@soapfave06 It's been a while, but I believe in an early story bible for All My Children Phil was accused of killing Nick, who I don't think he knew was his father yet. I could be very wrong, as I read the bible years ago, and All My Children is not really a show I am super interested in so I probably didn't pay much attention.
I've been watching the November, 1991, episodes being posted this evening. Wonderful. I love this period of Loving. Fran Sears and Mary Ryan Munisteri were really giving the show a very distinct vibe with the introduction of the Tides, the bowling alley, Giff's art studio (which is definitely a recycled set), and the radio station. Giff talks with Dinahlee early in those clips about his three sons (a hockey player, a musician, and a 12 year old who wants to be a Marine). The Giff / Gwyn banter is awesome. Richard Cox is one of Tudor Newman's better male leads. It's a shame that Walsh decides to axe the pairing.
Some of this I haven't seen in a while so I am making more connections with Ryan Munisteri's work on Tribes. They were definitely building a music storyline with Matt and Giff's (unnamed) son with the radio station being pulled into it.
I know I've talked about it a lot, but the Matt Ford / Ceara Connor stuff is really well done. There are scenes at her office where Matt is putting up shelves to make some extra money and you have Matt recounting the issues with his stepfather. Ceara says Matt shouldn't feel shame for his stepfather's actions and you just want Ceara to accept that for herself. Jeremy is much more charming in 1991 visits and works as a faux romantic rival for Trisha's affections. I love the animosity between Giff and Ceara and the friendship between Giff and Dinahlee. Giff is big on the "we listen, we don't judge" train years before it was a thing. I miss this more colorful, offbeat artist version of Giff who quickly loses favor (and his flavor) when Walsh arrives.
There's a really nice scene with Stacey and her mother where Rose warns Stacey that she is overthinking the Dinahlee stuff. Teri Keane looks very vibrant in her suit and well made up. I wish they had kept her around as well as Ed Bryce as Patrick. I think the slow burn tension between Dinahlee and Trucker while Stacey thinks Jack is eyeing up Dinahlee is fun. Lauren Marie Taylor plays it well trying not to fall too far into her paranoia, but still worried that she might not be enough for Jack. There is some later moments where Stacey is hosting the reception for Jeremy Hunter at the Alden mansion (where her and Jack have lived since they inherited the house after Cabot's death) and Taylor plays the insecurity of being the lady for the manor. It's probably the best material Cass and Taylor get as Jack and Stacey before Jack is written out.
I know there are new uploads popping up and I think Celeste Holms' Isabelle should be appearing soon if the material stays in 1991.
