While her story was never great there, I remember Meg Bennett as Megan Richardson on Santa Barbara, who was another love of CC's that had his long-lost (drippy) son Greg. Her acting was good. I just wish she had better material there.

May she rest in peace.

And Lewis Arlt.

Meg did a great job as Julia (combo of the actress and Bill Bell's writing) She could have come off as a victim/damsel in distress but imbued the character with an inner resolve that allowed us to forgive Victor just as she had.

And bringing on Julia's daughter Jamie at some point would have been a nice gesture.

So sad to hear this. I remember her as Julia on Y&R. I wonder if the show will pay tribute or write her death into the show ? Maybe Victor would hear of Julia's death and comes to pay his respects (with flashbacks). Julia's daughter Jamie and Victor would connect. Meg hinted in an interview what if Jamie was actually Victor's daughter ?

RIP, Meg. 

I always wished that they brought Julia back in a larger capacity to somewhat humanize Victor again. From clips I've seen of her, she always had a better way of softening Victor in ways that Ashley nor Nikki could do. 

I do agree with posters in the thread that this is addressed on the show and that Julia's daughter is finally brought to the canvas. I think it'd be refreshing to see Victor deal with the loss of Julia and having a story that allows EB to play his soft side. Victor being so hardened all the time is draining.

Rip Underrated Queen! I loved Meg In All her roles even that misconcepted Meghan Character on Santa Barbara! A crying shame I never found much of her tenure on SFT! Julia Was Probably my Favorite of All Of Victor's Exes! 

Allegra Montenegro was A pretty great villain, pity she was only for a short time on GH!

Now that I had more time to think of her, it saddens me more.

 

I knew of her as Julia on Y&R, but never seen her. And then to find out she was a writer as well. I was inspired.

 

I knew her as Allegra on GH. The story was bad...but she was a GREAT villainess. Something different. And she had excellent stage presence. 

 

Same.

    • Paula and Jeanne’s first time writing Alex and Stephanie. It didn’t seem like there were any changes in Alex at all lol but I can’t help  but think that that’s more on RSW than the writing. I didn’t see a big change with Stephanie either, but I did enjoy her scenes with Kayla, whose character has gotten so much stronger since last week. I hope we get to see a lot more of their relationship, and their relationship with Steve as well. As for Steve and Shawn stealing the drug to try to save Bo, idk. I don’t dislike it, but I just don’t know lol but I also think that it is time for Steve to pass the torch on to the next hero.  And finally, Javi showed some kind of spark! I was a little worried in his first scene today that he was going to continue to be so obsessed with Leo, but him demanding that Leo drop the investigation into Rafe and Gabi could actually be pretty interesting. I don’t think that would’ve happened under Ron. And if we’re forced to endure Javi/Leo, let them at least have some kind of actual conflict, instead of the forced, biased crap that we were subjected to. And speaking of Leo, one year ago today, he got Dimitri’s letter

      Btw, why is Gabi so beholden to Javi? Cousin or not, if I was her, the minute he said to her, “If he goes, I go”, I would’ve been like  Also, are they going to go there with Philip and Gabi? I’d prefer that than Gabi getting involved with Alex. 
    • She does look good in blue. I wish they'd do more with her hair, change it up the way JMW does now and then 
    • Hahaha - this is hilarious (and a ton of wigs at use!). The closing shot!!! LOL
    • Yes. I don't know if Lenore was ever asked. Then it became a nun. Thanks. I didn't realize it was in 1987. That timeline doesn't make a lot of sense even if she would have had Ed to interact with. If they didn't ask her back in 1989 and she was willing, what a stupid error. The attempts at these feuds, or even the whole families tied together stuff like Maryanne Carruthers, never had any real impact because of how depleted the Bauers felt even by the mid '80s. And instead of expanding them, which would have been common sense, various producers were just too lazy, or too ashamed, and kept bringing on other families, or bringing in too many people at one time and not knowing how to write for them (the Spauldings in the McTavish era - as SOD said at the time, everyone in the family had the same personality).
    • Wasn't there talk of them bringing back Rita as Gus' mother at one point? Or something?
    • I think they are a part of the same family, although Carla was never really scheming for the same reasons, and once her double life was exposed, she stopped. 
    • Rachel/Ada, Mona/Erica, a mother/daughter at LOVING, these are all examples of the Agnes Nixon "troublesome daughter/put upon mother" trope. Are Carla/Sadie by any chance one of the pairs that make up this trope? Another thing that these 2 shows might have in common. OLTL had a very strong thematic approach to socioeconomic differences between groups of people. Class differences. AW at an earlier point had this too but to be clear it was not as much as OLTL. So that is a similarity but marginal.  Besides that, I see no other comparable things. Paul Rauch was a very different EP at different shows. Oh, I've thought of one more thing. Using actors from the Broadway stage.  But, realistically that was something all of the NY shows had in common. So I don't think it has any uniqueness between AW & OLTL.  
    • When you look at the period between Sweeps, it's as if they tried to maintain a kind of pace where they had a lot of plates spinning in the air & on their fingertips & the whole goal was nothing but to not drop any of those plates. A version of spinning one's wheels. They're not getting anywhere but they give the appearance of a whole lot of activity. I believe it's all about this appearance. At moments they accidentally hit a chord & something resonates but it is a false event.
