Hard to tell, but certainly more of Quint and Nola, hopefully more of the Reardon family.

Perhaps Carrie would have been cured and then settled down with Ross.

We would have seen a different pairing for Vanessa. She may have remained a bit more bitchy and combative, more of the Donna Love of Springfield that she was in the beginning.

But....would we have seen the Four Musketeers? Maybe Phillip and Rick would have been aged, certainly, but we may not have had Beth or Mindy.

Kim Zimmer was mesmerizing actress. There is a reason why that fountain scene is a part of soap opera legend. There is a reason why she was front and center on GL for so long. You cannot blame an increase in ratings due to her departure. GL was dreadful from mid-85 to late 87. It took a long time for viewers to sample it again. Even Roger fucking Thorpe (and Beth Raines) coming back in 1989 didn’t move ratings much. Viewers were skeptical.

by Anonymousreply 135January 16, 2022 7:25 AM

R135 Funny thing is, in all those years I never really heard much talk about ratings. GL was never #1 again as it had briefly reached in 1984, but it was always a solid performer in the middle of the list, usually at #5 in the ratings.

And yes, as much as some of the last bits of GL were terrible, it still pales, I think, to the mess that happened after Pam Long left the first time. The Infinity story, the Sampson Girl contest, the Valere murder mystery where a few people no one gave a fuck about were killed - some of that was just abysmal. Part of the reason Zimmer was practically handed the show is - and let's give respect where due - she kept GL going storywise when a lot of other things were terribly written or fell flat. Reva and Kyle was really the only thing working at the time.

Roger and Holly returning was great for long term story but at the point Blake and then Holly were back, nearly 10 years had gone by since their last appearance - so I can see why the ratings boost wasn't huge and immediate.

Larkin Malloy had two very successful soap roles after EON, while Sharon Gabet could never really duplicate her EON success. No one else in the final EON cast, maybe except for Charles Flohe and Marcia Cross, had post-EON success in daytime. Of course, half the cast would drop dead from AIDS over the next few years, so probably had an impact.

Britanny on AW was deaf for the first 4 months or so. They tried to make her a foil in the Sally-Caitlin romance, but she was merely a blip on the radar. Even Sharon Gabet couldn't come between the incredible chemistry of Mary Page Keller and Thomas Ian Griffith.

So, they moved Brittany into the Love family orbit and eventually she married Peter Love. However, he was psychologically abusive of her to the point Brittany went on trial for attempting to murder Peter.

After Sally was killed in a car wreck (stupid decision), the writers put Brittany and Caitlin together again. When their contracts were up, they left town together.

It didn't help that Brittany had (a) a terribly unflattering 80s hairstyle that made Gabet look 10 years older than she had on EON and also made her look (b) exactly like Lady Eyes-a-Buggin in many scenes, especially from the side or back.

Yes, that was a horrid hairstyle on Rachel. The most unflattering of the many styles she had over the years.

Gabet wore it a little better than Wyndham, but just barely. It was not a flattering look on anyone; not sure how it ever became so popular.

Viki Sleastak on OLTL also had a similar hairstyle during that mid 80s period. It only served to make La Sleastak look even more dowdy and matronly than ever and seemed to add about 20 years to her appearance. She was about 40 in real life but looked about 60 with that hairstyle.

Sharon Gabet would have been great as Rachel's half sister Pammy Davis (Gerald Davis' daughter by another marriage).

by Anonymousreply 217January 21, 2022 7:22 PM

Mac fucking another younger woman with dubious intentions. It would've been a Janice redux. The fact is by 1985, Mac and Rachel were played out as a star-crossed couple. The show knew they were iconic and the face of increasingly unrecognizable AW, so TPTB wisely maneuvered them into patriarch and matriarch of the show, and drew conflict from their Amanda, Iris, etc. They pretty much served the same purpose as Victor/Nikki on Y&R do now.

As I recall, when Edge ended in Dec 1984, OLTL was offering her a role as a villainess connected to some storyline that was going on remote to Venice. She was going to be some sort of Countess and would have been paired with Bo Buchanan. Whoever they cast in the part was wrong for it and the character was written out quickly. In an interview a few years later, Sharon said she would have made the part work. the character (whatever he name was) was certainly written to Shjaron's strengths.

Sharon said she opted for AW instead because it was a P&G show and she felt P&G had been good to her during her 7+ years as Raven. She knew the role was not clearly defined going in, but assumed the writers would write to her strengths. Instead, the writers made Brittany a victim by making her deaf. Plus they had her try to come between the show's supercouple Sally and Catlin (the Bo and Hope of AW) . Yikes! Victim is not Sharon's strength. Vixen is! Cards were stacked against her from the get go.

So yes, she was the Tangie Hill of AW.

by Anonymousreply 220January 21, 2022 9:17 PM

Sharon finally did get to OLTL as Melinda Kramer, but she was pretty blah and they really gave her nothing to do. I could swear she was also in talks to join AMC immediately after Edge ended, but that went nowhere. I can't imagine who she would've played there around 1985/1986. The show already had plenty of youngish leading ladies in Sharon's age range at the time: Erica/Brooke/Natalie/Donna/Angie/Cynthia/Ellen/Nina.

I would probably say that Flannery, McKinsey, Hubbard are my other top actresses with Susan Haskell as the unheralded rounder up of the Top 5-

That being said- Yes! Slee's husband always seemed fucking gay to me. I am not 75, I am 43- but even back in the day- he seemed GAY.

We all know that Slee (and Lucci) are republicans. And probably the BETTER republicans.

But Slee's family always seemed very, very odd- even in Emmy Clips. They seem really, really- dreary. Sad almost.

There was something really weird there.

Slezak, despite having immense talent, was not exactly an exciting chick. She was always a classy grandmother.

R261 and R268 here. I would recommend that ANY artist watch Hubbard's and Byrne's Locher episode.

Byrne was clearly in AWE of Hubbard and Hubbard RAN that interview. It was amazing to witness how Hubbard thought and worked through her artistry. We all meet someone in our lives who is special (and a gift) and it was clear that Hubbard was that person.

And as an EXTREMELY casual ATWT fan (I was pure OLTL- an extremely different show) it amazed me what an amazing actress she was.

I would see those Daytime Emmy's back in the 80's and marvel at HUBBARD'S clips. Thats what made me watch during OLTL's commercials. (Did P&G have some different commercial patten?) Because it worked perfectly with OLTL's commercials.

Shit the clip on the Emmys that sealed me on Hubbard was something like-

Ambrose- Wait-Wait for it- Ciara is WAIT FOR IT- I will not stand for it- She w ants to allow- CRAIG- WAIT FOR IT AMBROSE, She wants to let Craig back into her life--- WAIT! If only I can get Iva on the phone !!!!! If I can only get Iva on this FUCKING PHONE.

This shit had to be 1988 or something and I was a little 11 year old gay boy

Liz was always real. Some of the actors around her were just hitting their marks but whether she was being dramatic or quiet (and yes she did have quiet moments, especially when Lily ran away after learning Iva was her mother), there was never a second of disbelief. She was that good.

Actually, the only time I didn't believe Hubbard as Lucinda was the whole oops Stenbeck and I had a baby together and I forgot. Even she couldn't quite sell that steaming pile of 💩.

Hope you all wished Dr. Kelly Nelson a happy birthday this weekend. I still think fondly of his dripping Speedo.

Don’t forget his glistening tootsies. God know Douglas M wore out his master tape of THAT episode.

Somewhere, there's a queen who still has a pair of John's high top sneakers.

Or Grant's high top sneakers. Or briefs, with steel reinforced pouch support.

I mean, they're still hot gentlemen but at age 67 (John) and 61 (Grant) maybe the days of pendulousness are behind us. 😭

And why not? Bitch likes to talk. And dish.

I really wish he’d get Kristi Ferrell back one more time, closer to the camera and a decent WiFi signal. I think if he had just her for a show she’d spill on her drug problem and how it affected her having to leave the show. She really was enormously popular as Roxie.

Yikes! We overlooked an important anniversary!

The 85th anniversary of the first radio broadcast of Guiding Light was on Tuesday.

First show aired on Jan. 25, 1937.

Donald May is DEAD TO ME.

He's best known for playing hero Adam Drake on Edge of Night from 1968 to 1977.

He also played patriarch Grant Wheeler on Texas in 1981-82. While there, he met and fell in love with Carla Borelli (Reena Dekker). The two married soon after Texas ended.

He also had short term roles on various other NYC based soaps.

This thread has been M'd, kids. We can certainly continue to use it, but I have also made a new thread for those who are not paid members.
