Was Zach a Scientologist? 

I hope they weren't trying to make Erica look more like Alexis styling her hair like that.

I am sure that Skye originally sang at the Goal Post - not Panache.  Antoinette Byron played the role.   There seemed to be an attraction between Skye and Tom from the beginning, although I do not remember how long it was before they got together.

Tom had been beaten up by Adam's henchmen right before Adam's wedding to Erica (because Erica and Tom had a one-night stand on the eve of the wedding).

 

The Goal Post was a casual bar & restaurant, without a stage for anyone to perform on. Panache was a venue that didn't last long in PV, and there's limited info on it - it almost like a temporary recast for the burned-out-of-commission Chateau. But I even remember the moment Adam laid eyes on Skye Patterson when she was singing on a stage, he sitting, looking forward and up toward him... and we'd soon find out she was "Antoinette Chandler." 

 

There's a few AMC videos on YouTube with Antoinette Byron playing her - not too many scenes outside of ones with Tad. The way I remember it is that Tom needed a nightclub singer for Panache's debut, and that's how Skye was introduced (cue shock-moment with Adam in the audience and she singing TO him). At this point, Skye was not written as alcoholic.

 

After her failed attempt at landing Tad, then her losing Mitch to Hillary (now recast with Robin Christopher), then the storyline introducing Cindy, Skye had established a pattern of alcoholism - which reconnected her with recovered alcoholic Tom, first as constructive support, and then into romance.

 

As for Tom's one-nighter with Erica, that was about two years prior to Skye arriving in PV. He was married to Brooke, who was pregnant with Laura at that time.

''Good Catholic'' Tom goes postal on Erica for taking birth control pills, but it's alright to cheat on your pregnant wife with your wife's main rival.  I hope he went to confession the next day.  As for Erica, she didn't give a crap.  LOL

Yeah, it seemed out of left field, considering that Erica was in love with Mike and about to marry Adam. But they were both drunk, and this was a beat in Tom's own battle with alcoholism.

Thanks so much for posting this episode. Not only was it great watching Melissa Leo and so many others, but the cast crawl had several actor's names I've been looking for for years! 

Did Richard Shoberg choose to leave AMC or was he let go? I ask because his Tom had been on the show for so long.

I think he was let go.

Thanks. That's a shame. He could have been a tentpole character for years to come.

Mr. Shoberg was dropped from the regular cast.   It was said that he would then be a recurring character, but I think he only was on once or twice after that.

 

He should have been moved to One Life to Live at the time (or after) Robin Christopher continued her role as Skye on One Life to Live.   He would have been an excellent confidant for her - trying unsuccessfully to talk her out of the things she was doing.   He could have also been a former player on Asa Buchanan's football team (the Llanview Cougars) and an ex-teammate of Alex Lownes.

 

 

@danfling, you should have been a soap writer. 😊

Ok Amy Steel played Peggy Warner in 1980 was that the same character of Linda Warner, just renamed??

No, Cliff had a few sisters. I believe Peggy was just around for the wedding.

Apparently Cliff's parents were at the wedding of Cliff and Nina in 1980. I wonder who appeared in the roles.

“Jane?? Who’s Jane??”

 

 

OMG: Jamie Lunar...gross drugged 17 year old actor on Melrose Place and did nasty things.
