Old soap characters you wish you could see

I really want to see Lahoma. I think she may have been in the wedding episode but that's all I remember of her, if even that.

I'd like to see Beverlee McKinsey's appearances as Emma Ordway on AW.

Diana van der Vlis and James Mitchell on Where the Heart Is

OLTL - I would have liked to have seen the living Joe Riley. I only ever saw him in a few flashbacks and when Viki went to Heaven. I was watching when Lee P. was playing his twin but I would have liked to have seen the Joe/Viki relationship happen.

EON - since I only saw the last few years of it, I would love to see earlier years and characters/actors that were long gone by then...like Anthony Call, Larry Hagman. Pretty much the whole kit n kaboodle before 1979-1980.

I'd kill to see some of Bruce's family from Love of Life. His daughter Barbara, son (not really his) Alan, and parents-in-law Vivian and Henry Carlson. Also, Van and Meg's mother Sarah. And, well, Audrey Peters as Van. AFAIK, Peggy McCay is the only Van you can find online.

As AW is my all-time fave, I agree that watching the triangle of Robin Strasser/George Reinholt/Jacqueline Courtney would be a blast since it had such a great reputation of bringing in fans to the show (and I love Robin Strasser).

I wish I could check out early Edge of Night eps because I've always read how different it was with crime stories.

I was watching Dark Shadows for a while on YouTube and was loving it! But then they took it down. Wish I could have watched the whole series through.

AW: Another vote for the Jacqui Courtney/George Reinholt/Robin Strasser torrid triangle of Alice/Steve/Rachel. I remember seeing a little bit of Audra Lindley as Liz Matthews...the mother-in-law from hell. Does anyone remember a great villain on the show named Danny Fargo?

Edge of Night: So many great early characters! Dr. Jim Fields! Cookie Capice! Orrin Hillyer! Martha Marceau! But my all-time favorite was wacko/psycho Stephanie Martin who had half the town as suspects when she was finally killed. Poor Nicole Travis took the rap.

Dark Shadows: I started watching when Victoria Winters travelled into the past, and the Barnabas Collins craze began. But I've since learned that there were several mystical plots prior. I've heard of Laura the Phoenix, but have never seen anys episodes.

Peyton Place: Rodney and Allison

I was fortunate to have seen the 70s greats (and some of the 60s) so I have to go back further. I would like to see:

ATWT: Penny & Jeff; Aunt Edie

Secret Storm: Aunt Pauline

Another World: Bill Matthews & Missy Palmer

Love of Life: Peggy McCay's version of Vanessa Dale

Search for Tomorrow: Would like to have seen the young Joanna Tate, her romance with Arthur Tate, & her daughter Patti as a child

Edge of Night: John Larkin's version of Mike Karr and Sarah Lane Karr (Teal Ames)

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
    • You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

    • Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.
