Am I supposed to take Laura seriously as a doctor/therapist? She seems crazier than her patients! It always looks like she's so vulnerable and weak, that she's a second away from a breakdown.

They ruined that character with that 90s return.

Do you mean JLB Laura? I am trying to remember if she was ever used as a serious psychiatrist. I remember when they had her practice it was to do the poison paint story.

 

If anyone wants to see these someone gave them to me a few months ago:

Since I've never seen Flannery in the role, I can't really agree or disagree. I like her well enough, though, without the context of her previous incarnation. I just can't take her very seriously as a doctor.

Yes, JLB. She's been counselling Marlena during the possession story a little and continuing to act as a doctor. Only you get the sense she's about to break down in tears at any moment.

 

Thanks for the episodes.

 I wish I could see Flannery’s work. I saw some of the others via old tapes my Grandmother had.  

 

The last time the Horton siblings were together.15th Anniverary,Nov 79.

Just read that back in October 1958 Bill Hayes worked on a CBS TV production of Little Women with Florence Henderson. They had previouly worked together on US Steel Hour, Oldsmobile commercials and a nightclub act.

We could say the same thing about Marlena. 😉

Susan Flannery Laura and Jaime Lyn Bauer Laura were like two completely different characters. Rosemary Forsyth Laura, who was the Laura viewers watched lose her mental stability, was much more like Flannery -- even as her grip on reality slipped, her persona was still largely cool and composed. Nothing at all the breathy, dithery Bauer Laura.

 

I don't think I've taken Marlena seriously as a therapist since 1983.

From 1981.

 

Didn't she come back to DAYS decades later to play opposite her on-screen son?

Yes when Nick was reintroduce. It was sadly a very brief return. Marie also reappeared as well.

I loved Nick.  I was bummed they killed him off.  I was just reading up about Nick’s mom and I guess I never put two and two together that Jake snapped after “Angel” left him and started killing people, and that “Angel” was one of Jessica’s alters.

Marie didn’t reappear for any of Nick’s stories. 

No, I'm pretty sure there were scenes with Marie and Nick. Alice's funeral, maybe?

No, Nick and Marie never interacted. Nick wasn’t on the show for Alice’s funeral.
