Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Lots of drama happening in Feb 1980!  I got through episode 1200 this week. That kid (Michael?) has been trying to blow up Tiso for weeks and just missed him (and Delia) at the start of the week. Joe convinced Siobhan to move back home for now.  I think she and Jack are starting to figure out that Joe is involved in Tiso's business. I can't even imagine the drama that is going to ensue once the Ryan's discover what really happened to poor Mary.

 

We discovered that the lock on Prince Albert's cage doesn't work properly.  (Seriously? They can't just fix the lock?  He's a frickin' gorilla!)  Is the show about to do a Beauty and the Beast storyline? Or a King Kong one?  I look forward to finding out.

 

And I'm continuing to enjoy Kimberly and her storylines. Joan Fontaine playing a manager who was trying to sign her was genius and oh, how I wish they could've convinced her stay around longer.  As my husband said "Good Lord, she could play a Disney villain!" in response to how she was manipulating Kim into signing a horrible contract.  And Rae better look out because Kimberly is out to get proof that her mother is the person who framed Frank Ryan. I knew this would happen.  The only thing I don't know is:  Will Kim actually tell anyone once she finds out? Or will she just blackmail her mother for months on end?  I'd prefer the latter. Rae really needs to be put through the ringer for all she's done and Kim is just the person to do it!

Yeah, she looks a lot like Randall but I don't think it's her,

 

Lois Robbins (Concetta, 1987- 1988,1989)  talks about the soap opera process at approx.2:06 and then tells a quick little Ryan's Hope story at approx. 2:42. I think she meant producer Joe Hardy (not John Hardy)

Commercials were  the only way to see her after she was off RH. Although I did catch her on the America''s Junior Miss pageant a couple times, too.

 

 

Thanks!

 

After seeing the commercials...usually there is something familiar about them ... but I don't remember that one at all.

    • That's true. He may have ended up keeping her on a recurring basis, like Dr. Michaels on ATWT. I'm trying to remember if GL had a similar long-running therapist.
    • Oh in terms of ratings I think it would have been in a dicey place probably even before then. I mostly was just thinking of if the show could have carried on creatively. 
    • Even if by some miracle Knots Landing continued, 1994/95 it would have been killed by ER.

    • Assuming that Marland had been allowed to write the Carrie story the way he'd envisioned, Millette would've been involved in the story. And she might've played a role in Andy Norris' return (if the speculation on that had ever materialized, and Marland loved bringing back bad boys) But he doesn't seem interested in Sara's personal life. And the women of Springfield could only be analyzed so much.
    • This better be something, because as I said, so far it's just cliches and stereotypes -- the story we've heard a thousand times about the homeless person who doesn't want a home and prefers to live on the streets.
    • @rsclassicfanforever thank you very much for the recent uploads of season 13 containing some episodes that were skipped or glitchy on YouTube!  I had a look at 3172 though and there is no audio for most of it? Would you have a copy with complete audio? Fingers crossed! Thanks again!

    • I like Margaret well enough in what I've seen of her as Paige - she is green but she has real star power.  I agree about the actor who plays Brian. He's...mostly just there. Not bad but not great.  My main issue is with the guy who plays Owen. He's just not appealing to me. I can believe Nola being obsessed with him, but he's draining to watch.  I'm surprised people objected to the quasi-incest elements as it wasn't anything that new for soaps.  Speaking of Kim, here's a rare episode of an anthology show she did called The Evil Touch.

    •   I get what you're both saying, and I think the show was lucky to have even made it that long, but I think they could have still maintained a certain audience - Second Chances did before the earthquake. CBS was an older network anyway. I think the premise of Knots was still usable, it was more the characters who were a problem - many of the older figures were played out. If the show had done a better job building up its younger cast instead of making so many poor choices in the late '80s and early '90s, they could have kept things going a little longer.
