The Death of Mackenzie Cory--Part 28 (Conclusion)

Rachel arrives home after going to Mac's grave, and has a heart-to-heart talk with Ada about Mac. Jamie, Matthew, and Amanda share memories of Mac with each other and Adam. Rachel and Ada join the children, and Rachel sums it all up, regarding Mac being their husband, father, and everything else that he was to everyone: "We were very lucky to have him, you know. We were very blessed." The show's tribute concludes with a montage of black-and-white photographs of Douglass Watson as Mac through the years, both by himself and with his castmates, and ends with a single lit candle over which is inscribed:

In Loving Memory

February 24, 1921-May 1, 1989

I also loved Carmen Duncan as Iris... I loved them both. Carmen and Beverlee.

It would have been note perfect had Beverlee McKinsey been Iris, as she should have been.

Soaps were just so beautifully put together back then. God how I miss that time. There was a gentle sweetness to the scenes that simply is not felt in today's shows. Somehow, yesterday's shows spoke from the heart.....

Yes the actors loved Douglass Watson. And Vicky Wyndham was no exception. It was particularly difficult for her because she had to shoulder the responsibility the 25th anniversary of Another World with Doug dying the night before they were both to be on the Today show. And she told me that it was particularly hard for all of them because they had to pretend he was still alive and then go through the death all over again. It's different when it's the actor AND character that dies.

were the actors really in tears when they filmed Mac's death scenes?

Such beautiful and talented actors...I love the work they did! Only thing missing for me is Sandy Cory and Blaine. Mac's biological son should have been there especially since they managed to have Clarice and Larry. That was a treat, too!!

Thank you so much FebWriter. I finally had a chance to watch all the clips in this series. There are so many wonderful scenes in this series. This clip features one of the most memorable scenes I can ever recall between Victoria Wyndham's Rachel and Constance Ford's Ada. Ford is amazing in this scene. We forget that Rachel was once demonized on the show and Ada was the only one who saw her daughter for what she could become.

This was so beatuiful, this scene....the entire week. After all these years I still remember the song they played at the conclusion of this episode. So beautiful. And the words Ada said to Rachel about how Mac felt about her and why Rachel and Mac were "good enough" for each other...God, it can still move me to tears. This is just so beautiful. They truly don't make soaps like this anymore. None of them.

[vestarach]
