Members All My Shadows Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Wow, I wonder if saynotoursoap saw our posts here. Not only is that Edith episode up, but there's a Love of Life episode with Barbara Sterling. I'm geeking out on these episodes immediately.

Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'd love to see Sylvie too. And I really want to see Kit Vested or Charlotte Bauer on GL! Ruth did look more beautiful with age but I like her look here. Normal but stylish. I also love her performance here, especially in the scene with Grandpa (no scene like that would be allowed on a soap now). Edith was Chris Hughes' sister. She was in love with his unhappily married law partner, Jim Lowell. The affair ripped the two families apart. Irna Phillips planned for the two to get married and live happily ever after, but P&G balked. So Irna, being Irna, said f*** you to P&G by killing off Jim, who was a very popular character. Edith left town, but was so popular with fans that she made several holiday appearances through the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Gotcha, thanks for the info Carl, so Penny was just upset with her aunt because she was wrapped up in the scandal? I would also like to see Iris' parade of New York/St. Tropez friends who came to Bay City... Therese, Tracy, et al. There is an episode at Paley where she overhears her house guest Sybil talking [!@#$%^&*] about her and she throws her out of the house. She then heads over to see Mac and ends up having a blowup with him. Louise tries to offer some helpful words and Iris looks at her incredulously and spits, "Don't. you. give. me. adviccce." A whirlwind of an episode for BM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Penny idolized Edith, but beyond that, Edith's affair was with the father of Penny's best friend, Ellen. Louise initially worked for/schemed with Iris, didn't she? I have always thought the "Bye Bye Blackbird" scenes sounded very maudlin, but I would like to see them. I'd also love to see the early white trash characters like Madge and Lefty. Speaking of Caroline McWilliams (Tracy), I wish I could see some of her GL run, especially the story with Roger.

Members IMissAremid Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Not sure exactly where the Laura the Phoenix storyline falls, but I've noticed Netflix has started streaming Dark Shadows episodes to watch instantly. I just checked and it looks like they have from the first episode Barnabas appeared in for the next 150 or so episodes. Looks like there's a bit of Laura on YouTube also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Usf94zTcEb8&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Laura's story begins a few months into the show. It's a good story, not so much for her (although she's OK) as for the affect she has on others, and for the psychologist brought in to investigate her. He's a good character and brings out the best in Victoria...something that can't be said for Barnabas or Burke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jam6242 Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 For those of you who wanted to see David & Valerie from Days, here they are in 1976 (from Doug & Julie's wedding episodes). I liked them very much, it's a shame the show caved in to the bigots. On the show, I remember that Valerie's mother was the one who was against the pairing. She thought it would cause too much trouble for Valerie. Starting around :45. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tllzb1frrI&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Ruth Warrick was the first person to spring to mind when I saw the title of this thread, so thanks for that ATWT video, Carl! Ruth is so indelibly Phoebe to me, and IMO one of the best soap characters ever, so I was eager to see her in another soap role. (I've seen Citizen Kane, of course). Along the same lines, I'd love to have seen Beverlee McKinsey on Love is a Many Splendored Thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 I remember a Bev episode on WOST a long time ago (she was cleaning her living room). Thanks for the David and Val scenes. I'd also like to see Sharon and Karl Duval from DAYS, to get a hint of exactly where that story would have gone. The same is true for Joann Curtis on Y&R.

Members SFK Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Yeah, I believe that and/or another of her eps has made it to YouTube. Albert Stratton aka Eric Kane plays her ex-husband. There is a great YouTube page with all of Beverlee's primetime appearances as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted June 26, 2011 Members Share Posted June 26, 2011 Here is one that I found of Scott Thomson Baker when he won Star Search. He looks so young and so hot. I miss him on daytime. He appears at the end when they announce the grand champion winners. He won the 1986 championship for best actor. Star Search found/discovered him and then he headed to daytime. <iframe width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/6v-nbz8rFYs" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 A film noir site I visit was having a love in on Jan Sterling and the number of knockout performances she delivered in 50's movies like Ace in the Hole. Anyone who knows her work will agree. I would love to see her as Midred Foss on GL in the late 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
