Love me some Brenda Epperson as Ashley

Me too....

She's more Ashley to me then Eileen is....I don't know why if it's because of the way they write Ashley now, but I can never picture Brenda's Ashley doing or saying any of the things Eileen does.....

I will say that I guess it's a good thing that the writers are playing up on the whole history of Ashley vs.Victoria, but everything about it is so contrived like the rest of the show...

I hadn't realized Peter Bergman's Jack was on the show back in 92…I miss TL in the role…he was so much better….

Yep Bergman has been on since November 27, 1989.

Ive never felt sympathy for Bergman's Jack….

I remember Lester's Jack leaving because he thought LLB had too much airtime on the show….

At least he popped up on ATWT as Lucinda's brother….and don't get me started on MKA on too as their sister…was in heaven.

Most people including myself feel the same way about Bergman....I always wanna think the Abbotts might have had more of a purpose in the future if Lester were still on all those years later....

With Lester's Jack…I always rooted for him against Victor…but with Bergman its been the opposite.

I always thought that Lester's Jack had more of a chance of one upping Victor, then Bergman always losing....it was better evenly matched with Lester and Braeden IMO...

Yup…and I think Bergman used smiling Jack which was Lester's phrase for just a short time before the writers dropped it.

If you watch some of Bergman's first few months as Jack from 1989-1990 it's a Lester impersonation that's very grating.....that's why they had write the character to suit Bergman which of course resulted in lots of stuff turning out the way it did for his Jack...

I always wondered why they replaced the original actress Wanda Acuna with Jennifer Gatti as Keesha ? Wanda I think is Puerto Rican and Jennifer I assume is Italian.

I googled Jennifer and found her facebook page. She recently married another woman.

I think there was some talk that they didn't think Acuna could play the dramatic AIDS story as that wasn't originally their purpose for Keesha. I'm not sure.

Thanks for finding that clip with Janice Lynde. I've never seen any of Leslie's time in the institution. I can see why she got that glowing writeup in Daily TV Serials.

She really is earthier than VIctoria Mallory.

And thanks for putting up the new 1992 episodes.

This was another video that person uploaded. It's so hilariously cheesy - those dancers, and John McCook...wow. Lawrence Welk would blanch.

Janice isn't bad though.

Thanks for answering my question about the Jennifer/Wanda switch. I remember being surprised when that happened onscreen.

That Janice Lynde special screams 1976 bicentennial disco fever......those dancers are just too much for words. Only in the 70's could you get away with wearing a white polyester jump suit shirtless with a scarf.

John McCook looks like a flamboyant Evel Knievel with some Donny Osmond tossed in.

Thank you!

Some of it's really nice and classy (I like the part where they each sing about their background, and I like some of the medleys between John and Janice). It's some of the solo numbers that are just so bad - John's "I Write the Songs," and Janice trying to uptempo when her voice just doesn't suit it.

I forget sometimes how handsome he was.
