ANOTHER WORLD: Ada Dies Pt. 2

ANOTHER WORLD: Ada Dies Pt. 2

The beginning of 1993 brought sad news of the death of AW veteran actress Constance Ford, known to AW fans as Rachel's beloved mother Ada Hobson. This great, tough, no-nonsense lady was the epitome of "saying it like it was" and inspired many with her truth and wisdom. Her passing was truly a great loss to the show. The brief storyline where we learn of Ada's falling ill and eventual passing is presented here in her memory.

In Part 2, Paulina continues to worry about Ada as well as Stephen, who has apparently run away. Jake assures Paulina that Ada is a survivor and that she'll most likely pull through.

Matt informs Brett that his family has problems just like any other. He tells her about Ada and appreciates that Brett is there to listen.

Paulina is frustrated that neither she nor Jake can do anything to help Ada and Stephen. She then learns from Rachel via telephone that Ada has been moved to intensive care. Jake and Paulina, fearing the worst is about to happen (though Paulina tries to hide it), reminisce about her as if she's already gone.

The next morning, Paulina, distracted with worry over Ada and Stephen, clumsily breaks a piece of the family china. While Ian helps her clean up, Paulina informs him of how much Ada means to her. She tells him of how Ada welcomed her to the family.

Matt tries in vain to get in touch with Jamie. He then lashes at Iris, telling her he can't be bothered with anything business-related as long as Ada is sick and Stephen is still missing.

Rachel and Amanda arrive back at the house with news that Ada has died. Rachel tells of her last moments with Ada along with messages that Ada had for each of them. Once the messages are given, Felicia arrives and instinctively knows that Ada has passed away.

You are so right! One of the biggest travesties in daytime TV is that NEITHER Victoria Wyndham or Constance Ford won an emmy. The academy was too busy worrying about whether Susan Lucci (in my opinion one of the worst actresses) wins an emmy that they passed up on honoring these two ladies from AW. Victoria Wyndam is just tremendous in every scene.

Possibly the best mother-daughter team on daytime TV ever.

MIchael you are so right. It's as though Another World was considered the industries trailor trash of daytime. It never got the respect in the 80's and the 90's it deserved. Carmen Duncan (when Mac found out she was the chief) should have been nominated for that scene alone. Anna Stuart, Victoria W, Contstance F, Alice Barrett, were all top notch actors that the industry just overlooked. It's really sad when you think about it.

@flexpin123

some times when death is near the person can do some incredable things if so it should of been written in the script, remember to the chrachter of ada was one strong woman she would of found a way to speak to her , also the communication between ada and racheal could of been spirital in context just having her daughter there would of given ada peace and strength to cross over to charlie gil all the people she loved

[DoctorRod422010]

did Victoria Wynhan actually cry when she told them Ada died?

[flexpin123]

I thought she was on a respirator for all she managed to say before she died! Still, what a fabulous scene. Ida and Rachel were great characters, the hallmark of passionate writing that just can't be found today.

I remember this series of espiodes of dealing the death of Constance Ford. She was a great actress of her times. I remember her when she played Ida. She was a tough cookie. I miised her.

Where in the hell were those emmy people? Victoria Whyndam should have been nominated for these scenes as well as the Mac death scenes. She had to relive the lose of her friends in real life and on the set.
