Members FrenchBug82 Posted January 15, 2022 Members Share Posted January 15, 2022 Thanks for answering, @John. I love gossip even when there is plenty of blank space to fill. And yes actors' egoes can be quite something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted February 4, 2022 Members Share Posted February 4, 2022 A discussion in another post got me thinking about the speculation from back in the day that Robert S. Woods wanted to be paired with younger actresses which is why Bo and Nora were separated for so long. Is there any truth to that? I doubt it personally and honestly younger co-stars made him look that much older. Especially when he was with Lindsay's sister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 4, 2022 Members Share Posted February 4, 2022 I suspect there was some truth to it, but I don't think it was the bigger story behind it. It didn't last, clearly; the only younger woman he was with was Lanie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 4, 2022 Members Share Posted February 4, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Never Let 'Em See You Sweat believed younger actresses were the key to longevity on his show. And while I appreciated that OLTL eventually reunited Bo and Nora, to me, it was never the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 4, 2022 Members Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Oh, for me, it was. They both sold the hell out of their reunion physically and emotionally in a major way and were 100% committed, and RSW later basically came out and said in the oral history book that it had been his mistake not to re-pair them earlier; 'we could have been printing money all those years.' There is an apocryphal legend that not long after pointedly hanging both of the actors out to dry at the Paley Center OLTL anniversary special in 2008 where a fan asked why Bo and Nora had not reunited and either Frank or Ron promptly threw it to RSW/HBS to answer, that FV supposedly went to them later, had a Come to Jesus meeting and said it was time to reunite Bo and Nora in order to help keep the show alive. I don't know if that story is true, but they did do it within a year. Frank has made many mistakes since then but it was the right thing to do, and it worked and sold a ton of story with them, Matthew and Clint before the end.

Members AMCOLTLLover Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 Did someone saw the 1969 crossover of Oltl/GH when Steve Hardy appeared on Oltl? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) I haven't seen that, but I have seen one of the very first AMC eps where one of the Eileen Riley Siegels from OLTL crosses over as a friend of... I think Ruth? It wasn't just the actress, to be clear, it was Eileen. Edited February 5, 2022 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Yes. Steve Hardy appeared as a consultant to Viki's sister Meredith's medical issues. Edited February 5, 2022 by vetsoapfan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 I think I saw that too, on YT several months ago. I want to say Alice Hirson as Eileen and she was friends with Kate Martin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCOLTLLover Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 Oh wow. I have heard so much about Meredith Lord. Shame that she wasn’t around that long like Vicky. Do you know how the fan reaction was? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted February 5, 2022 Members Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) The fan reaction to Steve Hardy's guest appearance? It's hard to say for sure because there was no social media back then. No Facebook, no Twitter, nothing. The people in my circle of friends loved the crossover, however, and I'm sure most fans of both shows got a kick out of i Edited February 5, 2022 by vetsoapfan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
