Stuart's last scene I recall was him and Liz heading out the door of the Brooks house, ready to head off to live in England (where Snapper & Kris moved to IIRC).  Never again saw him or the Brooks house.  I thought it was late '82, but may have been '83.  I don't know.

Someone mentioned that they read once in a synopsis that Stuart and Liz met up on Memorial Day 1983 but decided not to reconcile. Sounds like that would have been his last appearance. Stuart must have left w/o Liz because she stayed on the show til winter '85. When the Brooks girls came back for the '84 Victor/Nikki wedding, Stuart was not mentioned.  We saw Liz again in May '86 when Jill was shot. I think it was said she was living in England w/Snapper and Chris, but again no mention of Stuart

Yeah it was in synopsis that Stuart met with Liz on Memorial Day but it didn't mention if they reconciled, and then Stuart was never mentioned again. Robert Colbert was let go from the show shortly after, I think it was announced around Sep/Oct 83. So he may have appeared again but I doubt he did or at least t was probably very brief

 

When Brenda Dickson returned in Sep 83, Liz was still living in the Foster home and Stuart was nowhere to be seen, and didn't seem to be mentioned.

In one of the '82 clips, Katherine confirms that she once met Vanessa Prentiss! I know people have always been wondering...

Nikki says "have you ever met Lorie Brooks"

Katherine replies "yes, once long ago, with her mother-in-law, the late lamented Vanessa Prentiss"

I noticed that too, I hope we can see that some day. At least we finally got Kay and Lorie together, although they barely speak and Kay made no mention of the fact Lorie dated Phillip. 

 

Janice Lynde also wanted desperately to have Leslie and Kay interact and was trying to come up with ways to make it happen before she left.

Great! Do you have the next episode with Billy and Mac breakup scenes? 
I wish Ashley Bashioum stuck around to play those scenes with David Tom instead of KK. Although I’m not sure if the broke them up to give KK room to grow outside the pairing or if it was planned from the beginning. 
Thanks

Just reflecting on the Stuart/Liz discussion and how it ultimately fizzled out.

On paper it united the core families and should have served the show well moving into the hour format,

With Stu and Liz actively involved with Jill, Snapper and Chris, Lorie, Leslie, Peggy and Greg they should have been see regualarly in strong supporting roles.

But from memory and looking at old summaries that didn't seem to happen.

it's no secret Bill Bell was challenged with the longer format and juggling established characters with newbies.

 

So marrying Stu and Liz was bit of a dead end.

Maybe Liz could have been left pining for Stuart but realizing that they were from two different worlds. Keep her as 'Mom Foster'

 

And use Stuart to usher in a new family. I'm thinking Marla Adams as Dina Abbott,cosmetics heiress with an indulged playboy son Jack. Stuart falls for Dina.and they marry Then her ex John returns and they are still involved because of Jabot. Jack could bond with Stuart and John tries to win back his son's affections as well as re-unite with Dina. Lot's of story possibilties especially with Jill involved with Jack and John.

 

Then the other Abbott daughters return.  All of this could have started in 1980, rather than waiting till 82 to usher in a new family.

 

I could see Lorie involved with Jack on some level. Chris working at Jabot for her stepmother.

I think Dorothy Green (Jennifer) also questioned why her character never interacted with Kay. When Bill Bell killed off Jennifer in 1977, Green was vocal in the press how Jennifer, Kay, Liz and Vanessa were written as long suffering by Bill Bell and was unhappy about it. She implied he did not know how to write for happy stories for older women. 

 

Kay did appear at the 1981 Gala Ball when Lorie stole Leslie's spotlight by wearing that dress slit to the crotch.

    • There was a scene in the past week or two with Leslie looking at some papers and mementos, which included an invitation or souvenir from Alan's memorial service or funeral -- it was dated as November 2024. Me just guessing but it seems to me that Martin's nightmares about the accident are from something longer ago than November.
    • ah thanks! do you know who the third one was in the blonde? the fifth one i know ive seen before in the brown wig but i forgot, and then ive never seen the psychic one before lol
    • I felt for Ted early on but as the story unfolded it has changed my opinion on him. To know he was cheating while his wife was struggling to give him a baby is a lot to deal with. Plus, this happened ages ago and still he's paying Leslie off and threatening her to leave town.  What really caused me to lose him in this episode was how even though he was busted, he still refused to take responsibility and come clean and the way he talked to Martin and Eva was terrible. To tell Smitty he better get Martin away from him when that is his SON who he used to cover up his affair? That is true dog behavior. Ted seems upset he got caught but I'm not seeing the remorse I would need to want Nicole to forgive him. I'm curious how I'll feel after Ted gets to talk to Nicole but I need him to fix it with the rest of the family as well.
    • I'm sorry. I well remember Jake doing Doris but I have no independent memory of the story around it.  Krystle with a K Lake, sure, both Tony the Tuna stories & NOT.  And, Jake also impersonated a woman named Bunny Eberhardt but he didn't know she was a woman so there was no drag. This weekend I re-watched Kevin & Mac, GH, and my strong impression is exactly what it was when I watched it in real time: They did not let them look very pretty. Of course, I think the best ever drag on GH was Alexis posing as the Q butler.  In a different use of drag at AW one Halloween, Jensen Buchanan went as Charlie Chaplin & Judi Evans went as, I think, a male gypsy.

    • I'm not sure who wanted them to dump REUNION & instead do a "Dallas-like daytime show" but it seems that it def came from NBC to AW through Rauch, so, yes, it absolutely could have been his (cough-another-stupid?) decision!!!! I've just begun the new Lisanti book so maybe I will find out. (I waited for the kindle version to come out.) I would apologize for being so critical & so sarcastic, too, but, well, I'm not actually sorry!  Silverman was NOT a friend to AW.  And, I believe the critique is on point & deserved! I wanted to explain why I think the timing is off for the 90 minute show to be a reaction to the GH Luke & Laura story & its hype. Because, for sure, networks & production companies did react to it! The first 90 minute show was Monday, March 5, 1979.  And, there was some unknown amount of time ahead of that with people arguing about it & then, planning it.  The Luke & Laura wedding was mid-November 1981.  They were on the run from Frank Smith & stayed overnight in Wyndham's Dept. Store early August 1980. 
    • terrible at using forums and inserting photos, but jake in another world had a drag persona named doris, anyone know the episode or year? http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/ffad19.jpg
    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.
