Members DRW50 Posted July 26, 2023 Members Share Posted July 26, 2023 Some rare 1982 promos here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members safe Posted July 26, 2023 Members Share Posted July 26, 2023 Thanks! I didn't realize he was still on the show in June of 1982. Too bad they didn't show a 1982 clip of his instead of the 1981 slip with Ann Gillespie. He probably would have worked with Marg's Siobhan in '82. Thanks, again! Nice to see a bit of 1982. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members safe Posted July 27, 2023 Members Share Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) Helen looked wonderful. I was afraid an hour was a little long for her, though. She couldn't remember a number of things, but that was okay - it was nice to see her again. Some things I recall - Helen approached to do the show. She loved that Maeve had children gathered abound her and was the center of a loving family. She adored Claire. Alan brought up that Claire created the role of Dr. Maude on One Life to Live that Helen played but Helen said she didn't remember that role. Helen loved Bernard Barrow(Johnny). Helen said Malcolm Groome (Pat#1) brought humanity to the role of Pat. Malcolm originally auditioned for the role of Bucky but then they had him audition for Pat. He turned down the soap at first. Helen said Kathleen Tolan (Mary #3)was a dear friend. Alan played Michael Corbett's (Michael Pavel) comments about Helen for her. I haven't watched that Michael Corbett interview yet. Helen said she's not a good cook. Malcolm admired Claire. Helen said it was hard to play Mary's death. He wasn't on the show at the time but he watched it. Helen adlibbed "Have a good life " at the end of the finale. Malcolm had acted/worked with Faith Catlin (Faith #1)in North Carolina before RH. Someone asked about Faith being fired. Malcolm said he and the others didn't really understand it. He didn't think Faith understood , either. Blowing up the bar bothered Helen. Malcolm was in acting class with Nancy Addison(Jill) . Maclolm is close to Andrew Robinson (Frank #2) and still sees him and Andrew's wife. Helen said the show was rumored to be cancelled long before it was dropped. Malcolm said Maeve was the moral center of the show and as the years went by Maeve and Johnny became more accepting. Helen agreed. Alan asked about practical jokes on the set. Rose Alaio (Rose) sent a message that Daniel Hugh Kelly (Frank #3)was a prankster. Malcolm's 17 year old cat made an appearance. They agreed that the legacy of the show was family. Helen's mother lived to 101 years old. I hope Carl will help fill in some details. (Fingers crossed) Edited July 28, 2023 by safe More thoughts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Two more 1982 promos. (the volume varies on this and as it goes along can suddenly get loud) I missed a few bits but I think you got most of what I saw, and some of what I didn't. They talked about Nancy Addison. Malcolm still misses her, and Helen says she still feels like Nancy has never left. I think Malcolm also said he worked with Nancy before the show (although maybe that was Faith Catlin), as well as Ilene. Malcolm said he and Helen didn't work together on the first day of taping as it was split between home scenes and hospital scenes. Malcolm also talked about the location footage in that episode and how rare it was. And he pointed out that Ryan's Hope was the first soap set in a real city. Alan asked them if they felt the show got worse when ABC bought it. Helen said she didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TEdgeofNight Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Kudos to Alan Locher for having to pivot constantly because of Helen's one or two word answers. In hindsight, a 97 year old should not be interviewed live. It's a great idea to interview a living legend, just not live. I'm sure with prodding and editing she could have remembered more and it would have been a great interview. Malcolm rescued that episode by talking alot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 I am not attempting to begin an argument, but that this show is the first soap opera to be set in a real city is false. ABC's The Best of Everything was set in New York City. CBS's Love Is a Many Splendored Thing was set in San Francisco. 1954's Woman with a Past was set in Manhatten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted July 28, 2023 Members Share Posted July 28, 2023 Danfling is correct. Ryan's Hope often gets credited as being the first soap opera set in a real city. But there were several television soaps previous to 1975 that had been set in real cities. Not to mention a number of radio soaps were also set in real cities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 29, 2023 Members Share Posted July 29, 2023 You aren't starting an argument - I think Groome probably just had no knowledge of those shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
