It does seem very random. I hope someone who is brave enough to sit through 2005 AMC can tell us for sure.

Aww, I loved 2005! I just went through a handful of episodes throughout that year and never saw his name listed in the credits, so who knows.

But gosh - great memories flooded back from that year! The Di/Dixie storyline had me ENGAGED, and I just saw the episode around Christmas where Di visits Dixie and we see her alive!

Edmund's funeral, Ethan Cambias, Jonathan/Erin/Ryan drama, JR/Babe, Julia was back... now I want to re-watch that year all over again haha.

I watched off and on in '05 but I didn't pay attention to those director credits at the time, nor would I have known his name back then. I feel like some of the more obsessive AMC scholars among us who could still stomach watching in that period would know. @EricMontreal22 maybe? I know Winther pre-dates Darn. Apologies to anyone I don't recall. I watched a lot of AMC from '93 on but my research into its vintage years is not nearly as in depth as the time I've put in on OLTL and GH.

There are a number of good moments, I just didn't know if people would want to go through all the episodes looking for credits.

Winther came back to direct a handful of episodes in 1996, possibly even just one episode. I'm pretty sure those were his last AMC credits.

Character’s Guilt Irks Actress on ‘Children' by Jon Michael Reed

NEW YORK — There isn't a fan of “All MY children” who hasn’t become obsessed with soapdom’s most popular whodunit. Since last September, everyone’s been dying to know who killed Eddie Dorrance. Even members of the “AMC” cast had a stake in finding out who the culprit was, since the guilty party would necessarily have to be X'd out of the script — and a job. To maintain the suspense, headwriter Agnes Nixon didn’t reveal the killer even to her cast. The half dozen suspects were totally in the dark about the story outcome. Last week they found out and the culprit was fit to be tied.

SUSAN PLANTT-WINSTON, who plays Claudette Montgomery, overheard stagehands discussing the technical problems of an upcoming car crash sequence that involved her. Sensing the worst, Susan demanded to know the truth from her producer, who explained that management had stalled telling her she was being written off the show. Producers, you see, are anxious not to have uncooperative actors on their hands. Susan pointed out that she should have been given ample warning so she could plan her next career move. Then she retaliated by showing up late for the following day’s taping.

SUSAN, A FORMER Miss Hollywood and Las Vegas showgirl shouldn’t have a problem landing another soap role. But her sudden axing still “smarts,” even though “AMC’ fans can now rest assured that the falsely accused murderess, Kelly Cole, won’t have to go to the electric chair.

*And I don't believe Susan ever worked in soaps again.

Ohh this is juicy and interesting. Thanks for posting! I tried to find a picture of her (actress or character) and wasn't successful, but I'm curious.
