One of the points of this topic was discussing Alexis great Moments, this Season 3 one is certainly iconic

Alexis triumph over Blake is also undoubetly iconic 

And Alexis showed dear cousin "Sybil" not to cross her 

I was watching yesterday, realized 2 things 

1. Delia was one big Spoiled Brat totally needy and childish, but her Fantasies were very funny

2. Given the Proper Development I Think Nancy Barrett could be a very good Faith Coleridge, I'm just not sure as I haven't the privilege to seeing much of Faith Catlin

I think it could've worked. I mean Courtney could've been the recast after her OLTL stint in the 70's and join in 1977 or 1979. I mean Elvera Roussel quiet looked like she was the same age as Jacqueline.

1979! That's when George Left there's when Pat stopped being really interesting

An episode I'd never seen on Youtube before.

 

(1) The Young Marrieds (July 14, 1965, ABC-TV) - YouTube

Oh yes this channel is amazing they upload all kinds of early TV Stuff I've accompanied it from nearly the beginning glad they got to the 1960's

A question when Alex had Lujack and Nick she was a teenager or what I don't know the backstory of her initial revenge very well

Didn't knew this detail about Elvera Rousseau then It might have worked, Jacqueline looked younger than she was, having that in mind I thought she looked terrible at her 2nd stint as Alice with that middle aged doctor look, not to say they wasted her completely 

What about discussing the Characters and the Performers that were Tailor Made, the perfect match??? That's not as rare as one would think...

I was thinking about alternative replacements for Beverlee McKinsey as Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light.   While I agree with the theory that the writing for Marj Dusay was more problematic than the performance, here are some ladies that could have played that part.

1. Dina Merrill - a Hitchcock blond - her own history as the heiress to the EF Hutton/Marjorie Maryweather Post fortune makes her a perfect fit, and by the 90s she was mostly doing daytime celebrity game shows.

2. Louise Shaffer - played iconic business women in soaps, seems like a smart fit for Alex once she became interim CEO of Spaulding

3. Carole Shelby - she pinched hit as a replacement for Beverlee when she played Iris on AW, so she was familiar with understudying a role in daytime

4. Sharon Acker - played Judith on Texas, and was an Iris prototype after Beverly left the show

Hey it's Carole Shelley not Shelby and I understand your point she made a great crazy Iris, I thought Carmen Duncan could be a nice replacement too, even if she probably go on a different direction with the Character the rest was Spot-on except Dina Merrill was kinda old if I'm not mistaken didn't Alex have her twins as a teenager?

Jacqueline Courtney.. I always thought she would be a good Hope Bauer on Guiding Light tbh

Wasn't she a bit to old? I think hope were born onscreen in the 1960's

When Susan Lucci was going through her Emmy dry period, I remember reading several articles stating that she didn’t have a wide range and she didn’t deserve the award. So I don’t think that opinion was too unpopular.

Now here’s an unpopular one: Beverlee McKinsey tended to be hammy. Frankly, I’ve found a lot of those popular leading ladies - McKinsey, Slezak, Lucci, Robin Strasser Jess Walton - to be over the top at times (and for some of them, it’s a lot of the time). The one who I found to give consistent controlled performances was Victoria Wyndham.

And yet Victoria never won, and was hardly ever nominated 

That's Great, she deserves it I always Knew almost-Lisa was an excellent actress, I've saw her very young self on a movie the other day

And for that "Howard's End" Right???

According to imdb, Maeve McGuire was born in 1937, Karen Gorney in 1955 and Jayne Bentzen in 1955.

Speaking of Jayne Bentzen...here's recent info...and photo!! She has a very interesting Instagram page as well.

Little correction Karen was born in 1945 not 1955

I assumed it was an ABC mandate to de age the character.

I think I read somewhere that Karen Gorney auditioned in 1981 for it..but she was deemed too old.  I think she was 9 or 10 years older than Jayne...and 7 or 8 years younger than Maeve. 

 

If she tested the first time maybe she could get the role would be nicer than an extreme deaging

I can see Judy Lewis as Nicole. Susan Sullivan would have been a great Nicole recast.

 

Well Judy sounds right but Susan I don't know anyway it's hard not to think of Nicole as a Brunette

2 questions for those lucky enough to have seen SS what was the thing with Laurie???? I've just come across an article on her having an affair with a priest???

Second does anyone know where to find videos with Belle Clemens??? The most I've saw of her were 3 seconds on a promo

Now I'm wondering who married most? Erica Kane or Brooke Logan?

ERica was certainly the marrying kind, such a serial bride

Found those by accident, were they known?

So what's the story of this one?

Just now, FrenchBug82 said:

É o fim deste episódio (pode ser um mashup de dois)
 

Mais da queda e consequências do dia seguinte são visíveis aqui (começando por volta das 44:00)
 

 

Thanks very much

Felicia went through the skylight in 1997.

Thanks I've just finished my search it was October but I couldn't find the whole scene yet

This Soap Opera turned 70 yesterday, today Christopher Reeve would be 69 I think it was meant to be, by the way can you lucky fans who are more familiar with LOL indicate me where to watch some episodes??? I saw very little of it through YouTube apparently there's not much of it around

I was really curious about Felicia Through The Skylight story when was it???? 

Marj was really competent I don't know if I should indicate it but I always remembered Marj Firstly for this is really interesting how her character was both the villain yet we can feel sorry for her she literally was killing to live

I read somewhere that years later, Ms. Lynde said in hindsight she never would have left Y&R.

Well now she's coming back 

 Now that Question on Iris what made her so interesting as played by Beverlee the couldn't be duplicated?????

To be fair I think this is the first time anyone has asked about Pat vs Dorothy.

Anyway...

Thanks for those Gems I was really curious to be fair it's because I was watching Dynasty and Pat was the only Good Thing on Season 7 after her character was off everything went Downhill, I thought she was really competent so I wanted to get a look at her tenure on Generations BUT I had a hard time finding anything

I'm wondering cutting La McGuire off because her version of Nicole as Stated was really different from the DeAged version who was better as Nicole, Jayne Bentzen or Lisa Sloan???? I wonder if Lisa was bad so they (oh yes no spoilers )
