Members SFK Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Carl, I don't think we ever saw any of Alex's family, that's a good one. How about Gloria on AMC? Did Katherine have family on GH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 We saw Gloria's mother briefly, she was a fervent evangelist. I think Katherine was supposed to be Dominique's half-sister, via an affair with a servant or something, wasn't she? I know the Katherine haters used to hoot at her backstory.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Gloria's mother was primarily in flashbacks (then I think she came to town?) She was very much like Laurie Piper's mother character in Carrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Ryan's Hope: Jack Finelli should get at least an honorary mention. Aside from the daughter he had with Mary, he had absolutely no family on the show for nearly its entire lifespan, until they suddenly revealed that Sister Mary Joel was his biological mother Seneca Beaulac - his mother Marquerite briefly visited him several times in 1976 but otherwise he was usually attached to the Harrises/Woodards or Jill I think she came to town briefly when Gloria was with Adam or Stuart. She gave Gloria hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Yep. I loved that Gloria story as a kid for some reason (I suppose it was done partly to redeem her, along with the--of course--rape) (though I have Gloria's mom and Janet/Natalie's mom a bit muddled in my memory) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I wish I could see more of that, I mostly only saw the last few years of Gloria. She was one of my favorite characters. I hate "redemption through rape" stories but aside from Kit Fisher, most of the characters in those stories were strong enough to be able to survive them. Joyce Van Patten has that deep voice, I imagine her shouting out Biblical passages. I assume there was no talk of dirty pillows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Definetely agreed. Even though she was rail thin even by soap standards--I loved Gloria too. It's a shame that after the Alec storyline (which ironically was in many ways a retread of the Stuart/Adam story) she never really had a major storyline again--even with her romances with Dimi and Tad and as a cheerleader for Michael's gay crusade.

Members DRW50 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 I guess we never saw any of Alec's family either, aside from his son Jamal. Laura Kirk -- we never saw any of her family, did we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Nope. I wanna say at one time she was looking for her mom but that might just be the cliche in me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Did her mother die in a fire Laura set? Or Jim Thomasen made her think she set it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 AMC's Krystal. Im not counting her children. We really dont know much about her background as none of her family has come on and she's only ever talked about 1 aunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted February 25, 2010 Members Share Posted February 25, 2010 Dr Sarah McIntyre on GL was around for many years without any family. Dr Marlena Evans. Her cousin Trista briefly showed up though, as well as her twin Samantha. That's not much in a family show like DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
