All My Children Tribute Thread

Both Charlie and Hillary got rather humdrum exits during the strike, as if they were just going out of town for a week. They were both rather abrupt.

[DRW50]

That's strange about Charlie, as he was a prominent character at this time. I'd say the scab writers were wary of making waves but killing Jesse would suggest otherwise.

Thanks.

They did Hunter Tylo no favors with this hair color (or she did herself no favors). The scenes with Matt seem stilted, with bad dialogue ("it's not you, it's me"). They have no chemistry and he looks crazy-eyed.

Cecily is a lot of fun as a bitch. Her friend seems a little loopy. Julie is another one with awful hair and makeup.

Nina looks great in those crazy patterns and colors. I think it's the contrast to her hair and skin tone. I wish she'd worn this stuff more often. It's striking. Cliff "dies" on that plane, via plane crash, right?

I'm surprised that Myra was so happy for Palmer to marry Natalie. I guess that changed later on.

Joanna wasn't Skye's mother, was she?

Joanna's such a weird character. I wish they'd brought her back later on. I wonder if she will have any interaction with Stuart or Adam around this time.

Pretty much anything from 1987 and/or 1988... just really hard years it seems for finding material, much less full episodes.

As for the strike material, I believe they also held off some on Cindy's storyline.

Joanna was crazy, and not Skye's mother. She was married to Stuart for a time, but they were not romantic.

[DRW50]

Thanks. I wasn't 100% sure. I guess Skye's mother was dead before Skye came on the show.

Sometimes I wanted all these dead, manpain women who existed entirely offcamera, like Lottie, to rise from the dead and roam Pine Valley.

Given the Orpheus plotline, I'm half-surprised they didn't.

[EnglishTea]

I wanted Laura and JR and/or Colby and Jamie - either would work for me - to get together, have a baby girl, giving a grandchild to Brooke and Adam, and I wanted her named Charlotte after Lottie.

That would have been sweet.

Wasn't one of the dead babies given the name Charlotte at one point? Or am I making that up?

[AdelaideCate007]

Skye's mother was Althea. I don't think we ever saw her.

Krystal was going to name her baby Charlotte when she was letting Adam think he was the father.

[AdelaideCate007]

Carl- that definitely looks like Donna Murphy to me in that clip as well.

Thanks. I thought I remembered a Charlotte. Too bad the baby wasn't his - just another pointless child for Tad.

So that was Donna Murphy. I'm not totally losing it.

[SFK]

Skye's "mother" (pre-Rae retcon) was named Althea.

Charlotte was also the name of Mrs. Valentine's granddaughter (played by Tichina Arnold) and Anna and Alex Devane's "mother" (played by Samantha Eggar).

[DRW50]

I totally forgot about the Rae stuff. I think I'm going to keep doing that.

I forgot Charlotte was the Devane mother. I'm surprised she isn't on GH yet.

[ghfan89]

Mrs. Valentine's granddaughter was named Sharla, which does sound a lot like Charlotte.

[cassadine1991]

I don't think them character can since Charlotte is an AMC character

[SFK]

My bad, never saw it written out, I always heard it as "Charlotte".
