This was a few years before we found out Les Baxter was a crime-lord, but you can tell that this guy was evil.

I have a photo somewhere of a cute hat charity show and he and Karen Lynn Gorney were wearing cute hats and chatting happily. It's Tara's fault that he ran roughshod over Pine Valley. No wonder she didn't appear for all those years.

LOL!

Does anyone know what Gorney looks like nowadays? I think it would have been appropriate for Tara to make a final appearence in Pine Valley....but I guess that won't be happening. I know there were at least 3 recasts, correct? I've seen clips of the blonde Tara. Were the other actresses popular in the role?

Aww I used to rush home everyday after school to watch Cyndi's 20 minutes of soap gossip and recaps on Komo

Someone else will know better than I do but I think Stephanie Braxton was popular as Tara - they only brought Karen Gorney back when Stephanie chose to leave the show.

I'm not sure about Mary Lynn Blanks or Nancy Frangione. I think by the late 70s Tara was becoming very played out.

They did something strange with her neck and head in that photo. I love the sweater though.

If anyone should be coming back from the dead on AMC, it should be Phil Brent. IIRC, Phil, last played by Nicholas Benedict, was killed off in a plane crash while on assignment for the government. But we all know how meaningless that is.

I say, bring back Richard Hatch or Benedict, then facilitate a reunion w/ Phil, Tara, and even Charlie and Kelsey.

Look at these end credits from 1994.... Julia gets attacked by early tea party members.

Ah, yes. The days when soaps had the luxury of padding episodes that ran short with 2 minutes worth of credits!

Erica and Opal hit Manhattan's 5th Ave. to go shopping with Baby "Sonya"...

LOL I was thinking the same thing--they don't even start rolling the credits till quite a bit in...

What is Maya doing in an episode from 1994? 17 years ago....is she Julia's unabortion?

Ha, but I don't follow. You mean Julia look like Maya?
