 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.

      I was praying this pool set would retire... but nope. We're stuck with it for another agonising summer. LordT help us.
    • I wonder if Anita stole the spotlight at Barbara’s funeral in the same way Ms. Ross did when she arrived to Florence Ballard’s funeral in this over the top ensemble with cameras focused on her.

    • Justice for Tracy, Sharon and Barbara! Anita is the real villian and she shouldnt be painted as the victim. The Articulettes was the dream of Barbara who founded them only for Anita to steal the group and throw them away when she was done using them for her come up.One of the worse things you can do to a person is ruin their reputation and Anita was complicit in having Tracy and Sharon basically trashed and blackballed, thus ruining any chance they had of bouncing back   I wondr if the public think Barbara's death was an accident but the sad reality is, she is likely forgotten as an unknown footnote in the Articulettes origin story.   Anita didnt do anything that would warrant jail time but she should suffer. I hope this story is really a redemption one for Sharon and Tracy whom have their names cleared and they are able to be celebrated and have their accomplishments to music history recognized on a grand stage. Right now, this has all been about elevating Anita's own self and reliving her on glory. She needs to take a back seat and do right by those women and honor Barbara's legacy. She's a part of black history and Anita erased her

    • -- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake. -- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL -- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense. -- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer. -- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem. -- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.

    • Holy hell, this episode... I had a lot of theories about what Anita's secret entailed, but I didn't think it involved this. What happened to Barbara was extremely tragic. Is that why Sharon is so angry with Anita? Because she basically holds her responsible for Barbara taking her own life? Wait, does Sharon even know? She has to know, right?  I can't even imagine the kind of ramifications this is going to have on the entire town, let alone Anita's family. What are they going to think of her when they find out what really happened between Anita and the other Articulettes? What is Vernon going to think? I doubt he's going to be too happy about what Anita did? I wonder if Anita is going to feel so filled with guilt and shame over what she did that she might even attempt to take her own life. People think that Ted cheating on Nicole and having an illegitimate child was earth-shattering? I think this is going to be even more so, or maybe on the same level as Martin's secret, (but we won't even know for sure until it's eventually revealed, whenever that is). 
    • For me she just doesn't really work on Y&R, in part because of the performers around her and the style of the show.  Her second run as Tina did not utilize her in the best way much of the time but I think they did still find some of those softer moments, or Andrea did, and she just fit better with the performers around her. 
    • Didn't Katie call The Nose out a few weeks ago when Katie overheard her talking to Zende? OC, there was absolutely no follow-up. Maybe it'll come out when Daphne returns to drop a surprise on Carter. We all know Carter talking about having a family to Daphne that night is typical B&B foreshadowing. 
    • Unfortunately no….no one can touch Steffy

    • Tamara Tunie was exhilarating today. All her scenes were emotional, touching, and heartbreaking. 
    • This is why they complain cause the other soaps got them brain washed into believing soap stories should drag and drag and drag
