Thanks for sharing your memories. It's so special to get to talk with your mother about a soap she watched when she was younger that you now watch. '70s feminism had to be much tougher, and other than maybe Search for Tomorrow (where the Kathy character is mostly unavailable in '70s form), Ryan's Hope may be the only soap that delved into this. Jill is such a fascinating character, one I'm not surprised was polarizing with viewers. So much about her probably shouldn't have worked, especially when you think of all the backstory thrown at viewers immediately (a previous love affair with Jack, being adopted and never feeling at home in the Coleridge family, being Frank's "other woman" for much of the decade). Nancy Addison was just so special, and the entitlement and arrogance of Jill felt offset by her vulnerability (which was not the case for the rest of her family). Mary was also very important for feminist debates, and likely more popular with the audience, but I never really connected with her the way I did with Jill. Maybe because the inherent smugness of the Ryans felt like a wall. Sometimes I wonder if it perversely helped Jill as a character that she was lumped with a complete dud of a partner for a year and a half, because it humanized her - why are you sacrificing your dignity for this loser? @safe Thanks for reminding me of more Sarah Felder backstory. A great deal I had forgotten. I appreciate her sticking up for the Pat/Nancy story if it was struck down due to prejudice, but there was so much else wrong with that pairing (I say that as one of the few John Blazo fans). I suppose the narrative about Felder is just too easy to believe (and she never has spoken about her time on the show). -

Leslie uses Tide with Downy and not the Tide with Oxi! -

I am not sure either, but I'm riding with the outsiders regardless. There was an opportunity to use Anita to ground the family and make you root for them. I wonder do they still have chemistry, I thought they did at ATWT. -
Cady McClain and Jon Lindstrom had a scene together!! They're either friendly (which is great) or they're just professionals (which is great).Please register in order to view this content

I love Bradley and Bill together. New Ted was very soulful in his scenes with Leslie. -
Sometimes, I'm not sure we're supposed to like the Duprees. They pontificate at the drop of a hat. And even when they have the right, they gotta just put that last little nail in. I guess they were justified in reading Eva, but the "and you're never going to be a Dupree..." like...do they really think that was the goal in all that? -

Among other things in her long career (she made her first film in 1945!) she was the Swedish voice of Mrs.Potts in "Beauty and the Beast" and Madame Medusa in "The Rescuers" with smaller roles in "The Aristocats" and "The Great Mouse Detective" -
LOL - I wonder why Smitty was so weird with Vanessa.

I actually view Ashley as deeply repressed and not in touch with what she's truly feeling, needing, and wanting. She's more OCD/repressed than 'Type A'..imho.
