Members DRW50 Posted January 17, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 Julianna and Robert Colbert were gone within a year or two. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted January 17, 2013 Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 I guess Robert was out of the picture that year really, he may have popped up again later but had no story. Julianna stuck around a couple of years more, but was a prop for Jill basically. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 17, 2013 Members Share Posted January 17, 2013 One thing about the early days of Y&R, did Katherine ever interact with Jennifer Brooks ? I have seen group cast photos of them together, but never the two by themselves or any storyline synopsis of Kay & Jenn. I was always curious if Dorothy Green and Jeanne Cooper had a good off screen relationship since they were both old school actresses that did a ton of movie and tv work before Y&R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Also IMO Dorothy Green sort of looks like Jeanne too whenever I see photos of her, That's a very good question.... I don't think Katherine really had anything to do with the original Brooks girls anyways either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Not sure. There certainly isn't any reason for them to have shared a scene, as the stories had no connection at all to each other. Kay seemed isolated to Jill and her family and the men they fought over until about 1980 and Jennifer Brooks died in 1977. Jennifer's story was mostly about Bruce Henderson and their affair and Lori's paternity, then her illnesses. If they did share a scene it may have been incidental, possibly at the country club or something during the Jill/Phillip/Kay storyline. Or if Jennifer had any scenes with Liz and Kay happened to be there too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 I assume that Kay and Jenn knew each other since they were from GC society. I remember reading a synopsis from 1976 that talked about Bill and Liz remarrying and that Stu and Jenn gave them a gift of a honeymoon trip to Hawaii. Kay was mentioned as being upset because she had fallen for Bill Foster herself. It would be interesting to find some stuff of them interacting. I do remember one cast photo on the stairs and Jeanne is standing next to Dorothy Green. I read Jeanne Cooper's new book and she talked about her first day on the Y&R set. She said the cast came out to greet her and welcome her to the show. She said she was touched by how nice everyone was and was afraid she wouldn't be able to remember all their names. She said she then heard a familiar voice and looked up and across the room William Gray Espy (Snapper # 1) greeted her with a big hug. She said they had met and become friends on a movie they did the year before with Raquel Welch. She had gotten him a massage because since he wasn't the main star of the film, the higher ups ignored him.He was doing some physical stuff playing a hockey player. She said William turned to everyone and said "this woman can get things done that you wouldn't believe". She then said one cast member that instantly caught her attention was a little spitfire named Brenda Dickson. She later talked about how Brenda and her first didn't get along and then later became friends. Brenda was showing up late and acting like a Diva. Her stories were hilarious. She said she asked Brenda in one rehearsal to pick up a coat and Brenda took an attitude and acted as if she had asked her to wash and kiss her ass......LOL Jeanne also mentioned that when she showed up on the first day, she met John Considine (Phillip # 1) and they started running lines, when John Conboy(I think it was) walked up and said there is no need to do that, he will no longer be playing Phillip. She said she felt so horrible for him that they had fired him on the spot like that. She also discussed being close friends with Julianna McCarthy (Liz). As far as the other 70's cast members, she talked about how sweet they all were and how Y&R became a safe haven for her when her marriage was falling apart. Later in the book she talks about being close with a number of cast member particularly Terry Lester. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Interesting, all this juicy stuff makes me really want to read Jeanne's book! Does she also talk about the first day she met Braeden. MTS, Jess, Bergman etc..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 John Considine as Phillip - one of those early Y&R mysteries.How long was he on? So Phillip was seen before Katherine? How did that play? I remember in French Fan's synopses that Lorie Brooks and Phillip had a connection that I had forgotten about or never saw.But I don't think Jen would have been involved. It may have been one of those Bill Bell things where he would trial something,see how it played onscreen and take it from there. Like the Maestro and Liz Foster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yes she does. There is a chapter called co-stars toward the end and she gives her thougths on them. They are mainly the ones in the current cast like Braeden, MTS, Jess, Doug Davidson etc.........She talks about when they came on the show and her relationship with them. It's a great book. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 The funny thing about her saying he was fired her first day is I know for a fact I saw a scene with her and Considine in the Chancellor living room. She had long hair at the time. Maybe since it had been so long she forgot. It didn't look like a screen test, but an actual scene from an episode. They were talking and I seem to recall she had a glass in her hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 18, 2013 Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 Kay always had a glass in her hand in those days! You could be right and Jeanne may have forgotten the sequence of events. From everything written,it seems that Jill came across Katherine at the beauty shop and befriended her. Then Phillip was introduced. Maybe what happened is that Considine only lasted a few days and Jeanne recalled that event ,having hardly acted with him at all and then told he was gone. I wonder why TPTB rejected Considine. Maybe he was non contract and decided to leave himself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 18, 2013 On AW, a few years after Y&R, he was a big joker, which helped lead to his firing - if he was like that on Y&R it might have annoyed Conboy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
