Members tina m Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 Heard about this on E Online. Broke my heart. I always loved Eileen on AMC for the years I've watched. May she rest in peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 10, 2008 Members Share Posted October 10, 2008 Leave it to Susan Lucci to sum up exactly what many of us have likely been thinking. Eileen was divine. And now she really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Yes and that same year we had some great comic scenes with Myrtle and Simone sharring spiked lemonade--the Boyd (as much as I thought he was a useless character) flirtations, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane70 Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 OMG, this is really sad news. RIP Eileen. I will miss the character of myrtle because she is the grandmother/mother/friend we wish we all had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NYC123 Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I hope AMC does an episode like they did with Pheobe. Bring back friends and family of Mrytle. Francesca James, Robin Christopher, Linda Dando HAVE to return if AMC does that kind of episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LeClerc Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I hope they devote an entire episode to her. If I recall correctly, Phoebe's funeral had to share the hour with Rylee scenes because TPTB felt that people wouldn't be interested in the episode if it was just a tribute to Phoebe. If Carruthers were smart she would just hire her good friend Francesca James to handle this properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Here is a great scene between Erica and Myrtle from Erica's intervention in 2004. "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"> She is obviously very frail by this point, but man just goes to show you how much of an impact in her frail state she could still have on this show. RIP Eileen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 I hated to hear this - was so sad. You know that it is coming but you still aren't prepared. I have been writing a big story for her in my online soap that has gone by the wayside that will explain for me the strong bond that developed instantly between Zach & Myrtle - one of the best things about the Zach character for me. I will greatly miss that onscreen if I start back watching AMC. As far as sets, my fear is we will lose The Boutique too which is one of the oldest sets on the show. Ann bought The Boutique back in 1970 and then it just gradually passed from one character to another through the years. So sad that they might not ever show it anymore. I love all the mentions of character that should come back. I will add one more and that is Ellen Dalton. She and Myrtle were always close. Ellen worked for Myrtle at The Boutique or it may have been the other way around - my memory is playing tricks on me right now which one actually owned The Boutique at the time. But they were very good friends for years on the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Ellen did in fact own the Boutique for a time, with Myrtle working for her. I don't remember if Myrtle took full ownership before Ellen and Mark left for Japan or not until their departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members All My Shadows Posted October 11, 2008 Members Share Posted October 11, 2008 Didn't Myrtle own it before Ellen did, though? Like, I think Ann gave it to Myrtle when she left town (to Seattle, I want to say), but then after Kitty died, Myrtle left town with Nigel Fargate and she passed it on down to Ellen.
