I loved Tracey's story about getting Jeanne to feed her son his bottle, since her mom had trouble doing it...Those little stories about Jeanne always make me smile and miss her more!

DId Locher mean to ask about Peter Barton (Scott Sr) and just said Bergman instead? he's lucky Tracey  actually did have quite a bit of screen time with Bergman over the last couple of years, or else I'd still think it was an error of sorts.

Agreed!  If I was apart of the chat, I'd make him ask her that!  (She did say once in another interview that she still kept in touch with him and even went out for frozen yogurt with him, on one of the days he visited the set or something, so that's cool) 

I'd had forgotten about the Lauren/Cane kiss....another pairing Goddard asked not to do I imagine....

They touched on some interesting things -- Wes Kenney's arrival in her driveway to pursue her for the "summertime role of Lauren", although she was really auditioning for Patty Williams which she didn't get, and Bill Bell creating Lauren since she didn't get Patty (and all of that was fairly confusing, but Locher didn't ask for any clarification at all), bringing the baby to work and Jeanne Cooper giving him the bottle, the rabid fans of Cane & Lily, her 40-year friendship with Beth Maitland.  But there were a million things that might've been interesting that weren't asked -- Jim Storm, Colleen Casey, Steven Ford, and Jon St. Elwood, to name a few ... Instead, we got that long harangue about "pot roast makes cracklings, and cracklings are used in candy -- isn't that right?" while poor Alan just sat there blinking his eyes with his customary dunce-like expression on his bewildered face.

Sometimes he does better than others.  But you can always count on some platitude like, "E. Cavalier from Eugene, Oregon says, 'Thank you for coming into my house every day for the past 40 years.  You're like a part of my family.'  Wow!  I love that!  That says SO MUCH!  I really love that."

I've seen very few Locher interviews.  But I've seen him critiqued here so much that I almost didn't watch the Tracey Bregman one.  I'm so glad I did watch!
I wonder if it helped that she'd been interviewed by a lot of people all week -- If Alan watched those interviews, he might have got some idea of things to ask. 

I remember reading here a couple of years ago how Locher interrupted the people he was interviewing. He interviewed Eileen Davidson back then, and I watched, and yes he tried to interrupt. But .... he would start to interrupt but Eileen just kept talking and steering the interview herself, it was great! She would NOT be talked over.


So this week when Locher interviewed Tracey Bregman, I was expecting him to interrupt, but he didn't do that, he really let her talk, and I appreciated that.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
