Members soapfan770 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Anyone mentions of Gordon Thompson, Cali Trimmins, Brenda Epperson, Christopher Templeton and Richard Biggs yet? You know, it's funny I didn't know her incredible soap history until after looking her up following on of her many countless appearances as Judge Marsha Fitzpatrick on Days in the last decade. It's a shame they've never expanded her character, who has been shown to a devout defender and upholder of truth and justice yet then last year we saw her taking her "usual bribes" from Stefano and Victor. She didn't seem happy to do so either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I mentioned Cali. I was going to mention Brenda, I swear. She's still the Ashley I had such good memories of (of course they didn't make her steal sperm). Richard He was great on daytime but I always think of him for his work on Babylon 5. I didn't know Marsha was still working in soaps. It's a shame DAYS doesn't do more with her. Her work as Hillary was, from the clips I've seen, really really good. She was funny, cautious, supportive, yet not a pushover. She was very relateable. I think GL writing off the relateable women is one of the reasons their ratings fell. I will also add: Lenore Kasdorf Denise Pence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Before we even knew what an Alicia Minshew was, she was my pick to replace SMG as Kendall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 You apparently never saw her brilliant 90s work on maxi pad ads... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 I think Wendy is good as a bitch but when they tried to make her poor little rich girl/heroine on GL I had to tune out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Kristina Wagner. Not the best actress ever, but beautiful, pleasant, the camera loves her, she has a nice persona, and when called on she delivered one of the most dramatic moments in GH history. She has so many things going for her looks and charm wise, not being Meryl Streep doesn't really enter into her equation, or shouldn't anyway.

Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Kristina was such a reliable part of GH, and underrated, then they destroyed Felicia with that Luke affair. I hated it when they brought her back and they kept saying what a terrible mother she was. The two Sharons were definitely superb.

Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Would Larry Haines be considered underrated? This probably sounds insane, but I know him more as Gwyn's (the underrated Christine Tudor) dad on Loving than from Search, but you just gotta love the guy. His little grunts and Bob Newhart stammers, he was so Disney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 We didn't see his best years on Search so in that sense he and many other vets from the days of soaps we will never really see are underrated. I liked him a lot on Loving. I also liked him on AW as Ada's boyfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Nancy Pinkerton, now there's a name that makes me wish I'd been born a decade sooner. '70s OLTL and AW are my top picks for lost episodes I'd love to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 Oh wow, I didn't realize he'd played Ada's boyfriend. I remember how pleasantly surprised I was when I realized that the Chief from Gimme a Break (Dolph Sweet) had been Ada's husband. I have an episode with them and from what I gather a lot of their scenes took place in their kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted March 20, 2010 Members Share Posted March 20, 2010 On Loving, before Lisa Peluso took over the role of Ava, there was Roya Megnot Here's part 3 of Jack and Stacey's Rehearsal Dinner but the entire episode she shines. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-02ipUbp0Gg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
