February 27, 1979 Digest

I used to wonder whose dog that was. I think kids feel the need to rationalize such things. BTW, I always remembered it as a Doberman and clearly it is not. I guess I was thinking on the lines of Palmer and his Dobes.

A few pics (courtesy of Fiona Fest) of Max (Nicholas Walker) & Gabrielle's wedding, July 6th, 1990 :

The first one is from the cover of SOW.

So you liked both Maxs then?

[MissLlanviewPA]

The second one (from what I've seen of him) is alright, but of course I prefer JDP to the end (and will always be a bit bitter that NW got to act out their wedding ).

I mostly posted these just to add something new (well, old new) to the tribute .

What did you think of those torrid stable scenes between them when she still thought he was (whatever he went by when he was pretending not to be Max)?

[MissLlanviewPA]

They're definitely hot, but it IS kind of weird to think about those two together that way while she's thinking he's someone else (even if she, in some way, knew he was Max all along).

Knowing that the plastic surgery part of the story was eventually retconned when JDP came back makes things easier to handle, I guess.

It would've been GREAT, though, if after she came back in 2001, they had showed a flashback of their wedding, and the two of them could have commented on how different he looked back then .

Absolutely--when I watched AMC starting in '91 I used to wonder continuously whose mantel and photo album it was--and even with One Life to Live would try to imagine who was meant to be represented by all the random romance novel imagery in the satin sheets opening. But even as a smaller kid I wondered about the old AMC album (AMC used to air right after Canadian Sesame Stree on CBC--we were forbidden to watch soaps--but I'd catch as much as I could before mom would realize the tv was still on. She thought soaps would be too adult, and never watched them herself--except for a time she fondly remembers being hooked on Edge of Night both while pregnant and then home from work nursing my brother in the late 70s and then again 2 years later with myself and my twin sister--and she did eventually get hooked on AMC, and during the Gottlieb era OLTL because I watched my tapes every day after school).

I don't have very much of 1979 - Paul Raven has posted some 1979 recaps before, and hopefully those are still available.

Not totally sure on the dates, but I think this is from the 11-6-79 issue.

Never mind, not sure if that's the right one.
