This is one of the mysteries of Chapman. From what I've heard about her on Ryan's Hope and GH, she was great, but here? No way. I think it's mainly because she's miscast and doesn't know who Gloria is. Or Y&R. She needs to go to an NBC soap with this acting.

Joan Van Ark was capable of doing very subtle comedy, but she could also do the dramatic stuff, she could do it all basically. A good example is the great rivalry building with Ashley, with Chapman it's crap. Another is her relationship with her sons. There was so much no on the paper that she conveyed in those scenes, this is why Gloria is still around today, because of Joan. I'm 100% that if Chapman had originated the role she wouldn't have lasted more than a 13-week cycle.

Oh, gosh! As Chad was so kind to reminds us, it's been a year now since Judith Crapman....oops...I meant Chapman... has graced our TV sets with her campy, over-acting, scenery-chewing, head-bobbing, eye-popping presence! :P

What could have been if JVA was still in the role. Especially with Ted Shackelford coming onboard as Ashley's prosecutor. What could have been... :unsure:

She was on SoapTalk today looking a hot mess, but she did have some interesting things to say. I still hate her as Gloria and will always hate her as Gloria, but I really am interested in her Ryan's Hope storyline! Everything I hear about it sounds so exciting and I love when they go into the Irish side of the Ryan's.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!  
    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.
