Members adrnyc Posted January 23, 2018 Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 Everything has come out with the Delia/Barry/Faith accident - even Maeve shunned Delia, and in fact, recoiled in horror when Delia tried to touch her. I don't get how the show is ever going to make it believable that Delia stays on the show. She tried to murder someone in cold blood. That's something from which there is no turning back. I'm surprised that the writers took it that far. And I'll be interested to see what they do to try to make me care about that character ever again. How could any of those people continue to have a relationship with her? Oh, I know she still owns the bar but still.....I'm really just completely perplexed by the entire storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 23, 2018 Members Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Randall was playing Delia then, right? How do you think the story would have been like with Ilene?

Members adrnyc Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 @amybrickwallace Well, since I can't stand IK's acting, I think the story wouldn't have annoyed me as much because I'd just hate Delia. I also don't know if the writers would have changed the character of Delia and had her grow the way they did under Randall. What bothers me the most is the regression of the character. But it goes beyond regression. Delia never tried to physically harm anyone other than herself, which makes sense to me. Maeve just said a line "She's not vindictive or cruel. She's needy and she's selfish." However, running down someone with your car IS vindictive and cruel. That goes WAY beyond needy and selfish. Roger has mentioned that Delia has regressed into needing the love of the Ryan family again. Ok....fine. But running down another human being in cold blood takes everything to an entirely other level. One that I can't just write off and say "Oh, that crazy Delia. She's always doing something." SHE TRIED TO KILL SOMEONE!!! I can see that I am just not going to be able to get past this. But Randall leaves soon anyway, doesn't she? I know IK comes back at some point. At this point, I just want her back so I can ignore the character again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 Randall left in 1982, but I don't know when in 1982. Ilene reprised Delia from 1982-83, when she was fired for weight gain (!!!). Robin Mattson took over the role in 1984, but only stayed for a few months. Delia then left town and resurfaced in 1986 with Ilene once again, and Ilene stayed until the series finale in 1989. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted January 24, 2018 Members Share Posted January 24, 2018 I believe Ilene returned early in 1982 -- around February. I recall watching that day when they announced the cast change. Her first scene had something to do with searching for Little John in the Ryan's apartment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrnyc Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 Thanks, all! I can't believe Robin Mattson played the role for awhile. I could definitely see that! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 I don't know why she didn’t last long on RH, but it worked out for the best as she landed SB not long afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrnyc Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 That's what I'll always remember her from - I only watched SB because it came on after AW but Mattson (and Deas) was one of the main reasons I hung around after AW was over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) She always had a knack for taking a role someone else had originated and making it her own. GH's Heather, Gina and AMC's Janet were all played by other people first. Why that same magic didn't happen with Delia, I have no idea. To my thinking, Ilene IS Delia (to take nothing away from Randall). Edited January 25, 2018 by amybrickwallace 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrnyc Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 I totally get what you mean. As much as Ilene's acting bugs me, I do get that she IS Delia. Delia just bug me.

Members danfling Posted January 25, 2018 Members Share Posted January 25, 2018 Ms. Mattson never created a role of her own, unless I am mistaken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
