According the one of the moderators at Thorsten Kaye's board Thorsten has contacted the people that run that board, and let them know that Eileen Herlie has passed away. This is very sad news and Eileen was a wonderful actress. I loved Mrytle and I will miss Eileen and her portrayal of her.

This is so sad.

From her first appearance on AMC to her last she gave every scene her all. Especially over the last 10 years, every single scene she was in was a gem. Even in her frail state she still managed to out-act those around her, even if she only had a couple of lines.

All My Children and its viewers were so lucky to have her. The show will not be the same without her, and that says alot given that she was barely on anymore.

RIP

RIP sweet Ms. Herlie. I will miss you so much, from those lovely eyelashes to that lovely red hair that matched Myrtle Lum Fargate's fiery spunk.

I agree with All My Shadows, this is a strange feet in daytime today where the character is still so deeply involved with the current canvas. Eileen was featured so much until very recently. I loved her growing friendship with Zach. It added more layers to Myrtle, showing that the character still had a lot of potential.

I think Eileen was placed at such an interesting place on the canvas as a result of her being the proverbial "inn-keeper" of Pine Valley. So many character had spent some time living in the Boarding House. In a way, so many of Pine Valley's citizens were lucky enough to be all her children. Her passing will truly affect much of the current cast.

I hope the show handles Eileen's passing with the respect it deserves. I hope that this is a true memorial episode, one for the archives (ala Fra Heflins). Tptb better be on the phone securing Francesca James, Peter White, Robin Christopher and Linda Dano for cameos.

      I agree. Especially after SilkPress got back to her apartment and started to mock Nicole. Her dislike for Nicole and seeing her as a threat to her getting Teddy Bear is growing worse. So I could see her pulling a kidnapping on Nicole at some point. If anything she was going there to poke the bear and got pressed (pun unintended) when the bear gathered her.   Completely understandable.

      I swear this entire time I thought Roman knew about the Phillip/Vivian letter lol.  I do like how mature Roman/Kate are as a couple.  It makes me sad the new writers never got a chance to write for John/Marlena. I agree with @AbcNbc247 that the Felicity stuff is a bit after school special-y.  I am pretty sure that (most) of the viewing audience is aware that a grown man should not be shouting at any teenage girl especially one with disabilities.  Just let Xander apologize and move on. Linsey Godfrey was in her Sarah baby voice mode today and it irritates me to no end.   I know it's a cutesy thing her and Xander do but it's annoying. Bringing Kevin back is strange, but I do like the use of history.  I do think Rex probably could have been used instead, but whatever.  I don't care about Rex much either lol.

      I mean over the past decades. But I do agree that in recent years now, the writing is not working for them as well as it used to then. It's same old, same old...which is what made the Damian storyline refreshing. At least for me.

      DAYS/GH: RIP Denise Alexander

      By yrfan1983 · Posted

      Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.

      I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!

      that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
