Thank you for that detailed summary @will81! Before I read your commentary at the end I was going to replying how much I didn't like any of that. Sounds petty and like they didn't have much story to tell for either John or Jill so they threw them into whatever that was.

Fall 1994 through to the beginning of 1996 was when Nick and Sharon ate the show. I remember JC ranting to the soap press in that period about her lack of story, the focus on the younger cast members, and the male backside scenes. If I only I could find her interviews from that period.

What where Beth’s airfares as Traci between 1987 and 1996? Apparently she left and came back in 87 before leaving again in 93? I wonder why the show never had Traci be as prominent after that?

She first left in the fall of 1989 but then came back in late summer/early autumn 1990 before leaving again late summer 1992, with short term returns in 93, ‘94, and 96. 

I had wondered why Traci was never recast but by the time Traci was leaving out in the early 90’s with so many ladies like Nina, Christine, Dru, Olivia, and Victoria in play the character Traci had been eclipsed.

Traci left town around May/Jun 87 for about six months. The character went to Stamford. Jack went to visit her around thanksgiving to pursuade her to return for Christmas.

 

Traci left again with Tim Sullivan in Dec 89 and returned solo in Sep 90, just as Ashley was about say yes or no to Brad's proposal

 

Traci left with Colleen in Aug 92 for NYC, but I think she was on recurring or still on contract and appeared sporadically before returning in Jan 1993. I can't remember when she left, but she was there in early 1994 for the whole Brad's heart attack story and left shortly after that around summer 94 (I think June 94 but not sure). She returned around Feb/Mar 1995 when John had his heart attack but left within a month or so and returned again in Spring 96 when Dina returned, but again it was a short return.

Apparently Monica Potter debuted in June 1994, not March 1994. So how long was her duration as Sharon? What about Heidi Mark?

Debbie Allen tweeted a throwback clip of her B'way performance of West Side Story which also included Stephanie E. Williams (Amy Lewis) as a featured dancer.  Stephanie is the dancer in the checkered top.

Have seen this a few times and had no idea Stephanie was in this, just amazing, there is also footage from the Today show from 1980 as well. Thanks for sharing

 

I thought Monica was there very briefly, like a few weeks or less, they apparently wanted her back but there was some sort of miscommunication that occured. 

 

Here is the first mention I could find of her from July 10, 1994

Here is another one. I could not find anything about Heidi Marks other than this, but Monica Potter was on from around the week of June 27, 1994 and Sharon Case from probably early Aug, it would seem neither Potter or Marks were on for very long. 

 

I will check my 1994 SOD issues and see if they had anything in more detail.

 

This article is from Aug 26, 1994

I noticed someone was trying to upload episodes from 2000 and 2003 to the  Vault and they're not working (which I assume they know cause they tried multiple times). Maybe I can help? If that person is in here, you can post or PM me.
