Members All My Shadows Posted May 3, 2010 Members Share Posted May 3, 2010 I couldn't believe my eyes when I read this. I just want a fitting tribute to her someone down the road. No matter what it is. I truly hate it when irony smacks me like this. Just yesterday, the weather outside was dreary all day, so I was inside watching Daytime Emmys videos online, and while watching the 2004 Lifetime Achievement Award presentation, I couldn't believe that F. Reid and R. Warrick were gone, but I was glad that we still had all the rest with us. But now Helen is gone, too, and when ATWT airs its final episode, Jeanne Cooper will be the only person from that set who is still playing her character. Just not a happy feeling...

Members ClassicsSoapFan Posted May 3, 2010 Members Share Posted May 3, 2010 Oh wow! Helen Wagner as Nancy has brought a lot of years of enjoyment to my family. We have all been ATWT fans. She was such a graceful lady. I liked the story where Nancy taught Lauren Hill's character how to read. She was never better then when she was interfering in her loved ones lives! ATWT is cancelled. It seemed like life was ending in Nashville this weekend. I turn on my computer to learn that she has died! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted May 3, 2010 Members Share Posted May 3, 2010 This is so sad! First Frances, and now Helen. :( There's even an aricle in a Swedish newspaper about this. ATWT have just been on air here for like maybe 2 years, and the media over here doesn't nocare about soaps at all. R.I.P Helen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted May 3, 2010 Members Share Posted May 3, 2010 I have a hunch that the plan has always been for Don Hastings to utter the final words, whether or not Helen would be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Limenade Posted May 3, 2010 Members Share Posted May 3, 2010 This is incredibly sad! I truly feel as though American soap opera as we know it has come to a fast end. Lately I've been watching quite a bit of late 80s ATWT on Youtube, which made me wonder how would Doug Marland handle Helen's passing if he were alive, or if the head writer now is someone of his caliber. I'm speaking from the perspective, of course, of all the loving episodes that he wrote when Don McLaughlin passed away in '86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 May she rest in peace! I am so sorry to hear that. I pray from peace and strength for the family. Daytime need to wise up, we are losing too many great legends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted May 4, 2010 Members Share Posted May 4, 2010 Did HW have any kids? I don't think I've read about her ever having any. I find it amazing that two of the most beloved soap matriarchs (HW and FR) were never mothers or grandmothers in real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
