Members Paul Raven Posted February 14, 2015 Author Members Share Posted February 14, 2015 Audra Lindley as Liz Matthews 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted February 14, 2015 Members Share Posted February 14, 2015 Great photo of Audra. It's weird to think how funny and lovable she was on Three's Company as Mrs. Roper and then to hear and read how hateful her character of Liz Matthews was on AW in the 60's. I listened to some audio clips of her as Liz from 1969 and she was a raging witch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 14, 2015 Members Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'd never seen those photos before. She really did look a lot different when she wasn't "Mrs. Roper", before she was "Mrs. Roper". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 I've only seen bits and pieces of the Sharlene/Sharly DID story, but how does hardcore AW fans feel about the story? Was it good or a hot mess like DID stories came to be on OLTL? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Didn't DID storylines get BOTH Sharlenes (Laurie Heinemann and Anna Holbrook) Emmys? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Anna won for the John/Sharlene/Felicia triangle. I haven't watched the later DID story, with Kate, but the one with Sharly was OK. It wasn't a disgrace, mostly because Anna played both personalities expertly, and Anna and Dack Rambo had solid chemistry (and the show made sure they never had sex). I always had some mixed feelings about it because I don't think they needed to put a sexual abuse history onto Sharlene. Her past as a hooker was one thing, but saying Jason had pimped her out as a child, and then all the stuff with Sharly and the mess with Taylor Benson...it almost felt like too much. I really liked the strong-yet-vulnerable woman we saw in her first 6-7 months on the show, the one who went toe to toe with Rachel and represented the Frame legacy.

Members amybrickwallace Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Thank you for clarifying that. I know David Forsyth left AW in the summer of 1997, but didn't he come back for a few days in 1998? I know Anna Holbrook did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Forsyth never returned after being fired. Holbrook did a few times - for Josie's wedding, and when Josie lost her baby in late 1998 or early 1999. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Did Sharlene morph in personality with the recast? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 Grant and Sharlene didn't sleep together? Shocking. Surprised that soap writers didn't capitalize on it. And wasn't Kate the Sharlene returning story in 94? If so, I didn't know that Kate was an altar too. I always thought that was just an identity she was using b/c she was suffering from amnesia at that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) Kate was an alter. She was a gatekeeper type because Sharlene needed her after everything that had happened. She sacrificed herself so that John could have Sharlene back. Yes, today Sharly and John would have been all over each other. I think they didn't want to write it that way here because it was still a bit of a triangle after she integrated. They did say she'd slept with Lucas years earlier, during a Sharly period. I'm not sure why the show went that route as it went nowhere. Edited February 15, 2015 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 15, 2015 Members Share Posted February 15, 2015 There's so little of Laurie's Sharlene around, but I think Anna did a decent job with the transition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted February 16, 2015 Members Share Posted February 16, 2015 I do remember Sharlene coming back to be with Josie after the miscarriage. That was in the spring of 1999 - either March or April - right around the time the cancellation was announced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
