I was not a Another World fan for obvious reasons. So I wouldn't know and don't remember from reading it on the mags but what years did she appear on AW?

I feel so bad for her sons. Anne youngest son is her twin.

Anne Heche was one of the very best young actresses to ever work on soaps. Her talent, her presence, her charisma made her Vicky/Marley from AW the second best dual role next to the great David Canary's Adam/Stuart from AMC.

Anne Heche features prominently in this episode but the main reason why I'm posting it because it's a fabulously fun episode. It fun because the women in this episode is so wonderfully varied and diverse. Every one of them have their own individual voice. They can be witty, bitchy, insightful but more importantly each lady has her own since of intelligence. These are not stupid women.  This was back in the day when strong dialogue and strong acting can make a pretty much throw-a-way episode very enjoyable to watch. I miss AW!

May Anne Heche rest in peace. As others have indicated, she was certainly the best Vicky and Marley AW ever had. She gave AW a much-needed shot in the arm after that soap had so many missteps in 1985, 1986, and the first half of 1987. And the show was never the same after she departed in 1991.

This has been a very tough year when it has come to deaths of soap stars. Though the circumstances of her death were very different, I was also tremendously saddened when the great Kathryn Hays passed away earlier this year.

Marlena de la Croix once mentioned a Robin Strasser quote about "the arena" (scenes Robin would share with Erika Slezak). I keep thinking about that with Anne on AW because she truly commanded the screen in a way that challenged her co-stars. The best were those who sparked with her - those who did not would be left in the dust. I remember so many wonderful moments with Paul Michael Valley, Anna Stuart, Tom Eplin, and of course opposite herself, a feat only the late, great David Canary managed as well as Anne. I remember fleeting relationships that were so unique for soaps, like her friends with benefits bond with Evan, enlivened by the sparks and easy bond between Anne and Charles Grant. Most of all I remember how every episode with Anne had a spark, how every scene with Anne crackled with life and vitality. She was everything that soaps should have been and everything many in  and out of the industry who shamed it never accepted that it should be. 

I don't mean to just focus on a role she left in 1991, it's just hard to think about the abuse she suffered as a child, or the vile way the press treated her when she was with Ellen. Sometimes when I see old Mad TV or SNL episodes again I'm reminded of just how ugly the national conversation was and how strong she was to even get past that period of time. 

She had a life full of pain, but I don't think that's how she would want to be remembered. Her work will continue to stand the test of time.

Man, I did not recognize Joanna Going who I loved on Dark Shadows 1991 and loved seeing in countless movies for years after. She's still beautiful but she changed her look really fast.

 

I did not know about much of her voice work. Anne made a great Lois Lane.

      A black family having a white maid would be a good subversion of stereotypes. Also want to say that while the overall show has many flaws, the biggest one that's legitimately stifling is the lack of a rival family.

      I also do not like the bits I've seen with Delia during Labine's 83 return. I am glad when she came back for the last time in 1986, she allowed Delia to move on from Frank.

      Thanks for the well-detailed reply. I'm fairly early in my viewing, so I have some time before it goes nuts. Thanks a lot! @kalbir and @DRW50 thank you so much. I am just approaching 100 episodes, so I'm good for now.

      The Duprees as the main family isn't the problem, but the fact is that over 3/4 of the cast are Duprees.. so it limits coupling potential and also keeps the canvas too closed in. Too many female Duprees and no hetero, nor gay, male Duprees is also a problem.   I also agree with @DemetriKanethat the male characters are one note, and not very layered/interesting... outside of Bill, that is. To me, I would have focused on either Nicole's family and dynamics or Dani's family and dynamics instead of trying to introduce/develop both families at the same time.  Nicole's family is more developed and interesting with loads of storyline possiblities then Dani's family right now. And because MVJ and co decided to feature so many Duprees... we're less likely to be free of any outside characters like Ashley/Derek since they're the non-Dupree part of the canvas.

      I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory

      I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him.

      This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.

      Kristen also raped John post-Paris with a Magic Mirror.  Her pregnancy was "delicate" and they couldn't be intimate.  She had already lost the baby, needed to get pregnant immediately again and set a Stefano tricked out Magic Mirror to hypnotize John and John thought he was  having sex with Marlena.  John woke up the next day and thought it was a dream.

      The show is only a few months in and still finding it's footing. I'm hoping MVJ has years of story in place for these characters and will pretty much stick to that plan (obviously with tweaking along the way) I do have some issues with the initial structure. Making the Duprees the centerpiece and not having a male with that name. Making Martin Vernon and Anita's would have solved that and made the age of the character more appropriate. I agree about not having a young couple in the beginnings of a romance. And having too many married couples. Jacob and Naomi could be just living together. That makes the possibility of other relationships more viable than within a marriage. Same with Smitty/Martin. Having them married with kids limits the story especially in terms of them as a gay couple.  The white characters existing in another universe is also a problem. That ties in with the workplace/job issues. I don't think they needed the hospital-instead the police station/real estate office or Martin's workplace could have utilized and have Derek/Ashley/Vanessa/Smitty/Shanice etc working and interacting there. ATM too many characters are meeting up in cafes etc-we're not seeing them at work. We needed to see more of how various characters interact eg Jacob/Bill, Ted/Bill. There were a lot of extended family scenes but there should be more one on one to get a sense of character and family dynamics. Leslie is a great character but her bag of tricks is getting over exposed. I would hate that she is kept on and other character's made to look like idiots by accepting her presence. They'll need some good writing and twists to keep her around. We can only hope some of the lesser actors improve as I don't want too many recasts or writeouts. So it's early days and I look forward to seeing the show evolve. And give the Duprees some staff!
