AMC articles, interviews, behind the scenes

[DRW50]

I love the Episodes too, I love the idea of a network having their own magazine. Everything is done with TLC, there's none of that awful snarkiness I hate. It's a shame that none of the networks thought of this earlier on. It could have been a long-running source of income.

Which issue was the Loving/AMC group?

Jack/Skye did seem random. Were they together on the show? Wasn't Skye being phased out at this time?

There was also a photo of Andy Harrison/Dan Wolek but I didn't include that. I will at some point just didn't want to bump up the OLTL thread for only that.

Yes, Skye was being phased out too. Skye was one of what I referred to as the Party People, you know, the cast members they only trot out when there's a large gala or ball? Chuck and Donna were also in that crowd at this time (shortly after they committed Emily Ann) I don't believe she and Jack were ever linked.

Skye left in early 1991, I think.

So I would assume that in the Fall of 1990, she was being "phased out", yes.

[EricMontreal22]

Yeah she had a story in Spring 91 I think (involving... Craig? one of the newer characters) and then was gone.

[Pine Charles]

I believe you're right.

Bad quality, but here's a scene of Skye telling Myrtle that she's leaving Pine Valley:

From the April 1, 1980 Digest.

Can you shed some light on "Phoebe Tyler Tells All"?

I thought at first it was suppose to be the character of Phoebe ("Jaunita" would be Jaunita Ramsey), but then it seems like Ruth Warrick because she says "All My Children" and the names of actors, ect.

Did Ruth W. actually do the writing?

[DRW50]

I think Ruth Warrick did write these. She blended some humor and comments about Phoebe's life in with her real life and adventures.

[Pine Charles]

Gotcha!

Thanks.

[EricMontreal22]

It's a fun read--and yeah is kinda a memoir of her life as well as her character on the show. I'm pretty sure Ruth was at the least heavily involved in the writing--it certainly sounds like her voice even comparing it to the long Museum of TV interview on youtube.

[DRW50]

Wasn't part of her book from around this time also written partially as Phoebe? Or not? I can't remember.

I love that she includes all the backstage stuff and also talks about many of her actor friends and acquaintances from Hollywood's golden years. Most of you are such big fans with so much knowledge of the actors and history but I don't know as much so it's a nice surprise.

[Pine Charles]

Yes, I think so.

Ruth's book is called "The Confessions of Phoebe Tyler".

I remember this book. I checked it out from the library way way back in the day.
