They did.  It was either Bruce Thomas, or Bruce Altman.  I forget which.

It was Bruce Thomas for a short time.

Thanks, @slick jones.  I had pretty much bowed out of watching AMC on a regular basis by that point, so I wasn't sure.

If you're talking Cady...it makes sense because without Tad on the show, the show had to write for her.

 

She got to play a mother's guilt, forgiving Billy Clyde Tuggle (great scene), and she had chemistry with that doctor that had a secret from the past.

 

And it felt so good. She was very viable without him imo. She got a career too!

Wasn't Bruce Thomas also briefly on another soap before being fired? Was it Y&R?

 

Sabatino was incredibly charming, even if he was also a bit smarmy, which meant he often ended up as a baddie. Still, I'm not sure why they went from having him as roguish and dark but not a monster, to being such a cartoon. Just one of many questionable decisions the show made in 1996.

I was only 12 at the time, but I remember having a huge crush on Dr. Kinder 😂.  While I thought the storyline of Kinder and Erica/Skye/Janet was wildly entertaining and campy, I never thought he could recover from it to become a Hayward-type.

I love Erica's scenes here at the start of her "return to modeling" storyline.  I remember Agnes Nixon was quoted saying she always intended for Erica to return to modeling.  I wish this return had lasted a bit longer before Erica was injured and turned to painkillers.

 

 

 

I'll never forget first finding soap message boards and having everyone refer to Erica as the world' oldest shortest supermodel lol god love her. There wasn't anything SL didn't fully commit to.

Hello!  She is Erica Kane!  And, compared to her, we are all filthy beasts!

So as a young, impressionable man, I always thought Tad/Dixie were THE couple.  I was inspired to find that same love.  Tad was charismatic, Dixie was cute and vulnerable.  They'll always be my #1.  Growing up, I had this very vivid memory of watching Tad and Dixie dancing very provocatively to Michael Bolton's "When a Man Loves a Woman" with my mom one night just before bed - and I've always had in my mind it was Tad and Dixie.  Well, a friend came over and played this song tonight and I decided to Google this clip to see if it was online or not.  I haven't seen it since it aired in 1990-something.  Come to find out, it's online and it wasn't Dixie and Tad.  It was Dixie and Craig!!!  Which, honestly, I loved Dixie and Craig too - they were hot too and I was so sad for Dixie when Tad was blown off that bridge, that I wanted her to find true love.  She was NOT thinking about Tad that night.  Well come to find out, my memory was wrong all along and it was Craig instead of Tad, but this scene on AMC is still truly one of the hottest, most memorable and impressionable scenes as a young man growing up.  Sexier than any Hayley/Mateo beach romp scene that I also loved:

OH MY STARS! YES!!!!!! I remember this scene!  It is soft core porn.  Dixie was all horny for Mr. Craig Lawson.  Look how she wrapped her legs around him.  Her vajayjay needed some attention.  Little did she know that Craig was a man whore getting some Gloria vajayjay on the side.

Sad news to report. Ben Jorgensen who played Kevin Sheffield on All My Children has past away at 51 years old. My understanding is it was suicide. I have heard he suffered from Bipolar disorder but as I have not spoke to him in years I do not know all the details. I just want to remember the good times we had on the set of All My Children 24 years ago. He was a good guy and had the courage to play a gay teenager on tv back when it was nowhere near as common to have representation as it is today. He was part of an award winning storyline...but mostly we just had some good times back then...my condolences go out to his friends and family. Please everybody hang in there and reach out for help if you need it. #Actor #Filmmaker #BenJorgensen #BenMonk #Life#Death#AllMyChildren #Suicide #sad #rest

I'm so sorry to hear that. 🙏😢💔

Sad news!

Very sad to see this - prayers to his family and friends!

Sad news. The Kevin coming out and reparative therapy stories were very memorable - the latter was extremely daring for soaps, and quite powerful. Jorgensen played the role with tenderness and caring. Kevin meant a lot to me, and as a gay teen myself I appreciated his existence. I hope Ben is at peace.
