The Di Has Been Cast Off
Never let it be said that this BLOG and website is not the right combination of the sublime and the ridiculous. Perhaps it's time to give proper recognition to the latter.
Forget that All My Children fed its viewers the line that ordinarily very sharp men like JR Chandler and Tad Martin fell for Di being Dixie. Forget that the actress pretending to be JR's mother is actually younger than Jacob Young, JR's portrayer.
The good news is that Young and Michael E. Knight troopers both kept their acting skills along for the ride. Young has been praised on these pages and more than one of his photos can be found in our Favourites Gallery on the main site.
Other good news is that the roster of talented acotrs over at All My Children will have a new addition or readdition as the case may be. Carolyn Hinsey reports in today's New York Daily News:
But the big news is the "Christmas miracle" that "AMC" accomplished this week. They lured Cady McClain back as Dixie, signed her to a contract, and then post-taped the holiday episodes airing Dec. 23 and 26 to insert her into them. "Obviously, Dixie didn't die," says McClain. "She's somewhere in Europe and she will have a conversation with Di."
