Members Soapsuds Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 You're welcome! I left a question to ask about the wedding remote back in 1991. Others had asked questions about Peter Boynton and Jason Biggs and working with the two Calebs and her work on the other soaps...which she preferred too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Forever8 Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 From her appearance on the Loving reunion. Jennifer Ashe has no problem giving the tea. Unless you who know tries to cut her off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 Susan is spilling lots of tea on backstage stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 I've got to check out the playback later. I hope he can get Jennifer Ashe. You all must be tired if me bringing up that I have wanted someone to talk with her and Peter Boynton. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gimmetoo Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 Great interview. Susan Marie Snyder was VERY honest about MDM's death. She admitted both MDM and Michael Louden were challenging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 I felt like that ended a bit early, although there probably wasn't much left to say. I was mostly glad to finally find out one of the reasons Julie appeared so infrequently in '91 (I didn't know Susan had been written out and was also pregnant in real life). Susan also said that the reason why she and many others were let go was so that P&G would not have to keep paying royalties to Doug Marland's estate for their characters. I wasn't sure if they would get into Michael David Morrison's death, but they did, and she talked about how she'd spoken with him the day before he died. She felt he had a double life and essentially committed suicide. Until now Alan didn't know Louden had died, I don't think (I guess it didn't get a ton of attention as he'd been out of soaps for a decade by that point). I was wondering if she'd have any more to say about him but they seemed to move on quickly... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 Could royalties be the reason behind why Eileen Fulton and so many other senior veterans got so little storylines in the show's final years? Or was it just garden variety ageism? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 I don't think she got along with Michael Lounden and that's why she moved on. Her besties were Jennifer Ashe and Renee Props. Interesting how she said they had Graham Winton waiting in the wings very early in case Michael DOD or was sent back to rehab My guess both. Glad she spilled it with John Valente without mentioning his name. He's the one that started firing actors. Interesting that she called Liz and Lisa divas. Was that a compliment? When referring to Aaron's parentage. I hope Alan can get Peter too. I have a feeling he's on his radar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 Yes - Graham had played Caleb before (in 1990 I think) so I guess he was on standby. I don't think he was a good recast, but I do appreciate how the producers of that era tried to take more care about finding an actor and using them when the times came - I think they also stuck to one temp actor for Hal and for Lyla in those years. I remember when Jennifer would return as Meg, she was usually not that friendly to Julie - it's a credit to the ladies they were able to make it believable. (did she say she met Jennifer auditioning for Facts of Life, or was that Renee?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted July 15, 2021 Share Posted July 15, 2021 (edited) @Soapsuds Alan mentioned you. And used your question. Please register in order to view this content Suzenne was great. She's very funny and insightful. Edited July 15, 2021 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarlandFan Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 While I appreciate Alan coordinating all of these soap actor reunions, he can be a very frustrating interviewer. He interrupts a great deal - and at inopportune times. Suzenne was going to expand on several topics but at her slightest pause, he jumps in and cuts her off. I'm sure we could have learned a lot more about Louden and Morrison and the post-Marland era if he would just let her speak. She was game to talk about everything. And it sounds like she had a friendship with Marland -- we could have learned about that as well. Again - I'm glad these interviews are taking place - but there are so many missed opportunities. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 I think Eileen Fulton was used sparingly not because of royalties..but speaking out about Sheffer and co. Up till 2000, she was used quite well. And interesting Marland had characters he created came with royalties. It does explain why Emma Snyder wasn't fired, but taken off contract in the mid 90s. Babette (ellie) props was the one she met during a Facts of Life audition. I noted when Alan mentioned trying to reach her to do a reunion but couldn't reach her...that Suzanne said 'she's keeping a low profile these days'...it sounded like she knew where she was but wouldn't tell him. And she was vocal about ageism, behind the scenes, etc. It was a good interview..and I think Alan should stick to 1 on 1 interviews. Also, it seemed like Alan was out of his depth with Suzanne...she seemed deep and thoughtful..and he seemed confused. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted July 15, 2021 Members Share Posted July 15, 2021 I like that Marland took care of the vets. Even though they left for one reason or another he never forgot them and called them to return. Yup..and he guessed right that I was a male. Love that Susan adored my name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
