Minor Characters You Remember

As funny and far-fetched as it was, here is the scene where Griffen Sanders was murdered by Lucas:

They also made it a point to connect Donna Love to Royal when Marley arrived in Bay City. At the time no one knew that Donna had given birth to twins. They had the red herring that Sally saw a flash of a diamond ring before David was shot, and the ring belonged to Donna. They wanted viewers to believe she was the murderer.

On DAYS, I remember Eugene's cousin Letitia Bradford (played by Ruth Buzzi) in a handful of episodes. She had a pet lion, pet raven, flirted with Roman and maybe Abe (can't quite remember). I thought she clearly was there for some short-term comic relief so I was very surprised when she ended up as one of the Salem Slasher victims.

Remember the stuffy mother of DAYS' Nurse Ali? I don't remember the mother's name, but she was played by Marla Adams. What a piece of work that broad was. LOL

I'm pretty sure Johnny got offed for working for another mobster against Soony...Out of the blue and totally out of character...

[amybrickwallace]

How about The Lady in White aka Rachel Blake (DAYS)?

[Michael]

Claire! She was great.

[amybrickwallace]

Thank you!!! If ever any actress was born to play the snooty, upper crust mother character, it's Marla Adams. She also played Jennifer's mother on an episode of Perfect Strangers and was great in that, too.

Before Nurse Ali set her cap in the ring for Dr. Mike Horton (and lost her mind as a result), I remember she was a fairly minor character. Wasn't Lisa Linde a recast? I don't think she originated the role of Ali.

[Michael]

I think Carrie Genzel was the original. Ali going insane did not feel like it was originally planned, but that was a fun smaller story.

[slick jones]

Carrie Genzel of AMC and B&B played her first!!!!

[amybrickwallace]

Thank you both!! I knew someone else had played Ali, but for the life of me couldn't remember that it was Carrie Genzel. Yeah, her plot got more and more convoluted as time went on - but that was 1999, and both Clark and Critchlow were getting ready to leave the show. Maybe that's why it ended up happening the way it did, and so fast.

I remeber Nurse Georgia Price (Lisa Figus), Nosy Nurse Jodie(Jodie Mann), Uncle Isaac Meyer(Cliff Norton), Mrs. Clancy(Nora Boland)

Uncle Isaac and Mrs. Clancy wanted to keep Jake from marrying Rose Kelly.Nurse Maureen Morrissey(Carol Bagdasarian), Johnny's sister.

Augie Nash...who worked for Anthony Hand and killed a prostitute. Speaking of, Anthony Hand and George Dernley, the mob bosses after Frank Smith that tried to destroy the rec center and Waterfront clinic. (Augie was played by Rick Grassi, Anthony by John Warner Williams, and George by Paul Comi). GH in the early 80s...

Days: Jim Phillips (Linda Patterson Phillip's husband & Melissa Horton's bio father)

Rosie Carlson (helped Bill & Laura deliver Jennifer Rose in her farmhouse kitchen)

Leslie James (worked at Anderson Manufacturing and dated Chris Kositchek)

GL: Gracie Middleton (Nola's ditzy friend)

Effie (maid befriended by Nola when she and Quinton went to London)

Gunther Lugosi (Quinton's fellow adventurer later murdered by Silas Crocker)

Was Leslie James played by Pam Bowen? She was married to Paul Stanley of Kiss, if she's the one I'm thinking of. Dana Kimmell of Friday the 13th fame played Diane number one. I liked the character of Diane, I can't remember the blonde actress that played her later on but she was good too. A little trivia - Tammy Taylor who played Hope for awhile was in a movie together with Mary Beth Evans (Lovelines, 1980) who would later play Kayla.

[jam6242]

The Leslie James on Days that I'm thinking of was played by Dianne Harper. I think Pam Bowen's character was also named Leslie but I can't remember whether that was supposed to be the same character.
