That Al Freeman, Jr. article is great, you can tell that's a man who really loves his wife. I wonder if they're still together. Oh how I long to be a '70s/'80s soap star with a nice place in the city and a weekend getaway upstate...

IMDB says they're still together, although you don't know how often it's updated.

109 pages. I forget sometimes that Phil would have that much dialogue, I think of Asa as just saying the same few catchphrases. That was later on though.

Do you know who that Blaine character was in the wedding photos? Poor Nicholas Walker looks a bit like an alien.

Here's a look back at when the Buchanan men rode into town. I wonder if we had the internet back then, if people would be complaining about how Asa, Bo and Clint ate up the show! The article is from Afternoon TV (1981)

In the spirit of history, would anyone mind if I posted a couple recent pictures of Ellen Holly (Carla) from this past October? I just found these; they're from a New York awards ceremony, and she really doesn't look all that different from how she did in 1983, save a white mane of hair.

I have no sense of etiquette and I don't have any kind of Photobucket account or anything and I'm usually no good at this so I'm going to try and do the cheap thing and just link directly to Contactmusic. Let's see what happens.

I guess they should be resized.

I'm glad to see her out and about and looking pretty damn good for her age. It stokes my mad dreams of them having her back on the show before she passes away in order to do right by the character and her family.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
