I could've sworn Mark Brettschneider (Jason) was the last addition to the Tour of Llanview opening. I've yet to see him though, I'm a few behind in '91. Always was baffled that he made it in but not Luna, but again maybe I imagined it.

I think OLTL dumps Robyn Griggs in the fall and then brings her back after Carlo's death in the spring to wrap the murder mystery, but don't quote me, I'm not sure.

It is hilarious seeing half the opening populated by already-fired people. It's also hilarious that it took me til this month to realize the reedy, weaselly guy up front in the opening is in fact the chameleonic Nicholas Walker as Max and not Jake's annoying friend Lucky or whoever. I'd spent years wondering 'why isn't NuMax in the opening?'

Thanks @Vee

I remember Robyn Griggs said at one point to SOD that ABC fired her but then had to legally bring her back ( Cannot remember why) but I saw Megan's funeral in 1992 and stephanie is there. Kevin is with LeAnn then. 

Brenda was at the party and she hasnt been on in months. 

So that was Luna Moody's entrance?

You can tell they were setting story up even before the parachuting-in of Luna and Malone's name being officially on the show - I don't know if he was involved in the material (I suspect so) but Megan is notably under the weather at Hunter and Andy's wedding in late August, Alex is kept on after her planned exit and the spectre of Sarah is raised all around the same time. In addition to Jason being added in early August, which I think is all Gottlieb.

For years I couldn't retain any of it after the first few words. The gag I had going for a long time was it would just run on like 'here's what you do when you go with to find what you know when you do what you give when you rainbow's end....don't cry!'

I'm glad someone confirmed the shot existed. It truly is bad, but of course all those old '80s photos with the sepia treatment look like everyone has jaundice and will soon die. Crazy they made time to add him but no one else (I think).

Some work (the shot of Laura Bonnarigo is lovely, and Joey Thrower is striking, although he looks nothing like his other self), but I would agree.

I think the reason you confused Lucky and Max is because Lucky's shot actually is similar to the second NW shot of Max. Until now I did not even realize they changed his shot. I wonder why they bothered.

Oh wait - they changed his shot TWICE.

I have no idea if someone was just bored or if his agent was down the line complaining...maybe it can be taken as some statement on those dying days of Rauch. I'll include the similar shot of Lucky (which is actually nicer than Walker's last shot).

This is some 1991 producer's version of what Dee did to Dennis on Always Sunny:
