Members Vee Posted December 4, 2023 Members Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Not really, no. Tad was supposedly constantly away on various P.I. investigations, straining his marriage to Dixie who the show began testing with the widowed Dr. Anders. But Tad has a voice cameo in the season finale as Jesse calls him to come home and help with a situation - I think hunting down Cassandra's Russian traffickers - and says 'I'm on my way' or something, which I think is the last line of the series. I believe Tad appears in shadow onscreen in that sequence while on the phone, but it's anyone's guess if that was MEK.

Members Jonathan Posted December 5, 2023 Members Share Posted December 5, 2023 Thanks for the reminder. I wonder if the show pulled MEK's audio from an old episode or if that was a fresh voiceover. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 5, 2023 Members Share Posted December 5, 2023 I'm pretty sure it was real. I doubt even PP at their wildest would've teased Tad's return if they hadn't secured some agreement from MEK to return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted December 13, 2023 Members Share Posted December 13, 2023 @chrisml On the subject of actors not remembering, Susan Lucci said that Tom Cudahey was Erica's first husband when she was interviewed about her lifetime achievement award the other day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wilsoky Posted December 16, 2023 Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 SL does that a lot. On the Hallmark reunion show, she said that Agnes Nixon created Ryan's Hope. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted December 16, 2023 Members Share Posted December 16, 2023 Yeah, I was dreading Tad possibly coming back had the PP version of AMC continued because his character was played out and it was nice to see Dixie as a character again on her own without Tad around to overshadow her. I had a feeling had Tad come back that Dixie would have been relegated to his arm piece instead of a character in her own right with loads of potential (dealing with Billy Clyde Tuggle's return, being supportive to JR, and a potential new love interest that she had chemistry with). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 23, 2023 Members Share Posted December 23, 2023 All My Children (December 21, 1989) : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive For anyone who wants to see more of the infamous return of Erica's father, that storyline takes up part of this episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 23, 2023 Members Share Posted December 23, 2023 I thought the Anders character was interesting but a bit arch and cartoonish in how they presented his overly anal, buttoned-down persona with the dead wife thing lurking in the background. More time spent on him would hopefully have changed that. I also wanted to see Dixie branch out, but they couldn't so easily cast off Tad either given everything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted December 24, 2023 Members Share Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) I've been re-watching 1980s episodes and can't help but feel disappointed that Mark Dalton's character didn't stick around after 1989. It would have been beneficial for Erica to have another non-child relative. Mark LaMura's performance was truly impressive.

Members j swift Posted December 24, 2023 Members Share Posted December 24, 2023 We also wouldn't have needed multiple engineered children for Erica if Mark's potential kids could have played the same role more organically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 26, 2023 Members Share Posted December 26, 2023 Popping in to say, as I do from time to time, that Josh should have been Mark’s son from a drug-fueled one-night stand. Would have given us a reason to see Mark more regularly at the time and made Josh loads more interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted December 28, 2023 Members Share Posted December 28, 2023 I found this 10 year old article about Megan McTavish writing an adaptation of "A Midsummer's Night Dream" to benefit the local historical society. The quote about making "massive cuts" to Shakespeare's work made me laugh. https://www.ctinsider.com/entertainment/article/Dream-on-the-Green-to-be-Presented-Sunday-in-16895854.php 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
