Don't know that one. 

She dated Fannie Flagg for years. 

At B&B Joanna Johnson & a producer Hope Harmel Smith had a fight over her & a producer had to come out of the booth & break it up. Apparently she was dating them both. 

Good for her! LW says before LOVING she had only worked at her Dad's service station.

Laura Wright first love interest on Loving was Eric Woodall (who played Matthew Ford) he is also gay

Years later they had a Santos Family Guiding Light reunion on The Locher Room - Paula Garces (who played Pilar) confessed she had a BIG crush on PAS - to which Alan Locher said "unfortunately he didn't play on your team"

Thanks. I am very vague on LOVING history!!! I only watched the last weeks because I mistakenly thought I would need to see it since I was going to watch THE CITY. 

I can just imagine him being a magnet for confused straight girls! When we lived in Brooklyn, he was one of about a dozen actors who lived near us so we'd see them sometimes. I even met his cute little dog one evening.

and married,

This topic is so schizophrenic.

On the one hand we make fun of people for not knowing certain actors were gay, then we're shocked when we find out new folks have been added to the list.

    • I just watched it, it was decent, looking forward to Martin's secret. Glad to get info on why the children were aged up!
    • !!! I felt the same. Martin secret has always been my favorite storyline.  I happen to Andre's wardrobe but it ages him. They have a grandpa vibe.

      , Facts! I would like to see something like that in Daytime. Both of y'all can back up off my husband! Tomas couldn't shine his shoes.
    • Brandy was an odd mish-mash of a character. A radical during her college days, then a journalist/romance writer, I believe? But not so much of a radical that she had a problem chasing millionaire Alan, LOL. The actress, JoBeth Williams, went on to have a pretty good movie and prime time career.
    • Bill attempts to use Smitty to send a veiled thread to Martin.

      Thought I’d share this video featuring Cathy Carricaburu, now Foxhoven, who played Nancy Becker from 1976-1978.

      She talks a little about her acting career starting around the 6 minute mark and briefly mentions Y&R. I’d be interesting to see some of her work on Y&R since it seems to be her most notable role.
    • I believe Henry Slesar intended that the Paige/Nola plot would play out over three to six months and Paige would be the new younger ingenue; but a few things happened. Sharon Gabet didn't renew her contract and the audience didn't like the Paige/Brian romance as it flirted with incest. Kim Hunter revealed in an interview that she as slated for 3 months but Henry asked her to stay on for an additional period. I watched Edge during this period when it originally aired and Margaret Colin was not great in the role. She seemed very green among the vets as was the dude playing Brian. He was poorly cast which was unusual for Edge.  I think Henry started to get pressure from ABC and P&G to jazz up the show given what was exploding under Monty on GH at the time. I loved Kim as Nola and all the stories it generated for others. Miles and Deborah in particular. But the next who dunnit plot in this period was not one of Henry's best (at least for me the culprit and explanation were lame for Henry). 
    • Bill and the performer are the strongest male character and actor on this show.  Yeah, how I see it too. you pair your best young female with one of the weakest screams sabotage to me.  I like this idea, it doesn't make things too predictable. I would buy that!
    • Nordstrom's page for above AFRM Shailine dress that Chelsea wore, pink petal pattern/color https://www.nordstrom.com/s/shailene-print-long-sleeve-powermesh-midi-dress/8127521?origin=category-personalizedsort&color=683 Notice on that page there is a video, and the video shows a different color which is the color worn by Audra on Y&R in April 2025. Same exact dress, just different color pattern - organic rose. https://wornontv.net/509377/
