RIP Helmut Huber


Recommended Posts

I'm sorry for derailing things by mentioning the rumored estrangement. I have never heard anything negative about Susan Lucci (beyond the untrue SMG stuff) or Liza Huber and both have led very respectable public lives, so my intent wasn't to make either of them the villain. I just was hopeful it wasn't as it appeared to be or that they had mended fences. It's sad to see they haven't reconciled, but hopeful someway they can in the future.

I don’t think it’s derailing to discuss what is publicly discussed by Liza herself! I’ll echo only ever having heard good things about La Lucci. Many years ago, when the daytime Emmy’s were still a big deal, I was walking past the red carpet in NYC without realizing what it was. There was a large group of fans behind police barricades hoping for a glimpse of their favorites. I saw many soap stars walk by and give the fans a wave, but Susan stopped to take pictures and chat. This isn’t to say she’s perfect, but I think she genuinely was gracious to her fans.

I don't think it's derailing to discuss the rift when Liza has made it a matter of public record re: their family and her father's death. What I objected to was gossip early about how Susan was supposedly a bitch BTS at AMC (something never really substantiated in 40+ years) in the thread about her husband's passing.

Others have mentioned it, but Susan and Liza were clearly working together closely re: Liza's son's illness as recently as 2016. It's just a shame things have gone back and forth for them.

Something tells me Susan would have refrained from dropping that kind of news on social media or anywhere else, especially in light of the circumstances.

IOW: Liza chose her father's death to start some [!@#$%^&*] with her grieving mother (and on [!@#$%^&*] social media) and that's just bad manners.

But she COULD have declined to respond at all.  She could have ignored the question - which wouldn't have been the first time a public figure ignored a question posed on their social media feed - or she could have asked that everyone respect the family's privacy at this time (or words to that effect).

I'm just saying, with everyone obviously thinking of Susan and the rest of the Huber/Lucci family right now, Liza picked the wrong time - no matter how innocent her intentions - to bring the drama.  Leave that mess on the soaps where it belongs, lol.

I know from personal experience that grief can make us do some crazy things, lol. These must be very tense and highly emotional times for the Huber family - her father's death and perhaps lack of outreach from her mother during this time can be enough of a perfect storm for an irrational decision or two. God knows I've been there in similar circumstances.

I can only imagine how difficult it must be for Liza to get a steady stream of condolences from well-intentioned strangers when her relationship with her parents isn’t what most imagine. My heart goes out to their family.

Or maybe no one is a bitch and Love and Family are complicated and everyone can do things they think are best that end up hurting others and people don't handle situations well enough that it doesn't escalate to the point no one knows how to step back from it.

It is not movies where everything is black and white. Sometimes everyone can have a point and a reason to do what they do and be in good faith and still hurt people they care about in a way they can't take back.

I am OK with the gossip but trying to assign blame on the dispute or pass judgement on how people are handling HH's passing, going to the funeral or not, without one single piece of information about the situation actually is seems rather futile to me.

Exactly. These things are not always so simple. If she wasn’t given the information for the private services or told flat out that it’s preferred that she not be there, it is what it is. I’ve seen similar situations play out in my own family, not to mention children of the departed who refuse to attend the funerals of their own parents. We don’t know the intimate details of this family’s various relationships. I pray that Liza finds her own way to mourn her father’s passing that brings her peace.

    • I just watched today (U.S Wednesday) episode. I love the Chelsea/Dani scenes.  Dani was way over the top; but Chelsea was the voice of reason trying to stop Dani from being so extra.  Every time Dani said the ridiculous dramatic thing, Chelsea was trying to calm her down, to be reasonable.   See, in this episode, Dani wasn't the star, Chelsea was the star with her calming presence. I felt like the show itself was acknowledging that Dani is too much - she is who she is -- not a villain, but not a heroine either.   This feels (to me) like a change from three months ago when BTG began.  At the beginning of BTG, I thought we were being told to root for Dani.  Now it's not that.  So I'm team Chelsea today.
    • This is so great, thanks for sharing!!!  Ahh, this must have been right after Jenny died. The flashback montage with Jesse/Jenny was very sweet. I remember my mom saying she was always devastated when Jenny died.
    • I enjoyed reading your perspective. I did shed a tear when Tracy showed Gio the broach and the photo of Edward and Lila. 
    • Today has been another great one. This has to be some of the best work of Dee’s career. Hate the circumstances but it’s so believable because I’m sure a lot of it isn’t really acting. It’s wonderful. Christie Clark came back in like she never left. I had assumed John raised Carrie in the RoJohn days since he was taking care of Sami and Eric. The flashback to young Carrie and John telling Carrie Marlena died was great. Carrie and Marlena scenes were excellent and so emotional. Marlena telling Carrie she’s her daughter and she’s John’s daughter

      “You will always be our daughter.” John grabbing Carrie’s hand I don’t hate Stacy, but the John of it all needs Eileen.  Rachel doesn’t feel like a demon spawn anymore boooo. Really wish we could’ve seen Kate visit John. They were once a couple, but ontop of that had been friends and business partners throughout the years.    Mumbles Taylor is just getting harder and harder to understand. Omg a flashback to the penthouse. What an incredible set. Really enjoyed the Abe and John scenes as well. Drake truly was so charismatic and committed to the material for his entire tenure on the show. I don’t care what anyone thought of his talent. His dedication and charisma and charm was exactly what the character of John needed.
    • Yeah, I would get it if its been years, or they left town normally... but with Dylan, he only left like 3 months before ghost Reva showed up, and then less than a year before Goshen Reva made it back to Springfield. When you add in something as serious as going blind and then amnesia, you'd think there would at least be some throwaway line to acknowledge it like "Oh I need to go visit Dylan at his school, I'll be back tomorrow" haha.  Oh well.

      Oh and yes @DRW50, when I looked up the character of Dylan earlier, I noticed a familiar name in Brian Gaskell and got excited haha.  
    • Unpopular opinion, but the Chelsea coming out scene reeked of Afterschool Special and I really didn't care that we didn't see her coming out to her grandparents.  We were spared the 'We're Duprees and we're better than everyone' speech. As a gay person, I kind of like watching straight people acting all messy and cringey (which is why I probably have a soft spot for Ashley/Derek... and sometimes wish Jacob would take his balls back from his warden Naomi) LOL If the show were willing to take risks, I would think the Dani arc is basically a 2020's version of Betty Broderick... but I doubt Dani would actually shot/kill Bill and Hayley.  Though I do have a feeling that if Hayley is pregnant that Dani will cause to miscarry the baby.
    • I don't think that's clever, though. Maybe the writers should forget about throwing shade and write dialogue and story for Ashley and Derek that isn't boring and doesn't paint them as boring.   I agree -- both of those still need a ton of work. I still say the fades to commercials look like someone walked past the camera and hit the OFF button.   Yep, this was regression in every way. Dani was all hopped up with Chelsea like she'd taken some party drug, and then it got worse when she literally broke into Bill and Hayley's house.   -- The fakeout scene was good, but I don't want them to go to that well too often. They're already in danger of doing that. -- I'm good with Brandon Claybon's acting style. It's different, but in a good way. -- It was an interesting turn to have Tyrell question Jessica's intentions. -- I didn't see anything special about the plated food on today's show. At Orphey Gene's, it looked like everyone had a plate of french fries.
    • Diana's BSOD in Gary and Abby's hot tub is yet another gif-worthy moment.
    • I'm sure once the next budget comes in, they'll develop another community lot.
    • I agree; she's always spoken highly of her time on World Turns and how they treated her as a professional at that point.
