I know this may not be the popular statement to make here but: YOU GO JANET!! Next to the time Erica let the town have it at her award reception, I have not enjoyed a better read of PV townspeople.
Ah, Janet. One of those crazy soap characters we should have hated, but loved anyway. It was probably Robin Mattson. No matter what Janet did, she somehow made her sympathetic. One of those rare recasts I loved more than the original. At least things did work out for Janet and Trevor for a while.
Janet ALWAYS tugged at my heartstrings. When I first saw her talking to herself at the Pine Cone motel, I was so creeped out by her but then slowly, Robin Mattson started creating this wonderful character that made me laugh, cry, and then cheer on. She is my favorite Janet by far.
Lorrie Rack As I stated before,Robin Mattson's portrayal of Janet was a journey for the All My Children audience.We needed her to go through trials and tribulations in order to have sympathy for the character.If Janet was just a cookie cutter soap opera character,it wouldn't have connected with the audience.Robin Mattson's acting was like John Wayne in "The Searchers".
she does have a point. A lot of them PC residents have done rather despicable things. Were they punished? not nearly as bad as Janet. She served her punishment by now and had really done nothing wrong unless you count fraud. Just a shame 2005-06 had to happen. That came out of nowhere!
She did a cooking demonstration at a home show once in my city and she was so funny! The cooking equipment wasn't plugged in and she didn't realize it for quite some time! Reminded me of Lucille Ball!!
They were asking for it. Bout damn near everyone did bad shit in Pine Valley yet they have the nerve to treat Janet like garbage EVEN as she was busting her ass trying to make amends. We NEED more scenes snd storylines like this where someone on a redemption path calls out thr people who refuse to give them a chance (yet they can do bad things to each other and not even bother to apologize).
@@lizziemonk927 I agree. Laurel was an embezzler who caused Natalie to die. Tad the Cad Martin slept with not just Liza but her mom Marian. Sweet Little Dixie broke up Brooke and Adam's Marriage. Even Opal started out as a free loader of the Martins and pushed Jenny into modeling.
Wow!!! To see this is so strange after I just finished the entire storyline of Janet and Trevor falling in love and getting married just about 2 years after this scene. It was such a great story and Janet and Trevor had the best chemistry! They are my new faves and I just adore Robin Mattson!
Janet has always been my favorite character. Robin Mattson is Janet to me ... Kate Collins will always be Natalie. Robin really made that character her own. I hated how they made Janet all goody goody and then of all people got with Trevor (barf) that was too unrealistic even for a soap opera. They should have let her be who she really was, a loon that you could feel sorry for. I was so heartbroken when they ruined her character! It was a great ride while it lasted. The best AMC had to offer!
@@robertacosta1965 I really like the original Natalie and Janet but this one really set herself apart I really love the actress and I was upset that she never came back to do a guest role I will tell you all my children headset me into my own little magic Nation where I'm going to write stories I've use a lot of their back stories
Agreed I saw this version first and when they later brought back Kate Collins and then I was able to see the original Janet story on YT I was like she’s a cartoon and didn’t like it
best line ever was: Wheres Trevor? "hes been giving me the cold shoulder lately" HAHA (while he was in the freezer) still remember that line today haha
Maybe back then but Robin's Janet was more likable and redeemable. And u didn't like how they brought Kate back as Janet and undo everything and had her kill off Trevor in the most stupid way. Even way back then I had a hunch that the actress wanted it this way because I read her and the actor playing Trevor didn't like each other. Just this past year I found out that my assumption was dead on! No wonder AMC was tanking those last few years before they canceled
ok, why doesnt AMC bring robin mattson back as janet? this was back when i loved the character the most. i mean, kate collins is great in the role (that she originated i might add) but i loved robin's stint as janet from another planet/jane cox. btw: why cant we bring back tim dillon as well. doesnt amanda miss her brother/cousin? i mean, damn!

Janet to Trevor: "You self-righteous smug lump of lard!"
I love Robin Mattson!
Everything Janet said was on point.
Great acting. I loved Janet! And, everybody looks so young.
"Janet from another planet " That still cracks me up.
It sis not funny Janet is the way she is because she has schizophrenia.
she does have a point. A lot of them PC residents have done rather despicable things. Were they punished? not nearly as bad as Janet. She served her punishment by now and had really done nothing wrong unless you count fraud. Just a shame 2005-06 had to happen. That came out of nowhere!
True
Having sex with someone using fraud is rape. Something she did twice with Trevor.
Half of the damn near deserved it too. Some of them did her REAL WRONG and DIRTY!!!
Robin Mattson as Janet Green was so awesome.
What would Janet have been arrested for speaking her mind!!??? Mind you every last word was true! Pine Valley was definitely town of the hypocrites.
I met Robin Mattson.a nice lady and great actress
She did a cooking demonstration at a home show once in my city and she was so funny! The cooking equipment wasn't plugged in and she didn't realize it for quite some time! Reminded me of Lucille Ball!!
Janet IS right here! Sorry!
Man Janet called all them out.

@@lizziemonk927 100% loved Janet.
I so miss Robin Mattson as Janet!

All my Children always ruined characters.
I never bought that Trevor would marry Janet after what she did to Natalie. And Janet ended up murdering him.
I loved Trevor. I still have not forgiven AMC with how they killed him off.
Janet killed him
The good ole days of AMC - Janet was the best fun lol
A shame that there was only one single episode that featured Kate Collins' 'Natalie' and Robin Matteson's 'Janet.'
Was that an episode where Natalie appeared as an angel/ghost to offer advice to Janet?
@@seleehwekim Yes. They were on the same episode before but, Natalie's ghost only had scenes with Tim.
@@Lockamum Then Natalie’s last two appearances had zero to do with Janet.
I love Janet Green so much she my favorite
Janet!! She was sooo pretty here..why she never won or nominated! Why?
@@robertacosta1965 I really like the original Natalie and Janet but this one really set herself apart I really love the actress and I was upset that she never came back to do a guest role I will tell you all my children headset me into my own little magic Nation where I'm going to write stories I've use a lot of their back stories
@@tluderman77 this were wonderful amc years! Great cast..
@@robertacosta1965 I have thought the same way.
Loved Robin as Janet! Kate was too cartoonish as Janet but played Natalie more convincingly!
Agreed I saw this version first and when they later brought back Kate Collins and then I was able to see the original Janet story on YT I was like she’s a cartoon and didn’t like it
I watch all my children all my life.😊😊
Isn’t this Heather Webber from General Hospital
Yea
And then later Janet murdered Trevor and stuffed him in a freezer.
best line ever was: Wheres Trevor? "hes been giving me the cold shoulder lately" HAHA (while he was in the freezer) still remember that line today haha
I will never accept that story. Megan McTavish's crappy writing.
@@jacktheman2895 A lot of people don't accept it.
@@Anonymousgoose123 I hated that storyline but that line was amazing haha
No, no no, Kate was Janet!! She did a great job at playing both sisters!!!

Janet should have learned from Brooke. Judge Hale takes no nonsense when it comes to children.
She is a great actress really made the part her own
most definitely!
Great scene!
This must have been just a few episodes or weeks before Laurel's shooting at WRCW.
Too Bad Trevor ended up on ICE!

I think she was playing Heather Webber on GH who is just as great as Janet from another planet
Was she really from another planet?
@wunderfool1973 yes they and Skye were in on it. But the man never died, he haunted them, then was sent to jail!
Is miss B from bradless!
Who played the role of the Presiding Judge Patricia Hale?
Cynthia Harris, a.k.a. Sylvia on Mad About You/Mrs. B in Bradlees commercials.
@GenXorcist1976 ty means Thanx you
I recorded this on vhs !! And watched it 200000000 times
What does "TY" mean?
