Members SteveFrame Posted December 14, 2008 Members Share Posted December 14, 2008 Wanda was one of the greatest characters ever on soaps period. Marilyn Chris was such a great actress. Pity that OLTL didn't realize what they had with her. They never really attempted to even build up a family around her that I remember - just some convoluted thing when the Buchanans came on to make her Asa's cousin - but never really capitalized on that. When the Wolek family played out with her only being an in-law too - she just faded away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MikeGoldy Posted December 15, 2008 Members Share Posted December 15, 2008 That is hilarious. Being new to soaps, the whole faux Bo thing had me on the edge of my seat. And then when poor Didi died. I didn't know her from Adam, but my Mom told me how popular they were as a couple. I just loved that story. The beauty of youth lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MikeGoldy Posted December 15, 2008 Members Share Posted December 15, 2008 It seems like no matter who was writing the show (lets forget Dena! lol), they always managed to create interesting, compelling characters. I think that is one of the reasons why Ron can bring so many characters back and they all seem to merge so well with the current characters. Oh, and I so miss Wanda. But if I remember, it was her decision to leave. So that can't be blamed on OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members evermore Posted December 17, 2008 Members Share Posted December 17, 2008 I LOVED Jamie & Elizabeth Sanders, and Allison Perkins and her poor mom! When did Niki Smith stop wearing wigs with long red hair? Has anyone mentioned Tracey James or her sometimes-henchman whose name, I think, was Stick? Or the character Rick played by Richard Grieco? Or the young girl named Mary (I think) who Dorian took in, was blackmailed by Jamie Sanders, and ended up falling out a window during a struggle with Cassie? Sophia (Pellegrino?) Loved her... great actress and the only character who actually made Antonio tolerable. Mel Hayes and his daughter Dorothy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted December 19, 2008 Members Share Posted December 19, 2008 It breaks my heart nobody has mentioned the greatest of the greats: Dr Ivan Kipling. (I forgot him too) I just remember he was being eaten by alligators in a swamp one time, and he had some sort of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vanguardian Posted December 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 THANK YOU for bringing up Tracey James and you beat me to it!!!! Loved the storyline involving her. She was the psycho nurse (or hospital volunteer, can't really remember) who developed quite an obsession with Dr. Larry Wolek. So much to the point that she cut the breaks on his wife Laurel's car which resulted in her dying in a car crash. She also attempted to kill Cassie by tampering with a stove so that it would release carbon monoxide in her apartment. She stabbed Viki's therapist, Dr. Polk, in the back (literally) and Viki was arrested for the murder. Good stuff back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vanguardian Posted December 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 Kerry Nichols and Friends: One Life To Live's lame attempt at a rap storyline. Kerry Nichols, Miles Lewis, and Yusef (forgot his last name) were the players. Also, Kerry's father, Troy Nichols, girlfriend Rika Price, Rika's sister Sheila Price who dated Kerry's father Troy.

Members Vanguardian Posted December 20, 2008 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 Leo Cromwell and his daughter Christine Cromwell who developed a crush on Wade Coleman. Also, Billie Giordano (Wade's skanky ex-girlfriend played by actress Lisa Peluso). Cyndy London (sister of Dr. Patrick London and Kate Sanders' best friend), Frank O'Neill (Harry O'Neill's brother), Clover Wilde, Jinx Rollins, and wacky Alex Olanov.

Members Dale Posted December 20, 2008 Members Share Posted December 20, 2008 I remember in the 80's everyone was criticizing GL for having Reva Shayne so obsessed with marrying Lewis men, and would be Lewis men....Billy, Kyle, HB, Josh. Meanwhile, Delila Ralston flew under the radar when she married THREE Buchanans...Asa, Bo and Rafe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
