[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 240712, member: 27"] Alan-Michael is obviously named for his father and his grandfather. He is just as much a Bauer as he is Spaulding, and that always got on Alan's nerves. When Alan-Michael returned all grown up, he actually parachuted into the annual July 4th Bauer Barbecue. The Bauers had been the core family since the late 1940s (!!) with Ed and Mike growing up on the show. Mike was the town's policeman while Ed was the town's doctor. :) When Don Stewart left the role of Mike, he'd been in the part so long that the show decided not to recast, even as they had recast Ed several times. That back-and-forth between the two brothers was a major part of the show that was ultimately lost. Just goes to show how a soap changes over the years: Trish Lewis was the first "Lewis" to arrive at the show, and when they decided to give her a brother, they kept writing all these off-camera relatives that became so interesting that the writers ultimately brought them in (Billy, then Mindy, HB and ultimately Reva and her family ). Trish looked so dull in comparison to the others that they ended up writing her out even though there would not have BEEN a Lewis family if not for Trish. Josh was quite a cad when he first arrived, trying to sleep his way around town...quite the contrast with the saintly Josh of the 2000s. [/QUOTE]
