Members Reverend Ruthledge Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 Could be. My 70s historical knowledge is spotty but he could be referring to winning Leslie's court case when she was tried for murdering Stanley Norris which would have been 1972, I believe. I didn't know he was shot right after that, though. I wonder who shot him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 In 1972, Mike was married to Charlotte Waring while he was defending Leslie on charges of murdering Stanley Norris. Their union ended bitterly, however, because of Charlotte's insecurity and treachery (she was jealous of Leslie and even tried to sabotage Mike's defense strategy by leaking his legal plans to the D.A.) A low-life former associate of Charlotte's named Flip Malone kidnapped her and ultimately tried to kill her. Mike, forever the hero, had come to rescue her. He jumped between Charlotte and the gun and got shot in the chest. Trying to escape, Flip sped off and died in a car crash. Although she wanted to reconcile with Mike, Charlotte could not win him back. Their marriage was permanently over. Mike recovered from being shot and subsequently married Leslie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reverend Ruthledge Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 Thanks for the history lesson. I was at least partially right with it being Leslie he was defending and the year being 1972. I didn't remember about Flip Malone. I guess the butterfly collar was a 1972 thing. I didn't think they came along until the late 70s. My fashion knowledge isn't as extensive as my TGL knowledge. To say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 I lived through the fashions of the 1960s and 1970s, but as bizarre as some of the styles looked in those days, nothing was worse than the hairdos of the 1980s, LOL! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 Very cool and thanks for sharing. There may be other things of interest on that channel but on my phone so not able to check. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 (edited) Thanks. Most of the soap related videos on the channel I've posted here already (they had a Morgan Fairchild interview which was taken down, I think), but there are some other interesting videos. Thanks for the extra detail. I wish we could see some of Charlotte. Which Charlotte did you prefer? Edited May 15 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 Of the two principle actresses who played the role (there were a couple of short-term fill-ins, as I recall), Victoria Wyndham was more nuanced and subtle. Melinda Fee struck me as too sledge-hammery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 15 Members Share Posted May 15 (edited) Thanks. That describes anything I've seen of Fee. After seeing a bit of Barbara Stanger's complex Mary on DAYS, Melinda's drag queen version was not a great experience. Still, I can't criticize what I never saw, so I appreciate your perspective.

Members wonderwoman1951 Posted May 16 Members Share Posted May 16 the guy interviewing don stewart was beyond obsequious — nauseating, and a little creepy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted May 16 Members Share Posted May 16 Melinda Fee never showed any nuance or subtle shades on either TGL or DAYS, IMHO. I found her a let-down after Victoria Wyndham and Barbara Stranger. I agree. Stewart seemed relaxed in the clip but that interviewer creeped me out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted May 16 Author Members Share Posted May 16 I think he had a bit of a thing for Don... and Don was playing along with that 'I'll sit on your lap' reference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted May 19 Members Share Posted May 19 Is it just me, or is Larkin Malloy a graduate from The. William. Shatner. School of Act-ING ? I'm sure the stilted dialogue and talking endlessly to portraits doesn't help, but he just doesn't seem like a good fit for the show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
