IDC what anyone says. I know all about the history of Steve, Alice and Rachel, or at least as much as I could know under the circumstances; and I STILL say having Alice become involved in a May/December relationship with the right actor as Jamie, if told slowly and carefully, would have been FIRE.
14 hours ago, vetsoapfan said:Well, Alice had known Jamie since he was born, first as her "nephew" when Russ believed Jamie was his son, and then as her own stepson. I think the "emotional incest" stygma might have prevented her from ever seeing Jamie in a romantic light. I still cringe when I think of Rick/Freddie and Blake/Chrissy hooking up on TGL, because of their step-sibling relationship. Even worse: Craig Montgomery bedding his stepdaughter Dani, whom he took care of as an infant, on ATWT.
I'll Have To Agree with Vet, It would Be as weird and disgusting as Ridge Wanting to Bed Bridget, A girl he once thought was his flesh and Blood, But if she was there at the Time What about Alice and Matt instead of Donna, I remember Jacqueline was still gorgeous at her Forties, I wish she didn't retire so soon, I could actually conceive a role for her in basically any soap Opera that existed at the time

Thanks for the link to the OLTL stuff.
From 1968, this material focuses on the wedding of Lenore Moore and Walter Curtin. Courtney appears as Alice.
This clip is erroneously titled as being from 1975 and 1974. It is not. It's from 1973 and 1974.
These are probably Courtney's best scenes from her ill-fated return (particularly the last one with Rachel).
thanks

Online, I’ve only seen the clip you have posted. The Paley Center in New York has the premier episode of “For Richer, For Poorer.” Amy and Austin are seen towards the end welcoming Rachel Cory for a visit.
oh gosh i wish i could see it, maybe if i visit the States someday

There are several important scenes available on YT, from Courtney's earlier run on AW. She's seen in eps/scenes from 1968, 1973 and 1974, which show how effective she was an actress. Alas, her return in 1984 was a disaster, but I blame incompetent writing for that. (There was one good scene between Alice and Rachel from her return, however, surrounding Rachel's amnesia.)
would you indicate me those scenes please? also as for OLTL as i think you're a JC fan, you might find it interesting the 1978 episode on the top of the playlist i left on that soap's thread got an scene of Her as PAT'S EVIL TWIN

Over aggrandizement and hero worship: yes. This succinctly describes the problem. And it is the worst among commentators who do not have full knowledge of or a complete grasp on the subject at hand. They think that their favorites must be the ultimate end-all, be-all actors, writers, producers, whatever, based on their own, personal hero-worship of these individuals.
The devotees of a certain orange-tinged politician come to mind.
No one actor, no one director, no one producer and no one writer will ever be exclusively responsible for a show becoming popular and surviving. We have all seen soaps survive, and even thrive, after some of their most important/popular team members depart.
Harding Lemay did great work (and made some mistakes) at AW, but that does not mean his reporting about the show's history represent the empirical reality. When Lemay took over the reigns of AW, I don't believe it was because the ratings were terrible under the previous scribe's pen. They weren't. So I'll focus on the years on quality that he brought to the series, and forgive his self-aggrandizing myths about raising the show's ratings.
By the way, I can't tell you how many youger fans have commented to me over the years, "Jacqueline Courtney was a terrible actress!"
I inwardly roll my eyes, but ask anyway, "Why do you say that?"
"Because Harding Lemay said so."
"Um, okay. What shows of Courtney's did you watch?'
"None. I've never seen more than a few minutes of her work on youtube, but I agree with Harding Lemay."
"What years of Lemay's work on AW did you see?"
"None, but everybody says he was great, so I know he must have been."
Cue the need to bite my tongue, LOL.
i know what you feel, i lost count of how many times i had to bite mine when people throw stones at my two favorite Soap (actually Telenovela) Writers (Manoel Carlos and Gilberto Braga) without seeing more than a handful of scenes, As For Jacquie well unfortunately her Work on AW available on Youtube isn't that flattering, specially because most scenes are from her unsuccessful 1984 return, BUT from The OLTL clips that Got Her that Surfaced Lately I can't deny she was Great

I gave a Look on EastEnders from England, They had a Character in the 1980's Called Den "Dirty Den" Watts, he was dishonest and a Serial Cheater on Wife Angie, who drank, sounds like JR and Sue Ellen doesn't it?

Ok So Copy 1 Rachel Davies
Robin Appeared On AMC (1976-79) as Dr. Christina Karras, Lucci and Her could be sisters (There She could've been Silver Kane)
Ava Rescott was Another Copy, Lisa Peluso woul've done a Great Kendall in my book

I always wondered if GH Dawn was abandoned because they couldn't get the casting correct, which is why it is amazing to me that YR Sharon has lasted so long.
I mean Dawn could have sub'ed for every story that Emily had as a young adult, given that they were both ista-Quartermaine women.
But, with Sharon, it is a quandary because none of the actresses had a particularly different take on the character, (unlike some of the short-lived Daniel's), and none of them were noticeably bad actresses, so it seems like the Y&R casting department screen tested during episodes rather than prior to filming.
yeah i also liked the other two they weren't bad
BTW More Melinda Surfaced

I Came across this one too, Allison Bancroft on Y&R, i didn't know much about this character except she was Nikki's Mother-in-Law from hell for a while in the 1980's before she got together with Victor, but now i found this two clips with her and she got my attention as anyone who Goes head to head with Katherine would

Only Melody has ever had a temp - Robin Eisenmann back in the mid 80's for several weeks.
1 hour ago, Khan said:I dread ever hearing the words "The role of Erica Kane will be played today by Philece Sampler."
(May she RIP.)
Ah, yes. The girl who once played a Kris Monroe lookalike on "Charlie's Angels."
And they have a playlist!
Ok I'm subscribing on this channel, also why you "Dread" Philece? I loved her on both AW and Dool
20 hours ago, Khan said:Who knows? If we dig a little deeper, we might turn up some footage of her pitch-hitting for Susan Lucci or Kim Zimmer!
You're joking but I would've loved to see that, just hope this doesn't turn into a urban legend like Maeve McGuire as Vanessa Chamberlain

Christine Jones certainly got around. I remember her as Viki on OLTL but didn’t know she filled in for Jane Elliot too.
both during the other actresses' maternity leaves, the video's discreption says she filled in during november 1989 wikipedia seems to confirm

Carrie on Central Park West
Heather on Titans.
Peyton on Savannah.
10 years seems like a long run for a soap. Even Dynasty and Melrose went under 10 and they are pretty iconic on their own.
wow those are great!

well under 10 years was because my mind went to daytime, i totally forgot how it would sound for primetime, but up to 3 seasons seems fair to me, sounds ok?
What About Sabella Scott Colby? She was basically the only character who survived the Soap, and went on to the mother series

Lee Grant! Did she ever do another primetime soap (not counting Peyton Place)?
btw it just occurred to me, if "The Next Generation" had been picked up she might've eventually pop up after all that movie ignored "Murder"

Didn't watch the show but Santa Barbara's Cruz and Eden were a top 80s supercouple despite the show's low ratings.
Good Catch, you know i think they were why the show was so popular, in fact SB is the ony soap besides B&B ever aired here on Brazil

feel free to speak your mind on such matter, as long as your chosen character was featured in a show that lasted less than a decade, as you feel like, well if this show went on longer this character would be truly iconic and well known to this day,
example: Reena Bellman Cook Dekker and Paige Marshall Carrington both from Texas, i know they could've been Daytime Icons, if that soap endured more time, Just the Fact Lisby Larson's Paige could actually hold her Own against Beverlee Mckinsey's Iris shows she could've been one of Daytime's Great Schemers, Same for Reena she was a sexy, scheming Woman who was getting a great treatment in Layers, she could've been great too
Quoting MYSELF to add proof i forgot before
