Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think that was down to JFP. She isn't exactly a JFP type character. From what I've read she was pretty badly written, especially when she made fun of Cass' daughter having a heart condition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members teplin Posted July 10, 2011 Members Share Posted July 10, 2011 I thought Cass-Nicole was a horrible pairing. Especially compared to the way Cass and Kathleen had lit up the screen, Cass and Nicole were just really boring. Since every other woman who's ever been paired with Stephen Schnetzer had chemistry with him, I blame Anne Howard. I remember being very excited when Sharon Gabet came to AW. She was a force of nature as Raven on EON, but the writers completely let her down as Brittany Peterson. It was a complete bust. I didn't remember AW had toyed with Mitch-Alice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 11, 2011 Members Share Posted July 11, 2011 I loved Barbara Baxley in Nashville. I wish her AW stint had worked out better...she should have been there for Lemay's era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted July 11, 2011 Members Share Posted July 11, 2011 Barbara Baxley was an Actors Studio actor. I believe she originated Natalya in that infamously disastrous production of The Three Sisters (directed by Lee Strasberg) before being replaced with Shelley Winters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thelma Posted July 11, 2011 Members Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) The user on YouTube who's been posting The Love/McKinnon storyline uploaded the infamous scene where Reginald shows Donna a mysterious picture sending her off the deep end. She also clutches three pillows before being carted off to the loony bin. I really wish they had gone with Scott being her third baby. I'll admit. I'm enjoying re-watching this stuff and appreciating it more and more. Better than anything else on the air today for sure. One observation is the amazing background music in some of the scenes. (Not the 80's pop stuff at Mary's Place though.) <iframe width="425" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_kjZAJP8KXQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Edited July 11, 2011 by thelma 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Melroser Posted July 12, 2011 Members Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) watching these old clips reminds me how much i miss this show still. Donna, Felicia, Cass, Kathleen.... I remember all the talk about Scott being a 'triplet' and think that storyline would have been so much better whether it were Philece Sampler as Donna or not. But at that time the whole Love family was badly miscast: Donna, Nicole, Vicky. Scott being a 'triplet' could have brought so many more layers to Mary's return, but after her daughters realized she was still alive the story completely fizzled. Scott as a Love and raised by a McKinnon could have been interesting. Edited July 12, 2011 by Melroser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 12, 2011 Members Share Posted July 12, 2011 I always miss the AW characters. I never feel like the show is gone. The characters are just so alive. I think AW had the most human, three-dimensional characters of any soap. I guess I should go read the AW soap that is still going on. How is it now? The last I heard was when they were trying to kill off Donna. I was just watching a DVD and when Louise wouldn't tell Iris what she wanted to hear, after Louise went to get Rachel, Iris went outside and started oh-so-politely started cutting up Louise's plants! It was just such delicious material. Speaking of delicious, I was reading Beverlee's reaction when she won a fan magazine award in 1979. "I learned everything I know from Laurie Heineman." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted July 12, 2011 Members Share Posted July 12, 2011 Both of these just made me laugh out loud for real. I've read much about Louise and she's always struck me as such as an odd character with all her plant naming. Would love to see some of Heineman's work sometime to see how she was and compared to another Emmy winner, Holbrook. I've heard Heineman's win was a fluke but there are a number of Oscar winners not well known outside of their win. One early 70s character I'm interested in is Bernice Robinson. The actress looks elegant what was her story and what happened to the actress? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted July 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) According to the AWHP,Vera Allen was out after the first month. It was mentioned later in June that she was out of town and unable to attend Alice's graduation because her niece Jane was having a baby and she'd left town to be with her. This shot of Ann Wedgeworth (Lahoma) is from 68 Edited July 12, 2011 by Paul Raven 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 12, 2011 Members Share Posted July 12, 2011 That's nice. I wish there was more of Lahoma. She seems so unique for a soap heroine. And she even ended up getting her own spinoff! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
