wow. is this the way i respond? Watching the 1980 early episodes. Carol Shelley really did a great job of replacing Bev as Iris. I thought when I first saw her that she was too old for the role. Ironically, Bev is (was) actually older than Carol Shelley. maybe it was the blonder hair. In real life, both actress's are very close in age to doug watson. I guess back then, it was believable for Mack to be Daddy. I really did like Carmen Duncan as Iris but she was not the spoiled bitch. Duncan took over a more businesswan type of role which was not Iris. Just an FYI, if u want to purchase the DVDS off Eddie, it is classic to see Carol portraying Iris.

Spencer Treat Clark (Steven Frame), who was so good in Unbreakable, has gone on to have a long career as an adult - he's done a couple Law and Orders and a lot of film, including the Last House on the Left remake with Garret Dillahunt. But I just spotted him the other day in the trailer for The Last Exorcism II - which I was going to see anyway, since I loved the first, sue me. What's really exciting, though, is that he is also featured in Joss Whedon's upcoming film of Much Ado About Nothing. Generally when an actor enters the Whedon stable they never leave, or lack for interesting work. He also grew up to be uncomfortably hot, but that's beside the point.

His sister, Eliza, I remember from some semi-autobiographical webseries I stumbled across where she was pretty funny. What I didn't realize until much later is that she was actually one of the pre-Erin Torpey Jessica Buchanans on OLTL. Would that she could have taken the role from Bree Williamson.

In any of the episodes that you've seen, does Bill Wolff announce that Beverlee is out due to illness and Carole's playing Iris?

Poor Beverlee. I didn't know about her losing some of the functionality in her arm. And as far as the anesthesia thing is concerned, I don't know how the devil they handled her transplant. Well, I guess there had been medical advancements in those fifteen or so years.

I agree. The later scenes were def more Iris but I thought the scene with her and Reena were so Iris. Her gossiping about Pat Randolph. I personally thought she did a great job at replacing Bev. I remember when she was on but of course I was in 6th grade. I thought she looked kind of old but as I said above, I winkepdia and Bev was older than Carol

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
