That was sad, but good to hear! I'm going to really miss seeing Darlene on my tv screen. :( Sally and the Spectra gang were always my favorites on this show, but in recent years we haven't got much of them. That made their little appearances even more special. I hope the show does the character justice in the end.

Awe. I'm so sad right now!!!!

We should all tell Darlene stories, our favorite memories of the legend!! She was wonderful!

My favorite memory is just her overall spunk, my great-granny got me hooked on soaps and that was right around the time B&B debuted!! Sally was loud and fun, full of life and she reminded me so much of my granny and when she was on my screen I saw her and was always reminded of her!! Good-bye sweet Darlene!

I loved her as Rose Deville on Y&R. It was pure Y&R classic TV. Darlene was so good as Rose. She played off very well with Tricia Cast...ex-Nina. I wish I could see a clip. I remember when she was tied up in a bed. I think Nina and Cricket tied her up but am not 100% sure.

"Within about 10 minutes, she was gone. I stayed for what seemed the longest time just holding her hand and stroking her head. As other people started filing into the room they would ask if she was gone. I said yes. I knew she left because I felt her pass through me as she left. I know it might seem far-fetched to some of you, but I know what I felt. It took my breath away for a moment. It was the most amazing feeling. I didn't feel sad. I felt elated. I felt blessed to have been the one she chose to share that moment with."

Amazing. I have no words.

Wow. I applaud Ron's strength and courage in writing that. There's no doubt in saying that Darlene will be surely, sorely missed. I wish the best for all those who knew and loved her. I pray that God will grant a special piece of Darlene to remainn within those people. Because when they feel cold, hopeless, alone...they can draw from what she has taught them in life. Never let life get you down. Let it lift you. Rejoice in it and take whole the fruits of it.

May her spirit never die.

Everytime I think of D. Conley, I think of how she was wasted for years on by Bradley Bell on B&B. What a shame. I don't think of the great actress that she was, I think: a wasted, great actress. Thank u, Mr. Incest-Obsessed B. Bell! :angry:

I loved how Conley would pronounce "Amber". :lol:

That was touching. I loved loved loved Darlene as Sally Spectre, she really brought herself to the role. Thanks to Ron for sharing that, it was so nice to read, just lets you know that the human spirit is enduring.

It reminds me of this quote I remember hearing from TLC's Left Eye before she passed. "Energy never dies, it just transcends."

Rest in Peace Darlene. You earned it.

I don't think it is appropriate to turn a thread about remembering a beloved actress who has passed away into a B&B/Bradley Bell bash.

Amen. That was a beautiful post in tribute to a truly classy lady. Makes you think her spirit lives on.

    • "And OMG, watching the scenes of Roger's return in comparison...the quality in the writing really nosedived. The stupid mask." Very much agreed.  Having Roger hide behind a mask for weeks/months, with it culminating with him swinging in on a vine at Blake/Phillip's wedding....geez.  So juvenile. IMO, Guiding Light never did a good job reintroducing major characters, either from the dead or elsewhere.  Masked balls = awful.  Amish = awful. When Reva was brought back from the dead, she should've just showed up in Springfield as Reva, and informed everyone that she had been gone for years because she felt like it.  She had a four-year fling with some dude who ended up dumping her due to disloyalty. Josh would be pissed and declare that their love is not *always* but *sometimes* and he'd act accordingly.  Her kids would hate her.   
    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
