Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 12, 2023 Members Share Posted July 12, 2023 Thanks for the info. I literally was just passing along what a poster said. I do not have a dog in this fight. I wish them well whatever their circumstances are. As for my being in denial or crazy or a troll, today would be a great day to question what you may have heard. Let's chillax & have an excellent Hump Day! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 12, 2023 Members Share Posted July 12, 2023 I do have what I think is a fun story about Lucci/Liza if you've enough patience with me to hear it. I enjoy challenging AI chat. I've found it doesn't know very much about soaps. I have to be careful because it sometimes says it's upset & can't talk any more today. Who knew AI has thin skin?!! Anyway, I posed the question: What soap & character did Susan Lucci's daughter play? I was going for Liza Huber, Gwen in PSSN. It said, Susan Lucci's daughter Liza Colby is played by Jamie Luner. Well, that knocked me back! It knew "Liza". It just got the wrong one! So, I gave it all the correct info & wished it to have a nice day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted July 13, 2023 Members Share Posted July 13, 2023 "For Pete's sake, I'd fall on a sword for you" is a reference to Palmer's real name (Pete Cooney) and Opal's long-lost son Adrian Sword. "Winner winner chicken dinner" is a reference to Opal's fried chicken recipe that was used at the Chicken Shack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 13, 2023 Members Share Posted July 13, 2023 I was too distracted by Mark's ill fitting clothes. That jacket was all bunched up and then those shapeless pants... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 13, 2023 Members Share Posted July 13, 2023 So, what about "as foxy as can be"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted July 13, 2023 Members Share Posted July 13, 2023 I assume that is a reference to Foxy's, the bar that Opal made Jenny work at when they lived in Center City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 14, 2023 Members Share Posted July 14, 2023 Jill is still such a jewel. She was wonderful in The Haunting of Deborah Logan. I don't want to know what she had to pitch to Andy on though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 14, 2023 Members Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Please register in order to view this content As a courtesy I am posting this here in the AMC discussion thread. SFT KATHY'S ABORTION In 1964 on "Another World" Pat Randolph had soap's first abortion, illegally. In 1970 New York state legalized abortion on demand without a residence requirement. In 1971 with Courtney Sherman Simon playing Kathy Parker & her future husband Peter Simon playing Scott Phillips "Search For Tomorrow" had soap's first legal abortion. On Jan. 22, 1973 the SCOTUS decision on Roe v. Wade made abortion on demand legal in the whole country. Sometime not long after that Erica on "All My Children" had a legal abortion. Earlier this year in my Facebook soap forum, SOAPS:THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE UGLY, we were discussing people not remembering that "Another World" had the first abortion. In the Young & the Restless" primetime event celebrating their anniversary of being on the air, it was said that Ashley Abbott had the first. She did not. Often it is said that Erica had the first without adding "legal" which is what makes it accurate. Just then a poster, Lance Jackson, added that no one ever seemed to remember it but Kathy on "Search For Tomorrow" actually had the first legal abortion in 1971. I began then to try to find out more about this. I messaged Courtney Sherman Simon who played Kathy with the basic query & she immediately affirmed that yes, she'd had an abortion & it was in 1971 & she guessed Procter & Gamble just wasn't as into putting that stuff out in the press as much as Agnes Nixon was. However, she also said she had nothing to prove it, not a script nor anything in print. One of the members of my forum team, DM James Fairbanks found a "Daytime TV" magazine ©1977 dedicated entirely to "Search for Tomorrow". On page 59 is the following paragraph. Without realizing it Scott and Kathy began to fall in love. Scott and Laurie separated and eventually divorced. But Kathy was liberated and didn't want children. Scott felt she would change her mind. On the day he proposed, Kathy told Scott she had an abortion the day before. Search For Tomorrow. (1977). Daytime TV Library Series No. 7. I typed up that page of storyline synopsis & asked a discussion thread devoted to "Search For Tomorrow" if they could date the events & someone immediately affirmed 1970-71. Donna L.

Members DemetriKane Posted July 15, 2023 Members Share Posted July 15, 2023 I love his love for Soap operas. Especially since he's crazy about my soap. The man knows his stuff. He should host a reunion or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted July 18, 2023 Members Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Nick Benedict (Phil, 1973-1978) has passed away. Edited July 18, 2023 by All My Shadows 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 18, 2023 Members Share Posted July 18, 2023 Sorry to hear of his passing. I guess his Y&R role is what he's more likely to be remembered for, given how impactful the story was in the long term. I have never seen his AMC work, but I remember various comments suggesting he wasn't the right fit for the role. Soap magazines at the time seemed much more interested in his up-and-down love life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
