Darling Deidre Hall - what do you make of her?

I know she's a bit of a DL icon but there must be some good stories on her..

Any thoughts on the undisputed star of DOOL for over 40 years? Why did she stay so long in soap?

Bi leaning lez. Former carpet cleaners include Morgan Fairchild, Loni Anderson, Jane Elliot. Has a major power trip. The new hot young studs on the show have to sleep with her if they want to keep their jobs. Bible thumper Austin Peck was supposedly one of them. She stayed in soaps so long cause that's where she belongs. She had mild success in prime time with Our House but it wasn't her vehicle and she didn't have enough pull to in that area to breakout.

She's smart tho and at least realized it and was the cream of the crop on her show. For years she had a pay or play contract, probably was first up for taping scenes so she could be done and on with her day and has had a very comfortable life.

So get ready- YEARS ago I met her co star from the 70s - Jean Bruce Scott of Airwolf fame and she had great stories of Dee. She was a terror back in the day. Would always play super shifty games during scenes to maximize her lighting. Would sit during scenes when not rehearsed so she could look up and get the better lighting. Take her shoes off. Lots of little tricks. Drove the directors nuts. Also apparently had an on set affair with Quinn Redeker back in the day. Fucked in dressing rooms.

Try again sweetie, Dee was trying to score a nomination. and contract players of all soaps (back then) fill out a ballot listing the their top five choices in each acting category. Dee sent out the tapes (over 5 thousand) to every contract player on every soap hoping they would vote for her in the nomination phase. They didn't/.

The mess with Dee and the fan.

"An unusually nasty feud between fading soap-star Deidre Hall and the president of her fan club has landed in federal court.

The former “Days of Our Lives” diva is suing her once-adoring No. 1 fan to get the rights to her Website, diedrehall.com — but the fan club president is say´ÿ ing not until the actress ÿ comes up with $17,000 in money she’s owed.

The dispute goes much deeper than a haggle over a few thousands dollars and a URL.

It is the kind of tale you can find only in Hollywood.

In the complaint, Hall — who was dropped from “Days” in 2008 after 29 years as the show’s leading lady — accuses fan-club president Cathleen Paradis, 45, for “unauthorized exploitation” of her likeness and using her Web site to sell “private photographs of [Hall] and her minor children.”

The soap-opera diva is asking for unspecified monetary damages as well as possession of various domains, including deidre-hall.com — which Paradis insists she paid for and created with Hall’s blessing.

According to Paradis, an unemployed Web designer from of Newlington, Conn., the drama began two years ago, after she’d spent months acting as Hall’s defacto personal assistant.

“I submitted the bill for it, and she didn’t want to pay,” Paradis told the Post yesterday.

“I was very loyal and dedicated for a lot of years. But you have to draw a line in the sand at some point. I had bills to pay. I couldn’t just keep using all of my time doing everything she wanted and expect the tooth fairy to pay my rent.”

Hall’s lawsuit says her fan “voluntarily assisted” her.

But Paradis says her duties included scanning more than 6,000 photos into a computer data base for her and creating video presentations for managers and agents.

“She even asked me to retouch pictures of her and her children for the annual Christmas card,” Paradis says, “to make her kids look better and her youngest son look thinner."

Paradis says she first met the soap star about 15 years ago, while editing an unofficial fan Web site.

The pair became friends, then developed a casual working relationship when Paradis moved to LA to be closer to her idol.

Paradis moved back home to Connecticut when the relationship went sour.

“I haven’t heard from her in over a year and a half, and all of a sudden this pops up,” she says.

Paradis maintains that she purchased the domain before moving to LA.

“I did it all with her permission. I was never paid to run the Web site or the fan club, or any of that. She always considered that a gray area.”

The Susan/John/Kristen/Marlena secret room saga of summer 1997 was my life that summer!

We miss you James E. Reilly!

During and after the OJ Trial Days was the ONLY soap to increase viewers. The possession storyline brought in 3-4 million additional viewers. All the other soaps were faltering. That's why we had silly clone Reva on GL and all those nutso sci/fi type stories. It worked on Days because it was Marlena, who had wrecked her marriage to Roman by cheating with John and being susceptible to possession. Yeah, her turning into a cougar(!) and sending the swarm of bees was over the top but once you started watching you couldn't stop. Dee was a hoot and ran with it.

I am not sure anyone is disputing the must-see camp of DOOL during that time - I think the argument revolves around Dee's acting skills.

DAYS was the gayest soap on TV during the Reilly era (93-98). It was so camp and over the top that it made the other soaps look "normal".

I was just watching old YouTube clips of Vivian dressed as a nurse in a blond wig and a syringe and walking around Salem Hospital purposely killing Carly's patients with a big ass syringe of cleaner fluid in her hand!

Oh James Reilly!

I hated Reilly's approach to a lot of longtime DOOL characters -- basically, he reduced their IQ by about 50 points each, and Marlena was the biggest victim -- but I can't deny that he knew how to work the soap structure.

R57 Umm there was no Eileen on Days until she became evil and Deeva was her foil. In her winning Emmy reel, Deeva plays very well against ED.I'm a big ED/Kristen fan but that whole Kristen/Marlena/John triangle made the Kristen charcter what she was. Without Marlena, ED was just another soap madwoman, especially in the 90s.

I know people love-to-hate on Kristian Alfonso...... but I had a delightful, old-school interaction with her, around 2004. Encountered her in a retail setting, and let my '80s DAYS-freak Flag fly. Sure, I loved Bo & Hope...... but, Shane & Kimberly were MY THING/favorite couple. And I said that!

She went OFF. Yes! Shane & Kim were the BEST! They were her favorite couple, too -- "I loved their story!" She said that pretty much every female on the show had a massive crush on Charles Shaughnessy, especially the "girls" (Kristian, Missy Reeves, Lisa Trusel). "He was SO dreamy! We ALL had a crush on Charlie!! I still have a crush on him!" She also said that was her favorite period of the show -- when Bo, Hope, Shane & Kimberly were all intertwined together.

Susan Seaforth Hayes said in her bio that she and Brenda Benet had been friends when they were both starting out in the acting business in the early 1960s. However, Susan betrayed Brenda's trust and their friendship fell apart.

In 1979, Days hired Brenda to play Lee Carmichael opposite Bill Hayes' Byron Carmichael (eventually revealed to be Doug's twin brother). Doug and Julie were separated at this point, so after Byron died and left his money to Doug, Lee started trying to cozy up to Doug. Eventually Doug and Lee married.

SSH says in the book that she was extremely jealous of Brenda being paired with her husband, Bill. She said that she wanted to be the only one playing opposite Bill and would have been gotten territorial with any actress playing her husband's love interest. The fact it was Brenda just made it worse because of their history.

SSH said after Julie and Doug were reunited on screen, she calmed down and realized how horribly she had behaved toward Brenda. She made a point of apologizing and hashing it out with Brenda a few months before the suicide.

I was reading an old People magazine interview with Agenes Nixon, creator of All My Children and One Life to Live, online from the mid 70s and it mentioned that everyday at 1 pm she would watch Days of Our Lives, to "keep up with the competition " and because "she genuinely likes the show "

But she didn't watch All My Children, HER show at the time. I always thought that was odd

Oh the ways Nixon and Bill Bell would compete with one another in the 70's!

Kay Chancellor was the rich drunk on Bell's Y &R and then we had Phoebe Tyler on AMC follow suit.

Leslie Brooks had a nervous breakdown on Y&R and then so did Erica on AMC(and Alice on AW too) in 974-75.

Margo Flax had a face lift on AMC and then so did Kay Chancellor on Y&R.

Actually Erica was the forerunner of Rachel Davis on AW. Nixon had the bible for AMC written before she took the hw gig on AW. She knew an obstacle needed to come between heroine Alice and Steve and Rachel - based on Lisa from ATWT (Irna's creation) was brought in the story to marry Russ and upset the Matthews household. Erica and Julie did have a lot of similar aspects. Their selfishness and feelings of abandonment were prominent, even though Julie had rich parents who seemed to want to dump her on her grandparents.

I get the feeling that Dee is an introvert who gets overwhelmed at all the fan adoration and attention and doesn’t particular care for it, but puts up with it because she’s a professional. She also won’t slap her name on to anything for a quick buck, like some of her peers. And I love the fact that she and Jane Elliot, two women who couldn’t be more different, are BFFs after all these years. I also liked the fact that, while she preferred working with Wayne, she knew that the fans preferred Drake and ran with it.

To sum it up, I think that Dee has a clear sense of who she is and this business and has survived because she has remained consistent.

I'm going to slightly disagree with this. Dee was basically the replacement for Laura. Marlena and Don were very popular, but Marlena really didn't become THE Marlena until they paired her with Roman and then they put her in that Salem Strangler story and that's when she became the star. Julie was still very much the queen bee until that point. I think Julie's last big story was probably the facial burn. Then they SORASed Hope. When Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell came on board SSH and BH were pretty much done.

SSH must have been pissed when they SORASed David in the 70s, but she survived that. She didn't survive SORASing Hope.

Fun Fact: Hope has a huge trust fund from Addie. I guess it's collecting interest somewhere because she never uses it.

[quote]I think Julie's last big story was probably the facial burn.

That was a good storyline, the one that lead to Doug and Julie divorcing and Doug subsequently marrying his brother's widow, Lee.

But the Hayes also had a good storyline in 1980-81 when Doug and Julie got back together. Julie pretended to be over Doug and agreed to serve as interior decorator (?) for the house Doug was fixing up for Lee, but their feelings for each other resurfaced soon after.

Doug and Julie could have survived SORASing Hope if they'd had broken them up and get back together multiple times over the years. It worked for Victor and Nicki on Y&R. Could have worked on Days if written properly.

Plus there were numerous other stories they could have told. Julie could have gotten pregnant. They could have dealt with the fact that Doug was the biological father of Robert LeClaire's adopted son, Dougie.

Doug and Julie were the face of the show in the 1970s. They're the ones who made the cover of Time magazine in 1976. And by 1984, they were gone! Can't believe the show treated them so shabbily.

Incidentally, it was Brian Frons who insisted the show emphasize the younger set at the expense of the older characters.

She didn't blow anybody. She has top billing because Days has always credited their cast by seniority. The only exceptions have been Mac Carey who always got the star billing. Frances Reid who got star billing after Mac at some point in the 80s. Wayne Northrup got the "with" billing and Deidre Hall got the "and" billing for their big returns in the early 90s. I think GH credits by seniority also.

R214 Actually, no.

Erica was created around 1964-1965 by Agnes Nixon, but Proctor & Gamble passed on All My Children. Months later they asked her to take over as head writer of Another World, and Erica was her inspiration for the creation of Rachel there.

Julie was long after either of those heaux had emerged from Agnes' brain.

Erica Kane is much better as a strictly comedic character than a dramatic one. I always sensed that Lucci played the whole thing tongue and cheek and as such probably deserved more credit than she got, acting wise. Not that I think she's any great shakes as an actress, but she seemed in on the joke, unlike someone like Dee or Kim Zimmer who seemed to be completely oblivious to the absurdity of their characters' behavior.

by Anonymousreply 231May 14, 2018 2:52 PM

R231 Umm you re wrong. Dee was great in the demonic possession story line and got the camp value. Also in the 90s the whole Kristen vs Marlena rivallry worked because of Deeva. No matter what she claims she did good work during JER's camp era. Looch would have been totally lost on JER's Days.

by Anonymousreply 232May 14, 2018 3:05 PM

I actually don't think Lucci played it tongue in cheek. I think she revered and adored Agnes that she gave 110% to everything and played it dead seriously. However, she was such a lousy actress, she could never believably pull off serious drama.

by Anonymousreply 233May 14, 2018 3:28 PM

Lucci was good at light drama, the kind of hair tossing vapidity that a young Erica would have done to escape what she saw as her dull beginnings. But more advanced drama was not her forte.

Dee was a decent actress in the beginning - I remember when Marlena's baby died of SIDS. But that was years before she had to do the silliness required of her since the 80s.

by Anonymousreply 234May 14, 2018 3:36 PM

During JER’s tenure, Dee was making an unheard of salary. The show was #2 overall and #1 in all the demos and her storylines were some of the most talked about in daytime or primetime. The problem was daytime had this snobbery about JER and his stories and Dee got caught up in that. And at the same time GH was doing those gritty and heart tugging Labine stories, so neither Dee, nor Days, had any real shot of getting recognized except with the SOAPYs or whatever they were called and other fan driven awards shows.

Remember how NBC would show the awards show with a primetime episode of Days. Those truly were the days. Emmys are subjective anyway. Two of the best actresses to ever appear on soaps never got Emmys. The Emmys were just as much a popularity contest as were the SOAPYs, just in a different way.

Dee didn’t just have her salary cut, she is making a fraction of what she made back then. But then, no one is making what they used to make, except Maurice Benard and Steve Burton over at GH.

I don’t believe that Dee was pissed at Ali Sweeney. I do believe that someone planted that story because nothing gets buzz like pitting two women against each other.

JER wrote for both Lucci and her daughter Liza Huber

JER was in the writing staff as a script writer on AMC in the early 80s and according to him, Agnes gave him.permission to flesh out the Opal Gardner (Dorothy Lyman) character and write her dialogue, so JER was already doing comedic camp

Years later, JER would create Passions and Liza Huber was an original cast member as Gwen Hotchkiss

Ah the scourge of late-stage dementia, r343.

Flannery never came across as bunch to me.

You're so right, R347. Flannery is a vision of femme beauty and softness.

Was Deidre's hubby gay?

Which one? She's had four (that's half as many as Liz Taylor's eight but still).

When Marlena marries John for what...the 6th time...will she wear white and a veil? She's a GREAT Grandmother for crissakees.

I remember Deidre Hall from Electra Woman & Dyna Girl back in the late 1970's.

Apparnetly, Dierdre was in her late teens when she was on Electra Woman and Dyna Girl

Dee? She's only about 45 years old. She lied about her age to ahead in Hollywood.

At her peak she seemed to yield slightly more power on her show than Lucci, that was probably because she was married to Sohmer, who was president of Columbia Studios and had influence. I can't help but think as a couple they were partly the inspiration for the Seinfeld NBC chief Russell Dalrymple character who had the wife named Cynthia.

She still has a great body. Probably helped by never giving birth

I've always assumed that Dierdre's personality is Brendad Ickson adjacent...

she's a GILF

I recall seeing Dee and Steve on a talk show with their surrogate and Steve looked very much the third wheel as Dee and her knocked up pal held hands the entire time.

Suck it hard, Dee!

Her best acting was during the affair storyline in 1993 and early 1994.

A reanimated wax statue OP.

Some feel Deidre and Wayne lacked romantic chemistry - and that they only had chemistry when they were fighting.
