 We are losing more legends left and right. 
 

im just beyond grateful that they brought Marla/Dina back for those few years. Everyone already said it, but she definitely brought a presence back to the show that was needed since JCs/Katherines passing. her chemistry with all the Abbott kids (even PBs Jack) was definitely electric, and I’m thrilled that the Alzheimer’s story got her an Emmy! 
 

She will be forever missed!

I decided to do something... as a tribute or just a nice reminder - I cut every scene she was in as Beth Logan in Bold and compiled it into a video I uploaded on youtube. The scenes, especially with Susan Flannery are breath-taking. This is a complete performance compilation - no scenes missing. It's a very moving performance - a woman who lost the man she loves to her... own daughter. And when matched with Susan Flannery's talent - it's a war of psychological intimidation.

I MAY NEVER SEEN MARLA AS Belle on The Secret Storm But I Really Wish I Did! I loved Her As Dina Abbott Mergeron on Y&R! And really Hated Her As Claire McIntyre on DOOL but I guess that was the point anyway! She Also had some memorable guest roles on other shows! I remember her on A Hart To Hart Episode and I Remember Her As one of the "Daughters of The Old South" club Blanche wanted to Enter so badly in a Later Episode of "The Gold Girls"! Can't forget she was also a Temp in Capitol as Myrna Clegg and on "The Bold And The Beautiful" as Beth Logan, Very miscast in the later though got to admit it!

As we know Dina and Beth were nothing alike, so maybe its Marla Adams acting style. 

In between Marla Adams original run as Dina and her run as Beth, she was on Generations. I don't believe any of her Generations episodes have surfaced online.

Here are a couple of Marla Adams non-Y&R appearances during her original run as Dina.

Marla and Frank Benard rep Y&R in this CBS soap special week.

There has to be some late 60's and 70's Secret Storm episodes out there from Marla's run as Belle. Rick at Obsolete Video services on youtube has a ton of tapes he has received from collectors that he has not transferred yet. He has posted snippets of closing credits of early 70's Secret Storm. I say he is sitting on some soap gold.

    • Is there anything in print or fan lore or info about Don Stewart & temperament or behavior? Of course my brain could be playing tricks on me. 
    • “On ERICA versus RACHEL, Erica was a very unique character. ... Rachel was a lower-class Erica, her mother was a cleaning woman, and her goals were not nearly stratospheric as Erica’s. Rachel just wanted to marry Russ or somebody with money. What Erica and Rachel have in common is they thought if they could get their dream, they’d be satisfied. But that dream has been very elusive.”– Agnes Nixon, Creator, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ALL MY CHILDREN, and LOVING So my takeaway from this, plus knowing the characters, is that both Rachel & Erica schemed for acquisition. They wanted to acquire romance, husbands, prosperity, a kind of low-level fame or notoriety.  Am I correct in thinking that Carla schemed for safety, camouflage, to keep from getting caught & so for survival? Or did she also scheme for things similar to above?

    • 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.
