Linda was Cliff Warner's white trash sister. This goes back a decade or
so, but I vaguely remember her somehow being involved with the late Zach
Grayson. Anyone else remember the details?

Linda Warner, played by Melissa Leo 1984-85, was Cliff
Warner's little sister. She was sort of a bad-seed type,
got Cliff's license revoked for him, got mixed up with
Zack Grayson and his scams. It doesn't say in my book
what happened to her but it seems to me she died an
untimely death.

I'm glancing at the Dec. 4th issue of "People" Magazine, and there's
this article about Melissa Leo (actress). It says she played Linda
Warner on AMC and was nominated for an Emmy at the end of 1985. I
don't remember Linda Warner? Does anyone?

If memory serves, Linda Warner is Cliff Warner's sister.

Linda Warner would be Bobby's aunt. She's Cliff Warner's (Bobby's dad)
sister. She was only on the show a short time. Sort of a trouble maker and
messed up kid. I don't remember too much about her or her storyline.

She was Cliff Warner's sister. She was very conniving. I forgot who she
was involved with but I recall she took him to Palmer's private getaway,
for a place to be alone and ran smack into Myra and Sloane in their "love
in December" storyline.

I believe she was killed, but don't remember the specifics.

Yes, Linda was and still is one of my favorite Evil AMC character!
She was Cliff Warner's little sister, and was in on the "plot" of
that Evil Zach Grayson to sabotage Nina. Linda was in love with
Zach and would have done anything for him. I am pretty sure Zach
killed her tho I can't remember specifics. I do know she's DEAD :) :(

Yes, she was Cliff's sister. No, she didn't come onto Cliff, she really
was his sister. I don't remember all of the plot details, but I do
remember that she and Nina got into a really *great* fight at one point
and Nina threw a pot of hot tea at Linda! It was memorable.

grandson...and Nina adopted Bobby. Does that tell ya enough??? If
not I'll try to see what else I can find out.....Glad to have been a
help. If ya need to know anymore questions from wayyyyy back when ask
me I can probably find out!........

Can it be that you didn't read *any* of the replies that preceded yours
and answered the question correctly? Dr. Cliff Warner never had an affair
with his sister Linda. He had an affair with Sybil Thorne, as has been
posted dozens of times since Bobby made his appearance. Sybil Thorne,
who was murdered by Sean Cudahy at Palmer Courtlandt's instigation, is
Bobby's biological mother. Linda Warner was Cliff's sister, played by
Melissa Leo now of _Homicide_.

Bzzzzzzst! But thanks for playing.

I guess everyone (except Nancy) knows by now that Linda Warner is Cliff's
sister, not somebody he had an affair with who coincidentally had the same
last name.

I guess everyone also has been told that Nurse Sybil Thorne is Bobby's
biological mother.

But just in case a newbie has arrived, and called up the above-quote message,
I thought I'd better deny it quickly. RATSAfarians, come on! You've got to
leap on misinformation and squelch it before it can do irrevocable harm. Do
you really want to have to add "Cliff did *not* sleep with his sister" to the
FAQ? Let's stop it now, while we have a chance!

Yup, Zach killed Linda hours before Zach was offed, which was a
disappointment since I wanted her to be at least a suspect, if not
the killer. BTW, in real life, she was involved in a bitter
custody dispute with her ex-husband John Heard; allegations of
spousal abuse (his abuse of her) were printed in the news. If
I remember right, he tried to strangle her once. All I can say
is I hope his career is through.

Noooo.... you're thinking about Sybil Thorne. Linda Warner was Cliff's bad
girl sister.

From one Nancy to another, just let the responses run its course. You made a
major error and I'm sure everyone (including myself) saw your error first and
didn't see any responses to it. Each person posted that you made an error
without realizing that others were posting the same thing. In addition, as
you no doubt know, newsreaders and accounts post differently, so although it
might seem like everyone is continuing to pick on you, what really is
happening is probably just the straggling posts coming in. You're
exasperating yourself responding to the posters and it isn't necessary. Let
'em run out and move on from there!

Chin up!

All I really remember about her was that she nearly cost her brother
(Cliff) his medical license, by conning him into failing to report her
gunshot wound. Bad, bad news.
