All My Husbands on "Oprah"

Erica's 8 husbands
     Yesterday on "Oprah", Oprah Winfrey surprised Susan Lucci in reuniting her with the eight actors who have played her husband on "All My Children" over the last 40 years. It was touching to see them and I am thrilled Oprah was a big enough fan of the show to have done that ("was" instead of "is" as I don't know if she is still a fan, so I didn't want to misquote). It was a little unnerving to not recognize some of the men, but alas, that is what age does to you. Dimetri's face was a little thin and deflated (he's the one in the red shirt and hat). But, Walt Willey (Jack, the one in gray guffawing) looked the usual. Go figure. (Get it? It's cuz we see him every day, hahaha...ha).
     I wish ABC would run past episodes from years past (we're talking from the last 41 years) instead of reruns from say, four months prior. I don't really need to be reminded of David flaking out in the courtroom again...I want to see Cliff and Nina or Myrtle. What I would give to see Myrtle and her little dress shop again!!! Watching this reunion show yesterday on "Oprah" reminded me that "YouTube" has old episodes of "All My Children". Maybe when I am bored this weekend, I'll watch a few. I am very nostalgic and seeing the old gang again is like attending a family reunion I actually want to go to.
