Members slick jones Posted December 16, 2016 Members Share Posted December 16, 2016 Exactly. Knowing those other characters mattered enough to warrant romances, or just scenes with friends...that is what made ATWT special! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted December 17, 2016 Members Share Posted December 17, 2016 Lily is a dirty tart! Please register in order to view this content But I don't blame her! I'd give my virginity to Brian Bloom's Dusty too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 17, 2016 Members Share Posted December 17, 2016 Funny you just happened to mention that...I was watching a July 1994 episode today and Monica appeared to win a seat on the Walsh Enterprises board to help with Conor and I was like what she still doing in town? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted December 17, 2016 Members Share Posted December 17, 2016 Around 94 they got rid of most of the "peripheral" characters. I thought she left sooner. Not bad, a short term part turned into seven years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 17, 2016 Members Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah, Dusty with those piercing baby blues and that raven hair. Not only was he too handsome but I liked how straight-up a guy Dusty was in those days and how he didn't hesitate to call out Lily when she was throwing tantrums. He was the type of soap character that doesn't really exist today, without guile yet interesting. It's too bad that in less about a year, Dusty's character would be so under-utilized. I can sort of see why Brian Bloom left. It seems like Roy was the only detective who was initially unwilling to immediately assume that James Stenbeck was even dead. Seems like everyone else jumped to the conclusion that James was killed in the fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 18, 2016 Members Share Posted December 18, 2016 And stopped referencing history too the episode had a scene with Susan and Ellen talking about Susan and Larry possibly moving to a house in Ruxton Hills and Ellen saying doesn't Emily have bad memories of Ruxton Hills? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 18, 2016 Members Share Posted December 18, 2016 In less than 10 years time! So odd. You would think that any new writer that was starting, that storyline would be in the Top 5 (considering that the show 'wiped' away episodes prior to '79) must see to get a sense of the show and it's characters not to mention that in '94, you still had many of the same characters (Barbara, Emily, Susan, many of the Hughes, Walsh, Dixons) still on the canvas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 18, 2016 Members Share Posted December 18, 2016 VHSGoodiesWA, who provides a lot of good soap stuff very generously (let's not talk about some uploaders) has put up a December 1988 episode I hadn't seen around before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 Zsa Zsa Gabor,who guested on ATWT as Lydia Marlowe,has passed away aged 99. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/18/movies/zsa-zsa-gabor-often-married-actress-known-for-glamour-dies.html 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 If anything ever shows why I could never identify with Lily, spending her time in bed with Dusty worrying about Barbara's business fortunes does, very easily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 The character sounds familiar but I was probably too young to have watched it. What year was this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 1982 I think. She was the older sister or mother of Miranda Marlowe, the absurd drug dealer-turned-housewife that Bob married. I have an SOD article on it somewhere - I think I posted it in the thread years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted December 19, 2016 Members Share Posted December 19, 2016 UGH.....Miranda Marlowe. That marriage to Bob made no sense what so ever. I was only 5 or 6 at the time and thought it was stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted December 20, 2016 Members Share Posted December 20, 2016 Wasn't hiring Zsa Zsa ATWT's response to Elizabeth Taylor showing up on GH(or was it AMC?)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 21, 2016 Members Share Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I have no idea but that would make sense. I imagine that GH got a lot of publicity with Taylor and everyone was probably trying to get their own grande dame ruthless type. ATWT was never at their best when they followed trends. They were always at their best when they brought on people who were on the verge of stardom (Whitney Houston) and low-key stars (Jermaine Jackson) or unassuming celebrities who can melt into a role. Nothing about Zsa Zsa says blend or melt into anything. Please register in order to view this content Still, just to satisfy my curiosity, I'd love to see those episodes. If only some person could post online one day. Edited December 21, 2016 by DramatistDreamer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
