Members Cheap21 Posted July 5, 2015 Members Share Posted July 5, 2015 but Carly isnt forgotten bc she's Melanie's mother. She's been referenced alot since she left. Her connection to Daniel has at least made her a name that new and current viewers should know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GMac Posted July 13, 2015 Members Share Posted July 13, 2015 GL: Rita Stapleton Bauer and Carrie Todd Marler. I loved Rita, but a lot of story revolved around her. She might have been mentioned the first few years after Kasdorf left, but after 1984ish, nothing. Carrie Marler was only on for a couple years, but she was front burner the entire time. No one ever mentioned Ross' crazy wife again after she was shipped off to merry old England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapsfordays Posted July 14, 2015 Members Share Posted July 14, 2015 I loved Gloria. Sadly though, since she really had no ties to the show, wasn't related to anyone, and had no children with anyone, once she left, there wasn't really a reason to mention her again.

Members Paul Raven Posted July 14, 2015 Members Share Posted July 14, 2015 Bringing back Carrie to give story for Ross could have been workable. Who do you think could have been in that role in the late 80's/90's to replace Jane Elliot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 14, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 14, 2015 True. I bet this is why every new writer gets their pet character knocked up as soon as possible. See Chelsea on Y&R and Sage...on Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 15, 2015 Members Share Posted July 15, 2015 Ellen Stewart on ATWT.Original character,drove one of the earliest frontburner story that provided 10 years of story.Mother of Dan,Dee and Annie.Stepmother to Paul. Grandmother to Betsy and Emily.Ex mother in law of Kim,Susan etc. Yet by 1975 she was written out for the first time and by the mid 80's had very little story or prominence.dropped altogether in 95.

Members DRW50 Posted July 15, 2015 Members Share Posted July 15, 2015 Teresa Blake nearly left AMC in 1995 because she spent most of the year without a storyline. Then it picked up around spring 1996, but I'm not too surprised she was forgotten, as she was just a filler for women who weren't in the story (Dixie, Erica). She had a terrific, terrific exit though, far more than most exiting characters had in that era. I guess it helped that Megan McTavish had been the one to create her and wrote most of her stories, and had just come back when Teresa was leaving.

Members slick jones Posted July 15, 2015 Members Share Posted July 15, 2015 Don't sugar coat it, tell us how you really feel!! LOL-LMAO Gloria went from abused woman to a one-note joke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heffer Posted July 15, 2015 Members Share Posted July 15, 2015 Samantha Marler on GL. For a while they were trying to ship her and Dylan as a new young supercouple but suddenly switched her with Daniel St John. When Daniel turned out be evil, she went off to be with her father, never to be seen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted July 15, 2015 Author Members Share Posted July 15, 2015 Gloria is partly why I stopped watching Y&R. I did NOT understand why she was on EVERY SINGLE DAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapsfordays Posted July 16, 2015 Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 I liked Samantha. She was front burner for 3 years. I guess they didn't need her anymore once they brought in all those women in her same age group. Bridget, Kat, Julie, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted July 16, 2015 Members Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sam was even in the car with Reva right before she jumped out as Reva drove off the bridge. I'm surprised Sam was never brought on later on being both Ross' niece and Phillip's bio sister but I do remember her vertical wheelchair tale for better or for worse. Didn't she have an off-screen exit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
