Members JAS0N47 Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 Confirmation came in tonight: Frances Reid (Alice) was not up to going to the Burbank studio for the Christmas episode taping. Mrs. H. will be very missed as the Hortons celebrate their Christmas without her. The last Christmas episode she missed was in 1995, while she was recovering from a stroke.

Members DaytimeFan Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 VERY SAD. I hope they can figure out a good excuse, perhaps Alice is traveling, something happy. Maggie should be the matriarch now. It's time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tylerbo20 Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 a good excuse is that she is with Bill and Laura, Jack and Jen or with Marie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dale Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 What a shame! Although I am not a DOOL viewer, I appreciate tradition and Alice Horton at Christmastime is a daytime institution! It won't be the same, but hopefully there will be some kind of acknowledgment of Alice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members David_Vickers Posted December 12, 2008 Members Share Posted December 12, 2008 So sad. I'm pretty sure that Frances Reid will never be able to grace our screens as Gran' Alice Horton again. I so miss her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted December 13, 2008 Members Share Posted December 13, 2008 I'm thinking the same thing. She won't ever be back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ian Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 Thank you for so many great years Frances! Hopefully she can retire and peacefully enjoy her life after giving so much of her time to us over the past 4 decades. That woman is a true class act. They should have her not be on the show, but show an Alice montage as they all miss her being there for the first time or something, but she's on a cruise or with Bill and Laura as was already mentioned and couldnt get home in time. Or maybe arrive unexpectedly like when Hope and Bo lost JT... that was SO heartbreaking (i totally cried back then!) and then when Alice ended up there at the end I was like YES - nice touch.

Members FrenchFan Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 We all can pray that she'll feel strong enough someday to appear. It is too sad to imagine our dear Alice won't be on our screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
