Good interview. I had no idea she was so involved with ATWT in the early 90s. I don't think she would have been right as Margo, but I wish they'd found another role for her. I think Vee may have mentioned that she was asked to return to OLTL in 1997, but I'd forgotten.

I'm glad we finally got an answer about her 1979 EON exit.

The Rauch stories were cool too.

And she was asked to do a reality show last month...that's crazy.

This was a great interview. As much as I loved watching her on AW, I admit that she had been given a really crappy character. I wish they had played up more of a rivalry between her and Anna Stuart on the show instead of making Brittany such an abused victim.

I loved that she said Linda Dano gave her the number to her own shrink and how Linda would do anything for anybody... haha wub.png

Fascinating conversation. Sharon sounds exactly the same. Loved hearing her perspective on Lee Sheldon and the Edge finale. Anyone know anything about the Countess, the OLTL role Sharon declined in favor of playing Brittany on AW? And I'd never heard the story about Paul Rauch locking himself in the bathroom and refusing to leave after P&G fired him from one of their soaps -- anyone know what that was?

I'd never heard it either. She must have meant AW, as that was the only P&G soap he did before OLTL.

Marianne Tatum played the OLTL role she turned down. Apparently they cut the role significantly because they didn't like her work.

DRW50, funny you mentioned Marianne Tatum, I see her often on TV and movie sets doing extra work. She was on Broadway in Barnum and then went out to Texas to care for her elderly parents. She also has a child with special needs, I think. She's a lovely lady.

I'm looking forward to listening to the Sharon Gabet interview. I subscribed to Brandon's Buzz on iTunes. He's got a lot of great sounding interviews in his archive.

Actually, no. Paul Rauch was also the EP of 'Lovers and Friends' before both he and Harding Lemay were removed from it & the show was retooled/relaunched as 'For Richer, For Poorer.' Also, wasn't Paul Rauch the original EP of 'Texas'?

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
