She definitely wasn't the original Dr. Tolan.  Ceara was seeing her in 1991 to deal with her father raping her as a child; it was a different actress.  I liked her.


Anyway,  I cannot FATHOM how Kate Collins was never even NOMINATED for an Emmy.   But, then again, someone made a good point that they didn't want her competing for votes w/ Susan Lucci.  She should have at least been nominated for the Ross rape/Silver Kane story and definitely Natalie/Janet.

Susan has posted on her Instagram account that Mark La Mura (Mark Dalton) has died. I'm not seeing it anywhere else, but her post is pretty recent (45 minutes ago), so I would assume we'll see more tomorrow. I'm very saddened by this - Mark, to me, embodied a lot of what made AMC such a fun, lively, and successful soap in the late 70s and early 80s, and of course, there were the more dramatic storylines written for the character later on. I'm very thankful Megan McTavish brought the character and actor back several times in her last stint.

This makes me so sad.  I fell into a brief melancholy period of AMC/OLTL nostalgia last week.  I tried to add screenshots of Susan's IG post but SON says the file's too large.

 

He was so young.  And such a handsome man.  I loved how he really looked he could be Susan's brother and Albert Stratton's son.

I've been pretty steadily making my way through HamiltonBernique's uploads, all of which are new to me, so my AMC urges are satisfied regularly. I've gone through some pretty big life changes recently, so being able to get back into AMC and discover some of its best years has been an invaluable coping tool. I love, love, love our show, man. I'll be 80 years old, and they'll still be on my mind.

I think I established a few years ago that I truly believe Mark to be AMC's most attractive male star, period. He and SuLu were just SO gorgeous together, and yes, they matched each other so well as siblings. I would give my left leg to fully watch their heyday as PV's hot youngsters in the late 70s. Those pics from the disco say it all.

He was a stunning guy - his eyes and smile and chiseled features, and the rest, as we know from After Dark. He was also a good actor. I'm sorry that the show never did more with him in later years. 

 

I think that Erica and Mark were two of the only "oops they're siblings" characters to actually bond as siblings. Most of the time one would be written out soon after (Marie on DAYS, Lorie's brother Mark on Y&R, et al).

I think the work they did with Erica and Mark really stemmed from the fact that Erica needed someone other than Mona in her life to bounce her quirks off of and also a male figure who wasn't a potential love interest, a "guy" for her to be close to without the inevitable paring up. It's usually a pet peeve of mine when they write a long-lost sibling in as if they'd always been around, but it just made sense and worked with Mark.

The best thing they could have done for Mark that they didn't do was make Josh his son.

I tend to wonder how much was down to how different he was to most men on AMC up to that point, especially those in Natalie's life. I sometimes wonder if it was also a tacit admission to how much of Natalie's personality they had seeped away over the years.

IDK what it is, but I find him horrible. Why did they stick poor Natalie with him? 

 

I can't fathom him with his constant judging, his righteousness, the way he always finds a way to butt into people's business...

 

I don't know if it is me, but he remind me of Ryan in the last 10 years of the show. Maybe Trevor was the prototype.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      So there we have Lily and Damian in the same clothes, so the same day having 2  meet ups in different venues. Just about sums up the show and I'm sure there was a lot of talk about business. And they make NO effort to cover up that CL has no customers. I would feel uncomfortable sitting in an empty space. And anyone who wants to defend that set after looking at those pics, go ahead. Sharon must be losing a fortune on that place, maybe that's why she's decided against an update. For some reason,CL loses out on having extras.At least the other venues might have 4 or so people milling around.

      Yes a mark on the fridge from him cleaning is essentially leading to a break up. I don’t even like Derek but Ashley is an ass.hole.

      I read somewhere that Prior to Estelle's Return the character was played on flashbacks by Linda Cook, is it true? I have no idea where to look to see if that's true PS: love Linda Cook but Domini Blythe was a find as Estelle Kendall, loving her!

      TPTB are dragging out the Alexander Dumas reveal way to long.  We really aren't any closer to knowing who he is than we were months ago when his name was first mentioned,  I really don't mind a lengthy soap opera plot, in fact I kind of prefer them.  But this is crazy.  Give us some hints, give us some red herrings, give us some cryptic evidence.  And for God's sake, show us who he is.  And it BETTER be good...   But knowing this head writer, I doubt the reveal will be anything exciting.  Just another outside force coming into town to cause trouble.   I hope I'm wrong.

      The only Camden kid I liked was Mary... and I don't know if Jessica Biel would want to go back to playing that character or not.

      I've been liking the writing for them lately. Positioning them, and Johnny/Chanel as the two main, frontburner couples was a really good idea.

      I've never cared for Xander, and I find him and Sarah so boring together.

      I think in some ways the story could have been stronger because Wendy and Stephanie had a more nuanced mother-daughter relationship and Lisa Peluso could act, but I don't really think Louise worked as Stephanie, so the impact wouldn't have been the same.  That would be a better way to bring drama than another serial killer story. And Sarah probably would have snapped and Jo would have been held hostage again... As someone said above, I do wonder why Philip Brown didn't last longer. Then again, I'm not sure why Kevin Conroy didn't last longer either.

The gambling set, gambling story hate and bored with a passion. Dani and Andre in bed every five seconds.....yawn! Diego the fitness guy....yawn!! Today's show, minus Kat, Eva, and Jacob/Leslie sprinkled in, was very boring!
