DAYS: Frances Reid video interview...

Frances Reid Interview

So sad. This interview was 3 or 4 years ago, I believe. And she seems to get pretty confused... she can't remember names very well. In the second part of the interview, it even took her about 25 seconds to recall the name of the character she plays -- Alice Horton.

I love her reply when she's asked to describe her co-star, Macdonald Carey: "Oh... he's dead." Her laughter after it is infectious!

She talks about her roles on ATWT, The Edge of Night and other shows she did back in the early days, as well as her work in theater.

Anyway, the interviewer is subpar at best. She sounds like a robot, and it's almost as if she's trying to confuse poor Frances. She gets on my nerves through the entire interview.

It saddens me that Frances sounded so confused at parts... and this was a few years back. I wonder how well she's holding up now?

Thought everyone might enjoy it, though.

During the 40th anniversary special on SOAPnet a while back, she looked so frail. It was hard for her to get out what she wanted to say. And she seemed to forget things. :(

This years Christmas episode was especially sad, as she wasn't able to hang her own ornament. And she was not shown as much as previous years.

:lol: at Frances describing her cast members.

Susan Seaforth Hayes: "She doesn't like me!"

Peggy McCay: "Wooo!"

Louise Sorel: "She's crazy! She's one of the best actresses we've ever had on the show!"

:lol:

Her MacDonald Carey comment, haha, "Oh that sounded awful didn't it?"

Oh yeah. and the interviewer definitely sucked.

LoL, it cracked me how how everytime Frances asked the interviewer a question in return, the interviewer would NEVER ANSWER. She just went right along to the next question, totally ignoring Frances. Was she even listening to Frances' replies? Did she even know who the hell she was interviewing? What a stupid twit!

It's so funny when she talks about the people she's worked with that are now dead, "I've outlived everyone.." and then chuckled.

Ugh the interviewer is so inpersonal it actually frustrates me, because Frances seems to be so friendly and trying to connect with her and I can imagine that she was just staring at her.

I love Frances :) She's just so fabulous. Everytime you see Deidre or Kristian, or Missy talking about her, they always say how smart and sassy she is. I think DH called her a toughball or something once. It's lovely to see how much everybody loves her on the show though, I mean who doesn't love Alice Horton? Used to love her more when she was used as more than a prop for the latest twosome they wanted to prop and pimp, but she's still ALICE.

And you know personally, I just love what she said about my fave :)

The Frances/Susan "feud", I read some stuff about it, but I can't remember Susan saying anything but respectful things in her and Bill's book. Maybe they settled it? Some people just don't get along, it's just how it is I guess.

    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
    • Bloodshed is inevitable now. It’s another reason I’m glad Black people aren’t getting involved in these protests. As awful as this is, I keep reminding myself that 54 percent of Latino men voted for Trump. These people were put in harm’s way by members of their own communities and sometimes even members of their own families. Too many people decided to touch the stove.
    • Maybe I'm still in denial, but nothing about Neighbours' ongoing social media output gives the vibe of a show that's ending. In today's 'Roundup' video, Alan Fletcher referenced that production finishes in five weeks, but in all the show's posts the cast are as jovial and lighthearted as ever. Remarkably so for people who are about to lose their jobs.    Perhaps they're just putting a brave face on things, and I know they approached the previous axing with a positive attitude. Maybe putting an upbeat face on things is a collective way of showing potential backers that there's still life in the show? Or is it possible that they already know the show has been saved, and we'll get an announcement next month when filming wraps and the show 'rests'?   Does any of that make sense?!
    • A very good week for male eye candy on GH. New Michael is beautiful, Curtis's arms looked great in that polo shirt, Cody looks even more handsome with his new haircut AND we got Marco in swim shorts rocking his lovely bod and chest fur.

    • Yeah when Jamey Giddens did breakdowns for DAYS, he would sometimes state in tweets that specific things were his idea that he had pitched to Ron.
