, I doubt she'd care much about filtering and censoring her comments. Alan would wet himself!

There's never a good way to transition from more softcore stroke posts, so I might as well just segue the best I can: Does anyone know if Marland always intended to break up Brian McColl (#4?) and Shannon for Duncan? He did write long story, and I'm curious. Did Pinter want to leave and they knew it, perhaps? She had solid chemistry with both men.

I enjoyed the episode with the fashion show and Richard Fairchild. Many thanks! I noticed that the headwriters were listed as Tom King & Millee Taggart, and I wondered if Millee Taggert were responsible for some of the humor in the Arielle and Lisa scenes. She always found humor in the roles she played on OLTL and SFT, while doing a fine job with the more dramatic moments.

      Jane Wyman return episode was head-to-head w/ Cheers season 8 finale. Falcon Crest broadcast syndication began Fall 1986, which overlapped w/ Oprah going national. AFAIK cable broadcasts were Lifetime and Soapnet. I have no memory of cable broadcasts on TBS, TNT, TNN, E!, FX.
    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
