Hey Quinn. I was at the dentists the other day and they had a soap on the TV in the examining room. My dentist asked if I'd ever heard of All My Children to which I said yes I watch.

Anyway seems he goes to the same conventions each year and meets new dentists all the time. Then there was a meet and greet where they brought their wives.

Dr. Richard Hirschlag was there with his wife Julia Barr. My dentist's wife was thrilled but too scared to say hello. Seems Julia is very quiet and unassuming or at least she was here when it's about her hubby.

Eventually my dentist's wife went to speak with her and it made her night as she is also a huge fan.

    Quinn, I had cut and pasted that onto the board several times during the months after Dixie was killed off.  I THOUGHT I would have it in my own documents but so far I cannot find it anywhere.  I usually save things that are that well written...I will continue to hunt in case I locate it.

    In the meantime I searched the internet to see if I could get it again and below is the info I found as to why I cannot find it...(btw where it says you can see podcasts of her blog..??...I didn't find anything like that)..but I'll keep trying to find it--I really thought I saved it:

    Blog

    McClain has maintained a personal and professional blog and also maintained a blog on the ABC website entitled "Confessions of a Mad Soap Star". Since her termination from All My Children

    the blog, which allowed comments, has been locked and cannot be viewed. Podcasts of the blog are posted on the site.

    McClain's blog entries touched on a number of topics pertaining to work as well as her personal life....She was also candid about her feelings towards the dismissal of former All My Children co-star Julia Barr

  • Thanks! I'll do some checking with this hint--I can do podcasts, if I can find them. Quinn
  • Didn't she also speak up about the writers ruining Tad by making him Madden's murderer? Thought that was the last straw but I may be remembering it wrong. eom/WE
  • So, well here I am with nothing. I'm in IT and do computer consulting, but on Cady McClain on her ABC oriented stuff--its been redacted. Nothing. Not even in Google Cache files. Admittedly I didn't check all 8,460 results, but I did check the top 50 or so. Anything she published on an ABC property (web site) would have been the property of ABC and apparently they excercised their option to kill all her comments. I did find a nice interview with ''OurPrattville'' but not much else beyond clips on youtube of ATWT and her appearences on Live! Oh, check out W.E.'s comments above for notes on Julia Barr--interesting--Quinn--and thanks for responding you're still the owner of ''bee's knee's'' well, you know what I mean. Q

    It's not really going to be All My Children from Los Angeles. No Adam, Joe martin, even Zack will be gone. Only Erica and Tad will be left from the real show. Opal, Jack, and Palmer all gone too. There are no core families, no romantic fantasy. Sad way to kill a show.

  • I thought David Canary was staying on..that's what the posts said as to who's moving to LA---if he's gone, I'm depressed...I was happy til I read this from you....sigh...SORAS
  • further reading shows me that DC's daughter said that her parents are going to LA only long enough to fulfill his contractual obligation to AMC...I'm totally unhappy now and have said all along if the demise of Adam is that he killed his brother while in a drugged induced stupor...that's awful. SORAS :(
  • a week or two ago i posted a blurb i found about DC stating he's only going to be on the show through easter. it'll probably be the final nail in the coffin for AMC / imqrious2
