[@MrRatherino]

Liza one of the finest pieces of acting ever done on the show..

[@ahseeuh]

Marcy Walker! One of the best to ever do it!

[@neelyohara8350]

I love the Muzak that's always playing at The Glamorama!

Dorothy Lyman was a such a brilliant Actress. I still remember when as Gwen Parrish Frame on Another World she crashed The Yacht Party when Brava was celebrating 25 Years on The Air. She came unexpected and uninvited and along with her Nephew Evan Bates (Son of the Late Janice Frame) and talked smack about Rachel because she murdered her although of course it was self defense. At one point The Frames were a forced to be reckoned with and now they were a shell of their former selves and although Jamie was still on the Scene as a Doctor he wasn't an Architect like his Late Father Steve.

@Draper Scott I know right. Chances are they had New Writers who may have forgotten. Remember how Angie Perrini was her Rival for Willis Frame's Love and on their Wedding Day Angie was so upset she "left". Then Maeve Kinkead left for Guiding Light as Vanessa Lewis. I had no idea that her Sister In Law is Meryl Streep.

Marcy Walker was amazing here and only got better on Santa Barbara!!!

[@datboi1975]

When they killed Jenny on the jet skis...i was devastated! I was 8 lol.

[@davidzilldz]

Me too! But I was only 5! I watched AMC every morning with my mom.

[@louanne801]

My first AMC memory. Three year old me ran and hid behind the sofa.

[@dawnupton8668]

Apparently so was Greg there should be a video of Jenny's death but I cant seem to find it.

[@michaeltilley6281]

That was the day I stopped watching All My Children for years because I was so mad. I was 22.

[@ClintScottFischer]

I was 10, and I was devastated!

[@jchow5966]

I remember this episode!!!!!!! Liza calling out Tad-the best!!!!

[@laminage]

Marcy Walker was so convincing as Liza Colby, that when she was in a Nighclub, two girls locked her in a Bathroom Stall and screamed at her to leave Jenny & Greg alone. Also can you imagine how hard it was for her when she said Jesse raped her and he didn't. I heard a story about guys who did 6 and 10 Years for Rape and they didn't do it. DNA wasn't around. One Lady was forgiven, the other lady was a College Student and she was scared at what her Parents would say so she lied.

[@Samiyo]

Wow, I know you must have some GREAT PERFORMANCES I hope one day you will be able to upload.

[@tjames9698]

Opal caused just as many probs as Enid did.

[@laminage]

Here's another fun fact. November 30th is the Birthday of Dick Clark of American Banstand who did The Soap Opera Digest Awards and The Daytime Emmy Awards as well. In 2002 Girls Aloud was introduced to the UK and became the most successful Reality Show Group in Pop Music. Three Of The Group Members made appearances on Soaps. Coronation Street and Hollyoaks I believe. Then on Guiding Light Phillip Finds out the Truth on August 29th 1983 which was Michael Jackson's 25th Birthday Three Months after Motown 25. Both Shows had Singers who made Cameo Appearances on Bandstand as well as All My Children/Guiding Light.

[@michaeltilley6281]

Who cares? That has nothing at all to do with All My Children. But thanks for the trivia anyway.

[@laminage]

@@michaeltilley6281 Now more than ever alot of US Fans are watching UK Soaps and they love them. Eastenders, Coronation Street and Emmerdale are perennial favorites. They showed Eastenders on a PBS Affiliate in Detroit a couple of years ago.

[@laminage]

Another fun co-incidnece is that both Ray McConnell and Don Hastings were both on The Edge Of Night in the early days of their Career and both played Doctors, and they both won Honorary Emmys for their contribution to Soaps. In The UK they would have gotten a recognition at The British Soap Awards, but they would have suprised them on the night of the Telecast.

Lisa calling tad,trash pot meet kettle

[@michaeltilley6281]

@Draper Scott She was the victim that time but she caused a lot of trouble earlier, so the pot meets the kettle fits!

[@michaeltilley6281]

@Draper Scott Yes in this case she was absolutely correct. That is not what I was implying when I agree with the pot meets kettle statement that Donna Miller made. Pot meets kettle is now she is on the receiving end and getting some hurt back like the hurt she caused others...thus pot meets kettle which also means what comes around goes around

[@laminage]

The Secretary made a big mistake talking Shop with the Lawyer with another person there. The Secretary should have said Mr. Tate was in Conference and he will call ASAP.

[@missyraffray4147]

I love Marcy Walker.

[@kelvendyson1508]

Boyyyy!!! I remember this episode like yesterday!! When she said, "why don't you go up and get the gold chain, the expensive one with the big links!"...I was like Bro, you busted!!! That chain was nice but it also told on him. But I also remember something really bad happening to Liza after this like she was beaten up or sexually assaulted or something!!

[@laminage]

Also they are tied for life through The Chandler Family. Tad Co Parented JR., and Liza had Colby by Adam. Now Marcy Walker is a Minister. Is it true that the lady who played Vera Vanderbilt is Samuel L. Jackson's Wife. Can you imagine Jules Winfield lecturing Tad about infidelity.

In This Clip, From 8:39 To 8:44, It Was "All My Children" Break Video Bumper #2 From November 30, 1983.

[@annlavine3576]

Why does Olga want to split them up?

[@umarbentley4953]

Is the lady in 2:40 Latonya Richardson,the wife of Samuel L. Jackson, she looks so familiar.

[@michaeltilley6281]

So you said already

[@donnamiller5222]

finally karma bit lizard in the but

[@laminage]

@Draper Scott No she wasn't. She was next to Wendy Wilkins (Search For Tomorrow) one of the "Original" Mean Girls at least on a Soap. Remember how cruel she was to Jenny and accused Jesse of Raping her and he didn't. She felt that nobody would believe a Street Thug over a Young Lady who was upper middle class.

[@laminage]

@Draper Scott Maybe so but she knew his reputation as a "Playa". Also why would she want to get with someone who's sister she despised. Also she did some horrific things most notably lying about Jesse raping her.

[@michaeltilley6281]

@@laminage I disagree. I agree with Draper Scott.

[@nightowlchad]

@@laminage I liked Wendy on Search For Tomorrow. As I preferred Cynthia Gibb as Suzi

[@mariellclement8092]

Sic him, Eden Capwell!

[@moniquemosley2122]

01:35 - Who is this gorgeous woman? I don't remember this actress or her storyline. 🤔

[@barnesCh430]

I noticed the character's name was listed in the notes above as "Vera" so I Googled "Vera All My Children" and the actress's name came up as Grace Garland. I hope this helps. In the story I think she is helping Angie and Jesse find baby Frankie.

[@laminage]

@@barnesCh430 Exactly. As Vera Vanderbilt, she was a recurring character. She only came on when it was necessary. Marcy Walker admitted that some die hard All My Children Fans were so upset with her coming between Greg & Jenny that they locked her in a Bathroom in a Nightclub and screamed at her to "Leave Them Alone!" UK Soap Fans are just as fanatical. One former Cast Member on Coronation Street Ian Bartholomew was so convincing as an abusive Husband Geoff fans screamed at him and he had to go for therapy.

[@nightowlchad]

@@laminage also Marcy went to the nearest McDonald's, from the studio to eat, fans of the show have her hell for Liza being mean to Jesse

[@laminage]

​@@nightowlchadI believe you 😊
