Members chrisml Posted Wednesday at 11:52 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 11:52 PM What are some of your favourite Ada moments? I have been thinking about Constance Ford lately because I recently watched A Summer Place after all those years of seeing the meme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tisy-Lish Posted Thursday at 12:27 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 12:27 AM (edited) I always loved the arguments between Ada and Rachel way back when Rachel was still bad. Ada would really let Rachel have it, but Rachel never seemed to listen. Then a week or so later, they'd both be back in Ada's kitchen or living-room, and start the argument all over again. LOL. The viewers could hear the exasperation in Ada's voice and see it in her eyes. This went on for years -- while Agnes Nixon, Robert Cenadella, and Harding Lemay were head-writers. And then of course, there's that wonderful scene between Connie Ford and Jacquie Courtney around 1973-ish. Ada show's up at the Matthews house hoping to visit her best-friend Mary. But Alice opens the door nearly in tears. This is during some of the worst turmoil between Alice/Steve/Rachel. Ada tries to comfort Alice, but Ada feels guilty for what her own daughter had brought upon Alice. Both Ford and Courtney play that scene perfectly. The kindness versus the awkwardness between the two characters is amazingly played. Edited Thursday at 12:37 AM by Tisy-Lish 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted Thursday at 01:31 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 01:31 AM I believe it's that the article describes Ada as the matriarch of the show for a quarter century, when Mary Matthews was the original matriarch until 1975 when the character died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted Thursday at 12:32 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 12:32 PM Ada has an experience at the hospital that unnerves her. Back home Rachel wants to know what's wrong but Ada really doesn't want to talk about it. She's having a hard time thinking about growing older. In April 1992, the AW Fan Luncheon, called "Baby Follies" & Connie sings which the fans loved! Connie Ford in ROME ADVENTURE. One scene cracks me up. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIjAI28pJx-/ Ada argues with her #2 daughter, Nancy. It's over drinking & misusing a credit card. Nancy thinks she's a grown-ass woman but Ada says she's both still a minor & acting like a child. https://www.instagram.com/p/DIjAf-Lpei7/ As she did all of Rachel's life, Ada is giving her advice, mostly about Mac but some about Amanda or Janice Frame.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted Thursday at 01:08 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 01:08 PM https://www.instagram.com/p/DIjHh4Qpoe3/ My favorite actress Constance Ford as Ada on AW was well known for her use of props. I call this "Kitchen Boogie". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted Thursday at 02:16 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 02:16 PM I had so many online friends from Canada!!! Toronto & also other places. They were always furious that they were not counted in the ratings. You couldn't blame them, either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM One thing that fans have asked me over & over is if I have a picture of Felicia with longer hair. They are referring, of course, to the time she had extensions. They were first seen for her birthday bash. Also at that time, which went on for a whole week, I think, Anna Stuart was just back FINALLY as Donna Love & Jason Frame got himself shot & dead in the Room of Mirrors. So, I looked & looked & did research & even tried to get some from Linda Dano but there were just none to be found. So, persevering I made some using screen capture & a little photo editing. Hope you enjoy these. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members watson71 Posted yesterday at 02:28 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 02:28 AM Anyone catch today’s Beyond the Gates? They had a wounded firefighter was named Kirkland. Is this Kirkland Harrison from Another World all grown up? It just seems a peculiar name for a random under 5 character…. http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/1kirkland.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted yesterday at 02:33 AM Members Share Posted yesterday at 02:33 AM I think I watched the wrong episode today. Specifically I now believe I watched the day before today. What does it say that I apparently watched Wednesday two times without realizing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
