Members DaytimeFan Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Joan was FABULOUS on GL. She would have been better served playing another character, but she was the kind of kick ass injection of talent, humor, glamor and drama that GL desperately needed. I'd love to see her back on daytime or in prime time guest shots or a regular series. SOMETHING. Europe seems to be the place where she's most appreciated at the moment. Hopefully she'll have a renaissance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Has anyone mentioned Elizabeth Franz's turn on ANOTHER WORLD as Alma Rudder? GL: Michael Lombard as Kyle Sampson's bio dad, Cardinal Malone. The scenes between him and Larkin Malloy (Kyle) on the rooftop were fantastic.

Members SFK Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 That's funny, someone linked something from GL on here about a week ago and I happened upon Michael Lombard and Larkin in a related clip. His is a face I always recognized but never knew the name of until a few months ago when Dixie Carter passed and I watched some episodes of Filthy Rich. He played Dixie's character's (Carlotta) bisexual husband Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Oh how my twin sister and I LOVED that show. Though it was often paired it seems, on weekends, with Small Wonder which even at 6 or 7 I just couldn't stand--it felt oddly smarmy or something. Did her dad even ever return? I grew to hate those kinds of shows as a kid--where they almost always approach their goal, but not quite cuz the show has to return to square one by the next episode (think a classic example like Gilligan's Island). Maybe that's why I became attracted to soaps at such a young age, despite what critics say about slow plots and repitition, things actually happened, and changed.

Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 I felt the same way, Eric. It was one of the reasons I very quickly got bizarrely angry with stuff like Lost in Space and the Batman TV show. I knew that it was supposed to be silly and not to be considered, but the amount of times on Batman that Batman would be captured and no one would bother to learn his secret identity (or if they did learn it they would somehow forget), just drove me insane. It was the same thing week in and week out. For all that people have said soaps are repetitive, for many years they did move story and character forward. Oh, and with the main topic, I liked Beverly Archer's short run on Y&R as the maid Jill brought in to replace Esther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Glad it didn't frustrate just me--a NUMBER of cartoons I watched growing up worked on that premise too and I think as a small kid it annoyed me even more than it would now. One was Dungeons and Dragons, where they're always trying to get back home away from the fantasy land and never, ever, ever do. At least now most sitcoms, etc, do have SOME forward momentum.

Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 She was chilling wasn't she? Did you see the clips I posted in the AW thread from when she played some Russian scientist's wife, I guess a year or two before she became Alma?

Members SFK Posted July 23, 2010 Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 I've never seen clips, but just the idea of Athol Fugard on OLTL remains a big "WOW!" to me. Even moreso than Uta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 23, 2010 Too bad the clips of Walter Slezak on OLTL aren't available, especially when he added the line, without Erika knowing, that Viki was like a daughter to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
