  1. Though I'd rather forget I know I never will. On this date in 1996 Another World did the unthinkable....The brutal murder of our beloved Frankie Frame(played by Alice Barrett) changed this soap forever(and not for the better) and for many fans signaled the beginning of the end for the venerable daytime drama.
