Lynn Herring is so soft and quiet here, and it's such a good little scene. Later on Lucy was usually so hyperactive, you didn't get to hear what a sexy voice she had.

I don't ever miss Lucy, because I know what would happen if she came back, but part of me wishes we could have said goodbye.

Wow, I'd always managed to avoid the scene where Sonny shot Carly in the head. I can't believe this ever made it past any censor.

Even in edited form, it's still one of the most vile things I've ever seen on television.

I still don't even know why this was an idea anyone thought was a winner.

Love the stroll down memory lane of Bobbi Spencer and the behind the scenes pics from 1984. Thanks.

Thanks for reading. I always enjoyed those features where the actors would comment on their old stories.

GH is often remembered just for cheesy action in the 80's but they did have a solid cast. You don't really notice until you see them in a group setting.

Surprised that John Callahan photo got through...

Because if the possibility he might actually kill her? Sonny killing Carly and going to prison is a win/win situation. It's just a shame he wasn't a better shot.

Wow, Skye looks beautiful. Love the way she has her hair pulled back. Speaking of hair, Tracy's looks SO much better like that. Damn. Also, I loved how she talked to Jason: "Ice pick, ice! Cocktails! Skye...friend!"

I totally agree

ALL: Recasts who were quickly accepted by the audience

She did.

Same.

Let me add Alexia Havins's Lulu on GH, Mark Valley's Jack on DAYS I believe was quickly accepted, Nathan Fillon's Joey on OLTL if I'm not mistaken as well.

Good choices. I almost chose Carrington but thought the Kelly in between Robin Wright and Carrington might be seen as a buffer (similar to when Anne Heche joined AW after that short-lived Rhonda Vicky). I give Carrington a lot of credit as she really did manage to make Kelly her own and generate her own chemistry with Kelly's loved ones.

Speaking of Peter Bergman, and going way back, I think - surprisingly - Bergman's Y&R predecessor, Terry Lester, was quickly accepted as Mason Capwell on Santa Barbara. Ditto Lester's replacement, Gordon Thomson. I think it helped that Nancy Lee Grahn's Julia generated chemistry with all three Masons. At least, I don't recall much hate in the soap magazines back in the day, even if many would still agree that Lane Davies was still the quintessential Mason Capwell.
Speaking of SB, Jed Allan, Carrington Garland, and Robin Mattson all seemed to be embraced by the audience upon taking over the roles of C.C., Kelly, and Gina, respectively.

I'd never heard of her almost doing a show with Melanie Griffith. Hard to imagine Melanie on a sitcom.
Betty was also in the very short-lived second season of Bob, Bob Newhart's ill-fated early '90s sitcom.

I don't think so, because once Marland left, he was mostly front burner until he left the show the first time, in early 1984.
Nah, I think Marland just painted himself in a corner. He decided to go the redemption/happily married route for Alan and it diminished his usefulness on the canvas. Maybe he had a story planned to shake that up that didn't get a chance to happen. For instance, Rita hitting town with a kid, which would have blown up both Alan/Hope and Ed/Maureen.

That's a good choice, especially as he initially tried to emulate Terry but then slowly made the part his own.
I wonder if Jess Walton could go on the list too.

I'm not sure what they call those storms in the Mediterranean, but that's where the storm was. Mark and Amanda go there, and Mark is washed overboard and feared dead.
They had a very deadly storm in Spain last year that caused severe flooding inland, which you don't really think would happen.

Except he turned Jack into a wimp with all his crying all the time.

While I agree it's a bit of a head scratcher, and I'm sure the conclusion would've been different had Marland stayed, it gives Amanda and Vanessa something to sink their teeth into.
I wonder if it also wasn't a way to cut back Chris Bernau's workload. We don't know how his health was at the time.
