ALL: Soap Stars - Where are they now?

That was a great interview.  I also love how he didn’t denigrate his time on soaps.  He told the truth- it is fast paced, they do repeat more because of the amount of episodes, and the one take is fast but limiting.  But he also went out of his way to say they are great.

Boy, does my heart break (again) watching that message.  But, God bless Debbi Morgan for bringing to everyone's attention how this crisis is affecting African-Americans in particular.

 

And she's right.  We are strong and we WILL get through this.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but I thought his acting was weak and amateurish on GL and never understood all the hype. I didn't watch much of his later years on GL as I wasn't tuning in as much and just realized now that he also had a role on ATWT. 08/09 weren't much of soap watching years for me...aside from the finale of GL

 

I haven't watched Ozark, but I'm always happy when soap actors get to continue on in other roles.

Certainly not an unpopular opinion on these boards. He was never that well-liked here, if I recall correctly. (I thought he had his moments, but I found his acting to be overbearing and tic-ridden, like budget Brando/Pacino.) I did think he had charisma and some sex appeal. It’s just too bad that he was playing a violent sociopath that GL was selling as a broken romantic hero.

I thought Pelphrey was awful on GL and ATWT. I'm glad he has found success elsewhere...he was alright in Iron Fist (I think I made it partway through the first season).

 

I'd posted that Debbi message in the COVID thread as I wasn't sure where it should go; so heartbreaking, and such a contrast to a lot of the glib celebrity messages. 

 

This isn't really the best tone shift, but Susan Lucci has a very quick cameo about 3 minutes into this video, along with Mary Beth Evans, Heather Locklear (I think - she looks a lot like old school Patty Weaver here...) and Maurice Benard.

Other than "The Days of the Week" on SCTV, I've never liked them, and they feel especially dated and embarrassing in recent years as they just show that no one has bothered to watch soaps in decades. I did like this one just because they bothered to include some soap people (sort of like that Sandra Bullock rehab movie).

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
