OLTL: Adrianna as Dorian’s daughter ATWT: Lucinda and James Stenbeck having an earlier affair which resulted in a pregnancy.

I think the introduction of Lucinda gave her a rival, competitor, sparring partner- like a Dorian and Viki - even though the writing never kept up with these ladies. Also, I don’t think Lisa ever had the cruel streak that Lucinda could exhibit.

I feel for her kids, but not her. Her politics are awful and she would celebrate anyone else going to prison for crimes her husband was convicted of.

Martha Bryne’s husband was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

2025 is not starting well. She was wonderful as Monica.

It is false to claim abortion rights is a losing issue- in states like Ohio and Missouri, abortion rights have been enshrined in their constitution. As one who has supported Democrats since I turned 18 with my labor and money, I would not support any concessions on abortion. Abortion is not why Dems lost and to say otherwise is ignoring how popular the issue is with all people. To hell with evangelicals and their ilk.

Holden fled to New York after he discovered Aaron was his son he wanted to discuss the issue with Seth when he got hit by a car. I think Marcy and Linc broke up over all her lies.

Gutted about President Biden. I haven’t worked on a presidential campaign in decades but will do so now. I am going to do what I can to help democrats keep the White House (hopefully Kamala).

It’s interesting that now that Byrne has had some blowback from her maga tweet that she followed with a story of how Hubbard was yelled at by a fan for going to DC to support the ERA and that the two had differences but still were close. Right or wrong, my appreciation of an actor or singer or whatnot can be influenced by their views. As a huge Hubbard fan it makes me really glad she seemed to have liberal views. I remember when she returned after a brief hiatus in 1999 and was in a rehab place. There was a scene where she seemed to make sure the camera viewed a book she had in her suitcase written by Gore Vidal. Lucy was a Democrat and no one will convince me otherwise😇

Thanks for sharing. I loved Sam and Lucinda’s relationship and I had no idea Sam was always part of the story. I just assumed she was added later.

Finally took the time to watch the Locher room celebration of Elizabeth Hubbard. It was lovely. While I would have liked to hear from other actors she shared screen time with like Bryggmann, Hensley, or Wiggin, I think Bryce and Byrne did a great job and allowed for more of an intimate portrait of Hubbard. My favorite anecdote was from Bryce when he said Hubbard would come back from vacation and they would find a 6’4 man with a foreign accent drinking coffee and she met him Africa. Make me wish they had incorporated something like that for Lucinda. Hubbard will always remain a favorite of mine. She was interesting, she acted in an interesting manner, she lived an interesting life. I think the phrase, “they don’t make them like they use to,” works here. She stood out like Robin Strasser, or Beverly McKinsey or Eileen Fulton. There is just something about these actors that made their shows interesting.

Just a FYI, but Scott Bryce and Martha Byrne will join Alan Locher to pay tribute to Elizabeth Hubbard on August 16 at 3 pm.

Paolo Serganti was a fabulous find. He made Lily slightly better for a few episodes. I cannot help imagining what type of chemistry he and Melanie Smith could have created.

The writing for Craig was so awful. Recasts happen but the writers just spit on his history for the reason of what? Showing Craig as a supposed “strong” man? I loved his relationship with Lucinda - love, hate, attraction, etc. They bring him back and he has people poison her to get Worldwide. WTH was that? She wanted him in her company - a more nuanced approach could have been his getting her to crown him king and keep the Walsh/Montgomery clan intact.

This is a beautiful tribute thank you. I loved this actress. I can’t put into words how her character has stayed with me throughout the decades.
