I said I liked Nina's top and she's wearing it again, nearly a year later. Well, works for me.

The little boy who plays Bobby has a nice bond with Peter Bergman. I have to admit the Cliff/Nina stuff bores me a little but it's nice to see Myrtle's boarding house.

Is Nina pregnant?

Do you know who is playing Cecily's friend (I know she was in the April 87 episode too)? She looks so familiar.

The flashback of Jeremy taking down Natalie's hair is touching.

I never knew Jack interacted with Natalie or worked for Palmer. It's too bad they later made him so upstanding - he works as a bit of a wheeler-dealer.

So was Erica heavily pregnant when she married Travis? She has her baby in the spring and they're making it sound like she and Travis just got married.

I have the episodes where Erica gives birth marked as early February.

Yes, Nina is pregnant.

Not sure about Cecily's friend as the credits are cut off. I'd have to look and see if I have another episode with her with the credits included. I know the character was named Dagney.

Thanks again for watching and commenting. I always enjoy reading your comments on the episodes.

Jack was very much the bad boy of the family when he first came on. He didn't become good and upstanding and moral until around the time he decided he couldn't and wouldn't lie for Erica on the stand during the custody trial, and that change in personality on intensified when he got involved with Brooke.

I think Erica and Travis got married after Erica was kidnapped by Joanna and then got shot or something. But yes, I believe they were married before Bianca's birth. I think Bianca was born in late February. Erica was NEVER 'heavily pregnant' - even when she was in bed suffering from toxemia right before the birth, her 'baby bump' was ridiculously small compared to the bellies of normal pregnant women. wacko.png

Thanks.

So Erica and Travis weren't married for most of her pregnancy? Or am I messing up timelines?

I wonder if Phoebe or Enid clucked over that.


I hope some of these episodes might have some Erica/Silver scenes. I remember when I first started to read up on the show I wanted to know if Silver and Erica had any interaction on Silver's return stint. I know they were on that island together, thanks to the videos, so now I hope we might see that scene where Erica encourages Silver to fight for Jeremy.

That scene where Silver asked Jeremy if he had any regrets over not being with Erica kind of made me a little sad.

With the anniversary of the Northridge Earthquake just having come a week ago, I was reminded of one of my All My Children memories. Even though we lived 60 miles north of the valley, the power in Santa Barbara was knocked out for hours and I recall my mother and grandmother being disappointed at missing the show, because Grace Keefer had kidnapped a baby and they wanted to see what happened next. "Shoot, we gonna miss what she did with that baby", lol.

Yes, Aunt Grace, the wonderful Lynn Thigpen. I am friends with Lynn's former agent, and she established a memorial program for Lynn and Bobo Lewis. They do acting seminars for folks entering the business. I attended one where the special guest was Judy Blye-Wilson, who cast Lynn on AMC as Grace (Lynn had formerly appeared on AMC as Aunt Cora Baxter in the early '80s). Lynn was in the Godspell movie with Victor Garber, Gimme a Break as Nell Carter's sister, Lean on Me, Where in the World is Carmen San Diego? as the Chief, et cetera, et cetera...

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
