Members Franko Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 That whole Game Over episode was (used to be?) on YouTube. I wish I could find it. The Nola and Kelly stuff is worth the price of admission, but there's also the moment when Bea and Tony have had it with Nola and at the very end, the unsinkable Miss R. starts plotting her comeback.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 Thank you. This is what I wanted to know. Daytime Academy voting members don't seem to take to nuance and subtlety. It's why Kathryn Hays never got won or got a nomination. Soap voters favor the sturm und drang more than anything else. Beautifully stated. I am not sure many soap viewers appreciated this element. Like I stated before, often times about actors that employed a subtler style, which, dramatically, is more difficult to do. One of my acting instructors once said that anyone could get angry and explode on stage, anger was a far more accessible emotion and therefore easier to display than say, despair or indifference, anticipation, dread or ambivalence...those are very real emotions too. Of course, rarely did those snag Daytime Emmy awards. Just as you mentioned with certain scenes, I remember that break up scene because it had such dramatic range for both actors and Brown truly shined in all her nuanced skill-set. That full sequence probably hasn't been seen since it aired, I know I haven't seen that full sequence since it first aired in real-time but I remember it to this day.

Members BetterForgotten Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 Lisa was very fond of her craft. I believe she stayed on GL for a while (after she left as Nola the second time) as an acting coach for the younger cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 Ironically the episode Lisa submitted was released on DVD. It was treasure to watch Lisa play two iconic characters on two of my favorite shows. As crappy as the Emmys have gotten it would be a nice treat to see the ATWT and GL cast reunite one last time to honor Lisa Brown. I know it will never happen but it sure would be great to see.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 What a poignant and painful sentiment written so eloquently by her son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 I'm deep in the thick of the summer of '86 in my Marland binge, but I think I'll skip ahead to that '87 ep just for today in honor of Brown. (Always nice to see a HQ episode, anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 She was one of those soap performers that I knew about even if I didn’t watch GL or ATWT when she was a main character. Obviously Marland knew how to use her talents. Truly sad news. What I have seen thanks to the internet has been so awesome, especially Nola. She is really good as Iva too, it’s just as other posters have said, she so rarely got to have long lasting joy or any fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 This is an old story, but I still thought it was a nice moment. When Aretha Franklin was shooting a video for Everyday People, she put out notices inviting soap actors to participate. Most either didn't care or didn't think it was real, so Lisa was the only one who went. She has two short but memorable shots - playing with a bowler hat, and blowing a bubble.

Members Faulkner Posted November 27, 2021 Members Share Posted November 27, 2021 That’s a cool video! I didn’t realize she was in it. I think she’s at the top with the tiny part of binoculars too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members P.J. Posted November 28, 2021 Members Share Posted November 28, 2021 That's because we'd spent like two years invested in them before "cute little Ellie" slid under him and Marland blew them up. And as I remember it, there was no real angst---Kirk barely seemed to care who he was sleeping with. Yes...still salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
