Another World 50th Anniversary: Super Couples

In my previous posts I've mentioned some of the super couples of ANOTHER WORLD. I've touched upon Sandy & Blaine, Catlin & Sally, Michael & Donna, Sam & Amanda, Ryan & Vicky and even Matt & Donna. But there are some fan favorites which need further examining.Dashing construction magnate Steve Frame (George Reinholt) romanced lovely nurse Alice Matthews (Jacquie Courtney).The two were married on AW's 10th anniversary in a lavish hour-long special. Included above are Liz Matthews (Irene Dailey), Russ Matthews (David Bailey), Jim Matthews (Hugh Marlowe), Robert Delaney (Nicholas Coster) and Iris Carrington (Beverley McKinsey).Alice's brother Russ (played Sam Groom here) was snared by bad girl Rachel Davis (Robin Strasser). But Rachel didn't want Russ...Rachel (now Victoria Wyndham) wanted Steve!

And Rachel won Steve - by getting pregnant with his child.

After Steve "died" ( he came back in the 80s played by David Canary), Rachel, the shrew was tamed by the love of publisher Mac Cory (Douglass Watson).

Rachel almost destroyed her happiness with Mac by cheating with Mitch Blake (William Gray Espy).

Rachel and Mac had their times apart, but their love always brought them back together. Mac died off screen when Douglass Watson passed away.Rachel's widowhood led to several short-lived romances, culminating with her unlikely marriage to Mac's nemesis Carl Hutchins (Charles Keating). This time around it was Rachel who tamed the lion.

Another great couple from the 70s were Sam & Lahoma (Jordan Charney and Ann Wedgeworth). This duo proved so popular that they were spun off to SOMERSET. The two were later reunited on THREE'S COMPANY.
Police officer Larry Ewing (Rick Porter) tamed sexpot Clarice Hobson (Gail Brown)–making an honest woman of her.

Cass Wintrop (Stephen Schnetzer) was a great match with Cecile DePoulignac (Nancy Frangione). (See here with John Hutton's Peter Love).
But Cass was also great with Kathleen McKinnon (Julie Osburn), until her death.
After mourning his wife and  a bad experience with Nicole Love, Cass finally found love again with Frankie Frame (Alice Barrett), until she was killed as well.
In the tradition of Larry and Clarice, good guy cop Joe Carlino (Joe Barbara) found love with Paulina Cory (Judi Evans).
And officers Gary Sinclair (Timothy Gibbs) and Josie Watts (Amy Carlson) make a great, sexy duo.

I posted this about 2 weeks ago, since then it's become even more timely. Please share it, post it, repost it, spread it around far and wide. As one of the producers, I'm glad that this is catching on, but I am also sad that it had to be made in the first place. The message is clear and is needed to be heard now more than ever. Thanks!

The Defenders

Here's a little project that I helped produce in response to California's Prop 8 passage which may have made my legal marriage invalid. (It's now up to the court to decide if the ban effects marriages performed before the vote). Could you believe that in 21st Century America people could vote to actually TAKE AWAY the rights of other people? It boggles the mind.
