Parker Stevenson?

Remember Grant Putnam (Merle the Pearl from Eight is Enough)? He looked like Parker Stevenson. Kinda.

Best Emmy speech ever. I love Kirstie.

I wasn't a fan either. I don't usually like blonde men.

it was tom hardy. i knew that. he's the only blond i would consider. frisco doesn't really count as being blond does he?

apparently david wallace is now an electrician (or, at least he was as of 2001). can you imagine tom hardy coming to your house to get you wired?

Tom Hardy was played by David Wallace. He was married to another soap person. Lisa Trusel or something like that. Not sure what show she was from.

Aw. There are pics of the old "7 floor nurses station". The medicine room located in the back to the left saw a lot of action back in those days.

Rob Lowe is in the club with them.

Great page Rob! I loved this excerpt about Elizabeth Taylor:

It was glorious when Elizabeth Taylor joined the cast for a brief time as Helena Cassadine. We were impressed, fascinated, and delighted. She arrived with her own retinue of people, looking every bit as beautiful as she did in pictures, and she was everv bit as friendly as any actor on the set. It didn't occur to us that Elizabeth Taylor might be nervous. We had adopted the point of view that Elizabeth wasn't human--she was larger than life.

The first indication that she might be, just a regular person after all when she kept mispronouncing her character's name as "Cassadeen" instead of, " Cassadine." That was solved, and the scene went beautifully. Then she had a brief encounter with me at the nurses' station, during which I managed to keep my pencil from shaking, and on to a scene with Tony Geary (ex-Luke Spencer, now- Bill Eckert), a very sensitive and aware gentleman who realized that even a star like Elizabeth can feel out of place. (It isn't easy to walk into a tightly knit group of people, particularly when you're a star.). So in the scene, when Elizabeth knocked on Tony's door, instead of saying. "Can I help you'" as scripted, Tony threw open the door and shouted at the top of his voice, "My God, it's Elizabeth Taylor!" Everyone on the set broke into laughter, the tension was gone, and from then on Elizabeth sailed through as if she had been doing a soap for 20 years.

After Elizabeth had finished on GH, invitations arrived to a performance of "The Little Foxes," a play in which she was appearing in Los Angeles. We also received invitations to the Actors Fund benefit to be held afterward. I thought it was a mistake, so I called the Actors Fund to tell them, but the voice on the other end said. "No, no, it's not a mistake. Compliments of Elizabeth Taylor." She had bought a block of 65 or more of the best seats in the house and invited everyone with whom she had worked at GH. both cast and crew.

It was a beautiful evening, and not one word about this rather magnificent gesture was ever leaked to the press. Incidentally, her salary as an actress on GH went to charity. She was--is--quite a lady.

Okay, I missed yesterday's episode, so anyone who could fill me in would be appreciated.

I'm just starting to watch today's and would like to point out that no pregnant woman should be as bony as Elizabeth.

ETA: ENOUGH ALREADY with Jason just happening by whenever and wherever Elizabeth needs rescuing.

He and Lois grew up there. Looks like this chickie did, too. Did you watch when Lois was on? With the whole Ned/Eddie Maine thing?

I'm really feeling for Jason. I want the news out already.
