Members titan1978 Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 I was going to post something similar! I love every second I have seen of Nancy Pinkerton’s Dorian. Strasser has said she was a fan of Pinkerton’s work on OLTL, and I also see where she brought some of that cunning and added her own flair for dramatics and as you said, that sense of humor. Strasser’s Dorian got to revel in the money and status that Pinkerton’s killed to get her hands on. It is fascinating how one major story turn can provide decades of story on these soaps. Much like the Katherine/Phillip/Jill affair on Y&R, Dorian/Victor/Victoria really was an engine that provided. And like Y&R, the shows were always better when they mined those relationships between Dorian and Viki/Jill and Katherine. Dorian sure was all up in every bit of Victor’s illegitimate children stories. Tony in the 70’s, Tina in the 80’s. And somewhat tied to Todd in the 90’s through Blair. Thanks for finding these and posting them @Vee! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 It literally just popped up out of nowhere in my phone notifications lol. I'd never seen the channel before. I was amazed I was the first to get on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 (edited) I don’t think I ever saw self loathing played better on any show than Judith Light did as Karen. Even when she was nearly out the door her Karen is always haunted. Also- Larry Wolek was a stone cold fox, and very watchable as a genial, nice person. He never comes across as boring to me in everything I have seen. Edited January 29 by titan1978 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 I would argue Michael Storm's brother James (from Dark Shadows, as well as the first Larry) was very slightly hotter, but not by much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 This picture came across a msgr app feed today & maybe y'all will get a kick out of it. I know I did! For the AW virgins among you, she is pictured with Doug Watson who played Mac Cory on that show. They were excited to be Best Actor & Actress that year, which was 1980, I think. I'm sure someone will tell me if it's 1981 instead or something. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 29 Members Share Posted January 29 This old soap tumblr account has an interview with Vance from maybe the best soap magazine (Daily TV Serials). https://www.tumblr.com/vintagesoaparchives/173904963968/daily-tv-serials-october-1975-vance-jefferis I had forgotten Vance passed in 2023. In motion he reminds me of a somewhat more flaming Howard Hesseman. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
