danfling, were you a OLTL fan too?

[Pine Charles]

Margo and Claudette were Trash.

Yes, I actually prefer One Life to Live.

I did not begin watching the show, though, until around 1976. This was around the time of the death of Victor Lord and the introduction of the Vernon family.

The market in which I live did not have an ABC affliate until 1970, after One Life to Live premiered. I did not know anyone who watched One Life to LIve here. It was only when I was in college when I met two girls who loved the show. I still did not watch it, but I began a few years later.

MARGO!!! On a regular basis, I am desperately searching for as much as a two-second clip of Margo. She's the AMC character I most want to see more of, and I will not stop until I get some!!

When you say they used a new version of the theme on that one episode, are you referring to the premiere of the arrangement they'd end up using throughout the rest of the 70s and through the 80s, or was it a short-lived arrangement that's been lost? I seem to recall WoST having two short arrangements of the classic theme that haven't shown up anywhere else.

That sounds like an amazing story. I would love to see some of Margo's run as well. I didn't realize that Margo's Claudette was the same one who killed Eddie either. I wish they had not killed her off, especially in such a harsh way.

[danfling]

The theme was the one used in the late 1970s and 1980s. I added that because some people know the date of when the change took place.

I have not seen any clips of Eileen Letchworth as Margo. I may have seen photographs.

I failed to mention that Claudette was in love with Lincoln when she returned from prison. She kept hoping that he would drop Kelly and accept her as a new wife.

Nice promo. Probably better than the story if it's the Silver stuff.

I love the whole Gothic tone of it.

And to think, Charlie ended up married to Cecily. SMH.

[All My Shadows]

GOD, you really have no clue how much I'd love to see some scenes between these two in that apartment. Young, enterprising Erica up against this woman who "seen some thangs." Classic AMC at its best.

[Cheap21]

they were boring as hell. I dont know why she was brought back in the 90s, bc the decade wasnt good to her. I hadnt seen her original 80s run but I thought she was such a boring and useless character

[Khan]

To this day, I think AMC's writers paired up Charlie with Cecily because they were ready to dump the both of them and didn't know what else to do with them. Honestly.

[DRW50]

I think McTavish had plans for Cecily (she was supposed to be a pot-stirrer and live with Phoebe) and when she went, they went with her.
