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.

      Marnie Schulenburg's widower. She was such a strong person. (I did not realize he played the Tucker Carlson knockoff on Succession)

      She has the Bo Buchanan curse.  Agreed, Carly's reaction would be quite interesting.

      I agree. Even the discussion about cuts at the end of scenes. I'm binging THE DEFENDERS right now, and it has those cuts. Is it odd? Oh God yes. Heck, I will say it's worse than what has been discussed here because it does not bother me here and this was back in 2017/2018.   That said...I am starting to look forward to BTG finding their proper rhythm.

      Louise, what memories & Brooks with her! Other favorite domestics: Lucinda's butler Matthew, Ginger on GL, Vivian of course on AW. A notable butler & a notable cook at the Qs. DAYS Ivan taking care of Vivian Allamain all of those years. Oh, on AW Carl had a driver who sometimes had other duties: Ito? I recall him being Asian. I always felt sorry for Louise & Brooks when Mac & Rachel would fall out. How difficult it must have been for them with all that tension & heaven forbid they be in the room for one of their fights, which were violent & mean-spirited & loud!

      I don't believe JFP wanted rid of Donna because she was isolated. She wasn't any more isolated than most characters on the show at that point. JFP just couldn't live out her fantasies with Anna Stuart the way she could with Linda Dano. She degraded the character instead, as happened to Donna under a number of regimes.  Donna, Rachel and Felicia were never characters who were all over the canvas. Felicia probably had the most reach of the three, as she ran restaurants for a decade, but they had their own spheres.  Rachel had a large role in Felicia's alcoholism storyline, as Felicia tanked her relationship with Cory Publishing and then her drinking caused her to start a fire at the TV studio, meaning Rachel had to fire her from her talk show. Rachel was at Felicia's failed intervention. Felicia and Donna had some back and forth during that strange period where Donna was dating Cass.

      This show has many, many old school influences in how it approaches recapping, elder characters or supporting players, certain character monologues, etc. Some of that is stuff that feels straight out of the Bell formula or B&B, and some of it feels even older to me. That's not entirely a compliment or a positive nor is it a whole negative. It's a very wonky mix at times of dialogue that tries very, very hard to be hip and current - with varying degrees of success or cringe - with old-fashioned soap storytelling exposition and character monologuing. It's actually fascinating to watch, good or bad.

      Emphasis on the work...VANISH.

          I've discussed this at length in the monthly threads on the main A stories as established by Week 1...which Martin's secret was one of them. Most soaps would have an A story one week with all the B/C plots just orbitting about. BTG did that well itself in the first two/three weeks. But like I mentioned before one of the A stories (Dani/Bill/Hayley) they can't keep going to that at the moment since it was already overkill by the end of Month 1. The other one...the Silk Press storyline...was really the only one that has been well-paced in my opinion with twists, turns, and builds...including subplots and near-misses. But that was not going to explode before May Sweeps. So that left Martin's secret...which as I said...started off well. I loved how it started with Martin having problems sleeping, but NO images. Then we got sounds. THEN we started to get images. And NOW those images are getting more established. But before we got all that, his storyline...which has been established to be a main one...vanished for a month and a half. While it worked for the storyline since Month 2 gave Martin (and Brandon Clayborn to grow) time to be more established...along with his family...the story of his secret could have also been a story that had a nice slow burn (which I love) to the show while having the other B/C plots orbitting it. Again, not mad at it since it allowed the audience to learn more about Martin and his family life. It also allowed for other B/C plots to grow on the audience. I also think the story development for that A story might have suffered from the writers still trying to find a rhythm that works for this show.   In any case, I also said that I felt they might go old school soap in May. And by old school I meant as an A story is climaxing, the writers take another story that will be the next one and start to build it up again, while also starting another plot as a C plot. And right now, we have the SilkPress storyline climaxing while Martin's nightmares (with images) have finally started to come back into play. I mentioned when I saw the promos of Martin vs Ted that hopefully the reveal would trigger Martin to the point that we FINALLY get to see what he did. So far...how Martin's been acting since the reveal, being so triggered, I still feel that is how we will see how things happened...allowing the next A story to finally take off.    Fingers crossed.

      You know what? After all the men she's been with dying, it's only appropriate that she try her hand with women. Only then will she discover how much of a curse she is when it comes to relationships. Of course, I don't think the show would go there, but if they do, I wonder how Carly would react to her daughter being with Robin's.
