I'm so sorry to see this news.  Lisa is one my favorite soap actresses.  I had not watched GL in several years, and she caught my attention one day when I was channel-surfing.  It was the scene with John Wesley Shipp, when Kelly confronted Nola about her lies regarding her pregnancy.  I was mesmerized.  Loved her on ATWT too.

Sigh---when I saw "ATWT Alum Passes", I surely didn't expect it to be Lisa.  Morgan/Kelly/Nola is the first triangle I really got involved in, and I remember when Bea stopped Nola dead in her tracks and confronted her about her lies. So sad.

Oh wow, this one definitely shocks me. She did so much to bring depth to Iva, even in her last years when the writing wasn’t really there and she also tried hard to salvage her return as Nola when the writing was certainly a disaster. No matter what, she was always a memorable presence. RIP.

So weird to think that we’ve lost both Brown and Michael Tylo suddenly within months of one another.

I am tremendously saddened by this news.

It is strange how affected you can feel by the passing of an actor you did not personally know, but this is one of those for me.

I first got acquainted with Lisa and in the Hogan Sheffer era when Iva returned and teamed up with Lucinda to find the truth about Rose. I realize this is far from Lisa's most memorable stint on the show, but even then there was something about her that just drew me in. Ever since I've discovered classic episodes on youtube, Lisa Brown has long been one of my favorites. There was always such an underlying tragedy in Iva's character, yet such warm familiarity in Lisa's acting. 

I've never seen Guiding Light, but I'm very aware that before Iva there was Nola. To have created two characters that were so iconic is really a tribute to Lisa's talent. 

From a quick glance of this thread, I already see classic scenes being shared, which warms my heart. I'll be taking out some time during this weekend to celebrate and remember Lisa Brown. May she rest in peace.

    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol

You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.
