DRW50

Maybe the last strong season finale the show had...although there's one with Paige going off in a car I think I liked? I can't remember.

Thanks @janea4old

I never knew that. I wonder if that type of personality affected her time, or character demise, on Knots. What did you think of her (or the movie)?

I finally found this one again - the fight between Siobhan and Jack at the end of this (with Mary slowly realizing what has been happening between her husband and sister) is one of my favorite soap scenes.

Jack was such a real character - funny, stern, warm, cold, tough, vulnerable. The softness under the bluster, with those Jack cared about, is what I will remember most fondly. Even as RH began to spin out of control around 1979-1981, I still never stopped caring about Jack the way I did some others. Michael brought all of his heart to the role. A truly unique character in a genre that increasingly became divided between generic heroes and "sexy" rapists. I will never forget how much the chemistry between Michael Levin and Sarah Felder blew me away - so raw, so exquisite that it almost hurt to watch. Jack and Siobhan will always, always be one of my "what might have been" pairings.

From what I've read, Pat was deeply upset, and this was the excuse given for her exit when they fired Beverly Penberthy.

1968. This was before there was a Daytime Emmys. It was the year Joan Bennett was nominated for Dark Shadows. Celeste Holm and Macdonald Carey were also nominated.

He seems to be on All Rise. I mostly just remember wishing somebody would give him a sandwich.

I don't know, that DC story telling me what a movie star Wilson Bethel would be sure came true... Years ago, the Emmys would sometimes just not give the award to anyone in the category. There would be no award given. I used to find this insulting. Now, I think it might not be such a bad idea.

Surprised he's making the leap to US TV after all these years. He's a beloved UK actor. I keep meaning to watch his other hit, Goodnight Sweetheart.

Thanks. I never knew that. Even with whatever happened with Lalla and Tom, those ads are adorable.

She has looked really bad for a while. I have some big Elvis fans in my family and they keep up with videos from Graceland and such, and whenever they talk about them they talk about how bad she looks, how she has no light in her eyes, and that her kids are often the same way. She's had a very traumatic life and is obviously in some type of constant pain. I hope she pulls through, for her kids and her mother, but most of all for herself.

There was certainly intensity there as well (Gabrielle was meant to be the more primal side of him while Megan was lighter) but I don't think JDP's Max was as fully consumed. I do think they tried to write some light stuff with Walker but he was just a very heavy performer.

I would say Walker and Fiona had very intense chemistry, and of a very different sort than she had with JDP. Yes, reading some of the comments on Youtube for the Bloss reveal video - claims that the story was based on Woody and Soon Yi (!) and Liz apparently saying that Sherry left because they didn't know how to write for Blake (which I can believe), it's even more of a marvel that they worked as well as they did.

Frank/Jill, Ryan's Hope - Daniel Hugh Kelly (#3) had very strong chemistry with Nancy Addison. It was never the same for me, but Jerry ver Dorn did eventually find chemistry with Liz Keifer after Sherry Stringfield left GL. Peter Simon had chemistry with both Ellens (Dolan and Parker) on GL.

@BetterForgotten @Bright Eyes @Vee At first I just watched this (which was brand new to me - not even mentioned on IMDB) as I saw that it has Shreela Ghosh, who played Naima (a fave of mine), but it's a genuinely very strong family drama. There are a number of other EE actors in it as well, including the woman who played Sanjay's mother in the late '90s.

He didn't tell her, no. He was desperate for another child. I thought the whole story was gross and cheap, and showed how directionless the writing was by that point.

@SFK Thanks for finding that. Bobbie Wygant's soap gems are always a treat, and what a true surprise to find more Beverlee McKinsey content. I had to laugh that she seemed to be in a bit of conflict with Bobbie right at the start.

I did find her work fascinating - very ethereal. I think she isn't more talked about because she wasn't on the show very much, and the wrapup to the Samantha story was rushed and poor. Another "oh we forgot to get rid of this character" moment, which the end of 1840 was full of.

I think they had a sex bet in the late '00s but never actually slept together.
