Thanks for sharing too!!!! I've seen the Christmas 1987 episode several times but have never seen the follow-up. I was wondering if Rex knew that Katherine had Nina stored hidden away in the mansion. Great seeing early Leanna with a darker edge early on. Her and Lester's Jack have fun chemistry though, I can definitely see them writing Ruthless together down the road. Ashley looked a hot mess though. Always a bit off whenever I see Lauren's late '80s blonde hairdo. 

 

Marc Mergeron is a such a Dynasty character I wonder why Bell even brought him back, especially to be involved with Joanna. Marc's French accent is noticeably a lot heavier than in his first run.

Thanks for the uploads. I was watching as a kid off from school during this time. I will get around to watching these when I get time. Speaking of Amy in Airplane, Doug Davidson's wife Cindy had a role in Airplane II: The Sequel. 

 

I also remember Amy Gibson as the *itch who made fun of Jo on Facts Of Life about her mother being a waitress. Blair smashed pie in her face. It was in the episode The New Girl Part II.

Here's a question - when Nathan Hastings first came on the show in '84, he was known as Kong, right?

I was looking through the cast listing of the YR 25th Anniv. book, and it says that Kong was first played by Oscar winner Forrest Whitaker! That's the first I've heard of this. Anyone remember him in the role?

    • I've always said that JFP's main problem is that she comes up with some shocking event and she plans around the event but she never thinks much about the emotional fallout for the characters or the fans. That's why so many of her stories don't work and damage her shows. I like your idea about Lando playing the person involved in hitting Maureen. It would have given Peter Simon something to do which is the feeble excuse they gave for killing Maureen off in the first place. Instead, they gave us the dreck they did.  And they were so obsessed with recreating the blackout week that they kept putting characters in fires and blizzards. None of which I saw, but going through the Logan columns I noticed: every few weeks, someone at GL would give an interview to Logan saying GL was going to get better because they had a great new storyline (A fire! A blizzard! A fire!) . Insanity.  
    • @Contessa Donatella, Make sure to cite your sources when making claims such as "apparently she just inked a new deal." This information has not been reported anywhere and is therefore not known to the public, unless disclosed by the actor in question themselves. Once again, stop stating information as fact without providing a legitimate source. What you read or hear somewhere, from either message boards or on social media, does not make it true. This includes information from your "sources."

      Sorry.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieDNct2sgXU  
    • I don't believe it either, @kalbir.  Ironically, I think KL's first producer, Joseph B. Wallenstein, ended up producing "Hotel" as well.
    • Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.
    • For once, I agree with Maurice.  AMC and OLTL had seen better days, IMO, but to assume that the audience would stick around for "The Revolution" or "The Chew" was pure hubris on the network's part.
    • It is funny to think of how the character of Philip II, and the recasting of Jill, really changed the trajectory of Kay.  One assumes she would've mellowed with time, naturally.  But, as someone who started Y&R @ 1986 (when Brad married Traci), I rarely associate Kay with her more venomous past.
    • At Santa Barbara I think she inherited a very strong structure. I also think it's the first time she exhibited the Peter Principle & was promoted just one step above her level of assured competence. If she'd stayed in Music Production I guarantee you she'd have more awards & also a stellar rep.  Oh, we totally agree then.  Betty Rea GL 1970-1996 & at 82 she died 12-23-99. Worked for the show for 26 years. Shorter time at ATWT. GL had no casting director from 1996 till 1999 when  Rob Decina came on board. (He found Tom Pelphrey at college in NJ.) he was 1999-2009, so bitter ender.  Jill GL 1989-1994, so I would guess that Betty was pretty tired & Jill just ran over her, which probably made her last years miserable because this lady was legendary! All years from imdb which CAN be wrong.
