Y&R's Alicia Coppola Talks: Dr. Meredith Gates, Eric Braeden, Another World's Lorna & Linda Dano!

25
So glad to have Alicia back in Daytime. Enjoying the chemistry with Meredith and Victor but could also see her involved with someone else too. Welcome back Alicia (Newbie – LOL)
Great article. Loved her on Another World!
I loved her on Another World, I miss that show, especially around 1991 when Lorna, Dean and Alla Korot’s character whose name I cant remember were on it was so good! Also when Anne Heche was on! Anne was THE BEST. I love Jensen Buchanan but she was never ever Vicky to me. That show was so great. The look of the show was great too, the lighting, the sets and the clothes. It was so neat I loved it. You tube it!
Jenna 🙂
So true. No other soap compares/ed to Another World, for me.
Awesome article and yes I am thrilled to see Alicia back on daytime, hopefully she will get a juicy story line. I watched her on AW and she was awesome and fit right in with the case of AW. Darn AW was great so do miss it and the all the actors!
Wow she seems like a really cool, down to earth and lovely woman. I love reading all of her love for Another World, Lorna and her former co-workers! And I LOVE how she threw in Melina K and Eleni from Guiding Light in there too! Proctor and Gamble soaps were the best! Classy broad!
1. Another World… was pure class and sophistication
inarguably… w/ As the World Turns… the best of the best
I am struck by her pics above
wouldn’t she make a perfect recast of Robin @ GH
OK- she’s 10 years older than KM
Too old for Robin–this actress is 47 and looks her age. Finola Hughes is only a few years older and looks young for her age.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Would have been a perfect, if not better, Robin than KM…i could see AC’s Robin with Jason or even Sonny!
soaps need families to root for… and add can you imagine… Anna, Griffin, AC as Robin… and Emma Knock out… this could work Another World cast swept me away with highbrow.. zeal… and who gets this good my heart races just thinking of Sharlene Frame and John Hudson I repeat so much… but who’s already tired of the Corinthos family…. give Anna a family let the Quartermaines… live with Jason… argh! i’m also.. so over.. Alexis and Julian family… save for Kristina and Molly… they are the only reason to keep Alexis and Sam around back to AC : LOL…… Read more »
I never watched Another World, but I have been impressed by Alicia’s performance on Y&R. I can see a romance very slowly developing between Meredith and Victor, and I’m all for it. I really hope he isn’t just using her to get out of prison (by using her father’s influence).
I loved Lorna so much and I’m thrilled to see her on YR.
Please do not pair her with the vile Victor. He’s disgusting & irredeemable.
Alicia would be great opposite Peter Bergman or Kristoff St John.
I know… “thank you” I would be repulsed and SICK if he touched me
Victor is disgusting… yikes
RUN
faster…
or beat the crap out of him
better
I see Meredith helping the Mustache get released from prison and either falling in love OR Jack eventually falling for Meredith. Either way it seems like this character could stay around for awhile?
Sigh– still miss Another World, that was my first soap– just goes to prove watching a soap is more of an experience that a passive activity. You made me all misty Michael bringing back old memories. As for her new character I can see her and Victor as a couple. In the past every time Victor had a falling out with his first family he has gone off somewhere and fallen in love remarried and started a new family– then he yearns for his old life, goes back home, becomes the same old Victor, the new wife cannot accept him,… Read more »
Loved her on Aw, Robin Christopher was also very good in the role. Another world had one of the most underrated cast in daytime ever.. They were truly the best of the best but din’t receive the merits they deserved… So many that i can’t even name then as it would be too long! Welcome back to daytime AC, call some AW friends and get them back in the game!
She seems like an intelligent person and so far she seems like a talented actress.
But her character bores the crap out of me. I cannot fathom her as a love interest for Victor.
Moreover, why do they have a prison doctor wearing mini skirts, high heel shoes and low cut blouses?
If this character is going to find her footing and make it, she has to get away from Victor.
Both literally and figuratively he is imprisoning her.
I caught AC and Catherine Hicks in a documentary on Netflix last night about being an actress as Who’s that Gal… worth watching.
I was not a huge fan of Lorna’s, but I could tell the actress was exceptional. I feel the same for Maura West.
Michael, fantastic interview! I have loved Alicia for so long, one of those strong female actresses i’ve carried with me for decades. For one reason or another i’ve missed much of her work after AW, but this interview brought up many great memories. I love knowing she and Linda are still close, and those 3 years were special in my life too and i’m glad i got to see as much of soaps in the 90s as i did! I’ll try to check out Alicia on Y/R. Thanks again
Loved Another World but was not watching it when the character Lorna was on. Am trying to like the Dr. Gates part but it’s hard as most of the viewers, myself included do not like the pairing with Victor Newman.
Loved her on aw. She was so different looking & worked so well with all the characters. I find myself yelling at the tv “don’t fall for victor’s lies” I care about her that much. A joy to see her on y&r.
Is Alicia Coppola leaving Young and the Restess?
I also loved Another World, it was the first soap I watched with my mom, we were both sad to see it go off the air, when Alicia Coppola first entered Y& R I knew she looked familiar but I couldn’t recall what soap she was on,…….. well I guess now I know lol computers are great for looking up info,i’m very happy to see Alicia back in the soap world.
