 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.

    • 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.

    • I’m not speculating anything, but I admit, I’m getting a little worried about James Reynolds. 
    • I feel like this is what they're doing by creating lots of storylines but their biggest weakness for years is the inability to properly pace these stories and give resolution. A good example now would be the Gio story which has been simmering for months with very little movement. I went from not caring to being invested to not caring again because of how long it's taking for the secret to be revealed. One story like that would be fine but it seems like everything moves at this snails pace on GH. They need to do a better job of rotating the stories so everything isn't in that same treading water phase.
    • However, those of us who watch DAYS have been spoiled. On Peacock there are no preemptions. Not for anything & not in or about any show.  I read somewhere that we Baby Boomers in a way invented instant gratification but then we realized that it was not fast enough.
    • The title track from the follow-up album Hot On the Trail is also co-written by Val Jean:
