Oh, please let me be the one to send the board into a tizzy....Lisa was played by Anne Sayre (the brilliant NY stage performer who portrayed Mitzi for years on ATWT. And she did a good Lisa impression - her odd cadences, delivery and missed words/flubbed lines included!) According to the credits, Gregg Marx was supposed to play Tom but there were technical issues so Trent read his part (and Casey's - again due to tech issues.) 

 

It was an absolute joy to watch those actors together again being silly and having fun "being together" again. Seeing the original Roseanna and Tom Wiggins as Craig was fun. Agim was the best choice for Holden since Jon wouldn't do it. Alex Chando as Lily was the only off choice for me but, as she played Trent's sister AND Zack Roerig was supposed to be there, I see why they went with it.)

 

'Twas an hour delightfully spent.

I thought you weren't posting here anymore, but thank you for answering my questions. I didn't expect Eileen to participate, to be honest, and I just hope she is living comfortably and at peace. Anne Sayre is a fine actress. As for Tom, I'm sure Trent was fine. It's not as if he had anything to do at the end anyway.

Margaret Reed played Susan. I was hoping Marie Masters would've been there. I was hoping for Scott Bryce to be there but Wiggins filled in and the fans were thrilled to see him. 

 

Alan said the response to the reunion was received well that they were planning on future ATWT reunions for charity.

Me too on both counts. Liz, Don, Kathryn and Larry were all there. There was an opening, mid bumper with Dan Region and closing credits with a new

and the first theme music playing in the background...lol.

It's so lovely of them to do this for fans when we need the comfort of soaps more than ever, especially considering Larry's bad blood with the show. P&G and so many others in soapland did not care about what soaps meant to people. 

 

I hope Irna was somewhere watching, at least (likely with a long list of complaints...). This is what she created ATWT for.

It was awesome. 

 

I actually enjoyed the interaction after the script more than the reading itself. It was interesting to see some of the actors meeting for the first time, finding out who had met whom before, despite the different eras. 

 

No doubt a lot of work and schedule rearranging went into making this happen. Kudos to everyone involved.

Melanie Smith had forgotten she had met Michael Park at a MB gathering....lol

 

Yvonne Perry giving glowing reviews of Maura acting and mentioning it wasn't this Mike...refering to Mark Collier(who looked so hot) to which Alan said let me move you together to do introduce yourself or something like that...lol. 

 

The stories of Benjamin...Colleen admitting they weren't that close but more to do with his demons.....

 

Douglas Marland love along with director Paul Lammers.

 

Wiggins saying his favorite storyline was Bob stalker. What a brilliant writer Doug was.

 

How Renee Props was such a good actress and underappreciated.

 

His blowup with a backstage crew member who the actors didn't like.

The more I read about how P&G operated, their machinations, the more I begin to understand why Phillips may have been the way she was. She, not had quite a few character flaws but knowing how the industry treats women today, could you imagine how bad it must have been back then? There must have been many bitter pills to swallow.

    • Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".   
    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...   
    • oooh....the '76 plot thickens... thanks @Paul Raven

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride.
