Members MrQuartermaine Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 Sad as the name Paul Rauch has been one of the most associated names with Daytime for over 30 years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted December 10, 2012 Members Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm totally Shocked! Even though I wasn't a fan of some of his behind the scenes controversy (the mistreating of Ellen Holly is probably the big one) It's still a sad loss for daytime RIP!

Members Gray Bunny Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Controversial indeed, but the man gave a damn about daytime and in trying to make it the best product it could possibly be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 As someone said earlier he was one of those that you thought woukd be around forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Makes me wish SoapNet had (among other things) a Larry King-like program where actors, writers, producers, and soap scholars could intelligently discuss him and his work.

Members DRW50 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'd like that too, as long as it doesn't involve Nellie B Olsen talking about dick size rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 My choice of "scholars" rather than "journalists" was intentional. And the only thing Rauch was packin' was Lillian Hayman's bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 That would be nice then. I know there are still a few around, mostly on the Internet. Torchin, the guy with the three names who wrote for SOD and Weekly (my memory is awful), Marlena de la Croix. Maybe Michael Logan. Maybe. Rauch certainly had a breadth of work to analyze. I'm just sorry most of his best AW is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Have there been any other actors/other producers who have given any statements? It would be interesting to hear from people who were basically discovered by him, such as John Loprieno, James DePaiva, Fiona Hutchison, Jensen Buchanan, and Jessica Tuck, not to mention someone like Victoria Wyndham at AW.

Members SFK Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Has Brandon (of the Buzz) done his Erika Slezak interview already? She was one of his admirers. I checked Robin Strasser's Twitter to see if she'd made a comment. She says, "Paul worked & lived fiercely. A complicated man whose brand was tenacity."

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Wasn't he Erika's favorite EP at OLTL? She also liked JFP and Gary Tomlin (and I think she always liked FV), but I somehow got the impression Paul was her favorite. Kim Zimmer said in her book that Paul was her favorite at GL, too, IIRC.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 Beverlee McKinsey also adored him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 11, 2012 Members Share Posted December 11, 2012 He officialized her soap stardom with Texas. He was very good to some of his leading ladies, giving them a wealth of material to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
