Such a gem. Thank you!

Wow, what a treat! Thanks for sharing. I always wondered if she drew inspiration from the jingles the clown story to. Definitely some parallels there. Henry Slaser took over head writing Somerset from Robert Cenedella, who was co-head writer with Jacker at AW in the beginning of 82, perhaps a suggestion from him.

Thanks. I didn't realize Cenedella was back. I can see where he may have wanted to go back to basics. Beyond Jingles, the story of the servant trying to ruin the heroine was also a story he did with Pat and Rue McLanahan.

Alma dressed up as the doll was very memorable. I thought as well that there was some kind of clown element in Quinn's stalker storyline the following year but I don't seem to find any reference to it -- have I misremembered?

I was thinking about Alma recently because Lois Smith who played her friend Ella Fitz was on an episode of Elsbeth a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for pointing out Ilsa.

Kyra Sedgwick as Julia! I never realised at the time that she/Julia was so young, I assumed she was over twenty at least.

thanks @watson71 for sharing the episode.

Stuff of nightmares. I would love to be able to see the entire storyline.

Sounds like Carol was not fond of Connie Ford.

For those of us who can't listen to an hour and a half interview -- can you tell us what Carol said about Connie Ford?    Thank you.

Thanks, @DRW50.

The Jingles the Clown story on Somerset, as penned by the great Henry Slesar, was great.

I wish you could have seen it. It tapped into many people's very real fear of clowns.

I have not found the time to listen to the whole thing myself, but I was tinkering with the Youtube AI helpbot thing (which in the app I found by swiping right on the Comments). The high level summary didn't point to it but it let me ask what she had said about Constance Ford and although its paraphrase was inaccurate it did point me to the mention about 52 minutes in.

The only thing she said in relation to Ford that could be construed as negative was that when the interviewer asked what she had thought of her she started with "you devil!" and where she had gushed about how lovely she found practically everyone else, she just said that she hadn't really known Connie well and had never sat and talked with her.

She also mentioned earlier that originally she had been very friendly with Jacqueline Courtney but they had later fallen out.

Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.   

I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.
