Contessa Donatella

I just ran into Lynn Deerfield's death notice. She died Nov. 11, 2011. She was only 61.

Quick question to anyone that can help. I have seen almost full yearly DVD sets of Days from 1984 onwards for sale (though a bit too rich for me at the moment), has anyone ever gotten these or are they online to download for free anywhere? I would love to get 84 - 98 as it is the period I grew up watching. I also contacted someone from another site who said they have links to download of 84 to now, but have never had a response. Anyone had any luck? 

 

Sorry I am also asking because if I did go for the DVD's I would like to know if they are a scam or not. I don't want to waste money.

Did I suggest Robert Forester to you? You email him & ask for his current list & then decide what you want to buy. I got Doug & Julie's first wedding from him. Got an AW & got a GL, too. All excellent quality. Charged me $5 per plus overall shipping which was not bad. [email protected] ... Hope I'm not repeating myself. But, I'm sure he doesn't have as many as you are looking for. Be sure & ask him if any of them are from kinescopes, too, because some are.

Where are all the Tracey lovers? C'mon guys, this is ALWAYS the number one post on the boards. I can't believe it wasn't the first non-administration post.

 

Let's get the all-mighty Tracey love going here. This place just doesn't feel right without this post being here. I may not have posted much in the previous threads, but all be damned if I didn't read every post and response religiously.

 

**Bowing down** Tracey Quartermaine, you are Queen.

I just ran into one of many Tracy Q signature lines I used to use. "Do you read a lot of women's magazines? You have the lingo down pat." - Tracy Q to Alexis, GH, 12-23-03

Well, Lane Davies would have been an interesting choice -- even if the writing at that time wasn't going to do him any favors either.

A bunch of us used to follow Lane's Pilot Plus career. He'd get cast in shows that would go exactly 13 episodes, make money off that & have the exposure. Then, he'd spend his time doing regional theatre, especially Shakespeare in his native Georgia. He was from Dalton, GA. I lived in Dalton. Back then Dalton was "the carpet capital of the world". It is no longer.

If I remember correctly that is when Cady McClain was dating Hunt & she praised him to the sky & back, called him an iconoclast, etc. I liked Cady before when she was paired with Michael E. Knight & playing Dixie, instead of when she was playing Rosanna. I like her now for her memoir, for her work as a Director and for being married to Jon Lindstrom.

I ran into the definition today:

iconoclastic

[ahy-kon-uh-klas-tik]

adjective 1. attacking or ignoring cherished beliefs and long-held traditions, etc., as being based on error, superstition, or lack of creativity: an iconoclastic architect whose buildings are like monumental sculptures. 2. breaking or destroying images, especially those set up for religious veneration.   And, I tell you it really really made me think of Hunt Block''s NuCraig!   Some of you mentioned John Wesley Shipp who maintains quite a Social Media presence. After daytime he was very good on SISTERS. But that's primetime, still soapy as all get out. And, now he's very good again on THE FLASH. Not a soap. Not daytime. Strictly action/adventure with drama.

I hate it when soap writers pull characters out of nowhere and create some ridiculously spun backstory.  At least use someone that can be seen in a classic clip, then it might have some resonance. Even if you didn't see Dusty and Janie "together", viewers can still draw the conclusion that it was plausible since everybody knew that Janie lived in Luther's Corners and existed during that time. 

I hear you!

Gold Derby Forum ran a poll. Which to reboot? ATWT? or GL?

 

https://www.goldderby.com/article/2019/cbs-soap-reboot-poll-guiding-light-as-the-world-turns-news/

Personally, I would choose GL. And the poll showed a win for GL at the level of 57%!

There were 4 shows "nominated"

• ATWT
• GL
• Capitol
• Other

If I understand it correctly Martha was ready to play even more of the twosome. I do know people who felt the way you're saying you do & were ready for Rose & Lily to be over with. It just wasn't me.

Geez, I feel fortunate to either have forgotten or simply not been watching some of this crap.  If the show wanted to pull a character from Luther's Corners that Dusty could have met, why didn't they just use Janie Cobb? And Janie and Holden dated so it might have at least made use of some plausible history, instead of nonsense.

Oh, gosh, I don't even know a Janie Cobb. My oops there.

Wasn't Phillip and Olivia Taggert/Rauch..didn't ConWest break them up...or marry them..I totally quit watching during that time..(well not totally) and can't remember. Phillip and Olivia were smoking hot but they should never be together as in the usual boring soap couple trying go get together and then marrying briefly. They should have always been antogonistic "lovers" who would find their way back to each other in between other people.  Why does every soap couple have to lead to marriage???

 

And yes, the only time I like Cassie was with her and Edmund though it made no sense., and they turned Eddie into a bore then.  Poor DAM never really had a good sexy partner in crime...Carmen always seemed like a drag queen to me.

When Olivia was married to Alan but Alan was in the hospital, Phillip & Olivia had a love scene in her hotel room that was, yes, smoking hot. She kept him from leaving & stripped his shirt off of him. Then he picked her up. Then, she wrapped her legs around him. Then he took her top off her. Finally they ended up between the bed & the wall. And, his torso completely covered her from sight. The videos in youtube are labeled SPARKS IGNITE! They were both in black undies.

Roberta did appear on GL, but it wasn't to sing 'Hold On To Love' - she sang 'The First Time Ever I Saw You Face' at Hamp and Gilly's wedding in 1992.

No doubt, if PC had stayed on any longer, they would've had to go so far out, even the rabid fans who loved the Rafe/Alison [!@#$%^&*] and the Caleb/Livvie [!@#$%^&*] would have turned away in droves.

I was one of many PC fans who was there with them from beginning to end.

The only thing I didn't get from PC that I wanted was a wedding between Julie Pinson and Jon Lindstrom. I saw the tear sheets from the soap press for the wedding-that-never-happened and it was glorious. They never should've stopped it.

Now, would that put them in the position of replacing Pratt & JFP? I've read that Pratt & JFP have the worst reputation to be carrying around. Of course, from their point of view that just means they have a lot of haters.

I remember what was said & who said it. Michael Logan said that as a pair (Chuck & JFP) they were the most controversial &  most polarizing people.

I think Kay Alden and Sally Sussman might be more inclined to return now that Angelica McDaniel is gone.  I had the feeling from listening/reading their separate interviews that a big reason why they left (or were forced out) was Angelica's interference.

Yes, I remember reading in SOD that Frances Reid was the only actor who knew that her character wasn't really dead. .....

 

Corday had a sit-down with her, early on, and spelled it all out for her. She listened to Corday but, in fact, she really thought that Reilly did not like her!

Rachel Miner was fired by Michael Laibson and he was also responsible for recasting with Rebecca Budig.

Thank  you.

I was SUCH a huge fan of Miner & Buffington.

JFP was frankly infamous for her Day One firings.

Seems like someone was surmising that PAS had a special friend who was also in GL. I don't think so. We would run into him, as pedestrian traffic, in Brooklyn, and I think his friend was uber-blonde, very good looking and tended to be in Broadway or off-Broadway shows. Of course, that's what PAS has done a lot of too since GL went off the air.

Ever heard this about Miner & Buffington?

Rachel was fired in early 1995, by Jill Farren Phelps.

Bryan was fired in fall 1997, by Rauch and MADD, to 'hunkify' him (and turn him
into an Aryan in training, apparently).

If you had to put person or persons on recurring at a certain point, who would you do?

1. Frank DiCopoulous (Frank Cooper)
2. Bradley Cole (Jeffrey O'Neill)
3. David Andrew MacDonald (Edmund Winslow)
4. Justin Deas (Buzz Cooper)

In order of preference, I would put Frank, Bradley and David on recurring.

If you had to do away with one element of story-telling at GL, would it be

1. the Santos mob family
2. San Cristobel Island & the royalty that went with it
3. Roger's son, Sebastian

I would do away with all 3!

I'm surprised no one wanted to have a go at these 2 "what ifs".

And now "Chris Kositchek" (Josh Taylor) plays Kayla's brother. Thank God CMS isn't still playing Kayla! It'd be too squicky.

I still think of him as Chris - not roman.

Seems to me that w ith 13 Tom Hugheses to choose from Tom Hughes has got a leg up. But then, I'd reach for the dual roles, too. Ellen Wheeler and Anne Heche definitely. And, David Canary's preformance as Adam & Stuart i so nuanced that it's no wonder he had a stack of Emmys!
