All I can say is, you ain't gonna hear Susan Lucci talk s**t about anyone she worked with on AMC, and we ALL know about her and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

It actually is (was?) hard for me to be empathetic because there have been better actresses than she who dealt with even greener performers than JR Martinez, and those people didn’t choose to downgrade their scene partners in the press while also trashing their respective shows (which they had been on for longer than a mere year). Identifying “blunt” doesn’t make “blunt” appealing.

 


I can think of several, and none of them featured Beth Ehlers. The character was a flop on an already bloated canvas. Brot ended up actually serving a purpose and was integrated into an established family. Taylor was pointless, and I’m sorry JR Martinez’s first year was stuck opposite such a boring character.

I don't disagree with you that the character was a flop. Love Beth but Taylor was no Harley.  I blamed the writers for that. Brots character was also boring to me. I only liked Martinez off the show....the same for Cameron Mathison. They're better celebrities than actors.  I guess we have different taste

Not necessary, no. Until yesterday your only other post was an overly long attack on someone for criticizing Beth Ehlers. All your posts since are overly long defenses of Beth Ehlers. All your prior screen name's posts were overly long defenses of/attacks on behalf of Beth Ehlers. The style, length and vitriol are identical. It's not particularly upsetting or offensive to me, it's just boring. But you do you, girl.

I've been lurking through these boards for years...looking for updates on whoever. But mainly Ehlers. Never posted anything. Ehlers as always been a favorite of mine but she's not in the public eye. She's a ghost. But I've often wonder if she's oblivious to these boards and gossip sites.  Is she ok with misinformation about her career and love/family life being spread consistently. I can't stand it. Since I'm a Twitter monkey as of late,  i find it easy to post on these boards now. Not shy anymore. I'll keep going

No we don't know. That's another relentless piece of gossip people keep throwing around.  But Susan Lucci is a Queen that never had to talk or lift a finger.  Always smiling while getting her way.  Queen of Daytime.

What is the misinformation being spread and how can you personally corroborate clearing it up?

That one always tries to bully people, Kimmy. He’s been trying to control the board for years. SMH.

Check your board settings. Long story short: "TV4Me" called my buddy a 'low-life dirtbag' for slandering Ehlers. It amused me tremendously.

 

The truth hurts.

I can vouch for this. Constantly bullying me! IDK who to file a complaint with but it's coming. Oh it's coming.

Hmmm....let me think...WAIT. Oh you're so clever! You're terribly good at baiting...WOW.  Your cleverness almost slipped pass me! I swallowed hook, line, and sinker. 

The professionals know exactly how it works don't they?

I will however ask you to stop spreading misinformation about me. I don't call people scumbags and dirt bags. I just asked my husband and he is personally corroborating this. I hope it's clear enough for you.

Oh yeah. For years??...lol. Well I don't consider that bullying to be honest.  Not towards me. And no one controls my keyboard but me. Assuming he/she is not a moderator

Anyway...

 

I've seen some of L. Virginia Brown's work on AW, which I enjoyed. How was her work on GL? The period between Marland and Pam Long is a weird period for the show, and I know Brown was one of the many HWs during that time.

The most I remember is Chris Schemering's book saying the ratings rose by a million viewers during her tenure. I think she may have been the one who aged Philip and they recast him with Grant Aleksander, but I'm not sure. There are a few March 1983 episodes on Youtube but they seem to be after her departure.

Thanks, it seems like P&G never gave her much of a fair chance at either AW or GL then. 

 

You've probably already seen this but the only later 1982 I can find is the Christmas episode. i wonder if she was there then.

It's such a pity that GL took an axe to the cast to make way for newbies. 

If only they has kept a better mix. Tghe show had nothing to fall back on as each new writers dropped some of the previous gegimes and introduced new characters

We had remnants of the Bauers, Reardons, Shaynes, Lewis but no strong core.

How many of those older/longer running characters actually wanted to leave?

Justin for example?
