I remember reading somewhere that they were going to pair Richard with Casse but Ava Haddad decided to leave. Now that I think about it, they could have paired him with Lisa Baron though.

Was Lisa Baron the black woman who dated Josh Hall or Bobby Blue?

Yeah, that was Lisa. She was played by Laura Carrington who played Simone on GH right after.

Erika: "That was a producer that didnt particularly listen to actors"

That woulda been Joseph Stuart wouldn't it? For some reason I always thought actors liked him...

I knew there had to be a catch to her appearing. I thought they spent way too much time on her especailly for such a short show as it is. Only OLTL should have been discussd and not her projects after. Im surprised Elizabaeth didnt ask about Ugly Betty and how it was to work with Vanessa Williams who is currently on Desperate Housewives which airs Sundays at 9 here on ABC

To be fair Judith's show is one of the of the few non musicals on Broadway right now that is selling out, so I don't think she wnet on just for the pimpage, but I agree with everyone else that they didn't need to waste any time talking about her other work... It's not like they asked Andrea and Robin to discuss their time on Passions

I thought it was good but I did miss not having more chat with Agnes (even if she would have repeated the Carla story )--it felt like we got more on the AMC one even with some actors on who I liked less, if that made sense. I did appreciate that Ron Carlivati must have somehow mustered ALL his restraing tto not interrupt and jump on stage and talk about his brilliance (he did sneak in for the final image I saw).

Agnes pulled RC up onstage.

LOL I thought he jumped up himself

I was hoping they'd ask what Katherine Helmond is doing these days... if she's still alive.

She was on a few episodes (and was great) of True Blood this season...

Overall, it was pretty good, though. But didn't the whole AMC cast appear at the end of their tribute? Just asking.

I think some people came up who werte tehre for some event but no--not at all, remember the cast was still largely in LA...Also of course AMC's finale was recorded like 3 weeks before the View tribute--OLTL was more llike two months?

I hated The View tribute. It seemed rushed and poorly edited. Yes, I am glad OLTL was even acknowledeged but I so preferred the AMC tribute over this one.

Wow--I enjoyed it for what it was. We're lucky to get anything really (when my beloved Loving/The City went off the air I don't think ABC did anything In all seriousness ATWT and GL just got very brief 60 Minute bits, right?). It did feel rushed, and for some reason it felt more so to me than the AMC one did (were there more people? Or am I just imagining that)but it's hard to squeeze allthose people into a 35 minute talk show, and the View ladies to their partial credit stayed largely out of the way. So I'm glad we got it.

ATWT didn't get a think on 60 Minutes either. I thought the View was rushed with the OLTL peeps, but felt that it was more focused than the AMC one as the majority of the people from OLTL were in the Viki story, while many of the AMC peeps seldom worked closely with Susan Lucci.

When I think about how The View tribute could have devoted entire segments to Jessica's alters, Starr's star-making musicals, and the Ford brothers if they wanted to, in the words of that great Gospel classic, "I Won't Complain".

Exactly. It was fine. No FF or JPL either.

Precisely.
