She did. It was only the next morning that she found out the truth. But yes, they did start seeing each other in secret afterwards, and there's a funny scene where Kevin overhears David proposing to Tina while thinking they're still related .

Oh wow, thanks. That is a stretch, though Tina was going to marry her cousin Richard in 86.

[Dale]

Actually, after weeks of flirting and heavy breathing, David and Tina were about to do the deed, and Tina said, "I don't care if you ARE my brother" and David finally confessed, "I'm not", and the two made love.

I remember squirming the entire time the two shared screen time before that - Tina was actually willing to and wanted to have sex with her brother!

Contrary to other opinions, I think Tesreau did well with what she was asked to play. During her incarnation of the character, everybody in Llanview referred to Tina as stupid, an airhead clueless, etc. She played what was written - Dumb Tina. Prior to KT, Tina was always written as a liar and schemer, but she was not stupid

[cassadine1991]

Were they trying to write KT like a variation of Mindy Lewis?

[John]

well Then EP Susie Hogan was at GL when MT was Mindy & gave her Tina without an audition so I wouldnt be shocked if that was the case

[SFK]

I don't know enough about Mindy to agree or disagree with that, but it seemed to me that they were just writing their "idea" of Tina. AE has an airy quality, her breath, her voice, her presence, she's like a tethered helium balloon, and that overall quality can read "ditzy" even when her thoughts and actions are well-grounded. I think the writers wrote into this quality and subsequent actresses played it. I never saw Tina as dumb, just as someone who made one bad decision after another. I think I still have it on tape, but there was a good episode where KT Tina goes over to Dorian's apartment where KD Blair is staying and calls her out for scheming to marry Todd and get her hands on his millions as Blair is pretending not to know that he's the true Lord heir. Tina says, "And they say I play dumb." She's very astute and on top of the situation, and particularly was when it came to her money. She let men distract her and that's when she got messy and did more damage than she would have on her own. But there was certainly something tougher about KT Tina in terms of voice and demeanor.

Ryan Phillipe is on the Talk today and Sheryl Underwood mentioned his time on OLTL. He's talking about all the fan mail he'd get about playing the character and what an impact it had

[DRW50]

Mindy always had a lot of heart even when written as a schemer or villain. She wasn't just an idiot.

[MissLlanviewPA]

Back before he became the king of paternity tests, Maury had on a few child actors, including 6 year old Hayden Panettiere, while she was still on OLTL (her clips on the show were edited out here, though). He is completely enthralled with her here.

That's from a channel dedicated to clips of interviews of young child actresses. They always edit out the clips; not sure why.

[Goldensoaps]

Does anyone remember when Jennifer Harmon appeared in OLTL as Cathy Craig?? Was it when she came back to town without Kevin who previously she had kidnapped?

[saynotoursoap]

Yes, I remember, and no, Jennifer Harmon assumed the role of Cathy before Cathy kidnapped Kevin.

[danfling]

She was the final actress cast in the role of Cathy. Cathy's last storyline was her engagement to Dr. Larry Woleck.
