Members DRW50 Posted July 25, 2024 Members Share Posted July 25, 2024 (edited) Steve was already ill around the August 1975 episode (the synopses posted mention him having a dizzy spell). I think he goes into remission and then when Nouri presumably wanted to leave, his illness returned, and he died.

Members robbwolff Posted July 26, 2024 Members Share Posted July 26, 2024 When did Rod Arrants return? I know Liza encountered a Travis lookalike in the Henderson airport in the final episode, but the character (Sam Ratcliffe) wasn't played by Rod. Did Rod return at another time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 26, 2024 Members Share Posted July 26, 2024 Oh I might be mixing it up with when Dennis Parlato returned at the end of Loving as a lookalike. Sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted July 26, 2024 Members Share Posted July 26, 2024 I could have sworn that somebody (Gerald J. Wagett?) wrote that Rod played the last episode Travis lookalike. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 26, 2024 Members Share Posted July 26, 2024 That's what I thought too. I think I may just have never watched the scene... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted July 26, 2024 Members Share Posted July 26, 2024 The final episode is available online. This is the scene where Liza meets the Travis lookalike in the airport. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 27, 2024 Members Share Posted July 27, 2024 Mary Stuart's final words ("They were wonderful years") always tear me up. You literally could see her heart breaking. She wasn't ready to let go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 27, 2024 Members Share Posted July 27, 2024 (edited) Thanks. I've mostly just watched the last moments over the years. So I guess he's just meant to look like Travis because he has a 'fro? Imagine if she had gotten hooked on Bob Ross repeats instead... Poor Louan Gideon did play the moment well.

Members Franko Posted July 27, 2024 Members Share Posted July 27, 2024 Absolutely. At the same time, it's perfect/fitting that she got to be the one to bring the curtain down on a never again era/mentality/je ne sais quoi of soaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members anthonymolchan Posted August 26, 2024 Members Share Posted August 26, 2024 It’s not Rod Arrants as Sam. But Adam Storke (ex-Ryder) and Larkin Malloy (ex-Sky, EON) are in the airport scenes. The reconciliation of Estelle and TR (why she calls her daughter Rebecca “Theresa (Regina)” is odd though) is quite touching. Jane was wonderful on the show. I always liked Louan and felt that she just got (hair)styled a bit too matronly as Liza compared to Sherry. It didn’t help that Patti hijacked Hogan. Sunny’s happing ending should’ve been with Hogan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 26, 2024 Members Share Posted August 26, 2024 Thanks. I didn't realize Larkin and Adam were there. Not sure why they even killed off Ryder. I guess Larkin was done with GL by this point. I do wonder how fans at the end even felt about Patti, especially her just coming in and taking stories of established characters. Patti hadn't been important to the show for a decade or more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted August 26, 2024 Members Share Posted August 26, 2024 The casting for Patti was all wrong, and she was almost a generation younger than the character should have been. Plus, bringing her back to Henderson alone with none of her children seemed a waste. Having Patti return to the show was a generally good idea, but the execution was horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted August 26, 2024 Members Share Posted August 26, 2024 I could be wrong, but I think he still was with GL. He only appeared in SFT's final episode, because much of the crew there had also worked on EON in the same studio (EUE/Screen Gems). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 26, 2024 Members Share Posted August 26, 2024 And then giving her a daughter who was killed off before her arrival (was there ever much mention of that?). Thanks. I always get confused about just when Larkin left GL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
