This is amazing. This is such a distant but great memory. Thanks for posting.

@BryanBuffinton As I was watching these scenes for the first time since I was 12 years old, I couldn't believe my eyes when I scrolled through the comments and saw yours. You were always my favorite Bill! And actually, the only "real" one in my book. Thanks for being a part of something so wonderful that to this day still means something to so many people.

@@helensullivan3400 Thank you! That means a lot to me to hear that. It was such a special time.

[@denisebrewer3127]

@B Buff in my mind, you were the only Bill!! The affection that you had for Maeve, and she for you, was obvious in every scene!

[@bryanbuff]

@@denisebrewer3127 Aw, thanks! ❤️

​@@bryanbuffYou were such a strong positive role model. In the UK alot of Soap Kids grow up but some have a hard time handling their fame. I told UK Soap fans about you, and you show that there is life after Soaps.

Thank you for these!!!

I don’t remember this at all! Thanks for posting

Can you imagine how surreal it must have been for Maureen Garrett to work with the Various Michelles. Holly & Michelle had such a Strong bond back in the day.

Peace family

Also Maeve Kinkead as you know is the Sister In Law of Meryl Streep. Her Brother Harry is her Husband. Meryl played Julia Child and another Former Soap Icon Sarah Lacanshire is also playing her in The UK. She played Raquel on Coronation Street and on Netflix & PBS she's seen on shows like Happy Valley & Last Tango In Halifax.

Wow

[@merricat3025]

This was so sad. I remember when this aired

[@laminage]

I just thought how "Sad" Michelle was since Maureen and Vanessa were Best Friends. Bill, Ben, & Michelle went thorugh so much. Bill "thought" Vanessa had died, Ben lost both his "Bio" Parents, and Michelle lost Maureen.

[@laminage]

The one thing that I also remember was the "close" bond that Michelle and Holly had in the past. Holly was really in her own way a "Surrogate Mother" to Michelle growing up.

If Dahlia had known The Reardons Better she could have sung. This year marks the 40th Anniversary of Dreamgirls debuting on Broadway and Four Gl Alumnaes did the Show. Sharon Leal, Yvonna Kopacz Wright, Karla Mosley and the "Original" Effie Jennifer Holliday

Isn't it amazing to know that Frank was once Bill's Stepbrother when Nadine was married to Billy.

[@laminage]

The extras are so amazing. The Black Lady worked for several years as a Nurse at Cedars as well as an Employee at WSPR. It angered and saddened me to see how the Black Actors were treated from 1999-2009. They could have done so many storylines.

[@RichardVernadeau]

what year did this episode air?

[@RichardVernadeau]

[@laminage]
