She definitely wasn't the original Dr. Tolan.  Ceara was seeing her in 1991 to deal with her father raping her as a child; it was a different actress.  I liked her.


Anyway,  I cannot FATHOM how Kate Collins was never even NOMINATED for an Emmy.   But, then again, someone made a good point that they didn't want her competing for votes w/ Susan Lucci.  She should have at least been nominated for the Ross rape/Silver Kane story and definitely Natalie/Janet.

Susan has posted on her Instagram account that Mark La Mura (Mark Dalton) has died. I'm not seeing it anywhere else, but her post is pretty recent (45 minutes ago), so I would assume we'll see more tomorrow. I'm very saddened by this - Mark, to me, embodied a lot of what made AMC such a fun, lively, and successful soap in the late 70s and early 80s, and of course, there were the more dramatic storylines written for the character later on. I'm very thankful Megan McTavish brought the character and actor back several times in her last stint.

This makes me so sad.  I fell into a brief melancholy period of AMC/OLTL nostalgia last week.  I tried to add screenshots of Susan's IG post but SON says the file's too large.

 

He was so young.  And such a handsome man.  I loved how he really looked he could be Susan's brother and Albert Stratton's son.

I've been pretty steadily making my way through HamiltonBernique's uploads, all of which are new to me, so my AMC urges are satisfied regularly. I've gone through some pretty big life changes recently, so being able to get back into AMC and discover some of its best years has been an invaluable coping tool. I love, love, love our show, man. I'll be 80 years old, and they'll still be on my mind.

I think I established a few years ago that I truly believe Mark to be AMC's most attractive male star, period. He and SuLu were just SO gorgeous together, and yes, they matched each other so well as siblings. I would give my left leg to fully watch their heyday as PV's hot youngsters in the late 70s. Those pics from the disco say it all.

He was a stunning guy - his eyes and smile and chiseled features, and the rest, as we know from After Dark. He was also a good actor. I'm sorry that the show never did more with him in later years. 

 

I think that Erica and Mark were two of the only "oops they're siblings" characters to actually bond as siblings. Most of the time one would be written out soon after (Marie on DAYS, Lorie's brother Mark on Y&R, et al).

I think the work they did with Erica and Mark really stemmed from the fact that Erica needed someone other than Mona in her life to bounce her quirks off of and also a male figure who wasn't a potential love interest, a "guy" for her to be close to without the inevitable paring up. It's usually a pet peeve of mine when they write a long-lost sibling in as if they'd always been around, but it just made sense and worked with Mark.

The best thing they could have done for Mark that they didn't do was make Josh his son.

I tend to wonder how much was down to how different he was to most men on AMC up to that point, especially those in Natalie's life. I sometimes wonder if it was also a tacit admission to how much of Natalie's personality they had seeped away over the years.

IDK what it is, but I find him horrible. Why did they stick poor Natalie with him? 

 

I can't fathom him with his constant judging, his righteousness, the way he always finds a way to butt into people's business...

 

I don't know if it is me, but he remind me of Ryan in the last 10 years of the show. Maybe Trevor was the prototype.

    • There hasn't been a media blackout, there's been live coverage on national news all weekend.
    • There's been something of a media blackout, but beyond that the only reason it's getting any attention is because Trump and the Republicans and their sycophants in the press are trying to create riots to pave the way for martial law.  And of course all the people who care more about setting fires and destroying property than anything else are happy to help them.  I've seen more interest in people arguing about whether or not they should be waving Mexican flags and how American flags are tainted than I have in the cause, which just reinforces what a malaise we are in. Many who claim to care about immigration only care to the tips of their fingers, just like Palestine and the rest. But these policies what people voted for. As long as they personally aren't affected, they are eating all this decimation up.
    • I was happy to see Caroline again even in one short scene. This was her first appearance since April 3. I was wondering why we haven't seen her, since Hayley desperately needs a talk-to aside from Bill.  I am also wondering where Jacob's partner is. Does Marcel have an opinion on Jacob spending so much time on the Laura case? Especially since Marcel warned Jacob about allowing his family to get in the way of police business. I liked seeing some vulnerability from Leslie today when she begged Eva to give her the helmet and gloves back. I'm still wondering how she will get out of the corner she has been written into. When we were first introduced to Leslie, she seemed like she might be a Machiavelli but since then it's clear that she more of a haphazard villainess doesn't seem to have a long term plan aside from causing random chaos.  Chelsea's desperation is cringeworthy but I actually think it's fairly realistic for someone who is closeted or newly out. 
    • Not to mention Leslie has made a formal complaint and requested a restraining order so there is a trail of her acknowledging that Kat is doing the most and basically harassing her. I bet that bites her in the butt   It truly is. Chelsea is 23 and doc has to be at least 30. She has too much to lose so I don't see why she'd even bother considering an immature social media girl thats already showing signs of acting unstable. She knows who she is so she knows all the mess surrounding her such as filming her mother shooting a gun at a wedding, not to mention the recent drama with her WORK colleagues, Ted and Niicole. Madison needs to not get involved with a daughter from that family. It just reeks o mess that could impact her professionally
    • I'm really sure now that Leslie is going to skate on the charges now that Kat stupidly broke in and planted the evidence. At this point Jacob probably won't even being able to tie that helmet and gloves back to Leslie because it's been moved around too much.
    • Seriously Drew is scum. Does he actually even love Willow or does he just like having someone he can control?!
    • Having them interact so much now has been such a treat. My new favorite duo. The desperation is such a turn off.

    • Lunacy has enough money to buy stylish clothes, hair/make-up, an apartment, a weapon and get custom, glossy posters targets. OK.
