Frank Grillo & Wendy Moniz Divorce
In this "life imitates art" here are a few of the Dinah / Hart break-up scene on Guiding Light during the Dinah/Hart/Cassie triangle - as their real-life portrayers ( Frank Grillo and Wendy Moniz) announce they are divorcing after almost 20 years together

Liz, I usually remember GL plots but a lot of that was during the writers' strike and it got confusing.
But I do know they became friends before the Sonni/Solita business (a shared dislike of Reva, for one) and there's a glorious scene of Sonni seeking Alexandra's forgiveness after the whole Solita business.
by Anonymous | reply 9 | May 23, 2020 6:53 PM |
Yes they became friends due to the mutual Reva hate. Sonni confided in Alexandra all the time.
When Sonni and Roger were together and trying to solve the mystery of whether Beth was still alive (a great use of all characters btw), did Sonni break up with Roger because they did find out Beth was alive and Roger wanted to help cover it up causing Sonni to question whether being with Roger was good for her? Did Sonni actually think about covering up the fact Beth was alive?

Today at the grocery store where I work, a woman came in wearing a "Loving" tee shirt. I asked her if her shirt was from the soap opera and she said indeed it was and that she starred on the show for 12 years. This famous soap star also stated that she was doing a virtual cast reunion. I, of course know all of this, I tell her that I never watched Loving, that my shows were GL and AW but that my grandmother watched Ryan's Hope and possibly Loving. This actress then told me that she was also on RH. So we continued talking; I learned that she and her grandmother watched AW and that is when she knew she wanted to star on a soap. So when she was cast on RH she called her grandmother and asked her to watch, to which her grandmother replied, no, that's not not my channel! Classic! So today I met Lauren Marie Taylor. Who knew?

While the Hart/Cassie pairing sucked, Frank was happy to be out of the Hart/Dinah story since he'd up til then spent over a year being her personal wrangler on the set. While they were together in real life, he wanted a chance to show his acting chops free of the appendage known as Wendy Moniz. She had a harder time with it than he did, and was prone to fits of rage and jealousy on set.
From a fan perspective, it made no sense since DIRT were one of the more believable couples on the show, especially when you compare that to Hart/Cassie. Even physically it was a joke.

Casting director Betty Rea saw Sherry at a SUNY Purchase showcase and was blown away. She went straight to the producers and said you had to hire this girl, If you don't have a role, create one. She is that good. ( the producer was Robert Calhoun who had hired Julianne Moore when he was EP at ATWT)
Years later when Sherry was a big star on ER, she returned the favor by presenting the lifetime achievement award to Betty Rea at Soap Opera Digest Awards - Thanks Betty for giving her that first job, when she had NO experience

She was very good in her first year or so, and certainly, physically, looked the most like a child of Jerry and Maeve would actually look.

If you read Byran Cranston book he devotes a HUGE part of the book about his time on Loving - he says out of everything he has done (Breaking bad, Macolm, Emmy & Tony awards) all of that doesn't compare to his time on Loving. That was the singular most important work he has ever done. This is Bryan Cranston writing this!
He is still good friends to this day with James Kiberd (ex-Trevor All My Children) and John O'Hurley (Seinfeld) whom he met on the show.

All that history; Lujack, Beth (unnamed, which was interesting), Reva's marrying all the different Lewis men....

As I have said many many times here before:
Some long time GL fans think Pam Long is the REASON for the change; CBS wanted GL to be GH, and it was only the strength of Pam Long pushing back re the Bauers that we had as many left as we did.
If "TPTB" had their way the Bauers would have been wiped out. (That sentiment never really went away: see under Bauer, Maureen, date of death 1993)

I always knew that the show found Mary Kay Adams when she auditioned for the role of Beth's cousin India Raines. But I was surprised to hear that Kristi Ferrell was discovered at that same time when she also auditioned for India Raines.
Ferrell said she and Mary Kay did so well, they decided to create two characters out of the one. Thus we got India Von Halkien and Roxie Shayne, neither of whom were related to Beth.
And then a year later, they brought in Beth's cousin Jessie Matthews (played by Rebecca Stabb) and her mother Calla (played by Lisby Larson) .

Gregg Marx was a tough act to follow -- and Scott Holmes proved Marxx was actually an impossible one to follow.
Holmes played Tom more pompous than Don Stewart played Mike Bauer.
When it was clear that Henry Lange had pulled the trigger on himself and framed Caleb for his killing, Tom decided to let the law decide ...everyone was giving him props for not going for the win. PLEASE!
And there's no way Tom should have prosecuted Barbara for James' murder given; all Jessica would have to do is go to the judge and say the defendant dumped the d.a. at the altar to marry the decedent.

In the reunion, Ellen seemed a lot like Margo, but Scott did NOT seem a lot like Tom. It confirmed my suspicions that "Uptight Tom" was more a product of the writing and direction than of Holmes himself. No, I don't think Holmes could have played Marx's "Romantic Tom," but I do think he could have played Justin Deas' "Shambolic Tom." A return to writing the character as a well-meaning but semi-dysfunctional victim of divorce and war would have been more of a challenge for Holmes and more satisfying for viewers.
And OMG, when Scott was talking about Benjamin Hendrickson's impersonation of Helen Wagner's walk... "the hand waving behind the back"... Can't you just see it?

Why did someone say Michael O'Leary left the room (implying on purpose) when Krista Tesreau was giving the updates on Judi Evans. I don't see them having much of an issue. He said something like "It's terrible" and I believe he is the one who said her son also died before walking away to do something.
When Judi gets well they could have a 4 Muskateers Reunion with the originals. Though I will say this- Beth and Mindy never seemed to be friends during Judi's time except around the time Mindy married Kurt. It was more Beth Chamberlin and Kimberely Simms' Beth and Mindy who were really close.

I understand Alan probably wants to keep it nice and easy and not get into a situation where anyone is shitting on costars or getting too ugly about the people that ran the show(s) but he can strike a bit of a balance.

"Holmes played it so pompous."
He had a very Shatnerian delivery that he would slip into when playing Tom, which was fine when Tom was in the courtroom, but when he was not, it was like: "And if HAL... and his lovely wife, BARBARA... don't like the WAY... we choose to raise our SON..."
But the writing sure didn't help, because after Holmes took over the role, Tom was pretty much always written as a self-righteous a-hole (though even Tom paled in the self-righteous a-hole department when compared to Jack and Late Holden).

Yes, R177, that is definitely part of the story. The Harley disguise thing was so lame that he definitely would have seen through it. (As he states, they changed it so Philip had an eye infection to explain why he didn't, and Harley's disguise wasn't as much of a "fat suit".)
But Weekly came out with a news item that looked more like what Anthony Langford is saying. Soon after, Digest had a piece with several of his female co stars, to refute the point that it wad the show's actresses in his story that forced the issue.
Ehlers, Chamberlin, Liz Keifer and I believe, one or two others came to his defense, but CC did not.
To be sure, Grant was being vocal about bad changes at GL that we ALL saw. I don't think he was ever an asshole for assholism's sake. He had, as I said earlier, Conboy's ear - they'd worked together at Capitol and he saw Conboy as a strong producer like Rauch. But Wheeler clearly did not see eye to eye with him. And CC and Wheeler seem to have been pal-sy through her entire run (it was Wheeler who OK'd the Otalia story).
by Anonymous | reply 178 | June 3, 2020 3:49 PM |
PS: I suspected then, as I still do now, that Grant was not acting up any more or less than, say, Zimmer, and that the intention was never to have Grant off canvas as long as they did.
P&G and/or CBS and Wheeler probably thought they could "spank" a highly paid actor who was misbehaving and then get him to return at a lower salary. That didn't happen as they planned - you can tell by the weird ending where Alan said Phillip was alive but none of it was ever shown on camera!
Grant probably did take an enormous cut to return at the end, but he did that because he wanted to resolve things with his character, and because he liked Jill Lorie Hurst and stipulated that she would guide the Phillip's return story. And the budget was SO tight by then they had to fire poor John Driscoll just to get GA back.

Alan’s great but he sucks at follow up questions. Justin Deas told a story about British actress Samantha Eggar showing up at ATWT and was seemingly unaware the 20 pages she had to learn were all being done that day, not over a number of days, like in a film or in primetime. There’s nothing about her on ATWT online so I suspect they immediately had to replace her. Why the fuck didn’t Alan ask Deas what character she was playing? According to Wiki and IMDb the only daytime credit she had was a “brief” appearance as Anna Devane’s mother on AMC.

The Sonni who came to Springfield truly was Sonni. She thought she was her twin Solita, but Sonni had let Solita take the rap for something she had done as children and then Solita killed herself.
For a long time, we were led to believe (I think) that the real Sonni had died after falling off the bridge. But she hadn't.
I thought it ingenious to pair Forbes with Zaslow after Josh and Reva reunited. She had his number and once he realized she was a step ahead of him, he set her up to take a fall. So, Sonni left town. What a tragic soul. This sounds odd, but I hope she found happiness.

I have to say I really enjoyed the Cooper family chat on The Locher Room. Beth Ehlers seems like a genuine person and there seems to be great affection all around. I was never a big fan of how they took over the show but it was nice to see how much they liked and respected each other.

I always loved the Coopers and didn't mind Buzz(most of the time) but aren't there lots of stories about Beth being a bitch

From what I understand, Beth Ehlers is for the most part well liked, and was fine in her earlier run, but the bitch came out after she and Rob Bogue were slated to get together and then Rob got cold feet about leaving his wife at the last minute. And then she just became a big sourpuss, as described in Zimmer's book.
Weirdly, she fell for both men who played Mallet.

Aunt Liz, darling, are you still with us?
Are our Bay City denizens still here? Just checking in to see if you're all comfortable.
Vivien, get them some tea and stop talking to the plants!

I wonder if Ehlers goes after married men in her new job in NJ government.

A Cooper family reunion is incomplete without Jean Carol aka Nadine Cooper Lewis!

They talked about her, R218. They said nice things. I never cared for her in the role. She was too LA, blonde hair and big teeth. I think they could have found someone better who could have gone toe to toe with Justin Deas. If Zimmer wasn’t already Reva she would have made a great Nadine.

I didn't watch the whole thing but what was the other role that Fiona mentioned that was a 3 yr contract?

She didn’t name the character. I thought it was cute that she had a choice of testing for one contract role or starting right away in the then non contract role of Jenna, the cat burglar. And she chose the one who wouldn’t have to cry. Although I think Jenna ended up crying a fair amount.

The contract part was Eve Guthrie which was cast with Hilary Edson

Eve auditioned at GL circa 1983 probably for Beth or Mindy.
She wasn't cast, but they hired her to do day player or extra work at the prom.
She's beautiful; you can see her in the background.

I mean Hillary Edson who played Eve auditioned for either Beth or Mindy.
Here she is in the prom episode at 7:52.
I don't get why they killed off Eve; she had long term potential.
