Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.) -
Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline -
Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John. -
I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them. But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning. With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show. Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it. We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. -
Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that. The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. -

IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with. Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far. -
Another great episode. GH has been pretty good this year, loading up the chamber, because now there's many bullets to fire, and another one was fired today when Nina found out Michael is the father of Sasha's baby. I hope this secret comes out at the hearing. I've also liked the slow burn with Gio/Emma. There's just so many things to look forward to on this show now. GH is finally back to being really good.

I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today. But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie? Or if she was just SORASed off-screen? But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person. -
Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation. Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters. They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
