Members Paul Raven Posted October 31, 2010 Members Share Posted October 31, 2010 What was the deal with Susan Oliver as Laura? Flannery left big shoes to fill and obviously Oliver didn't work out. does anyone know more as to why her stint was short lived and unsuccessful? Once Bill/ Laura and Mickey/Maggie were married off there was never any strong story for them. One question I have covcerns Maggie's paralysis. At what age was she paralyzed? I ask this,cos I wondered if they could have brought in a child for her that perhaps was given away due to her condition. That would have opened up a can of worms,especially if Maggie was reunited with the child and the father... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 31, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 31, 2010 I have it somewhere, but I think one of those magazines mentioned that Susan left for some sort of film project. I'm not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gray Bunny Posted November 11, 2010 Members Share Posted November 11, 2010 John Clarke aged quickly. It's a shame though they didn't use him for the last 20 years he was on the show, other than the occasional courtroom trial (which he'd always lose). I miss Frances Reid 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted November 15, 2010 Members Share Posted November 15, 2010 That storyline was ill conceived from Day One.It was never followed up and to this day Dougie,now at least 35,has never been referenced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 15, 2010 What didn't work in the story? Who was writing the show at this time? I accidentally cropped a few lines at the bottom. Is it me or does Susan Oliver look like Diana van der Vlis. I wonder if DAYS ever considered hiring her as a Laura. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 I believe the last time Dougie's name was mentioned was around 1986/1987 when Doug returned to Salem without Julie. Dougie is mentioned in a scene between Doug & Hope. I saw the scene recently on youtube. It was several years before Doug learned that Dougie was his son, after Rebecca was killed (in a plane crash I believe). Hope & Dougie had been playmates when they were small, before they knew they were siblings. Rebecca & Johnny took Dougie away for awhile. I seem to recall that Hope missed her playmate & substituted her doll for a real baby in a carriage at a playground (and took the real baby home!). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 Thanks for filling us in about that. I'm glad they remembered him even at that late date, but I don't get why they didn't have him come back later on. How about bringing him back now and having him with a chip on his shoulder and he takes Hope further to the dark side? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted November 17, 2010 Members Share Posted November 17, 2010 There had been some speculation last year that Ciara's kidnapper was going to be Dougie back to retaliate against Hope but that apparently was just wishful thinking! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
