Hi!  For all of those who responded to me that they wanted these
tidbits about the AMC stars from the Soap Opera Magazine, I will
enjoy posting them for you.  Thanks for all your comments and
encouragement!

*****************************************************************

DID YOU KNOW that - Baby Amanda Dylan (MO-MO) is played by twin
boys Brett and Kevin Salvaggie?
*****************************************************************

APPEARANCES -  Kelly Ripa (HAYLEY) will be appearing at a
               luncheon September 13 at La Maganette
               Restaurant in NYC to benefit Jeff's
               Companion Animal Shelter.  For info, call
               (212) 734-3886.

               The 4th Annual Make-A-Wish Foundation
               benefit softball game between AMC and GL
               is scheduled for September 26 at Ed Weber
               Field in Union, NJ.  Game time is 1 PM; a
               $5 donation admits one.
****************************************************************

Cady McClain (DIXIE)
She had a ball reuniting with AMC alumni during her trip to L.A.
to attend Michael Knight's (ex-TAD) wedding.  "I got to see Rosa
Nevin (ex-CECILY), Maurice Benard (ex-NICO), Lauren Holly (ex-
JULIE) and Lonnie Quinn (ex-WILL)."  She said that Lonnie got his
pilot's license and took her flying.  His flight instructor was
with them, but she liked it so much that she's now thinking of
going to school to get her pilot's license.
*****************************************************************

FOUR YEARS AGO..........................Tom didn't know Skye had
been faking her paralysis.  He did know that he was being
emotionally blackmailed into staying with his wife, when the
woman he really loved was Barbara.  After a fight, Tom walked out
on Skye and went directly to Barbara's house.  Skye followed him,
where she saw her husband making love to Barbara.  Devastated,
she turned around and came face-to-face with Sean.  A stunned
Sean realized Skye could walk, but a frantic Skye begged him to
keep her secret.
*****************************************************************

Walt Wiley (JACKSON)
It's a tough job, but somebody's got to host those model contests
and Walt isn't a guy who shirks responsibility.  Although he has
a hectic schedule, between playing JACKSON and doing stand-up
comedy in NYC nightspots, Walt somehow squeezed in time to co-
host the 1992 Super Model of the World Show in L.A. sponsored by
the Eileen Ford Modeling Agency.  And he admits with a grin that
being surrounded by 33 long-legged beauties from around the world
wasn't too demanding.  "It wasn't all that tiring - some of these
girls are 15 or 17 years old, and yes, they're tall and
beautiful, but they're too young for me."  Tricia Helfer, a
statuesque blonde from Alberta, Canada, was judged the
outstanding model, winning a $250,000 modeling contrcat and she
also won a stunning $25,000 necklace and earring set.  Walt's co-
hosts were Ashley Richardson (formerly Ashley Montana) and
Beverly Johnson.  The show will be seen in September on
syndicated TV in the US and will also be telecast in Mexico,
other Central American countries, South America and France. 
(Personal comment:  this article shows some pictures with Walt
and the models, and yes, he has a very happy smile on his face!)
*****************************************************************
SET YOUR VCR for THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 - Stuart and Adam have an
ugly faceoff over Adam's scheme to break up Gloria and Stuart's
relationship.
*****************************************************************

DID YOU KNOW that - in 1990, Susan Lucci won Best Soap Opera
Actress in Canadian TV Guide's People's Choice Awards?

*****************************************************************
SEVEN YEARS AGO............................Nina told her mother
Daisy that she invested in Zach Grayson's research project. 
Daisy feared Nina was having an affair with Zach because Nina's
marriage to Cliff was in trouble.  Daisy confessed to Nina that
she and Zach were once lovers after her divorce from Palmer. 
When Nina confronted Zach, he denied it, but Daisy made Nina
realize Zach had been conning her all along.
*****************************************************************

Dondre Whitfield (TERRENCE) and Lindsay Price (AN-LI)
Dondre and Lindsay are appearing in a 30-min public service
program currently airing on many ABC stations.  The purpose of
the show, an offshoot of Project Literary, is to promote learning
in young children.  "I like to do things that involve kids,
because I would have wanted someone to do that for me when I was
growing us," says Dondre.
*****************************************************************

Julia Barr (BROOKE)
Who knows more about balancing a career and motherhood while
managing to always look beautiful than Julia Barr (BROOKE)? 
That's why she was selected to be one of four speakers at the
Suave Smart Choices for Today's Family Manager media briefing. 
Julia's topic was "how a woman on the run can handle beauty,
fashion and person care without spending a fortune."
*****************************************************************

John Wesley Shipp (CARTER)
He had been in his role as a mad stalker only a short time when
Karen Person (GALEN) mentioned to me that she'd been getting
strange phone calls at home.  Since his character was doing the
same thing to Galen on the show, John thought maybe she suspected
him!  "I wondered if she was feeling me out as to whether this
was my version of an acting lesson," he laughs.  "I told her it
wasn't me, but if it were, I'd lie!"  (Personal Comment:  I read
somewhere else (can't remember where) that when CARTER's role is
done on AMC, he's supposed to go over to LOVING)
*****************************************************************

Well, this is all for this week - these tidbits are from last
week's and this week's SOM.  

Also, I was wondering if anyone who watches AMC has been watching
OLTL (am I allowed to mention another soap on this network?) the
last few weeks with the story about the AIDS Quilt?  The whole
storyline has been quite incredible and I have cried my eyes
out - I saw the Quilt at Rutgers University, NJ last year and it
is quite an emotional experience.

I'm also glad to see on this net that the people in Florida and
Louisiana touched by Hurricane Andrew are fine!

Take care everyone!  Until next time..........................
