Maree was on for a hot minute and told her story about being cold in NYC and wearing fuzzy slippers in the studio. Mary Stuart took one look at her and said, “This is our new sex symbol?”  Mary told the same story in her book BOTH OF ME. 

 

Marcia was an extra on the show one week then auditioned for Laine the next. Obviously she didn’t get that, but Mary-Ellis Bunim asked her if she’d auditioned for Sunny. 
 

Michael looks good but needs to go gray. The darker-than-natural hair color is distracting.

Was Maree really on very briefly?  Why didn't she stay around?  She's the only one I am really interested in seeing.   

[antmunoz]

Maree couldn’t get her video working. 
 

Alan started the show like an hour late. 
 

Maree had an audition to get to. 
 

She said Lisa Peluso had a death in the family but wanted to participate. Maree suggested a future mother/daughter show. 

[victoria foxton]

She said she was going to an audition.

[Soapsuds]

What a hot mess!  I'll skip this one!  Alan needs to get his sh!t together.

[DRW50]

What a shambles. You have a legend like Maree Cheatham and you can't even get the time right? I take more precaution when I go to watch someone's [!@#$%^&*] stream of a TV show from 40 years ago! 

[antmunoz]

Marcia and Michael had lovely things to say about Maree, Mary and Larry. 
 

Susan Scannell couldn’t participate today but wants to do a future show. 
 

Michael’s favorite Suzi was Elizabeth Swackhamer, oddly enough. They’re still close friends but I don’t think she lasted more than 13 weeks. 
 

Marcia mourned for Marcus Smythe and Doug Stevenson. 
 

Their favorite producer was Joanna Lee. 

[DRW50]

 

Thanks for the recap. I thought I'd heard Susan was ill at one point so I'm glad she is doing better. I'd love to hear her thoughts about Another Life. 

 

Lee did the rape story with Sunny, right?

[antmunoz]

Hogan was on the show when Sunny was raped by Jack. Lee was years earlier. 
 

They joked about ANOTHER LIFE. “A Christian soap opera filmed locally in West Virginia!”  They couldn’t remember the name. SEARCH FOR JESUS?, suggested Michael. 
 

Marcia said Mary Stuart couldn’t swim and was actually in danger of drowning while in a water tank filming the flood. 

[DRW50]

 

Thanks. I wonder if they were ever offered parts on it...

 

Wow, Mary really gave her all for the show.

[dc11786]

I think @DRW50meant if Joanna Lee was producer. She wasn’t. Lee’s last episodes aired in December 1983 and the rape was February 1984. The story was in its early stages as she left or right after. 
 

Ellen Barrett was producer. I think she wanted less scenes which would explain why there was the rape episode

[antmunoz]

Whoops. I went immediately to the character of Lee, not Joanna Lee. 
 

Gawd, Alan. Marcia mentioned Dennis Parlato from OLTL and Alan said he temporarily replaced Chris Bernau on GL. 

 

Michael Zaslow, you idiot.  And not temporarily. 
 

Then he asked Marcia if she enjoyed working with Larry Lau on ATWT and she was like, I didn’t.  LOL. Her few scenes on one episode were with Van Hansis. 

[DRW50]

Thanks @dc11786. I get them all jumbled together.

[Soaplovers]

I thought Marcia and Michael were good panelists...and Alan didn't talk too much.

 

I did like Marcia's answer when Alan asked if she'd go back in daytime.  Basically no soaps in the East Coast and writers not writing for women of a certain age.

 

Maybe time for Alan to hand the reigns over to someone else.  How could he not know about the live episode.  Lack of good research.
