Members denzo30 Posted January 26, 2013 Members Share Posted January 26, 2013 wow. is this the way i respond? Watching the 1980 early episodes. Carol Shelley really did a great job of replacing Bev as Iris. I thought when I first saw her that she was too old for the role. Ironically, Bev is (was) actually older than Carol Shelley. maybe it was the blonder hair. In real life, both actress's are very close in age to doug watson. I guess back then, it was believable for Mack to be Daddy. I really did like Carmen Duncan as Iris but she was not the spoiled bitch. Duncan took over a more businesswan type of role which was not Iris. Just an FYI, if u want to purchase the DVDS off Eddie, it is classic to see Carol portraying Iris. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 Spencer Treat Clark (Steven Frame), who was so good in Unbreakable, has gone on to have a long career as an adult - he's done a couple Law and Orders and a lot of film, including the Last House on the Left remake with Garret Dillahunt. But I just spotted him the other day in the trailer for The Last Exorcism II - which I was going to see anyway, since I loved the first, sue me. What's really exciting, though, is that he is also featured in Joss Whedon's upcoming film of Much Ado About Nothing. Generally when an actor enters the Whedon stable they never leave, or lack for interesting work. He also grew up to be uncomfortably hot, but that's beside the point. His sister, Eliza, I remember from some semi-autobiographical webseries I stumbled across where she was pretty funny. What I didn't realize until much later is that she was actually one of the pre-Erin Torpey Jessica Buchanans on OLTL. Would that she could have taken the role from Bree Williamson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm happy to hear he's done so well. I remember him seeming like a good little child actor. Whedon is such a one trick pony I can't watch most of his stuff anymore but I'm glad for Clark. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I thought Shelley was somewhat hammy and not quite believable as Iris, until some of her last scenes, when she spoke with Mac and Rachel before leaving town. She really tapped into Iris in those moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 In any of the episodes that you've seen, does Bill Wolff announce that Beverlee is out due to illness and Carole's playing Iris? Poor Beverlee. I didn't know about her losing some of the functionality in her arm. And as far as the anesthesia thing is concerned, I don't know how the devil they handled her transplant. Well, I guess there had been medical advancements in those fifteen or so years. http://www.welovesoaps.net/2010/02/flashback-beverlee-mckinsey-1980.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I can't remember, but I don't think I ever saw a full episode with Carole. Just clips on a DVD. I miss Bev 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members denzo30 Posted February 2, 2013 Members Share Posted February 2, 2013 I agree. The later scenes were def more Iris but I thought the scene with her and Reena were so Iris. Her gossiping about Pat Randolph. I personally thought she did a great job at replacing Bev. I remember when she was on but of course I was in 6th grade. I thought she looked kind of old but as I said above, I winkepdia and Bev was older than Carol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
