Members tune_in_tomorrow Posted April 7, 2017 Members Share Posted April 7, 2017 I agree with Watson71. I thought Gabet did a very good job when she came on the show, portraying a sympathetic character but with an edge. I think Brittany as a character was a great interloper in the triangle because she was layered - not a villain, not sugary sweet. Others are more knowledgeable about the writing changes but that era of AW was all over the place. Brittany alternated between villain and victim, married off to Peter, who changed from nice guy to villain with a recast, Thomas Ian Griffith seemed to check out as Catlin (in my opinion) once Mary Page Keller left, so Gabet really wasn't given much to shine in as time went on. I actually liked her Melinda on OLTL although I never saw the other actresses in that role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 7, 2017 Members Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'd like to see the material she played out when the character was deaf and mute. The only stuff I could find on YT was towards the end of her run on the show. It's been awhile since I checked. I should look again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 7, 2017 Members Share Posted April 7, 2017 Try the bmuz channel. I think there are a few partial episodes that have her in them. I'm not sure. I think there's one where she's with Zane. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 7, 2017 Members Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'll take a look. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 12, 2017 Members Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was watching a rerun of Facts of Life the other day. Playing one of Blair's many suitors was none other than Tom Eplin. The episode was from 1984 - I wonder if this guest spot got him noticed by NBC, since he was on AW the next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted April 13, 2017 Members Share Posted April 13, 2017 18 years ago today, NBC announced that it had cancelled Another World. 😡👎🏻😡 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 13, 2017 Members Share Posted April 13, 2017 I can't believe it has been nearly two decades already...and I remember when the announcement came down, too. I still miss the goings on of the folks in Bay City. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 The promo for AW was just about the most underwhelming one I've seen yet. How was THAT supposed to entice viewers into watching the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 Linda Dano's beautiful tears were probably the most compelling part. I didn't know she was in tragedienne mode even then. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 That's why I miss Linda Dano so much. No one could cry like her. She could cry beautifully one second and give you a good old ugly cry the next (i.e. when Jenna miscarried the baby & she was calling for help). Linda also needs to give a workshop on how actors should play drunks or alcoholics b/c I've never seen anyone play one as good as she did. Not on daytime or primetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah it often felt off with other characters but for some reason it always worked when she was playing Felicia. Her work during the Jenna story was just harrowingly good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 It really was. I find myself going to watch most of that arc on YouTube every few months b/c I am so mesmerized by Dano's work. I loved too how Lorna was hard on Felicia while Jenna (as annoying as ever) didn't wanna believe that her mother was a drunk. Their scenes in the cabin when Jenna finally realized the truth was one of the few times I felt for Jenna. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 She did an episode of that soap star reality show on SoapNet years ago. The wannabe actors had no clue of what greatness they were in the presence of. I absolutely agree that she gave the finest performance of an alcoholic on television, be it daytime or primetime. Jeanne Cooper is a distant second. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
