All My Children Tribute Thread

Here's another: "...the cast and drama metastasized...".

"Metastasize," as defined by Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, is:

Going further: "metastasis" is:

Now, you could argue this writer meant the first definition. However, when you use a word such as "metastasize," you cannot help but conjure images of cancer in the minds of your readership.

Again, I'm just saying.

I was just saying in another thread that NY Magazine did a better job with the facts on that long-winded timeline (as far as I've seen) than People Magazine did with the facts in their tribute issue.

People Magazine said that Kendall killed Stuart.

You almost feel a fan did that timeline, with People you could tell the people behind it rarely watched and were asking around and maybe not really fact checking all that much. But like Soaps In Depth, really beautiful pictures!

November 1971 Afternoon TV.

I see it as a tad irreverent, but done with love.

Original Brooke! So was that from 1977 then?

I'd love to see that Mike Douglas episode.

1976

Carol Burnett had a brief cameo before she came on as Verla, right? I wonder how long it took her to fill her promise. It sounds liek the soap press was starting to come around to AMC--it was only a few years earlier that there was that review blasting it.

One of the old soap magazines from Judith's AW days had a wedding spread. Wisner has a certain handsome/offbeat look. I wonder how much that ended up playing into AMC casting. Probably not, but if you look at him, he looks a little like some of the men of the '70s (Nick, Mark).

Anyway, I'm going to post a few Soap Opera Magazine bits as they had fun little moments for each soap each week.

This is from a May 1992 issue.

Early October 1993 issue.

[DRW50]

Also from this issue.

In honor of Stuart's happy return. I hope this hasn't been posted yet. It's just adorable and it has Jennifer Bassey to boot, along with a very game little boy playing AJ.
