Hey Carl, I'm sorry you don't have that magazine, but have you found any old pictures of Kimberlin Brown and Scott Reeves together?

Haha a mud-wrestler?.... I'm sorry but that is something out of Maria's book...... I'm trying to bash On Bill and his writers but yeah...

I guess he just had nothing else to do, or he was trying to get a soap appearance. He had an interview in the Digest around this time where he talked about how he watched all or most of the soaps, and wanted to be on Y&R, I think he wanted to play piano with Leslie. For whatever reason that never happened and his only appearance was on AW, which I thought was very charming, but now I wonder if he even wanted to be there - then again Liberace was born to be with Felicia Gallant - look at this outfit:

Deedee, I have a question?.... when Bill Bell wrote Y&R, did he have a tendency to get a little sloppy when it came to determining what time of day it is suppose to be throughout the show? ( i guess the word would be continuty) I ask this because i just got some classic Y&R episodes from ioffer from 1991, and 1993 and for example in this one 1993 episode there were some scenes when you looked out the window it was dark out, and then some where it was still light out?.... also i got a whole weeks worth of October 1991 episodes and Ashley was on the entire week, and the last day of the week she is wearing a different outfit but it is still suppose to be the same day....I know these seem minor but i always thought Bill was the type of writer to not throw viewers off by having stuff like that make sense, and in this case some did not.... Not that the episodes were bad they were great! :)

Haha yeah in the one episode i described it is very confusing, You start out with Lauren and Sheila in her suite and it is bright and sunny out the window and then you cut to the newman ranch with Victoria coming down the stairs and it is pitched black out, then we go to the Chancellor estate and its once again bright and sunny haha.... soo weird. I guess Bill thought that `perhaps it would not make sense for all these scenes to be happening at the same time frame, so we got to push some time frames forward a little bit or something like that... again not such a big deal, but I thought Bill was more careful when it came to stuff like that.

I had seen some YT clips of Nikki and John O'Hurley's Jim kissing a while back it looked (and sounds) like such a weird story. Judging from the clips O'Hurley was made up to look much older than MTS. O'Hurley was later in talks to join B&B as Eric's brother but it never happened.

I was going to ask but what did you guys think of Eve Howard's return and the re-introduction of Cole there in 1993?

So other than hooking up with Jim, what else was Nikki's story in 1989. That seems like such a quiet year for her. Granted i have seen the clips on youtube where she is with Casey and Little Victoria and Nick who was just newborn, and also the described clips of her making out with Jim, and i know she wanted to marry him, but yeah was there anything else in importance that happen with Nikki. ALso how did Scott and Cricket feel about their father marrying Nikki, and was there any "interfering" from Katherine then like recently with her and Paul?

    • 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.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
