Yes i'm quite sure he did because he was a cowboy at heart. Erika actualy liked it to because unlike Viki and NIki, she was able to create Ginny herself. The only thing she didn't like was the carriaeg ride because it was too bumpy LOL

I also kind of liked the soap opera awards they did on the show with Megan. "hears to the shows!"

I love the theme from the early 80s.

I loved so many, but two that always stand out for me are Eterna and the two Bos. Eterna gets a bad rap, but it is straight up, unashamed, movie serial shenanigans from start to finish. The Two Bos featured the wonderful Lois Kibbee as evil Elizabeth Sanders and a death trap I loved: all the Buchanan men trapped in a room with sliding doors and walls sealing them in as poison gas gets pumped in to kill them.

November 1971 TV by Day. One of those rare Joanne Dorian sightings. I wonder if this is the last time she was in a soap magazine (by this time Erika Slezak was in the role). I never knew she was involved with Terry Kiser. That part about being happy to be away from NYC's "grime" makes me laugh. Rarely do I see something quite so blatant.

Sorry but i just can't see Christine Jones as Viki. I saw her in the episode they put up but she's just not cut out to be Viki. Gillian Spencer (from what i read) and Erika slezak (from what i've studied every day for many years) both played Viki as a reserved upper crust woman. grew up in the very glossy proper venere of Lord family. Christine was just too "normal" even drugged. LOL

Apparently Joanne was fired rather abruptly, and when Erika Slezak was hired in March 1971, it was a great shock to the other actors. I met Joanne a year ago, she is still quite lovely. I can never forgive JFP for destroying whatever hope I had left of a possible Clint/Viki reunion- she forced not only Clint Ritchie off, but Robin Strasser too! Of course, Robin came back after Jill left. Clint & Viki was my favorite OLTL couple, and I quit watching when the idiot writers had Viki turn down Clint's proposal and he married Lindsay (yecch!) on the rebound! That was in 1997. I could never accept the idea of another actor (even a good actor like Jerry verDorn, who I liked on GL) as Clint, and was dismayed that they had his Clint inexplicably become an Asa clone- that completely flew against the entire history of the character! The Clint I remember was a strong yet sensitive man- he actually ran away fro home as a teenager because he didn't want to be like his father! Clint Ritchie let it be known he did not like playing the 'bad guy' in the Billy Douglas/Sloan Carpenter story. Yes, he could be difficult on the set, but he had a deep respect for Erika Slezak, and it showed in their scenes.

      The most we ever saw was on the "Roger years" tape.

      Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.

      Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.

      I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

      I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.

      omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

      There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.

      Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
