In SOD he talks about his time on AMC. Maurice says he learned a valuable lesson during his stint as Nico, "Never fall in love with your co-star." He went on to say that his personal problemsand relationship resulted in his exit and went on to brag about his new contract with GH blah blah.

I am not sure. Something bad definitely happened between MB and the actress who played Cecily. The rumors were that MB's mental health issues were involved. I know that the actress refused to work with him at the end and they stopped sharing scenes and filmed their scenes separately which was very noticeable. It was too bad. Nico and Cecily were a great couple.

At All My Children, Nico and Cecily Kelly recently were sent on a round the world trip when Maurice Benard and Rosa Nevin decided not to renew their contracts. "Losing them was very difficult, because we had foreseen years of story for Nico and Cecily," says Executive Producer Behr. "If we could have changed their minds, we would have. But we were able to wrap up their story in such a way that they can come back. The door is always open. "

I think he's referring to Robin Christopher. Lauren was with Danny Quinn at the time.

I believe it had to do with RC, but I was under the impression it was one sided. Like he had feelings for her and she wasn't into it. That's why they were never in a story on GH because RC still had reservations about MB because of their time together on GH. For some reason I thought MB was married during his time on AMC because he has mentioned knowing his wife since she was really young. When did he marry his wife?

      The good thing about those ATWT openings is that they rotated the characters. The flaw in the Hold on to Love opening is that it was so stagnant, and rarely if ever changed. That ATWT version had at least three different versions, and sometimes you got the opening, sometimes you got the clean up spot, and sometimes you got the short dot-dot-dot spots.  Ugh..the hands opening was about 2007 and was the actors putting their hands in a circle (I was waiting for them to yell "go team!") as a poem was recited. It looks like fifth grade media students came up with it. See---no one wants you to forget Vanessa's a Chamberlain. It was so embedded in the character, it never quite sounded right to leave out her maiden name. And if she wasn't reminding people she was a Chamberlain and not to be trifled with, other characters would throw it out there. Once (and I think it's during the Slut of Springfield debacle) Alex says something like "poor Vanessa--she's still a Chamberlain at heart after all".  Although I can't recall her ever being credited as Vanessa Chamberlain Lewis. And thank God we never had to contemplate "Vanessa Reade". I swear half the time that marriage fell through was that someone shivered at the thought at having ten characters a day say "Vanessa Reade". I'd have to check on if they used C. Blake Thorpe a lot.  I  Anyone would've been better than Calla.

      They should have paired him with Suzette, or Suzanne, whatever. Jerry and Frances Fisher feel like a natural duo.

      This was one of my favorite soap friendships of all time. Mishael and Gina had AMAZING friendship chemistry. And Phyllis at that time was exactly the friend Hilary needed. God why did you have to remind me what we lost

      Tracy was handing Anita the business today and I was here for it! Martin and Smitty’s daughter looks like she’s related to the son’s love interest I really enjoy Martin and Smitty together now that the two actors are much more comfortable in their roles. Just wanted to add I love how Vernon is written and portrayed as opposed to the Victor Newmans, Kiriakis, and Stefano’s were written. It’s nice to see a patriarch that actually loves their family.

      I said it before---Guiding Light is probably the soap that most clung to family names. I mean, the only reason to even think about naming that child Bert B(whatever) is that you've been writing all night, you start shooting in two minutes, and someone inserted it as a joke and the wrong rewrite got sent out to the actors.  As much as I criticize Infinity, the fallout from the shooting is what sweeps is all about. The moment when Rick and Phillip know Mindy could spend that money--OMG. Billy's ready to lock himself away, Sally tears Reva a new piehole, Ed's performing life-saving surgery and Lujack bein' all Lujack. I actually like that cop--I think his name is Saunders? He was a rarity, a cop who wasn't dumb. Listening to that Locher room with Krista and Mark Lewis, I think Kurt would've lasted longer, had Mark not had an out in his contract to do a play. As Mark explained, a new EP came on, didn't want him to do the play and kinda warned him that he might not have a job to come back to. Mark did it anyway (he had friends backing the play) and sure enough, they killed Kurt off. In the long run, I don't think they had a lot of story to do with Kurt and Mindy, who hadn't gone through much before getting that extravaganza. But it did seem to be short sighted to kill him off that soon. Ross wasn't driving story in '85, that's for sure. He had defended Lujack in the Andy Ferris murder, and he rides herd on Phillip as India tries sinking her claws into him. He did send Trish off to Europe, and he defends Billy and Mindy. But yeah--sometimes they just "forgot" about Ross until someone needed a lawyer. While there was always a fight around Spaulding, it was hitting a dry spell in terms of people connected to it to interact with.

      So I’m currently on May 7th. Should I just go ahead and skip to this week or last Friday? Though I do want to see Xander beat up Phillip. Maybe I should skip ahead and then go back. Thoughts daily watchers?

      I really loved the scenes with Smitty & Martin today. Mike Manning did a really great job and I felt for Smitty. I am genuinely buying them as a couple and I really want to know more about Smitty's family and back story.

      Today was so so good. Everyone has basically said all my thoughts but I did want to add: I was anxiously waiting for Tracy to find out about Gio and the show didn’t make us wait long at all. Jane Elliott was perfect today.
