Sadly all these are people, save Dee who DID NOT WORK with her. That is I fear what WILL happen the likes of those will be pimped in Frances'/Alice's funeral and not the actors/characters who were part of her story. Funny thing is I remember an article from about 2002 and Frances bashed and said it like it was about the then current young actors, I wonder what she would say now. She also was not silent about the mass firings and suggested to the returnees that when Dorkday told them to go with him to the DAYS Studio and show the cast "the new DAYS actors," as a joke for April Fool's that they DID NOT. She also came out and stated that the firings were not planned, and she even bashed publicly the perverted hack, hateful JERk.
ReplyDeleteI will look for some Alice scenes helping B/H, J/J, her adventures, her donuts, and remember watching the glory DAYS with my mother [who also recently passed away].
I agree that none of these actors really know Frances Reid at all. I'd rather hear from the actors that did work with her over the years. I'm sure the veteran actors with their own websites, not Twitter, will say something soon.
ReplyDeleteI hope the show does an appropriate memorial for the most beloved character and actress on the show. It's not going to kill them to bring back as many actors as they can who actually worked with her for a memorial, and not a crappy memorial like they did for Mickey Horton either. We deserve at least one eppies of nothing but flashbacks of Frances.
It's not entirely true, Frances worked (ok a little but she worked with them) with Alison and Nadia. They are vets, she knew them very well but of course MV,SR,MA,BD,DA,SA are the actors (who are still alive) who worked the most with her so who know her the most.
ReplyDeleteOh and KA and RC of course !
