Members dragonflies Posted December 1, 2010 Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 Doesn't sound like a guest spot: More Casting at DAYS TV/screen veteran Frances Fisher (ex-Deborah, EDGE OF NIGHT; ex-Suzette, GL) has been cast as Gladys, Sami's (Alison Sweeney) neighbor. She will first air in mid-February http://www.soapoperadigest.com/news/breaking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 1, 2010 Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 I hope she's annoyingly nosy and all up in Sami's business. I hope they plan her up like one of them older ladies who have no lives but to watch what goes on around the people they live with, all while gossiping and throwing their 2 cents where it doesnt belong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted December 1, 2010 LOL Glady Kravitz I wonder if it's a coincidence her name is Gladys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 That's funny that she would join a soap considering how badly she was in opposition of AFTRA during the last negotiation. I guess she really needs the money. But is DAYS really the best that she can do?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 It sounds like a guest spot to me, or a recurring guest thing like Adrienne Barbeau has on GH. So what did she say about the union? I really like Frances Fisher -- I don't understand why she didn't get the NCIS role that Lauren Holly got, especially since Lauren Holly seems to have turned into a less talented Frances Fisher. I'm glad that Frances is willing to come back to soaps. From what I saw of her on EON she was great. She was also asked to replace Ann Gilespie as Siobhan on Ryan's Hope, but said no. I didn't care that much for her GL role though. For whatever reason I remember her most from that Lucy/Desi TV movie she did with Maurice Benard.

Members Ann_SS Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 You know that this comment that a named actor is taking soap work for the money will set off hysteria from the usual suspects. LOL! Given the shaky state of Hollywood's current economy, unfortunate the answer is "yes." It is a hard knock life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Now that we're getting into all that again about how soaps are the lowest form and actors are right to criticize it - has Frances ever said anything about her soap years?

Members Sylph Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 OMG! It's Ann and her She needs the money! mantra! Which, to be perfectly clear, might be true, but is very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 WHAT??? Man, I'd love to know why she said no. (Do you know the reason(s), Carl?) She would have been awesome as Siobhan. This news is fantastic, if a bit out of proverbial left field. I've always believed Frances Fisher was a talented actress. Her intelligence shines through whatever character she's portraying at the moment. Let's hope DAYS does not eff-up this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 I'm not sure -- I think she had not been off of EON that long so she might not have wanted another regular role on a soap (wasn't Suzette Saxton always just short term?). Of course I'm not even totally sure it's true, but someone here said it, I think, and I can see it being right, as Marg Helgenberger is similar to Frances and Frances had just played a tough but vulnerable cop on EON.

Members All My Shadows Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Okay, good, so we're not going to act like she's this international, phenomenal household name, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 And they are off! Can't handle the truth. Predictable. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 2, 2010 Members Share Posted December 2, 2010 Well, you know, after "Maude's daughter" and Julia Roberts' brother, all others are just wannabes. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
