The one question i wanted to ask Robin in her podcast 2 weeks ago was how it was working on AW, and you answered it for me! <br /><br />Unfortunately i haven't got to see a majority of Robin's work on OLTL, b/c once upon a time we had a rich abundance of quality soaps to choose from (unlike today!) <br /><br />My mother was a huge Steve/Rachel fan, and i only remember Victoria Wyndam in the role. But i did love Constance Ford, and so did one of my favorite soap writers, Harding Lemay! thanks againiowahawkeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718751521790339065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-10524681710172852702010-02-04T18:31:04.844-05:002010-02-04T18:31:04.844-05:00Daytime has had a wealth of fabulous actresses, bu...Daytime has had a wealth of fabulous actresses, but I put Constance Ford at the top. No one in the history of soaps could rip anyone to shreds like Ada, the truth-speaker of "Another World." On some level that show died with her.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12964233549924265752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-90448919275623989652010-02-04T18:12:17.830-05:002010-02-04T18:12:17.830-05:00What a wonderful tribute to the late Constance For...What a wonderful tribute to the late Constance Ford. I do not know Robin Strasser's work very well (Victoria Wyndham had already replaced her on AW in my time) and have only started watching OLTL recently due to the Kish storyline. If this reflection is any indication, Ms. Strasser definitely should be in the top five for reasons of being a classy individual. <br /><br />I'm rooting for Beverlee McKinsey to be number one. <br /><br />I think others are on to the identity of the remaining five. Would love to see honorable mentions to late greats such as Lois Kibbee (Edge), Irene Dailey (AW) and Ruth Warwick (AMC). I was a huge Texas fan and also thought highly of Carla Borelli and the late Elizabeth Allen.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09699604771827831586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-42558519094462619552010-02-04T13:32:53.232-05:002010-02-04T13:32:53.232-05:00How about Eileen Fulton?

It's a shame that so many of today's crop of soap actors & actresses don't strive for that "A".<br /><br />As for Patrick's comment regarding our five remaining actresses, my hunch is they are (in no particular order) Robin Strasser, Erika Slezak, Kim Zimmer, Susan Flannery & my all-time favorite, the late Beverlee McKinsey. <br /><br />Keep up the great work!<br /><br />Greggman7157https://www.blogger.com/profile/15420189346694125637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-60079142176517285292010-02-03T21:27:11.867-05:002010-02-03T21:27:11.867-05:00How wonderful that Robin was generous to share tha...How wonderful that Robin was generous to share that with you. <br /><br />Speaking of Robin....I suspect we may be seeing her name in the next few days? <br /><br />I have an idea of who four of the five remaining leading ladies are....the fifth has me baffled. <br /><br />Great interview!P Ceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07222604575997579135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-80869964936124066712010-02-03T20:58:02.292-05:002010-02-03T20:58:02.292-05:00Damon,

Great Work, Damon! :)Greeneb2https://www.blogger.com/profile/16466719799496320519noreply@blogger.com
