We are so used to seeing just about every woman on TV having had some sort of work done, as well as being touched up/using filters for photos that seeing someone like Marcy look like the lady at the supermarket is a surprise, especially when they have been out of the public eye for years. and we have an image of them in our minds.

Having said that I don't think the scraggly blond locks are the most flattering do.

I didn't recognize Kristen Meadows or Sherilyn Wolter at all.

I agree with @Paul Raven that Marcy would benefit from a shorter haircut but otherwise I think she looks nice. You can still recognize her and she seems very happy to be there. It's nice to see her enjoying herself and this is the moment the long-suffering Cruz and Eden fans deserve (yes I know they aren't their characters).

Can we talk about how great Judith McConnell looks? Get her on a soap!

Vincent also looks terrific. He's aged well. 

So nice to see Carrington Garland there.

Surprised at how many showed up, especially those whose characters were not handled all that well, i.e. Scott Clark and Heather Donnelly.

But it is still great that Vicent Irizarry, Jane Rogers, and so many other actors did show! Maybe it was nice enough behind the scenes that the fonder memories remained.

Thrilled to see so many favorites there, i.e. Carrington Garland. And Judith McConnell looks fabulous!

ETA: Gordon Thomson obviously looks different with the white/silvery hair, but I do think he looks good. I'm not surprised he attended. When on the air, he often raved about the writing and seemed to truly enjoy playing Mason Capwell.

Personally seeing Marcy there just made me so emotional

Please register in order to view this content

....she looked gorgeous and ageing gracefully out of the public eye. Her being healthy and smiling after all that she has gone through in the recent past was everything...

Also yes...I know they are not that their characters, but the way the writers botched up their story line in the end to phase Marcy out, it was actually nice to see them chatting away to glory after all these years. 

Loved all the pictures and videos from the event , hope there is a feed somewhere of the entire meet up, would actually pay to watch it.

Amen.. She really seemed so happy to see not just A but everyone...Finally after all those attempts A made to reconnect with her.

Looking back at the photos from the previous page I just saw that Harley Jane Kozak was there too. Richard Eden. So many people. 

Now if only a producer could take the opportunity to use some of this talent while they still can.

Wow!! It is so nice to see these photos!! 

I did not recognize so many of them. Some of these people I last saw when they were on SB, so many years ago, so I remember them solely by how they looked while on the show. 

I am so happy to see Marcy there! I have seen some interviews with A where he mentioned not being in contact and her just staying away from the business. So it is so nice to see her there with him and others. It would have been so nice to be at this event. So many memories!!

Same, but I understand why she cut everyone out. And while I may not agree with it, I support her in her decision.

SAME! Her brief stint on The Bay made me realize I need to see her back in daytime. I'm also [not shocked] she is the only Kelly Capwell to show up.

I always envisioned her for a Beth Logan recast; Marla Adams was such a miscast, but had Bradley Bell snagged Judith McConnell at the end of Santa Barbara, I do think it would've been a smash hit in casting.

If I'm not mistaken, Carrington Garland was a soap name thrown around for Y&R Phyllis recast in 1997. Other than that I can't think of any other soap roles she might have been considered for.

Robin Wright has been speaking negatively about her time on Santa Barbara for the better part of the last 30 or so years and I'm sure Eileen Davidson knows that Santa Barbara fans do not hold her run in high regard so no surprise they were absent.

I do wonder if Eileen has any positive memories of her time there - maybe she just associates herself with Y&R.

I think Carrington may have auditioned for Mindy Lewis at one point, but I might be mixing her up.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      You're welcome. Fall 1982-Spring 1985 was the peak of primetime soaps. What a time to have been alive.

      Ratings from the 1990s

      By kalbir · Posted

      1990/91 Cheers, Roseanne, A Different World, The Cosby Show, Empty Nest, The Golden Girls were still Top 10 shows, and Murphy Brown and Designing Women became Top 10 shows. It was the following season that I think was the transition season for sitcoms.
