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

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! laugh.png 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 will admit to not liking John Bolger in the role of Phillip, but on rewatch, he has a really nice friend chemistry with Michael and Krista. And I think it's the only period of time where Phillip hasn't pulled Rick into some stupid scheme that ends up hurting the friendship.

      You're right about everything! The casino needs to go and it's ugly! The ugliest set on BTG.

      Jayne Bentzen is the actress who played Nicole at that point. She joined Edge the year before, replacing Maeve McGuire.

      Wait.....Anita is an EGOT, Vernon was an important Senator, and Dani was an international model (no matter how brief, although I thought she said she was on par with Tyra Banks(or someone)...meanwhile, Nicole's some nice psychologist/psychiatrist with an award on her wall...but Dani's hasn't added to the Dupree mystique?  I don't think the writers considered ever having any Dupree be less than utterly fabulously successful  and that's actually flaw in the structure of the show.  Oh, I forgot to say...Smitty acts like she stumbled into Vanessa's Only Fans account and paid for a picture of her dirty undies before realizing it was her.

      I watched another batch of episodes and I have a sense of dread. I fear they are setting up a murder storyline with one of my favorite characters as the victim. I don't know if that would be considered a spoiler so won't reveal the character. If that's so, i will be extremely disappointed as this person has done Emmy caliber work and would create such a void on the show.  If I'm right, I think I know who the suspect will be and I would rather the suspect be murdered.  Joel Crothers's Miles has had more of a presence with his wife Nicole and I enjoy both actors. Crothers is just so yummy and charismatic. Don't know who plays Nicole but I like their relationship.  Ann Williams has been phenomenal as Margo. Margo is desperate to keep Eliot and make April happy. Williams had a nice scene with Kibbee's Geraldine about Logan and the baby. Eliot has been so slimy and menacing but he's so watchable. April and Draper are still fighting over the baby and something has happened to April to land her in the hospital. I just keep hoping she'll kick Draper out. The man is such a pain. Raven needs to come back and sleep with him. She can liven him up. Ann Flood and Frances Fisher had a wonderfully written scene where Deborah confesses her feelings for Owen. The writing and acting for this scene was first-rate. I want more of Flood. It's good to see Fisher getting more to do. Steve and his low cut shirts have been sidelined lately. The writers are setting up a Deborah/Nola confrontation.  Paige and Brian are still pretty much an afterthought. The movie plot is coming along nicely and there was a great episode where Margo had a party for the movie at her penthouse. Still enjoying the show.

      See, I imagine it as some kind of "private" room within a bigger casino.

      I like Nicole for several reasons, she has all the good attributes and qualities of a good person. You have to be a huge hater to dislike someone like her. I consider Dani an underdog. She had a lot to live up to and she hasn't contributed to the family name imo. Naomi and Martin seem to had more flourishing careers than she has.  She might've had a long marriage, but Bill cheated on her left and right. I am sure they had some good times, but I wouldn't call it a great marriage or anything to brag about. She modeled for what 2/3 years? That's not that successful, especially if she didn't pivot to something more lucrative. And that is the real reason she plays momanger cause she is living through Chelsea. Dani is nothing without her family name. Nicole doesn't need the Dupree; she made her own mark! And that's what you should do when you're born with privilege, flip that [!@#$%^&*]! The opportunity is there for the writers to play up her insecurities and resentment issues, but will they? There must've been a reason for her to choose Bill over someone with more status, or coming from another wealthy family. Right?  I don't expect everyone to understand her, but I do, and probably would've made her a more screw up and didn't amount to much outside having some kids.  The lack of crossover from the in-laws always bothered me, too. I hope at some point we get some family dinners. I know it's not earth-shattering entertainment, but I'm a sucker for those scenes. And you can still move the story along, too! I forgot all about my boo Jacob, and he was on today. He, for some reason, reminds me of Garfield the cat!

      You're right about that hetero bio son Dupree, though.

      The casino set needs to be upgraded or needs to go. Why would anyone rich spend their time in the wood paneled 1960’s room instead of just playing cards in what I assume is the normal nice looking casino area.
