It's very interesting that Liza had responded with a simple and elegant 'Thank you' to basically every single comment about Helmut's passing and then she decided to post that one. 

Estrangements happen in families and some are trivial and some are healthy and some are neither of those things...this type of display is just sad.

Some of you have posted some really thoughtful and genuinely kind respects in lieu of Susan Lucci's loss... that stem from your very personal appreciation of her work. But some of the rest of you...

Personally, I don't think the private lives of this (any) family, in the event of their grief, should be left up for speculation by strangers on this board. And if you think to identify your "concern" under the auspice of being a "fan"? Please note this is not fandom. This is not even of a caring nature. This is being a gossip and bordering on schadenfreude.  

If the same thing was happening to you, in your life, I would hope someone would show you some grace. 

And to a prior poster about the decorating tastes of Ms. Lucci in her own home - maybe you should share a video of your place, so we can understand what true decorating style is? Maybe it overcompensates for your inability to display tact.

Susan Lucci is amazing, an icon, and loved. I personally love her. I'm very sorry that she lost Helmut. I know it has to be devastating. I followed her IG posts with him included, and watched live with him standing by her side in 1999 when she finally won.

I ALSO find it incredibly intriguing to know about her relationship with Liza. What happened?? They were on talk shows together as recent as 2015 speaking about Liza's son and his medical condition. 

Susan is a loved public figure, and Liza made this recent public post on Instagram. 

It's not private at this point... like it or not.

It's not a dig at anyone.. no one is perfect. I'm just very curious as to what happened to cause the rift. 

It's like if two of my family members had a falling out. I would want to know why.

Ok I'll bite.

Firstly, I was expressing a personal opinion about the decor of Ms Lucci's home. I didn't realize that was not allowed or deemed unacceptable. I did state that taste is a very personal thing and two people can have differing opinions.

Secondly, I have no need to show a video of my home, but if I did, as Susan Lucci chose to do, I would expect that not everyone would like  the decor/design and might comment to that effect.

To play devil's advocate, we are still in times of COVID and I had a death in the family during the pandemic and the only people allowed at the funeral were those that were allowed bc there was a cap on number of people that could gather.

I’ve seen the “rumor” about a falling out btwn Liza and her mom on this very forum years ago. This isn’t the first time Liza has said they had a falling out. I’ve seen some speculation of what it’s about but nothing solid. It’s very sad that they can’t mend fences in this difficult time. I’m sure her grandchildren would be of great comfort to her right now.

This topic is already derailed, so why the hell not? Anyway, I know Liza attended and was part of the wedding for her brother (Andres) in 2017, Susan and Helmut were obviously there as well. So, this estrangement likely occurred over the past 5 years or so.


 

 

And Liza could have easily wanted to prevent this type of scene from playing out, hence not attending (whether she was “invited” or not)

    • I've always liked Kim Zimmer. She's a very good actress. I think the majority of the resentment comes from how much air she, or rather, Reva, sucked out of the show. There were periods where it felt like it was All Reva, All The Time. So many male characters had to be madly on love with her, even when they had zero chemistry with her. Her rival characters, like Sonni and Annie, were practically turned into psychos (somehow Olivia escaped that fate). She was given bizarre storylines, like the clone and time travel stories, to keep her front burner. It wasn't enough to have ONE bizarre reason she was missing (living with the Amish) she had to have TWO (princess of a Caribbean island, with a secret kid--her second one--to boot). She got an insane amount of attention from TPTB, to the detriment of other characters. Possibly because the actress weaponized her fans. Maybe that's an unfair assessment, but seems to me her day had come and gone and yet she was still centered so much on the show. I agree. In the beginning she was a very good character with a beautifully composed backstory. If they had kept her grounded like that, I am certain few would have complained about her.
    • Very true...and that was the heart of what the character was and excelled at..everyone goes on about the Slut of Springfield scene, but damn, did the writing and acting come together when Reva confronted Pharoh about her early molestation by him.  THAT is the stuff that worked...not being the Queen of a dumb island.
    • Frank Valentini should thank his proverbial lucky stars that JE came out of retirement.
    • I liked Reva, too, but as I've said before, no one at that show besides Pamela K. Long knew how to write for her or for KZ.  You don't plunge a character who is OTT by design into circumstances that are equally (or more) OTT.  The trick with a character like Reva Shayne Lewis is to keep the storylines as down-to-earth as possible and allow her emotions to be bigger.  I've always said that both Reva and KZ were at their finest when they were dealing with relatively mundane things like Josh's paralysis, her marriage to H.B. and her pregnancy and subsequent miscarriage.
    • I agree!  AE was just one of those performers who could draw you in, no matter what.  I don't believe I ever saw her phone in any performance on any show.  To me, she always gave 100%.  God, how I miss seeing her on TV every day.
    • Did OLTL have books in 80's like the other soaps that covered the early storylines of the show?
    • I liked (not loved) the character of Reva. I just didn't like how she ate the show. 
    • I’ve spent a lot of time at the bedside of dying family members. These hospital scenes feel very real. The entire Days team is doing incredible work.

    • LOL!  Yeah that makes sense, it seems like many soaps have that one character like this.  I do find it sad the other vets just sit around in the later years.
