Members Cheap21 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 It says alot about these women bc they are by far the most memorable from the 80s. Id even put Sarah in there. There were so many young women introduced in the mid to late 80s that when I see the old opening I have a hard time figuring out who they were. Mary Lynn, the O'Neill sisters, etc... Gabrielle, Tina, Meagan, and Sarah came on the scene and stole it away. The young women of this generation pale in comparison to them. Natalie, Jessica, Gigi, Aubrey dont even come close. Its too bad they went so far with him in the end. He was a very good looking and charming villian. He could have lasted for years to come as he had an appeal which was very likeable despite his horrible actions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 That's true. I think they probably kept him around longer than they may have had in mind, as he was "redeemed" during Eterna. Still, it was a waste. They replaced him with Carlo - Carlo came into the show working with Michael. I don't see why both couldn't have stayed around. I agree about Sarah. She was a very good innocent type of heroine, which soaps are now ashamed of. She was a contrast to the more complex and scheming heroines/vixens. She was also great with Bo. And Megan/Sarah are one of the best sister relationships ever on soaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 I hated that Malone killed her off, even though I didnt care for the recast. He only did that bc he waanted to pair up his new creation, Nora, with Bo. I hate when agendas get in the way like that and unfortuantely Sarah paid the price. You are right in that she was a good heroine type. She was definetly my favorite of Bo's many pairings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 Rachel! She started off as a very respectable pre-law student and its a shame what they ended up doing with her, turning her into a cocaine sniffing murderess who turned tricks to support her drug habit. Thank god they brought her back in the form of Daphne Duplaix who was closest to the original portrayalof the character while using the history of the 2 recasts to reinforce the person she is today. Too bad they wasted her , but I guess at least she was able to maintain her integrity and dignity without written as stupid, weak, pathetic or skanky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) Love that pic of Kirk dipping Ellen with The Sherry-Netherland rising out of her neck. The building on the far right is the Helmsley Park Lane. Just think, Leona may have been peering down from her penthouse watching the little people have their little photo shoot.

Members DRW50 Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 There was something so special and beautiful about Ellen Bethea. A sense of peace and strength that you knew she had to have in order to get through life with such crazy and demanding parents. I hated Mari Morrow's Rachel. The writing for her was lazy and demeaning - oh well of course she has to be a mess who was ruined by her parents, and they have to wring their hands over her. Morrow was also a weak actress, at best. If you watch the mid-1995 gala ball clips that VickRobCal put up recently, she sticks out like a sore thumb compared to HBS, Purdee, Parros, and Bob Woods. What was done to Rachel basically epitomizes daytime's attitude towards black women. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted May 16, 2011 Members Share Posted May 16, 2011 (edited) I totally agree. I loathed Rachel's descent. As a character I thought she deserved much better. I feel the same way about Jessica and Marty but at least Marty brings the lols. I really took to Daphnee Duplaix because Rachel had been so poorly recast and I felt she was the closest to bringing the character back full circle.
