OMG seriously thanks for the laugh, that's like saying KWAK was classier than Brooke & Erica

babydawl had no class at all

[Gray Bunny]

Muwahahah... I remember that. So ridiculous how it trumped everything and everyone else in life.

Gregg Marx's last story on ATWT was the VERY unpopular decision to have Tom and Margo suffer another miscarriage. The story was just about unbearable. Marx was superb - you can see why he won an Emmy (in the days when they actually meant something).

Lily learns the whole, ugly truth about Holden and Aaron. This was one of Heather Rattray's last episodes as Lily, and was a great performance from her.

That was a different tape.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I don't care what Martha Byrne loyalists think, Heather was by far the best Lily.

[DRW50]

Well you won't get any argument from me. That was the only time I was a real fan of the character. Her last episode isn't on Youtube, but is on the ATWT DVD collection (the first set).

Oh, was that the tape that proved Kate and Lucas framed Sami for Franco's murder? And I think Victor eventually locked it up or something? So many tapes!!!

[Bright Eyes]

I don't know which it was but wasn't there a tape which Victor got a hold of (to which he proclaimed to now OWN Sami) where Sami admitted she lied about Lucas hitting Will?

[Michael]

Yes, maybe that was it. Good grief.

[Sindacco]

Yes that's the one. The tape was recored when Kate paid Roberto to confess to Franco's murder. Roberto's ex Anglea got it when Roberto died. Brandon married Angela to get the tape but Angela's father Vincent took it and made a deal with Kate that she would get it if he got back a territory that Victor stole from him years ago. Before she died, Anglea got Vincent to give the tape to Brandon. He and Sami used it to blackmail Lucas to sign over custody of Will to Sami. They made some contract where they agreed that the taped would be locked up in some safe and would remain there as long as Sami had custody of Will.

Yes, before Sami was about to marry Austin in Vegas, Lucas recored her saying she lied about him hitting Will. Victor got the tape and he used it to force Sami to break it off with Brandon.

Deborah Zoe as Eden August on GL. I loved Teresa Hill and did not care for the recast. But after Eden had to fake her death and go into Witness Protection, Zoe broke my heart.

I was just pointing out the irony that when Amanda Baker played Babe, the character seemed so much classier and softer than Babe was ever supposed to be (because ya, she was so trashy like Krystal when Alexa Havins played her, but I thought she and BE played the hell out of the roles).

IA that Kyle Brandt significantly improved at the end of his run, but I thought the entire show, in all aspects (acting, production, everything), improved tenfold the second Beth Milstein showed up in the credits instead of JER. Matt Ashford, Missy Reeves, Austin Peck, and Christie Clark also did great work around this time for their exit stories. However, I was so burnt out on Jason Cook at this time that I can't say anything too complementary about his exit work, or the horrifying Farah Fath (who should've just left with Philip or something). Brody Hutzler even stepped up his game around this time, and Judi Evans, though always amazing, was particularly good in Bonnie's final months (but then she came back, like, two months later as a redheaded Adrienne).

[Gray Bunny]

I think she got an Emmy nomination that year, and didn't she submit one episode as Bonnie and one as Adrienne? I think she should've stuck with the Adrienne material with Steve in the sanitarium.
