That’s Paul Dumont. It’s hard to find much information about him online, but his Linc reminds me of what Peter White’s Linc would be, in mannerisms and presence at least. 

Paul Dumont bombed in his 2 soap roles.

He was also Chris Delon on SFT, Jo's new love interest after the death of Tony Vincente. But he and Mary Stuart didn't get along apparently and Chris was hastily written off.

At 92nd St Y, Kelly Ripa marveled the same - she said Susan had chemistry with a doorknob !

I would imagine Kelly can figure out who in any given room to suck up to in 60 seconds flat. Then, of course, she's quite good at being self-deprecating and humorous at the same time. She is one smart cookie.

I still argue that Jack Scalia and Susan Lucci had chemistry in spades but that Chris Stamp was just too ill-conceived to work.

Not sure if these have been posted here, and I hope it’s safe to share them, but two original broadcasts from 1970 are on YT. I’m pretty sure we’ve never had any full episodes of AMC on ABC from the 70s at all - just stuff from Daytime to Remember, SoapNet marathons, and Agnes’s website.

 

Thank you!

@All My ShadowsThanks so much for the 1970 AMCs!! I marveled at Rosemary Prinz! Never saw her that early. 

Erica overreacting to seeing the word bilirubin written on her blood results paper... Has made me nearly fall off the sofa from laughter.

This woman is comedy gold. 

"What is it? Tell me! You are hiding something from me! What is this bilirubin? What is it?"

I am putting this in my favorite soap opera moments of all time.

P.S I'm well into February 1988 now!

I can't with this woman! 

   

 

Erica and Travis!  She's pregnant with Bianca!  

I loved Erica and Travis together.

This interview is a year old but I just stumbled upon it. Susan Lucci interview on Alex Baldwin’s podcast.

So did I, @janea4old, so did I, lol.

I also loved how Susan Lucci's hair looked during that period.  Talk about gorgeous!

I can only imagine what type of mother Erica would be. I am getting scared just by the thought of it. 😂 Now that's a childhood that would probably be worse than mine.

I'm at February 5th 1988. Last night I binged episodes till 7 in the morning. I couldn't stop watching. Addicted.  

Before 'Black Panther', Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan‘s paths almost crossed in 'All My Children'.

'All My Children' casting director Judy Blye Wilson recently recalled hiring Jordan to play Reggie Montgomery on the ABC soap opera back in 2003 after Boseman was fired… pic.twitter.com/L3oWtrubBP

Erica in early 1988 was peak form.  She was dramatic, but was still being written with layers so she wasn't a cartoon character.

@MaximI'll be interested to hear your thoughts on 1988 once the writer strike episodes come into play.  I believe those episodes start in late March/early April and span about five months or so.

@KhanI think Erica/Travis are badly damaged as a couple starting with the strike era episodes.

I'll be here to share it with you guys! I have paused a little bit, since I basically watched nearly an entire month of 40 minute episodes in just a few days (thank God I'm having a break from work). But tonight I'm continuing. I can't wait for Erica to give birth. I will feel like I'm giving birth from so much anticipation of this babey!
