Carmen Duncan is the only Iris I know so she is Iris to me. Duncan's work during The Chief/Mac's Death storylines was Emmy worthy. She was magnificent. When I see Beverlee McKinsey as Iris, she comes across as over the top because I'm used to Duncan.

Watching clips from 81

Liking this Alice, she's got spunk

WOW, I presume Cecile is making it seem like Jamie hit her?

Mac (with the Joker hairstyle) is basically blackmailing Rachel

Joey, Rick, Jerry, Mitch, and Jamie are HOT imo

I think us, who knew and loved Beverlee's Iris just see Carmen Duncan as just different and not really Iris.  I do like Carmen Duncan very much and she did a great job portraying Iris but in a different way.  Even when she appeared in 1988 and I thought maybe someone else should have been casted for the role, I still thought she was great.  I always say, dont blame the actor, blame the soap.  They are responsible for turning someone into a completely different person when they recast.  Rachel and Iris would have never gotten even rometely along if it was Bev's Iris.  

I believe at one time there was talk of Pammy Davis (Rachel's sister) returning.  Technically she was on Somerset and not AW (spin off soap).  I could be wrong.  I don't recall if there was any real interaction between Rachel and her sister Pammy who was not Ada's daughter. Someone wrote that even a soap magazine wrote they were casting for the role but obvisoulsy it never happened..  They should have had Rachel's father return to town.  When Connie Ford passed away, I think Jordan Charney should have returned as her brother, Sam Lucas.  He was best known as Mr Angelino on Three's Company in the late 70's after he left AW around 1975.  At least for the funeral anyway but AW had lost all is real family connections at this point and probably know one even knew about these characters..

He didn't get the part. Brian Green AKA Singing Sam did. As for Mitch Longley, he came in September 1991

She was born on Somerset. When their marriage crumbled, (I think Sam had an affair) Lahoma took her and left. Sam then went back to Bay City but eventually found them and left to go be with them.

    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point. 
    • At this point Y&R's next step is to go fully green screen and have the actors Zoom from home.
    • I was just taking about this in the Y&R thread - they desperately need better studio space. 
    • Errol posted that Ed Scott retired
