Wow! Strasser called her out by name! If JFP is clearly an issue, why does she keep getting hired🤔

Phelps and Strasser clearly did not get along. But I very much remember that Strasser lied to the press about Phelps and publicly apologized to Phelps on her infamous hotline. Strasser claimed that Phelps made her come in on her vacation to shoot scenes, which was apparently a lie and Strasser then owned up to the lie and apologized on her hotline. I believe that there are 2 sides to the Strasser/Phelps story.

I'll always fondly remember Mr. Rasulala as Rog and Dee's slippery daddy on What's Happening!! and James' shady childhood friend on Good Times.

 

I hope poor Florida got her salt and pepper shakers back when he turned up in a later episode as her boss.

Thank you, @SFK and @Khan for indentifying the actors for me. I do indeed now remember Mr. Rashula from the reruns of WH and GT.

😆 Flo had to settle for a tin whistle from a Cracker Jack box.

She's one of my favourites. Thanks for posting, Amy!

You're welcome! She was great and didn't deserve what she got from JFP.

Hello Everyone.

 

I'm really hoping someone might be able to help me?

 

I know that Andrew Carpenter had many notable storylines, could anyone please give a kind of 'highlights' with dates if possible?

 

It would be HUGE help and I'd be really grateful.

Brian Tarantina, 60, who played Lucky Lippman and, a decade later, Ray Castillo, has died, apparently from a short illness.

Sorry to hear this. Lucky wasn't much of a character but I liked his friendship with Jake. 

From the clips I've seen, I liked Lucky and Jake, too. I always think it's fun when soap characters have non-main character friends.

anyone remember his story as Ray in 2004 I was watching but cannot place it

Weren't their lawsuits because of the way JFP treated pregnant actresses? For every actor who's a JFP supporter, there's another who can't stand her. I remember Marcy Walker having some choice words for JFP during MW's time at GL.

That's so sad. I read that he was the mutual friend and co-star who helped Jessica Tuck and Joe Lando reconcile their differences early in their OLTL run. RIP.

It’s been a long time since I’ve written a post, mostly because I miss this show so much. My curiosity has peaked in recent weeks to find out more about One Life’s first broadcast episode tho. 

Does anyone know what stories were highlighted on the first episode and how the first week fared in ratings?
