ALL: Oprah-Are You The Biggest Soap Opera Fan?

So that's the first Jeff beside Michael Nader? Which actor was that? Charles Frank?

Nick Surovy looks about the same in the face but that outfit isn't very flattering.

Larkin's aged a fair amount in the last few years.

Richard Shoberg looks about the same, yet without being plastic, and he's also well-dressed. When will AMC bring back Tom and Livia and Jamal and give them proper material? They don't even do anything with the Hubbards, but the Fryes also have good history on the show, and I wish they would use this while they have a chance.

Walt always looks great (while still looking human). I think the clothes help too. David Canary looks very good but that outfit really isn't the greatest - an ill-fitting jacket and black turtleneck. I also wonder why Larkin had no proper suit pants - was he wearing some sort of shocking T-shirt before taping and they had to put him in a suit jacket?

I'd say combining looks and clothes I'd go Walt > Dick Shoberg > David > the rest.

I like it too even if it looks a little like she put on some drapes.

When she has that smile on her face it reminds me that I have long thought she would be a very good host if they ever remade Fantasy Island.

It all reminds me of one of those early TV sitcoms about a loveable garbageman or something.

From left to right, it's Phil (Nick Benedict), Jeff (Charles Frank), Dimitri, Adam, Tom, Jack, Travis, and Mike. What Mike is that? I can't determine whether or not that's the one from when Adam was kidnapped by Billy Clyde and Jewell while Erica and Mike were rendezvousing in the Chandler mansion.

Nick Benedict is kinda looking like the white Charlie Wilson with that mustache. I wonder if Charles Frank is still married to Susan Blanchard, who played Mary on AMC (who Jeff had after Erica and with whom he started raising Tad before she was murdered in a break-in at their house).

I wish they would have just made this a SuLu show. I want to see an extensive retrospective on all things La Kane, full of clips (besides the ones we see ALL THE TIME -- "Pine Valley isn't exactly the corner of Hollywood and Vine," I'm talking to you!!).

They would have to be in a arena for that. :lol:

I forgot to add that I'm surprised how good Michael Nader looks, I think abc should give him another chance. I loved erica with dimitri. And that oprah is totally an amc fan and tried to pretend that this show was about all soaps for fairness.

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
