Elders, can we talk about Miss Frances Reid?

DOOL & classic TV fans in the know: were Frances Reid and Philip Bourneuf in a lavender marriage?

Married for 39 years, only to divorce. They had no children.

I've always gotten a soft lesbian vibe from her, like Josephine Hudson or Spring Byington.

"Why I won't bump pussies with Miss Frances Reid" by Deidre Hall

OP clearly is cruising to have a bunch of doughnuts stuffed down her throat.

In the late ‘90s, my sister and I went into an AOL “Days of Our Lives” chat room and started a rumor that Frances Reid had died basically because we were bored. The rumor was still going strong for days afterwards and I felt a little guilty about it. But was also inculcated early on with the fact that people can just lie on the internet and there are zero repercussions.

Frances last several more years after that.

Sot lesbians?

Spring had callouses on her wrist from fisting me.

I have vague memories of watching Days in the 1990s in college, but one thing I remember clearly was Frances have to say the line: "Bo has a deep and abiding love for Hope," and she said it in the same false, canned way that Deirdre Hall and Jaclyn Smith would deliver most of their lines.

Fra lived in Brentwood, and was a superb cook. She viewed the actresses on her show as her 'daughters'. Mac Carey was of the opinion she looked too old for him when Days started, but the joke was at one point Alice was in danger of being a Great Great Great Grandmother when Rick Hearst played Scotty Banning, and there was talk of his character impregnating someone.

That's some Dennis the Menace shit, if Dennis dialed the phone with a pencil.

Who knew other people's boredom was a cause of death?

OP, do you mean Josephine Hutchinson or did Blanche and Jane have a third sister we don't know about? :)

Frannie's all-girl pool parties in Brentwood were notorious.

She attended several Dykes on Bikes meetings I was at.

by Anonymousreply 16January 30, 2023 7:51 PM

Let's just say that, IRL, she preferred muffins over doughnuts.

Not to be confused with that other Frances Reid, lesbian documentary film director-producer.

Always wondered about Peggy McCay. Began as Vanessa Dale on :"Love of Life" in the 50s. From 1985-2016, Caroline Brady on DOOL. Never married.

Susan Brown is another. Terrific actress, never married. Dated Dick Sargeant. Or was that Emily MacLaughlin?

My friend once ran into Peggy McKay in a gas station convenience store! He is a huge DOOL fan and almost died. He said she couldn’t have been nicer.

Many rumors about Dee and bestie Jane Elliot doing the lezlez.

Jane is strictly dickly but Dee has long been rumored to prefer the punani. Her marriage to that network exec was all business....he certainly did not father her children (as we all know from the movie).

by Anonymousreply 27January 31, 2023 7:18 PM

I know she has rumors. I've read her threads on here, but it's just someone randomly saying she's a lesbian. Never any inside info or anything.

by Anonymousreply 28January 31, 2023 7:23 PM

R25 You have eyes? Shocking. So do you think every feminine woman is a lesbian, then? Since you have eyes.

by Anonymousreply 29January 31, 2023 7:24 PM

You're right. None of us have personally seen her fingers inside Sue Flannery's trout mouthed bass.

by Anonymousreply 30January 31, 2023 7:24 PM

Saying Jane Elliot is strictly dickly is like saying Judith Chapman is a subtle performer.

by Anonymousreply 31January 31, 2023 7:30 PM

R31 Jane is not a lesbian. Sorry to disappoint.

In a 1968 interview Frances referred to herself and Phillip as "gypsies," who owned five homes at the time. They had more than house in Brentwood. There were two houses on one lot. She said they'd sometimes let "showfolk" stay in the second one. The latest purchase was just four blocks away. The other two homes were in San Francisco, and Bucks County (très gay in '68!).

Dee Dee Halls is a dyke?

Next thing you'll be telling me is that Maureen Garrett is a lesbian!
