This episode has so many funny and moving scenes with Erica, Mark, and Mona. By the time I started watching AMC, in the mid-90s, even though she had Myrtle and sometimes Dimitri (or Jack), Erica often seemed so alone. Here, at least she had a family.

Such beautiful work from the woman who played Elizabeth.

I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this, but I thought it was cool. Lester Bangs, the music writer/editor for Creem and Rolling Stone that Philip Seymour Hoffman portrayed in Almost Famous, was a huge AMC fan:

Concerning the friendship of Donna and Jackson, I don't know exactly how the friendship began. There was also an episode in which, for some reason, Travis and Donna were somewhere outside Pine Valley. Donna decided that she was ready to return to Pine Valley, and Travis was also leaving. He offered her a ride in his car, and the car broke down. Donna and Travis felt something, and Donna told him that things like this did not happen to her, only to other women such as Erica.

After the return to town, I don't think that anything else was mentioned. Actress Candice Early said that everytime the show got a new producer that the producer would say that they were anxious to use Ms. Early and were determined to give her some good storylines. I think that the above was an attempt to do that.

Will Cooney and Julie Rand Chandler were actually related, not just related through marriage.

Will was the nephew of Palmer Courtlandt.

Julie was the biological daughter of Ross Chandler and Elizabeth Carlisle. Since Ross was the biological son of Palmer, Julie was Palmer's granddaughter.

So, Julie's father and Will were first cousins, making them first cousins one removed.

Some footage here of some celebration for Hunter and Michael Tylo, circa 1987 or 1988. Guests include Susan Lucci, Ruth Warrick, Kathleen Noone, Carmen Thomas, Julia Barr, Lauren Holly, Robin Christopher, etc. I think I see Silver #1 in there too. (real Silver #1)

Thanks! It's a work in progress - we have a collection of magazines from the 70s and 80s, and we are in the process of scanning those to include share on the site, and there's another related AMC history project we hope to do as well. Some friends and I had talked about doing a site for Erica and AMC for a long time, and I wish we'd done it years ago, but oh well.

    • Major flaw! And that's why I said Dani would've been better of an screwed up kid (black sheep). Nicole got an award because she's doing important work. Depression is real, Mental illness is real. People are homeless and committing suicide in jails because they lack proper help. Yes, she modeled, but I mean, even Tyra pivoted into acting, talk shows, her own company, managing other models, etc.
    • 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.
