If you want to see more different acting from Deidre Hall, in the Primetime forum, there is a clip I found on YouTube of Dee appearing on the '80s show, Wiseguy. She is lucky enough to be acting opposite the great Tim Curry!

Glenn Frey and Deborah Harry also appear in the episode (and not as themselves!).

Thanks!  I have actually seen her whole arc on Wiseguy.  It played on some random cable station years ago.  I loved it!  I think her getting that job derailed her return to Days in 88 or 89, but I thought Wiseguy was a really cool show overall.

Marlena/Maggie were definitely still close in the early 2000's.  I remember John suddenly disliking her for no reason because he found her gossipy.  But it has been years...Even in the 90's they were quite close when Maggie got pulled out of the closet for random scenes. 

I think DH/SR don't get along in real life or had a falling out a while ago.  At least if you believe the rumors.  It does seem that way.  Suzanne was in the legendary "Never Say Never: The Deidre Hall Story" so they must have been close at one time.  It's a shame because neither character really has any friends on the show and it would be nice if they chatted once and a while.

Oh, good ole datalounge back in the day had the craziest rumors!  I used to get a kick out them until they banned soaps or something because it was out of control.  I wish they had an archive I could go back and read them and laugh again.  I never heard anything like that about Suzanne.  In fact I don't think I have ever heard anything bad about Suzanne at all except she might not get along with Deidre.  

That being said, I miss characters having friends period.  We rarely see friendships on current days besides Sonny/Will/Chad.

Haven't been back there in years but I will always be proud of the From the Elegantly Understated Tortoise-Shell Desk of Victoria Lord thread I created in DL's soap heyday, which is where this screen name came from. It was my sign off on all posts.

She was indeed so good back then. I don't think she's given more than a handful of good performances in the last 20 years, but I still love her based on what she did back then.

Also nice to see a reminder of the Maggie-Marlena friendship, which disappeared from the screen eons ago.

This might be the greatest piece of information you have ever told me!  I love it!

I remember there used to be some hilarious posters with great gossip, but then it got inundated with a bunch of weird stans that were convinced that Steve Burton was the father of Becky Herbst baby and having a torrid affair. Which, given the recent news about the Burton's marriage they were looking at the wrong partner I think.

But for a minute it had the best rumors and behind the scenes tales.  Again, I wish it had an archive so I could laugh at all the posters and their funny jokes.

It's weird because Deidre Hall still has the same mannerisms and pauses that she has now she just changed her style to be OTT instead of subdued like it was in that scene.  The last time I remember being truly impressed by Deidre is when John died and Marlena was (briefly) all women scorned ready to get revenge on Stefano.  She's done some good work with Eileen in Kristen's return as well.  I honestly think you'd be hard pressed to find anything that great since she returned in 1991 though.

Too bad that Maggie and Marlena don't seem to have that friendship anymore. Maggie was even there and was one of the first people to comfort Marlena when DJ died. 

Anybody know when the Maggie/Marlena friendship just disappeared?

I still remember them being friendly in the mid 2000's through the SSK stuff.  I think the friendship completely disappeared once the DH's returned in 2011.  I can't even think of anything recently where they shared dialogue.  Maybe something about Brady or Will/Sonny?  They do really operate in different orbits these days though.  I thought Marlena might be brought into the Sarah/Renee story, but she wasn't lol.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      I've watched more episodes, but I wanted to make one short comment before I made my longer post. Someone on the show loves dressing men in ways where they have plunging necklines and show lots of chest hair. Not complaining but I think Chief Marceau (sp?) and Logan are the only two who have not shown their chest hair at this point. I have now watched episodes 6077 to 6090. I'm up to September 11, 1979. Nancy and Mike have returned from their vacation. Ann Flood is another wonderful presence. She's only had a few scenes, but I already like her. They're worrying about Draper and his lost job offer in New York. The truth is slowly coming out. I can't say that I'm invested all that much. I still don't care all that much about Draper, but he's no longer bellowing and whining so it's all good. He has had some nice scenes with April and there was an uncomfortable confrontation with Margo. Draper and Logan's scenes are where I like him the best. The two actors play well off each other. Also, Draper and Raven have an interesting thing in scenes. I wonder if they hook up at some point. They always give each other weird looks during scenes. Is this foreshadowing? Hmmm. The Raven of it all. MY word Sharon Gabet is amazing. How did she not win the Emmy? Was this going on during the Judith Light time? Gabet owns every scene. Raven and Eliot's scenes crack me up. Gabet and Lois Kibee are giving masterclass acting scenes in their moments together. I never wanted their confrontations to end. Kibbee's Geraldine has discovered Raven doing something she should not be doing and that confrontation was pitch perfect. The later scene with Logan was shocking. He does something that I've rarely seen on soaps. Such good storytelling and acting. I also liked how April and Draper were drawn into the madness.  Paige/Tobias/kidnapping/Steve: This is the one storyline that suffers because I came into the show late. I'm not connecting to it as much although I enjoy it. Steve and his low cut shirt amuse me. Calvin is such a cute and bright presence. I thought they were writing him off, but he's back  so apparently not. Marceau seems to be leaving but I hope not. The actor is wonderful. Deborah has come back in the episode I just started so Frances Fisher is here. I will say the actor playing Tobias is excellent. I think he was on another ABC show I watched but I'm not googling.  Nora/Owen/Eddie/Brian/Paige: After a week of non-stop Nora, the movie storyline has not started full force yet. It's more about Nora's drinking and Brian and Paige's feelings for each other. Nora is becoming more manipulative as she lies to all of them so they will make the movie. Owen revealed Brian's secret which I accidentally guess from the first episode, but I actually don't think it's true. Eliot/Margo: Margo had a fantastic scene with April where April confronted her about the real relationship she has with Eliot. Mario admitted the truth. It's so refreshing when characters are intelligent and honest. It makes their mistakes even more heartbreaking. They're not idiots. Eliot is such a fabulous character. He's an absolute slime and yet he's one of the most compelling characters on the show. So nice to be hooked into a soap opera again.

      Joss can go, permanently; killed off, body bag and all, and never ever return.

      I was under the impression that it is always wrong to post private email unless there is some threat of bodily harm. But I think your doing so brings up an interesting point since it shows that I had known about the illness/disease since the prior April if I am wrong & you are right & my point was to break the news why didn't I post it ages ago? My reply is that my point was never about scoop or breaking news.  Somewhere in this onslaught you've said I posted about some actors having an affair. I have zero idea what or who you're talking about.  You mention a cast member's medical condition which about a dozen people discussed & someone NOT ME began the discussion at least a month before I joined it.  Is everyone who took part in that conversation based on having concern for the actress in trouble or just me? There are definitely things that are not true ... and they are not lies told by me. Probably they are things being misremembered.

      Lol.  I still believe there is a place for Joss on the canvas.  This just isn't it and I am not sure Eden McCoy is the right choice for the role.

      I haven't read it since high school--but it has stuck with me and is a pretty important book (as a kid I did always assumed it was related to the Wells work too

      This would be a weird comment to make about the face of the show if it wasn't damn accurate. In the 90s she was mostly confined to her own orbit with her daughters and Cass, aside from a few stories. Her relationship with Rachel was pretty weird too. A case of tell not show. They seemed to be there for each other at big moments (weddings, funerals, etc.) and proclaim how close they were, but rarely interacted outside of those. I only remember one storyline they had together - the Lucas lookalike - but that was more about their significant others' animosity if I'm remembering correctly. In hindsight, it was pretty strange how little Rachel, Felicia & Donna - all around the same age give or take - had to do with each other for the last decade. The actresses were all top-10 in longevity for the entire show and made it to the finish line, but never meaningfully mixed it up at the end. Even Donna dating Rachel's son didn't lead to many interactions between those 2. I can understand JFP's reasoning for getting rid of Donna, even if I didn't agree with it (she was my favorite of the 3).

      It's called being pro-active.. something that soap operas have failed to do in the last twenty to twenty five years. The Duprees are not a compelling family.. .a lot of telling and not showing.  I'm actually more invested in the non-Dupree characters then the Duprees right now.
