I don't think Linda Dano would have been too keen on playing Genie Francis' mother.

Well, that makes two (billion) of us.

I think the whole Gretel Rae/Sky story was a good concept but not with those characters. Instead of Gretel they should of had a character with some significance like Karen on OLTL and instead of Sky they could have used a newer character on AMC or a character that had less significance but one for quite some time. Maybe they should have picked Karen being the mother and Greenlee being the daughter since Greenlee was new at the time. I would have loved to see Greenlee at the Q thanksgiving episode back in 2001 instead of Sky! Also, the fact that Jackson was not yet revealed to be the father of Greenlee until 2004(?) and to the best of my knowledge that did not damage either characters too much so stating that the father was Allen still could have worked. Also, I would love to see Karen the Hooker VS Tracey the Spoiled Brat!

Hrmm. Not sure, but there is no doubt that the Linda Dano story didn't work, IMHO. Sure, Myrtle is beloved, but after her appearance on AMC, there was no real reason for AMC viewers to follow her to OLTL. Sky hadn't been on AMC for a while (and the replacement Sky we had gotten before was fairly well liked, I believe--granted she was the first Sky Iknew well), and I don't even remember if Sky made an appearance on AMC leading up to her moving to OLTL--not that I remember. It seemed like when Angie joined Loving and yet should have spent a few weeks at AMC first to actually get viewers interested in following her to a new show (or in many cases, I suspect, even aware that she WAS going to a different show.) And then of course there just was the execution--maybe all those shows was too much to handle, but it made the AMC/OLTL babyswitch in comparison look like the best soap story of all time.

Robin Christopher didnt appear on AMC before joining OLTL. Her one and only AMC appearance post-leaving AMC in 1991 was after Stuart's funeral. She found out about his death in the newspaper and showed up after the funeral to blast the family for not telling her

Robin Christopher was on Another World from 1994–97 as Lorna....Felicia's daughter. So Linda's played Robin's mother twice.

Thanks--I watched pretty faithfully back then (and remember the funeral), but thought I missed something. They taped in the same city--it just seemed dumb that they didn't

I had always hoped that it would've been reveald that Skye was in deed the daughter of Grete/Rae and Adam as a result of tryst, while is married to Skye's adopted mom. Somehow Adam could've coerced Rae into giving him and his wife the child. Skye being around for the end of the show could've had so much possibilities. Just think if Skye stepped into running Chandler Enterprises and her sibling battles with JR. Could have made for some interesting and entertaining viewing.

You gotta love the tabloids! This was their cover story back in 2000. The story was actually about Erica's daughter being gay.

Commentary from Liza Huber: "Liza Huber is used to seeing mother Susan Lucci (Erica, ALL MY CHILDREN) in the press. But Huber will never forget the Star headline: "Susan Lucci's Gay Shocker." She chuckles, "It was the funniest thing. My friends were calling me, laughing." Still, Huber loves the storyline of Erica's lesbian daughter. "It's great because that is certainly something people deal with, and it's not addressed that much in daytime television." Huber adores her mom's on-screen daughter. "I have been able to spend some time with Eden [Riegel, Bianca]. She's a great girl. Whenever I'm in New Tork and we're at functions together, we always hang out. She's a really genuine girl. She's always been supportive on my mother, which is nice to see."

^ I was at the supermarket when I first saw this! This is actually how I found out that they were going to make Bianca gay!

Just watched these scenes again on SOAPnet. This story seems more ridic to me than the first time I saw it. LOL. Annie: "I'm Emma" "Daddy, what are you doing with the mean lady?"

I found two Christmas episodes on YouTube that I hadn't seen since they first aired:

1986

1987

Guess I'll be spending my Saturday night watching those Xmas episodes. Thanks for sharing, Steve.

LMFAO!! Tom's thighs, tho...
