:lol: My dog shot up when Lulu started singing. That is pretty darn cute and I love the way she just goes right on back to sleep with a cat's head up her butt.

This was it for Erica and modeling, right? Or the catwalk incident was. How long after this was the catwalk?

You mean the scaffold, right? Because every time you runway model you're on a catwalk :lol:

Yeah, scaffolding. I'd forgotten that - I just remembered that she fell and damaged her back.

I've never seen the clip.

So it is. Does Dimitri catch her and her injuries are from the fall we didn't see, or does he not catch her?

It's actually pretty well done, although the music reminds me of a Chaka Kahn track from the early 80's (music is the way I live, I'm alive and living now), and Erica seems to be trying a booty pop at several points.

No her hand slips and she fell. That's kinda of why she "blamed" him. I believe the rest of that is somewhere on You Tube too. LOL

Thanks. I will have to look for the rest.

That was such a good story.

As cheesy and not all that realistic as it was for Erica to be a supermodel, Susan usually pulled it off.

For those of you who watched regularly in the 70s, was the show as fractured as the summaries make it sound? Seems like everyone, even members of the same family, was islanded in their story. In the Martin family, you had Jeff in the Chris-David-Edna abyss, Joe & Ruth looking for Ray Gardner, Tara caught up with Phil & Chuck, while the Tylers saw Ann, Chuck, and Linc involved in separate stories as well. Did these characters ever have any interaction besides, say, for the occasional throwaway recap-exposition scene? This type of fractured storytelling worked very well through the 80s, because the show became more about the town than the individual families. So, for example, you wouldn't need to have Phoebe involved in the Greg-Jenny story, or Palmer care about Jesse and Angie's baby plight. Not sure that would've worked as well in the 70s, when the show was essentially about two families and Erica. I think Chris Schmering in his book refers to 1970s AMC as "a good but flawed show" (before going into how magical the show would become in its golden age from the late 70s thru early 80s). I always wondered what he meant by that, and I wonder if this is what he meant.

I didn't watch, but I gathered from Schemering's book some hardcore traditional soap fans felt AMC off putting becase in the same bit between commercials you coul dhave a comic scene played broadly, a dramatic scene, etc--lots of different tones.

From reading All her Children which was written late 75 though the show and sense of community is something the author of it felt was best of all about AMC, and stood out compared to other soaps.
