Mary Linda Rapleye website

Watching more of the mid-80s ATWT, I continue to be disappointed that Lyla's sister Maggie was written out and then never really mentioned again. There's something quirky, funny, yet also down-to-earth about her which helps enliven what could be tedious stories about baby adoption and mobsters and so on. I think she would have fit in very well in Marland's ATWT if he'd written for her.

I looked up the actress' name, and aside from learning she played Chekhov's ex-flame Irina in a Star Trek TOS episode, Mary Linda Rapleye also put up some clips of her time at OLTL (as Ivan Kipling's wife Faith) and at ATWT. I hadn't seen the clips anywhere else so I didn't want to just post this in one of the ATWT tribute threads, in case you hadn't seen them either. One is of Maggie pretending to be Cal Randolph's Southern-fried wife, complete with red wig, and beating a mobster in a high stakes poker game. Another is a fantasy sequence Cal has about Maggie, a fur coat, and Teddy Pendergrass music. As with a lot of 80s love scenes it's fairly risque, although that might just be down to the look on his face when the fantasy is over...

I just watched the OLTL clip. It is of Faith on a date with Larry, and they end up talking about the differences between him and Ivan and what each other means to them.

I find she has a very strong likability about her. She kind of resembles Robin Strasser/Brynn Thayer and especially Philece Sampler.

Thanks, I'd forgotten to give a description for the OLTL clip. I guess this must have been right before Ivan put the chip in her and in Larry. I don't think she'd be so glowing about him if she knew about that...

She does look like Philece Sampler, you're right. And a bit like Felicity La Fortune. There's also a believable family resemblance to Anne Sward and Margaret Colin/Hillary Bailey. That was good casting.

I know it's presumptuous starting a thread on this but I'm always happy to find any other scraps of old soap stuff and in case anyone else is the same I thought they might want to know. I don't know if those clips were anywhere else but I hadn't seen them on Youtube or anything.

Was Faith in the mind chip story? I should try to see more of that if it's online I guess. I mostly remember it for the hilarious image of Larry wearing a headband. At least he got to be the hero though. :)

    • Above, I said "Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her." Now adding onto that thought, I would clarify that sometimes I think Vanessa fools around for fun in a positive way.    But other times I sense that she's actually unconsciously trying to demean herself as way of numbing some inner pain -- it's hard to explain what I mean.  Sort of like... sometimes people drink for fun. But other times, people drink  in a self-destructive way, in order to drown out some inner pain. So I think she needs therapy about all of that.
    • A lot of these episodes are available on YT. The rape storyline starts around February or March of 1979 and Roger's demise is sometime in March 1980. The stuff from before 1979 is close to non exisitent, unfortunately.
    • Maeve Kinkead was on from 1980-1988 (left in January); 1989-2000 (went recurring 1996-97); 2002 -For Josh /Reva's Wedding; 2005 (appearances in May and December) back regularly from Feb 2006-end Maureen Garrett was on from 1976-80; 1988-2006 (recurring from 2003 on); 2009 Michael Zaslow was on/off from 1971-1980 with breaks in between but usually made an appearance every year then again 1989-1997. There is a youtube commercial  Guiding Light in 1968

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!
