Members dc11786 Posted Sunday at 03:52 PM Members Share Posted Sunday at 03:52 PM In those early rough days, Mina Kolb's Aunt Mary was a highlight for me of the original version of "Generations" when it was trying to do drawing room drama fretting over things like Adam Marshall living with two white women, Jessica's scandalous past, and attempting to humiliate Ruth Marshall when she joined the Women's Art Council by bringing up Vivian's work as the Whitmores maid. I know Kolb's background was comedy so I can see why they shifted in that direction, but it is a shame. When the initial change is made, Marla Adams' Helen Mullens fills that role before they soften her with the domestic abuse angle, the dead daughter Karen, and the connection to the Reubens family. I grew up on the NBC daytime lineup so I can see why "Generations" made the changes it did and it was creatively more engaging as a result. I am not sure anyone could have matched JER after 1997, not even JER. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM A lifetime ago some people who indicated info about the inner workings of NBC daytime said that Sally Sussman Morina had a white knight protecting her at NBC. Has anyone ever heard this? And, who do you think it was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
