Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear.  I did not feel sorry for Ms Barcroft because she lacked acting skills.  I felt sorry for her because she had once played a very major character on AW but was, in 1989, hired as a day-player to perform as a pharmacist selling condoms.  

In a soap mag interview at the time, Ms Barcroft explained that she walked into the Brooklyn studio and still knew her way around.  But the only actor in the 1989 cast who she had worked with as Lenore was Connie Ford (Ada), but Ms Ford was not working that day.  So she felt at home in the studio while still feeling very alone. So that's why I commented that I felt sorry for her.

And for a complete newbie to both soaps like me... both Libi... (I thought this was a word you made up) and Red Swan mean absolutely nothing to me. But I guess I'll find out some day.

Now that is just... horrible and devastating in so many ways. And sounds like a story from a movie. An actress who was once a leading star in a soap opera... decades later returns, but they give her scraps.

Still friends! You guys are so tolerant! I am unable to be friends with people who disagree with me. One single disagree and they are out of my life. (Unless they are cute or buy me presents.)

Maxim -- I'd never thought of it that way, but I suppose that situation could be exaggerated into a movie.  I'm sure Ms Barcroft was paid well for her one-day in the studio, but still it was difficult for long-term AW fans to see her playing such an insignificant role.

The Red Swan is a storyline, yes, later, and I won't spoil anything, so this is a safe communication. Anyway, we heard about the Red Swan each & every day for about a year and a half. There were reasons, justifiable ones, why it went on so long. But, all of us were about ready to scream if they talked about that Da&ned Swan one more single time! Alternately some of us wished just to get our hands on it, for maybe 11 minutes & that would be enough time to destroy that awful thing.

Libidizone is the AMC equivalent. It was a chemical that made people lose all their inhibitions.

Y&R it's reliquary. Which is something like an ancient article.
