More notes from during the SN airings and comment or two from the SN forum See Richard Muenz Joe more as fisherman Joe and nearly all of his run dressing casually while Roscoe Born did not seem like a fisherman and when he arrived was businessman Joe and wearing suits. I've said this before-- Daniel Hugh Kelly's Frank seemed like he was born to wear a tux and I don't think Andrew Robinson's Frank would have been all that comfortable wearing them to the many functions in Frank's political future. Ilene Kristen as Delia in the short dress and Randall Edwards' Delia wore dresses below the knee. Both wore shawls. Ilene's Delia didn't wear Judith Coleridge's necklace while Randall's Delia wore it a lot. Delia had returned the necklace to Jill after they had words at Mary's wedding. Jill and Faith each wore it at least once. I figured it was kept in a safe at the Coleridge home -- so Delia had access to it again after she married Roger --but don't know why Randall's Delia was still wearing it after she and Roger separated and divorced. Jill's multiple rings on her fingers and multiple earrings were liked on the SN forum but some thought they inappropriate or unprofessional for a lawyer to wear when she was working. Faith Catlin's Faith and Catherine Hicks' Faith rarely wore jewelry (Catherine's Faith did wear the engagement ring and a necklace [a chain and then Judith's necklace] a couple times).Delia had even commented that Faith does not wear jewelery. Karen Morris Gowdy's Faith wore jewelry, necklaces, earrings, and rings right from when she first began (even wore the multiple rings on her fingers like sister Jill). Karen's Faith also wore nail polish which Faith's Faith & Catherine's Faith did not. I've mentioned this before that Randall and Catherine wouldn't have worked. Ilene and Catherine matched up well --as did Randall's Delia and Karen's Faith who were taller and fancier. It was a cute distinction between sisters that over the years Jill was given the gift of toe rings and Faith was given the gift of toe socks. Each were delighted and laughed out loud at the gift. (Jill said she would consider wearing them to work) Clem's earring was also very cool on the SN board. Added-- Randall Edwards s Delia looked gorgeous in her fur-- Ilene's Delia looked like a little girl playing dress up in her fur coat.

In those first episodes of Bess and Maggie it was said Jill was Jillian Elizabeth Coleridge and Ed was the one who suggested the name Jillian. In Ryan's kitchen, during Frank's campaign, where TV Interviewer Jeri Jerome said Maeve's name was Mary Maeve Colleary Ryan. A few months later, Maeve was telling the story of her first confession and the Mary Maeve was said then, too.

Finally got back to reading my old Soapnet notes (and later a few YouTube notes) Some more things I didn't remember- This was from when Max was looking at slides to get info on Jill in 1984l Jill went to the University of Michigan (and then Yale Law). Roger's full name was Roger Harlan Coleridge. Faith's name was harder to to make out -- looks like possibly Faith Lana or Faith Lara Coleridge. Judith's maiden was Grayson.

@DRW50 The things Faith said were vicious. Jill should have shut Faith up by telling Faith that she sounded like her mother. That might have made more sense if we later learned what Faith said were things Judith whispered in her ear while Faith was growing up. A life-long rivalry idea could have been good. I wondered if Judith got pregnant with Faith on purpose (doesn't seem that was the case) -- after she figured out Jill was Ed's child (which I thought she knew). Then have Judith foster a competition by pampering Faith, spoiling Faith, and also pushing little Faith to be Ed's favorite while Judith was ignoring, passing over, and brushing aside Jill and trying to get Ed to do the same. But that's not how it was It was clear from the beginning that Roger was the one Faith hated all her life though there were claims otherwise later on --like when married to Tom, Faith told Roger she loved him even when he was taunting her by telling her her dolls didn't like her. Also in the beginning Faith said she had a competitive relationship with Roger and that was one of the reasons she chose Neurology as her field. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the notes, characters would say Ed was Jill's father or say adopted father, but Jill and other would refer to Judith as her step-mother. That was the correct -- but only Maeve would know that until 1982. BTW- Does anyone who watched originally know the details of what Maeve says about why Ed kept it a secret even after Judith passed away? Or why Maeve still kept it a secret after Ed died?

I recently moved and going through old boxes with notes taken when watching the SN show airings and notes reading the SN forum over the years and I had questioned how old was Faith when Judith died. In 1976 -- Roger told Delia he was 10 when his mother died - -that means Jill was 11 and Faith was 5 (In 1977, Roger told Rae he was 5 years older that Faith and was 1 year younger that Jill.) In 1980, Faith recalled Roger getting in trouble when she was 16 and Judith not punishing him. In 1981, Faith tells Aristotle Benedict White the story of smoking cigarettes with Judith while they watched the film Now, Voyager -- she said she was 13 at the time. Back in 1977 when Miriam was introduced -- she tells Seneca that after Mrs. Coleridge died -- she brought up Jill and Faith --and did the best she could with Roger. That fits with the Coleridge kids being young when Judith died. A few weeks later, Jill and Miriam talk about Miriam moving in with the family for one summer ( Miriam sent her kids to stay with her sister down south) Jill said she was 11 or 12 at the time. It was the first time Jill felt like she had a mother. If Faith was older at the time, over 16, Jill would be 22 and Roger 21 or older -- it would be odd for Miriam to say she was raising Jill and Roger at that older age. Seeing how Jill felt about the Coleridge house never feeling like her home -- I always figured she moved out at 18. Several other things Faith mentioned over the years -- When Pat proposed to Faith -- she mentioned observing her parents marriage as a teenager (this would be before Miriam was introduced)-- recalling how Ed and Judith would sit in the parlor and discuss their day (I always thought it to be a cold and distant relationship but this conveyed there was some closeness between Ed and Judith ) and the parties they threw. Judith had a 4 minute egg every morning of her life. Some things I don't know if a kid of 5 (and younger), even as smart as Faith, would have picked up on.
