I thought the original Irene was played by Kate McKeown?

I'm asking if this is the actress that was in today's episode

Oh, that I don't know for sure....

I thought you were trying to figure out who was the first person to play the role.

Weird that Irene doesn't even call RHTodd her son, just the fugitive..and she refers to Todd Manning as..Todd Manning...I'm even more confused than ever truth be told.

Soap, I think that's where I recognized her name from. Some more pics:

I think I just remember her from her various guest spots on primetime TV.

At least they got a veteran actress to play her And she's got ties to the soap genre

Well bringing her back is a tad absurd but its kind of an interesting twist to the story.

The first Irene Manning died in the mid 90s, so no this is not her

How do you freaking do videos on this damn site now?

RC does whatever [!@#$%^&*] he wants to do. Bringing back a 30 years ago dead character is a piece of cake for him. This is why soaps are laughed at and not taken seriously anymore.

Woah!!!! Irene Manning??? That's a pretty cool twist. I guess they had to bring her back if they're going to the twin route. Man, this Two Todds storyline continues to kick ass.

Anymore? When were they ever "taken seriously"? Maybe up until the 70's?

8 years of history? 30 years of history? It's all the same. At least this will give Tina something to deal with.

Exactly. Its not like they would be taken seriously even if they weren't doing stuff like this.
