Nico & Cecily were a popular couple. Definitely not as huge as a Angie & Jesse or Jenny & Greg, but still popular.

BTW, why did they divorce? I can't remember.

Off camera, Nico had supposedly cheated on Cecily.

Thanks.

Why the hell wouldn't she ask for alimony from a cheater? God, they totally ruined her. ha!

Did Rosa Nevin piss someone off or something?

They also ruined Nico by making him an off-screen cheater.

They should've just said Nico died and Cecily wanted to return to Pine Valley to be with family (Phoebe) and old friends (Tad, Dixie).

Or never brought her back in the first place.

LOL.

Well, I really like her from the '80s clips I've watched. I think she could have been an asset in the '90s with proper writing. Like, I'd rather have a well-written Cecily (ties to Phoebe, ect.) than, say, someone like Laurel.

I don't know, Pine Charles. I think there was a place both for Cecily and for Laurel, especially after what the latter became. IMO, if anyone was not essential to ALL MY CHILDREN at that time, it was Janet. I don't care if she was being played by Robin Mattson. Beverlee McKinsey could have played Janet, and I'd still question making Janet from Another Planet a permanent fixture in Pine Valley.

YES. The idea that Trevor would fall in love with Natalie's evil sister who nearly killed her and then marry her was just ridiculous to me. I love Robin Mattson, and I loved her as Janet, but she should have been a totally new character. Honestly, I never liked Trevor, and I thought it was a damn shame Kate Collins was dropped to keep Trevor and his obnoxious accent on camera. If anything, Trevor and Tim should have left town when Natalie died.

Yeah, no if Kate was willing to stay, James should have been the one let go since they couldn't get along. It still shocks me to this day the amount of fanmail he got. I never found Trevor all that interesting or appealing as a character. He was quite obnoxious most of the time. I always rooted for Janet against him. Natalie at that point had many more ties to the canvas and Kate is such a wonderful actress. Natalie should have been a permanent fixture.

Found the clip of Phoebe asking her to get alimony on youtube at about 17 minutes in

I loved that scene with Phoebe

Sidenote, I forgot how annoying Corvina was lol.

Thanks for posting that clip.

Go Phoebe! Loves!

It was dumb of Cecily not to ask for alimony.

I loved her in the '80s clips, though. Sad.

Speaking of Trevor "Fred Flintstone" Dillon - I liked him w/ Nat back in the day, but had no use for him after Kate Collins left. If I had to choose between James Kiberd and Kate Collins, I'd no doubt choose Kate.

That said, IRL Kiberd seems like a nice guy (from the clips I've watched) and apparently Kate and he have buried the hatchet (given she talked nicely of him in her SoapCentral interview).

Had they buried it prior to her return in 2005? Because I was always under the impression she said she'd only return if James was not involved and that's why we ended up with Trevor( tacky tie and all) in the freezer....

Damn. Watched more of the episode ghfan89 posted.......

Forgot how HOT Anton was (skip to 33:14). hehe

I have no clue. I also was under that impression and was very much surprised when she spoke highly of James in her podcast interview.

The interview was in November (2012).

I liked Trevor at the time I started watching. He was a hothead but I thought he was likeable and had good chemistry with most people. I also thought Kiberd knew how to tone it down and never just blew up through all his scenes, like Justin Deas did a lot on GL around the same time.

I started watching when he was married to Laurel. I never understood the point of her character.

I think there was a place for Janet, a damaged woman redeeming herself. The relationship with Trevor was very questionable, but again, good writing would have made it work.

I need to find that interview! Is it posted on their website?
