True, Carol. Those who are familiar with Alicia , appreciate the actress. But, as yourself, I would like for Kevin, Mariah and others have more air time.
Perhaps, Dr,. Gates comes as a consultant for Ashley/Simon?

Harry 1 You are so right but I just get so angry at how we are losing core people for all the newbies. If you remember when Billy was in the hospital, Tracy Abbott gave the performance of her life. Crying at the bedside (I cried with her) telling Billy she would never forgive herself for being a neglectful sister and she promised him if he would get better she would be more attentive to him. Where is she? Harry do you remember when there we’re 3 families? The Abbotts, Newman’s, and the Brooke family and of course the Chancelor’s.… Read more »

Harry, I heard Jill’s portrayer is semi retired. If thats the case, recast the part and lets rebuild that Chancelor Estate now!

You’re right, Nikki. And if Jill is semi retired, doesn’t she deserve some kind of send off? Moreover, why couple Tristan with a character is off the canvas? I will never understand why both GH and Y&R continue to ignore this Aussie gem.

That’s why I want Mac back, Patrick/Timmm. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Mac came back and discovered that Catherine’s will was fudged by an alcoholic Neil ( under the influence), who wanted his son to get the bulk of the inheritance?
Not only would that imbecile Devon lose the money, but also lose that gold-digging wily wife of his.
End of a tragic COMEDY OF ERRORS….CLASSIC!!

@CeeCee, oh Lorna was a force to be reckoned with!!! She was such a great character originated by the brilliant Alicia Coppola, Robin Christopher took over the role. Do you recall that recast? That was a big one back then, anyways, I don’t watch Y&R, but dang, they are lucky, to have Alicia Coppola, that is great for her, I hope they give her worthy material. She had fantastic chemistry with Linda Dano and Charles Keating (Carl). What a memorable character as was her momma, Felicia. I met Linda Dano, Charles Keating, Victoria Wyndham, and loads of others back in… Read more »

Yes, Jeremy…best soap, ever, according to my Gran. I believe she goes far back to the beginning. She loved Ada…then, there was SOMERSET. She loved that soap, as well. I believe Ad’s ‘brother’ starred in that soap, who is Mr. Angelino in the THREE’S COMPANY reruns…LOL. Oh, Jeremy, my grandmother is the best storyteller. I wasn’t even born yet, but she is so descriptive and passionate about her soaps, I get confused and think that I was there, LOL. Robin Christopher as in Skye Chandler? I don’t think I remember that…off to Boarding School. LOL. I did continue to watch,… Read more »

Hi CeeCee do you remember Nancy Frangione (Cecile DePoulignac)? OMG I use to laugh at poor Rachael who use to go crazy with Cecile. I just loved Doug Watson (Mac Cory and his beautiful but crazy daughter Iris. Oh boy those we’re actors.

@ CeeCee, I loved Ada, too. Constance Ford, what a fierce broad. I also remember Liz, so well spoken. I can’t think of the actress who played Liz, but she was good, too! So many, SO many of them were just that good, underrated. AW shot out in Brooklyn, went to the studio one day as Vicky Wyndham’s guest, one of the most memorable experiences. Anyways, Robin Christopher took over the role of Lorna, after Alicia vacated the role. I didn’t watch AMC, though Skye was the daughter to Linda Dano’s character on that show, too? Ah, Steven S. and… Read more »

You know of Another World, Cee Cee? That was WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY before my time but I heard really good things about it.

@Nikki.
Hey, Nikki. Unfortunately, Nancy Frangione left ANOTHER WORLD before I was born, LOL. But, my grandmother talked me into watching so many passe’ episodes, thst I, more or less, came to know mostly all the characters.
Mac Cory was Rachael’s second husband? They had a daughter, Amanda?
It’s a little fuzzy. But, I will skim the internet and take a refresher course. LOL.

@Laura.
I ask you why you ask me if I ‘know of’ ANOTHER WORLD? Why is that so incredible to you? I KNOW OF all the soaps, past and present, “Laura”. WAYYYYYYYYYY before your time?? And????? What is it that you want me to say? You do not watch, or KNOW of anything before your time? Radio soaps were before my time. GONE WITH THE WIND was before my time. ANCIENT ROME was before my time. SHAKESPEARE was before my time. Get my drift? I still KNOW of them.
Is there a point to your statement, “LAURA”?

@Laura.
I am a little puzzled, ‘Laura’. ANOTHER WORLD, I believe, went off the air about 16 years ago. I was 13 and remember it well. I was saddened; my Gran in tears.
So, if the soap was WAYYYYYYYYY before your time, you must be a in Grade School, now?

@Jeremy.
Hey, Jeremy,
Don’t forget Lenore….she now plays Castle’s mother, on CASTLE.

Thank you, sweet lady.
Friends of the family ( Coppolas) run a couple of restaurants in the city…no relations either.
But, it used to be a hub for the AMC/OLTL actors. That’s where many of them hung out. Those who reside in NYC continue to frequent the place.
I guess the name ‘Coppola’ is more common than I thought.

Yes, indeed! Let us give this gifted actor a story which doesn’t involve him swooning over Ashley.

Sweet Cee, I hate to break the news to you, and this is just speculation but Alicia [Love the name] is going to be a doctor in prison. Nikki is hitting the bottle again and has turned her back on Victor, Guess who the MUSTACHE is going to court???

@Timmm. Love the pun, Timmmy…”court”. LOL. So, you think The Mighty Oak is going to prison? If he does, there’s no way he will spend a prolonged period of time behind bars. Oh, no…not avictor Newman. I haven’t watched today’s episode yet….so, I won’t speculate. As far as Dr. Gates? Same thing….I cannot yet spe ulate. But, is Victor still “viable” without medical intervention? I am not trying to be cute, or anything, but Dr. Gates will be pretty dedperate to be attracted to him……unless; unless there’s a scheme underway. I really could care less about Nikki. How many times… Read more »

This trial. …how low can he go?.

The roles get so confusing for me, Jeremy. I watched a few episodes just now….Ellen Wheeler initiated the role then, Rhonda Lewin , followed by Anne Heche? Jensen came on board after her and then Cynthia Waltros ( the original Kelly Andrews on Y&R) took up the role while Jensen was on maternity leave. I think five actresses played the role. I remember Alicia and Jensen very well, albeit I was sooo young…..But, I remember Ellen the best, as she picked up the role again, as Marley, in AW’s last run. Did I get that right, Jeremy? I just realized… Read more »

I am surprised jimh ( leave it to beaver) isn’t on the board. I know for a fact he’s an AW aficionado. He knows everything there is to know about the soap, and then some.
I hope he’s OK.

I loved guiding light so much if it wasn’t for you tube and some old videos I’d be a basket case!

I’m lucky that I’ve got many years of it on DVD that were transferred from VHS tapes to watch, never get tired of GL!

Or she’s Anderson’s sister with a scalpel to grind.. Lord help us.. She’ll drug Sharon and have her marry Neil or Nikki..LOL

Oh davlestev1 You make me laugh. After today’s performance anything is possible. I’m still trying to make myself believe out there in the world there is a judge that is going to put up with a man on trial (Victor) putting up every member of his family one by one and questioning them about things (not related to the case) and going back to the days of Matt Clark. ha ha! as if! No judge would allow that, next he’ll be reminding Nikki how he BBQ their first burgers together at the pool he use to have in the old… Read more »

Hey, Nikki.
I thought spouses were not allowed to testify against each other?
By the by: I thought I was pretty much versed on Y&R , but I am not remembering Matt Clark. Since his name keeps coming up, i better school myself on his story…LOL.

@davlestev 1.
Oh, boy, dav; great word-play. I have always been a sucker for using words inside-out; upside-down, or anywhichway. Love your “scalpel to grind”.
I am so glad someone else has my quirky sense of humor.

Hi CeeCee I’m taking all my thoughts back . She’s going to be a prison doctor and I bet she falls in love with old Vic. This whole trial with Victor calling his family up is such nonsense. As if any judge would allow this in a court. Matt Clark raped Sharon and tore the red winter coat Nick bought her. When she finally told Nick about it , he beat up Matt and went to jail. Now I’m confused because I thought he was in jail but then why was Nick in jail for killing him? I’ll have to… Read more »

Hey, there, my desr Nikki, I see that you and Timmmy are on the same thought process. So, there must be truth in your assumption. Perhaps the new doctor/love interest will educe from Victor a side of himself we have never before seen. He will be human? A changed man? I do agree with you about this being a cliwn court. Victor’s family parading…one and all…in front of the jury and the viewer was a joke. And, since when has Chris given Phyllis given her the time of day?…. and vice versa? They hate each other…always have; since the beginning… Read more »

So sorry: was typing in a hurry!!!! Correction…dear; clown court….. Chris has given Phyllis the time of day. SINS, not dins…. staged, not stages.
