Members Sapounopera Posted August 27, 2020 Members Share Posted August 27, 2020 Were the Bauers originally named Baum? I always thought that ED's Blake would end up being Beth. So the Bauers and the Spauldings lived next to each other till the end of the show? Alan's bought a house for his family. Was this where he and Hope were staying? Ross's house was Ben McFarren and Amanda Spaulding's old place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted August 27, 2020 Members Share Posted August 27, 2020 If my memory is correct, the Spauldings and Bauers did not live next to each other, but their back yards were adjacent. Ed commented that the Spauling house was "up the hill" from his house, implying the Spauldings lived in a nicer neighborhood. I believe this was Alan and Hope's original house, but not sure if that was supposed to be the Spaulding Mansion we saw in the last 20 years of the show. I think the detail that the two properties were adjacent was forgotten by later writers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted August 27, 2020 Members Share Posted August 27, 2020 Thank you! Do you think that the show should have recast Alan and Blake once again at some point ? RR and LK never worked out for me. RR's Alan was more like Stefano Dimera and LK's Blake was... boring. Who could have played them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted August 27, 2020 Members Share Posted August 27, 2020 I think Ron Raines was well cast as Alan, but the writing became very bad shortly after he assumed the role. They turned a sophisticated millionaire into a bumbling fool. That wasn't Raines' fault, it was the writers. I don't have an opinion about Blake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mitch Posted August 28, 2020 Members Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yes, their backyard's were adjacent, that is how Alan and Rita got up to their..canoodling! But it was supposed to be the "smaller" house boring Hope wanted.(sorry but ER's Hope was dull as hell, no man wouldnt choose to get with Rita instead of her..) .but later just became the mansion...as late as JFP the yards connected...(Alex is trying to find out info from dimbulb Lucy at the Bauer BBQ and suggest she could show her the mansion, they just needed to go through those hedges and they would be in her yard.." During Long's time the Lewises, Chamberlins and Spaudlings all lived on "the Hill." I am not sure if the Bauers did as the backyards connected...and I can't believe I am writing about the georgraphy of a fictional town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted August 28, 2020 Members Share Posted August 28, 2020 I remember at a Bauer Barbeque (1991 maybe) Michelle wondered over to the Spauldings...and when Mo was looking for her..Blake said she saw her next door at the Spauldings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted August 29, 2020 Members Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Didn't Victoria Wyndham play Charlotte Bauer? Is there any existing video of her in the role? It would have been amazing to see Wyndham and Nancy Addison (Kit Vestid) together on screen.

Members Bill Bauer Posted August 29, 2020 Members Share Posted August 29, 2020 I read that the Bauers were first called "The Baums" from a history book. Whether it's true or not is anybody's guess. I don't think any of us were alive back then to listen first-hand. Unfortunately. I would tend to think that it's true because it seems way too random a piece of information to be made up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
