LOL this is the storyline that was happening when I got grounded for a week and I couldn't watch.  It pissed me off SO much that I couldn't watch.  I would sneak downstairs and try to watch through a mirror in the stairwell but could barely hear it.  I just remember pixie-cut Dixie, in a hat, was trying to rescue Tad in the rushing river water.  What memories!

Well, folks have always said I was an old soul.

I can't remember exactly when MEK returned as Ted/Tad, but I do remember that Megan McTavish was on thin ice with me already.  The quality of the day-to-day writing decreased for me almost as soon as her name began appearing first in the credits.  Tad/Ted, however, was the first time that I questioned her ability to tell a story cohesively and on her own.  It was just too damn misleading, creating a whole bunch of suspense - "Why do Tad and Ted look alike?  Are they related?  And why do share the same memories?" - that led to nothing.

I received an e-mail from a friend who came across some scripts from AMC 1979. He's trying to identify the actors that played these roles so he can add them to imdb. 

Can anyone help? It's so sad that Danfling is no longer with us, he probably would have known.

Thanks to anyone that can help!

1982 Daytime Emmys AMC Edit
Best Supporting Actress
Dorothy Lyman as Opal

In another part of the show when they announced the nominees for Best Actor, the first name was James Mitchell & the camera landed right smack dab on Darnell (who had previously been correctly spotted in the Supporting category) but here Darnell reacted using only his eyes, looking first alarmed but then he sent his eyes hard to his left, which the camera person GOT & moved the camera to his left, where James Mitchell was sitting! LOL, cute.

I've been very very preoccupied with personal things (had a long vacation out of town with my husband... and now adjusting to getting back to work), so I've been struggling to find time to watch my soaps... I can barely even manage BTG at this point.  

I don't know how, but I managed to go through almost 2 entire seasons of AMC in a very short period of time... and it was inevitable I will need a little break somewhere along the way. 

As I recall, I'm still at the last posted review here - the episode where Adam staged the baby's disappearance in order to scare Dixie. When I go back... I'm most interested in what is going to happen to Erica when she finds out her father is alive. Will she hyper-focus on him and ignore the other men in her life... Will they have a healthy relationship, or the toxicity will prevail. And of course Dixie's turmoil. I want to see how far Adam will go in his manipulations and sadism. 

I'm flattered that someone cares for my reviews and it that just makes me smile. Thank you! I've never stopped thinking of AMC. I even dream about the show and see the characters in my dreams.

    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!
