If they still had older characters to complement the young, and great actresses like Ruth Warrick, it wouldn't have been cancelled. People want acting, not posing.
If only they were still presenting characters with this much depth the soaps wouldn't be in the cellar. This is what has been missing from the soaps for years. It's a shame.
Loved Ruth Warrick - she really clued into the fact that the more outrageously bitchy, melodramatic and overtly earnest Phoebe was, the more comedic the scenes would be. Such a fabulously entertaining actress, perhaps the greatest comic relief ever seen on an American soap opera.
Can someone please answer a ? for me? I was wondering when Myrtle Lum Fargate started on the show she married Nigel Fargate. Okay in the script it says she left Pine Valley with him to be married. Now the ? is did Eileen Herlie actually leave the show at one time or did she still appear on there after she left Pine Valley?
@tallulah1961 Eileen started in 1976. Nigel then died in '76. Myrtle never left the show until 2008 when Eileen passed away and Myrtle was killed off.
I loved Ruth Warrick. As an aspiring actor she is one of my idols. In real life Ruth was like Auntie Mame. However on the show I loved it when Myrtle Fargate always put that imperious Phoebe in her place. Eileen Herlie was also a favorite of mine & I was so saddened by her passing. We are lucky to have had both these angels with us for as long as we did! RIP girls!
Ruth Warrick was a great lady. Her character interactions with Mona, Donna, Kitty/Kelly, Myrtle were classic. The pairing with Langley was superb. The early days of AMC were great. The show barely seems like a soap anymore.
Phoebe was gangster!! Love her!

That's really nice background music during the Phoebe and Myrtle scene. Kinda sad and soulful.
