Hated Chris--HATED. ANd never understood how he was meant to be Ryan's father or something...

ANd yes Clohessy is a great actor (in musical theatre too) and I remember him doing his best with fairly brief material--I also remember his confrontation was in their home which was a tiny run down shack that you'd never see in Pine Valley now lol

I actually don't remember a lot of these details and stories, but I have remembered nearly all of the Applause/Applause picks.

[DRW50]

I mostly remember those early "banter" scenes with Erica, and a big dog, and hot dogs, or whatever. That was the epicenter of Passanante hell.

And of course he was soon revealed as a secret agent, because being a janitor wasn't interesting enough. I think at that time half of Pine Valley were secret agents...

Early January 1992 SOM

[EricMontreal22]

I have that How to Host a Murder game and still have never played it because I don't know enough people who watch the show (especially back then) to play lol, so still don't know who the killer was. I did play a number of them at early high school drunk parties...

[SFK]

LOL, there were other posed stills from that Terrence-gets-his-ass-whooped-by-Deconstruction photo shoot that I remember seeing and DW does a poor job of selling ANY of them.

Wow, so Ripa and Thrower were totally effing. Would probably seem like a lifetime ago for her if she saw that layout.

If you're not looking closely the two guys beating him up look like Chris Rich and Ray Liotta.

"So you don't think we can go on without Lemay? We'll show you!!!"

Early December 1993 SOM.

[EricMontreal22]

I don't even remember Julia and Terrence. But being Canadian, I always found it slightly hysterical that that whole Ted/Dixie/Tad story culminated in the wild Canadian wilderness.

[DRW50]

I guess Julia made no impression on you until she was with Noah (they never did a lot for me).

What did you think of MEK as Ted? I don't know if it was here or in a magazine but the comments weren't favorable.

This SOM looks at the best of AMC in 1992.

[DRW50]

This is one I forgot, from the May 1992 SOM. Last, I promise!

[DRW50]

This is from a June 1991 Digest. I couldn't get the last half up so will type it out.

about fourteen. Sometimes they want a color picture. One girl sent me jewelry."

SOD: Which one is harder?

TM: "AMC is easier because I don't have to climb over the barricade [in the play, Tommy scales a wall to escape the bad guys], but for AMC, I get a new script every week that I have to memorize. In Les Miz, I know the songs. But it's easier to be in front of the camera because I know they can change it if I make a mistake."

SOD: Would you like to act your whole life?

TM: "if I had to make a decision to not do acting and do something else, it would depend on what the other thing was."

SOD: What would be a good storyline for Timmy?

TM: "Maybe he gets kidnapped. I'd have more to do and I'd get to work with some of the other actors."

SOD: Do you worry AMC will age Timmy?

TM: "They wouldn't age Timmy because then they'd have to make Kate Collins [Natalie] and James Kiberd [Trevor] older."

Tommy has come a long way on ALL MY CHILDREN in the past two years, but he still has a lot to learn about soaps.

He was... OK he played Ted as a shy, quiet, and kinda slow guy. Far from brilliant, but you could tell who was who and it wasn't as campy as it could have been in scenes between the two.

I actually kinda liked Julia at first as the rebelious sister--but I swear if she dated Terrence it was only a number of scenes.

HAHAHA. Though I guess they didn't age him for a while--and then they just dropped him...

[DRW50]

I guess they were planning to age or "hunkify" him, as he left before the show started pushing the Dillons out. Then they just dropped that to junk the family entirely.
