Members DRW50 Posted September 10, 2011 Members Share Posted September 10, 2011 Thanks. I hadn't seen this before. This was the show that was later revamped, wasn't it? Some of the cast went on to quite a bit. Does some of this remind anyone of Falcon Crest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted September 10, 2011 Members Share Posted September 10, 2011 Secrets was retooled into King's Crossing, IIRC. And YES, I totally get Falcon Crest vibes. Lorenzo Lamas, obviously, but Doran Clark always reminds me a little of my flawless queen Ana Alicia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 10, 2011 Members Share Posted September 10, 2011 The description of Martha Scott's character also reminds me of Angela. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZoeTate Posted September 11, 2011 Members Share Posted September 11, 2011 Secrets had a lot of Peyton Place in it. Bibi Besch played a sort of Constance Mackenzie character, a single mother with a winsome daughter, first played by Linda Grovenor(sp) in the pilot, and then by Marilyn Jones. Linda G. was beloved by the creator of the show and then she just up and quit show biz, but Jones made Holly Wheeler her own. Loved the evil Jordan Christopher as Guy Millington. I thought the character had an early gay vibe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 11, 2011 Members Share Posted September 11, 2011 It looks like Linda started acting again in the mid-80s, at least briefly; I wonder why she dropped out. I wonder if they had to fight to cast Jordan Christopher, since he didn't seem to have a lot of TV background. Did you prefer this to King's Crossing? I wonder why the show didn't work with viewers.

Members ZoeTate Posted September 11, 2011 Members Share Posted September 11, 2011 I could not get into Kings Crossing. There was a DS vibe to this one, with a 'tower room' that housed Doran Clark's character. I forget wha the 'big secret' was. LInda Hamilton and Marilyn Jones played sisters in this one, and while I always liked Mary Frann she seemed too young to be playing the mother. Again, a great cast but maybe too much Nancy Drew?? Plus ABC did not have a great track record at that time of keeping serial type shows on the air long. Rich Man Poor Man Book Two WAS a soap and I enjoyed that, but they did not give it a proper chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
