I was thinking about Susan the last few weeks because she has been very quiet on Instagram. She usually posts a few times a week. Now it makes sense. Last year she lost her mother and now Helmut. I hope Susan can lean on her family and friends during this difficult time.

You really saw and felt the love between those two when Susan finally won her Emmy.  I mean, the way they held each other and looked into each other's eyes before she went up on stage.  I could only WISH to have a man love me the way Helmut loved her.  RIP - and may God be with Susan and the rest of the family as they mourn this loss.

This has made me sadder than I could have expected. Their quarantined cooking tutorials were the highlight of my IG feed, you could just feel warm waves of their love emanating from the screen. And boy did it ever make my day when Susan responded to one of my comments on Helmut’s salad making technique.

It’s been some years now, but @DRW50 posted some early ‘70s AMC articles featuring Susan and Helmut. It makes me misty just thinking about them, relatively newlyweds so obviously in love, Liza and Andreas still years away, finding their feet with no clue of the heights this life would take them. And then in those IG videos, seeing them in their huge beautiful kitchen, empty nesters, having the same kind of intimate dinners they surely had 50 years ago.

Joseph, you may perhaps be thinking of Melanie Sawyer.   She was the first cousin of Pamela Kingsley, the niece of Brandon Kingsley, and the daughter of Judith Kingsley Sawyer.  She was a pupil of Mark Dalton's who dated Dr. Chuck Tyler following his divorce from Donna and prior to his marriage of Carrie Tyler.   (Melanie and Carrie were friends.)  She and Chuck travelled to Switzerland at the same time that Palmer and Donna were there, and Donna and Chuck conceived Palmer John.

Melanie was played by Carol McClure.   There is also a harpist named Carol McClure, and I have wondered for years if the two are the same person.   The harpist should have known better than to be playing on the wrong side of the keyboard!

Robert Morse played Harry the Bookie, a friend of Benny Sago during the time that Benny was addicted to gambling, has passed away.   He also had originated the role of Jerry on The Secret Storm with that CBS/American Home Products program premiered.

I met Larry Lau in unusual relaxed circumstances around June 20th either 1999, 2000, or 2001. (I'm not sure if it was the year AW was cancelled or the first year after or the second year after. We got together as fans, inviting other fans & actors, at Blondie's Sports Bar in Manhattan on those occasions & it was one of them.) I happened to be the person who greeted Lau & his gf & took them back to the "Hospitality Room". He was in a black t-shirt, black skinny leg jeans, black boots, black belt & his weight was down & he looked better than I'd ever seen him, meaning on AMC then later on AW. I remember knowing he'd been through something. I thought that it was getting cleaned up but I didn't know & I wasn't gonna know. He was just in s

uch a great frame of mind, very chatty, outgoing, really happy or doing a great job of seeming to be. He was kind & solicitous to his gf who was nice looking and friendly, but he wasn't overly so, either. I was truly impressed with what a fine human being he seemed to be at that point in his life. Tho't you might enjoy hearing this little slice. That is all. I will leave you be.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
