Members Lust4Life76 Posted January 5, 2022 Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 QUESTION - does anyone know why Opal was recast back in 1989? I feel like "Mama's Family" had wrapped up by then, Dorothy Lyman would have been available... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 5, 2022 Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 Maybe she didnt wanna do the role 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 5, 2022 Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 Dorothy was still on Mama's Family at the time. I don't think she would have gone back anyway, as I'm not sure she left on the best terms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted January 5, 2022 Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 I think this was discussed recently on another thread about 80s news and gossip when Ms Lyman did an interview about taking the role on Generations and there were a few conclusions, (1) she was run ragged from the commute btw NY and LA at the start of series, and AMC had not been accommodating about her schedule, which may have soured the relationship,(2) she had developed an active directing career while working on Mama's Family and got many opportunities behind the scenes elsewhere, and (3) NBC was desperate at the time she was cast on Generations and they offered the kind of money that was not previously discussed on AMC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 5, 2022 Members Share Posted January 5, 2022 IIRC, ABC didn't even contact Dorothy Lyman about reprising the role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lust4Life76 Posted January 6, 2022 Members Share Posted January 6, 2022 Thank you, J, for answering in more detail. I tried to search and find the discussion but couldn't. I been watching "Mama's Family" all last month into this month (now since Betty White passed), and this just sort of crossed my mind. I hadn't started watching "All My Children" regularly until I learned Jill Larson, who was so wickedly fun in her work as Ursula Blackwell on "One Life to Live", was to be cast as Opal. Shortly after I started watching Larson's debut in November, "AMC" was embracing it's 20-year mark, and they showed a brief glimpse of Lyman's work - I always adored her as Naomi Harper, but the more and more I saw of Lyman as Opal, I fell in love with what she did. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2022 Members Share Posted January 6, 2022 Some unsold pilots burned off by NBC in summer 1984 are being uploaded by one of my favorite Youtube channels, and both have some AMC alum. The first has (for about one or two scenes), Barbara Rush (Nola Orsini), and the second has Rosalind Ingeldew, AKA Rosalind Allen (Silver Kane #1). She's not much of an actress but she is striking, I will give her that. @SFKI always enjoy your comments on the Silver/Noelle era, so you may like to see this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Forever8 Posted January 7, 2022 Members Share Posted January 7, 2022 Alan Locher interviewed Deborah Goodrich Royce (ex-Silver Kane) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 8, 2022 Members Share Posted January 8, 2022 I liked Deborah Goodrich as (Sterling) Silver, but I think Kelli Maroney (ex-Kimberley, RH) would have been so much better in that role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
