Richard Hatch had left the role, his character being declared missing, resumed dead in Vietnam. At first, Nick playing Phil was sort of shocking, the physical difference between him and Richard Hatch being so obvious, but he made that part his own. Long ago days now. I'm sorry to hear of his death. 1 Link to comment

WendyCR72 September 17, 2023 Share September 17, 2023 Billy Miller, Richie Novak, has died at only 43! Ironically, apparently today, 09/17, would have been his 44th birthday. This is shocking. May he RIP. 1 Link to comment
giovannif7 November 3, 2023 Share November 3, 2023 Yet another AMC loss - Peter White, who played lawyer Lincoln Tyler (son of society maven Phoebe and Dr. Charles Tyler) has passed away at age 86. 4 Link to comment
boes November 3, 2023 Share November 3, 2023 I loved Peter White, and I LOVED Kitty and Linc, and later, Kelly and Linc. He was the perfect man to play son to Phoebe and Charles - the best of all who had been in the role previously - and his romance with Kitty/Kelly was such a touching and adult relationship. Perfect pairing with those two actors. Also, he seemed like a good man, all around. ETA - He was also excellent in the first filmed version of Boys in the Band. 5 Link to comment

Tartlet July 22 Share July 22 Esta Terblanche, who played Gillian Andrassy, passed away on July 19, 2024. She was my favourite character from the late 1990s / early 2000 era. Sadly, all of the actors of her onscreen family have all now passed away: Eugenia, Dmitry and Edmund. 2 Link to comment
Palimelon July 22 Share July 22 Sad news indeed. At least Rudolf Marin (who played Dmitry's son Anton) is still alive, even if he and Esta were never on the show at the same time. 1 Link to comment
Mckinnonsgirl September 9 Share September 9 On 5/29/2020 at 7:54 PM, Steph J said: I genuinely cannot imagine Maria and Trevor together as a romantic couple - and I say that as someone who willingly suspended all disbelief in order to accept that Trevor would fall for Robin Mattson's Janet. I loved the chemistry between Kiberd and Mattson, and despite Janet's past, Robin played Janet's redemption wonderfully and I loved them as a couple, until the writers first backburned them, and then decided to have Janet lose it again. I quit watching after they left. I preferred Robin's version of Janet over Kate, but I don't deny Kate is a very talented actress too, I just loathed how the writers trashed all the character development that had happened with Janet and threw it away for camp and Janet would never have killed Trevor. 1 2 Link to comment

Pearson80 September 25 Share September 25 I have been missing All My Children something terrible. So I have been watching past episodes on youtube. I have fallen in love all over again with Brooke and Edmund. Those two were just so wonderful and dynamic together. I never understood why the show put Edmund with Maria. Edmund lost himself in that pairing, he became lifeless and dull by Saint Maria's side. Edmund brought so much happiness adventure and joie de vivre to Brooke's life. I truly felt that she was truly happy with him and that he along with her son Jamie made life worth living after he beloved daughter Laura died. I just wish that Brooke was not so unforgiving when it came to Edmund's vendetta against Dimitri. Does anybody know why the writers went from Edmund/Brooke to Edmund/Maria? Did the show change writers who decided to jettison the Brooke/Edmund love story. It was just jarring to me because Maria was clearly a rebound for Edmund. His heart was with Brooke period.. 1 1 Link to comment
Palimelon September 25 Share September 25 I'm a bit mixed. I liked Edmund with Brooke, but I also liked Edmund with Maria as well. Then again, I also liked Brooke when she was paired with Adam and also with Jackson. I think Brooke's weakest pairing was with Tad. IMO, they worked better as friends than as a couple. 2 1 Link to comment

It's not that I didn't enjoy them but as you say, they worked best as friends. I also loved her with Tom. Those two were terrific together, especially in the early days when they uncovered the identity of Cobra, Brooke's drug-dealing, mobster mother, who turned out not to be Mommie after all. Great story! 3 Link to comment

I think it was because once they got Michael E. Knight back, the show decided that Brooke was more valuable as an obstacle for Tad and Dixie. As someone who never particularly liked Tad and Dixie (and to this day is salty that the show decided not to pursue a Tad/Liza pairing during Marcy Walker's second run) I can't say I agree with the decision. 1 Link to comment
