I guess sooooo... I thought since ninny posted about Myrtle Fargate a while back (from AMC) she might know Phil Carey too...cuz us ABC soap fans usually know people from the other shows.  :-\\

I forgot the old theme song-and yes, I sang along with it-it is amazing how all the words come right back to you. I also forgot about all his wives too. (I remember some of them but not ALL).

I also just realized that Clint Richie also just passed away a few weeks ago (Jan. 31st).  :\'( :\'( :\'(  Man, what is going on with the Buchanan boys. It looks like Bo is the only one left.  :\'( :\'( :\'(

sadly I sort of thought Clint Ritchie died two years ago..... I'd start a tribute to him but I think I'll just change this thread to include them both...since you're the only one who seems to remember them anyway.  ;)

Since I haven't watched in YEARS-did the characters die?

I think so.  i wasn't watching then either... first there was Eternia and then that whole Wild West lets travel back in time 100 years.  ::)  It got weird.


Actually- do you remember Sarah (played by Jensen Buchanan) she married Bo and when the actress left the show they killed off Sarah. Bo seriously mourned Sarah but at the same time the producers decided to age Kevin & Joey  so I tune in one day and K & J are 12 & 10 and Bo is mourning Sarah- she'd been dead a week or a month-  then the next day I tune in and Kevin & Joey are 18 & 16 and....Bo was still mourning Sarah....it kind of pissed me off so I stopped watching.

I do remember Eterna & the Wild West. (I think I might have a couple of Eterna episodes on tapes lying around here somewhere). I remember when they brought Sarah back only to kill her off again-of course that was because the chick they had playing Sarah was NOT Jensen Buchanan-can't remember who she was but I do remember she was  8-P -so the producers decided to kill off the character again instead of getting a GOOD actress to play her. But, I always like Bo & Nora.


I stopped watching when ABC cancelled PC-that was when I stopped watching GH, too.

I remember the recast but I sort of remember Bo holding on to Sarah as she died and I'd swear that was Jensen Buchanan.....maybe I'm just remembering it the way it ought to be remembered.

Well, I always thought the show was misnamed because it was never ONE life to live-care to figure out how many times people have come back from the dead? Even Bo came back from the dead one time. I remember Bob Woods being on some talk show (can't remember which one) and he was holding up a tee shirt that said, "My character came back from the dead and all I got was this lousy tee shirt".  :D ;D ;D ;D

In trying to find that clip of Sarah I just learned that she has come back from the dead too (apparently)  ::)

Too bad people can't come back from the dead in real life.  :\'( :\'( :\'(
