The Soap Box

BYRNE, BABY, BYRNE

By Alan Carter

With apologies to Esquire, I'm periodically going to showcase the soap women- and men-we love. First: Martha Byrne (As the World Turns). Assuming the role of Lily in 1985, Byrne made her a marvelously morose teen, winning a 1987 Emmy. ''It was easy,'' says Byrne, now 24. ''As a teenager you're depressed to begin with.'' After she quit in 1989, her replacement never quite flowered. Last year Byrne returned as Lily, currently a torch singer and kidnap victim, expertly portraying her as ''a total emotional mess.'' She now anchors one of daytime's most compelling love triangles with Lily's husband, Damian (Paolo Seganti), and Holden (Jon Hensley). ''The audience is really torn-which I love,'' says Byrne. ''One (fan) letter says, 'I love you.' Another says, 'You're a tramp.' What more could I want?''

The snippet from the SPW Jessica/Duncan article was great -- too bad soaps aren't so committed to telling strong social issue and romance stories today.

Seeing those old cast photos from the 60s and 70s are wonderful. Do you know who everyone is in them? Who was in the dressing room and who was that above Kim and Doug and Frannie?

Thanks again for all this stuff. And for the moment where Judge Lowell is looking at Zach Roerig's nipples :lol:

Thanks for all this.

I wonder who Franny Brennan was. Apparently no one important if they made her sit on the floor!

I didn't know Augusta Dabney and William Prince were on this show. They were fairly big soap names at the time but it doesn't seem like they stayed around too long.

Eileen Fulton seems a bit meek in that 1965 photo.

Franny was David Stewart's housekeeper. I think she was obsessed with him. I should check.

The Holmeses played by Prince and Dabney were a failure. Katherine Babecki created them soon after Irna Phillips left headwriting the show. She wanted a new family but they were soon written off. Bill Holmes told his daughter Amanda her real mother was Sara Fuller, Don's boyfriend. Sara fell down the stairs and died. The story caused marital problems for Nancy and Chris as Nancy was sure Amanda pushed Sara while Chris was defending her. Amanda was cleared, dated Don ironically and left town soon after.

Oh, Franny was the woman Ellen went on trial for killing? I wonder how she felt when Bob's daughter was called Frannie...

I didn't know that about the Holmes family. I wonder why they were a failure? Dabney seems like she would have fit in well at ATWT.

And where is Emma, Holden..etc?? No way would Marland leave them out in the finale! Shame on YOU GOUTMAN and PISSYY!!

  • Member

No Bob, no Kim? What is Susan doing there without her daughters?

I'm gonna just believe, for now, that they've taped parts of it already.

Yup....no Emily...or Paul....although I cant stand RH in the role.

This makes much more sense. Like I said, they probably spread the episode out over more than one work day. I believe that's entire contract cast, plus Lily, Janet, Susan, Emma, John, and the kids. Interestingly, there's no Noah or Reid. Maybe we'll get an "I've made my choice, and I choose me." (© 1995, Kelly Taylor) scene.
