That DTR was the first time I (and many others) saw the late Nancy Pinkerton's Dorian. Such a treat that she's captured on tape, but at the same time I wonder what that scene would look like with Robin Strasser (Rachel and Alice!) in the role.

It's been a bad year for soap legends - Nancy, Jacquie, and Dixie, among others. It makes you appreciate what we still have. I know in the last few years I've started feeling that way more and more about Robin Strasser and Jeanne Cooper and Erika Slezak, among many others. I wonder how Robin must feel about this.

I think that Robin's Dorian did have a few scenes with Jacquie/Pat (they were on the show together from about 79-83) but not intensive. They would have if Robin had played Cathy but she didn't want to repeat history.

This is really sad. My mom was a die-hard AW fan in the 70s. I mean DIE-HARD! I think I have more memories of Susan Harney as Alice, just because I was older when she appeared, but my earliest soap memories are of watching Jackie and George on AW at my mom's side when I was about 7 or 8. Just some warm memories of that time with my mom. I loved Jackie on OLTL too and enjoyed her short comeback on AW in the mid-80s. Just a really sad day in the soap world, and it impresses upon me that this genre, at least in its current form, is not long for this world.

Oh yes of course, James Mitchell too, but Carl was responding to my post about so many women passing so young these days.

Carl, I'm sure you've seen the other Daytime to Remember episode where JC shares the screen with RS's Dorian. Jacqueline Courtney, Robin Strasser, Linda Dano, all of those Another World divas and Mr. Clint Ritchie. Wow.

BTW, I wonder if it was Jacqueline Courtney, Robin Strasser, or Erika Slezak (maybe even Susan Lucci?) who Joe Stuart told Linda Dano that she'd never be like when she quit OLTL, that she'd never play lead. Hmmm... I'm thinking Robin.

Yes I've seen that, SFK. I always shake my head at Linda's hair from that era. Such a talented cast then, so talented some of them only showed their true range elsewhere.

I have a few soap magazine articles with Jacqueline I'll try to put up, if that isn't too morbid.

LOL, no that wouldn't be too morbid, a loving tribute. ^_^ Hopefully her daughter will stumble upon this thread and catch some old articles of her mom that she's perhaps never seen.

I get so tickled watching Linda in that clip, she's just as handsy as ever. And I can't help but think she bought that tweed suit herself.

I think, although it might have been Mac's funeral, that another of her final appearances on soaps was as a madam on Loving. She had always wanted to play a bad girl and had never been given the opportunity. It's nice that she got that chance. And it's nice to think that she basically played out her entire soap career on Agnes Nixon shows.

      To be fair, I don't think she was written out as much as not being written for as they had to gear up for the final episode. I'd assume they might've had the option to use her again but they just didn't find the space.

      Seems Traci and Julie on Days are both shopping at 'Granny's Garments'. You just can't go wrong with a loose print long line jacket (hides those figure faults, gals), a comfy pair of slacks, a scoop neck T and some chunky accent jewelry. And don't forget your crowning glory-a wash 'n' go hair do.

      I loved the cliffhanger of Xander being arrested for Philip's attack.

      I've got to say GH is the soap I'm enjoying the most right now, followed closely by Days. I can't wait for Willow's world to come crashing down on her. She is one stupid hoe. To choose Drew over her children is despicable. I'm loving Rory Gibson as new Michael.

      That could apply to Dani too, and Leslie looking at herself in the mirror being crazy. The gambling scenes were pure fast-forward material.   The best part of the show was seeing Mona.   BTG is slowly becoming background noise when I watch it.

      It seems like it was tested with all the concern she showed him. Obviously Dani would create a lot more conflict because her sister is Vanessa's best friend, but on the other hand Vanessa could pull the socio-economic class card on Shanice which would make for good conflict.

      I could buy Belle being drawn to EJ, even being confused/horrified over it... but to actually date/sleep with him is a stretch. Still... this is the soap that had Satan possess a character, underground dungeons, a heart being removed from someone's chest and then slipped back in (Jennifer), and almost every is related by blood and/or marriage... so I can't expect the soap to not have Belle go for it with EJ.

      Belle doesn't have a "savior complex" she has a half assed martyr hoe complex. See her staying with sponge bob square head Faux Philip(KB)cause he was injured overseas in war & he was "the father of her baby" like it was the 1950s or something. Not out of some true love kinda ish. That's what she told Shawn as to why she couldn't be with him despite cheating with him behind Phil's back. I didn't care but a spade is a spade cause that logic went straight out the window once Shawn moved on with Mimi & stopped letting her string him along. The minute he found someone else & she couldn't string him along while playing house with Phil? It's the minute the facade of her's dropped. Belle just wants to have her cake and eat it too. A self righteous thot who looks down her nose at others Sami, Xander while she lays up with the monster who not only tortured her beloved daddy but her sister & rest of her family. Like her using her daddy "dying" back in 07 as the reason she was having an affair with JKJ Phil & slept with him in her martial bed she shared with her husband. I think it was either before John's funeral or after. Belle's loyalty is too a dick especially one that's not her husbands

      Nothing more nothing less you're trying to oversimplify something that doesn't need to be oversimplified. I'm mad big daddy John is going out with his 2 biological kids being dumber then a box of rocks bird brains, who don't even share one brain cell btw the 2 of them. John's legacy deserves better you hear me! 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 At least he still has Pumpkin Carrie & Paul 🕊

      They need to put this new Michael on frontburner every day for as long as they can.  They also need to bring in a new love interest (or many) for him.  Give this actor as much material as possible, please! I hope this Drew-Michael nephew-uncle rivalry goes on for the long haul.  I was worried they were leading up to a Drew murder mystery, but that would prematurely end some great long-term soapy storytelling.  The Quartermaines don't need any more dead family members, either.
