John Gabriel (Seneca)
July 1984
John and Sandy Gabriel - he stars on ABC's soapy “Ryan's Hope” and she on ABC's “All My Children” - sent word they'll be taping their new syndicated “Trivia Break” this month and for a teaser they hope we can't wait to learn who Sophia Kosow, Christian Rudolph Ebsen, and Gladys Smith are. Easy they are better known as Sylvia Sydney, Buddy Ebsen, and Mary Pickford. Sound like “Trivia Break” will be fun.

Trivia Break was a few years before John and Sandy's attempt at their own talk show.

April 1977
Q: Is Michael Hawkins going to return to the role fo Frank Ryan? I really miss him. L.S.
A: Although nothing is impossible, it is doubtful Mike will return. He had lots of problems memorizing lines before he left the show and his replacement, Andy Robinson, seems to have slipped right into the part. Don't feel too bad. Mike once confided that he never was very conformable in any of the serials he did. You may remember him as Paul Stewart on “As the World Turns”, Mark Elliot on “Love is a Many Splendored Thing,“, and Kenny Haksins on “Search For Tomorrow.”

December 1977
Some shows never make script changes just because of adverse fan mail, However, there are shows that do an about-face because of viewer reactions.
“Ryan's Hope” is a good example. When the show began, Frank Ryan (originally played by Michael Hawkins, now Andrew Robinson) was set to die after 13 weeks. Fans were so taken with the young politician and the studio was flooded with fan mail that he be spared – so he was.

Nana Tucker (Nancy #3)
February 26, 1982
The relatively new character of Georgina Whitman, Tony Lord's car race mechanic, was originally slated to be a minor, unimportant part on ABC'S “One Life To Live”. However the character will be extended and will become more involved in the storyline and, as viewers noticed, Georgina has a new face in Nana Tucker. “Ryan's Hope” fans will recognize Nana as Nancy Feldsman from a few year s back, while more recently Ms. Tucker finished as stint as Darcy Collins on “The Doctors”...

I'll have to check YouTube for some of Nana's clips from OLTL.
As for Sarah Felder she was wonderful as Siobhan but she did have that quintessential 'earth mother' 70's look, same as Faith Caitlin, Kathleen Tolan, etc. MH had that distinct 80's glam look.
Ilene Kristen had more of the glamorous Shelley Hack late 70's glam look and that was why she was able to look very 80's as well (IMO lol)

It be great if there were some clips of Nana as Georgina.
I'd also like to see a clip of Ilene Kristen in the role of Georgina, too.

Tune in Tomorrow – Jon Michael Reed February 20, 1982
When the character of lady mechanic Georgina Whitman surfaced on “One Life To Live'” three months ago, she was intended to be an “interim buffer” to re-introduce the character of Tony Lord. Now, the shows writers have extended the character to be more active. But the actress originally hired to play Georgina has been dropped. Actress Ilene Kristen was the original Delia on “Ryan's Hope.” Her return to the soap world signaled a willingness to combine soap acting's financial security with her outside interest. Unfortunately. Kristen gained a noticeable amount of pounds to her girth between soaps stints. A “OLTL” source claims that Kristen was cautioned to lose the flab or risk her job.
Last week, “OLTL announced that Nana Tucker will take over the role of Georgina, Interestingly, Tucker's also a “RH” alumna. She played Jewish girl, Nancy Feldman, who had an ill-fated romance with Catholic Pat Ryan. Tucker later portrayed Darcy Collins on “The Doctors.”
Kristen, meanwhile, is rumored to be negotiating with “RH” to resume her role of Delia. The current Delia, Randall Edwards, is, according to another source, tired of the part and not afraid to let her displeasure show. Edwards garnered an Emmy nomination last year and was a delightful Delia. Kristen’s return, should it occur, would, however, be a reminder, and perhaps an inspiration, of the exemplary show “Ryan's Hope” was before it digressed to bloated tales of gangland wars and Egyptian mummy curses.
“RH” has hired Patrick Jame Clarke for the returning role of Pat Ryan.

February 1982
Nana Tucker, who recently joined "One Life to Live" as the "new" Georgina Whitman, will henceforth be known as Nana Visitor. The name change resulted from consultations with a numerologist, who predicted Nana would have more career success as a Visitor rather than as a Tucker.

No matter how much weight IK gained she was hella better than Randall Edwards! I don't care how gorgeous and slim Randall was, I couldn't endure watching her annoying high pitched Delia, and I bet the gorilla couldn't stand her either lol!
I FF through so many of Randall's scenes out of boredom I lost track of what happened to Delia in those years. I'm just glad Randall's Delia ran over Barry and I refuse to hold IK's Delia responsible for it lol!

December 1987
Bye, Nance. Dec. 9 will mark Nancy Addison Altman's last day as Jillian Coleridge Ryan on "Ryan's Hope," one of the few actors who has been with the show since it premiered back in 1975. A strong and reliable actress, she garnered two Emmy nominations during her years as Jill. She and her husband, former "20/20" producer Daniel Goldfarb, are moving to California, where Altman will be making rounds of film auditions and Goldfarb will be pursuing a new career as a screenwriter. Meanwhile, back at "RH," there were reports that the writers were going to send Jill off with a flourish by getting her involved in a political scandal or putting the character in a coma just in case Nancy decides to return in the future. Now, they've decided to simply send Jill off to Australia to visit her mother. Soap Bits - Even though John Sanderford is angry that his "Ryan's Hope" character, Frank Ryan, has been relegated to the back burner, he just signed a new 18-month contract...

Tune in Tomorrow February 1983
The original actor to portray Dr. Pat Ryan, Malcolm Groome, will soon take over from Patrick James Clarke, the most recent Pat. The switch is sure to cause mixed emotions for "Ryan's Hope" fans. Groome is an accomplished young actor, but Clarke, a charming performer, was just beginning to develop Into an interesting characterization. Meanwhile, a search continues to find a "new" Frank Ryan and an actress to play Amanda's older sister, Leigh Kirkland.

Wow I'd be mad too. I forget what they did with Frank. I remember NA returned for the end but what did Frank do for those what, 2 years? Nancy just ended up back on soaps. I saw her in some movies but she honestly blended into the background, she just didn't translate on film at all IMO. She fit right in on Loving but her All My Children role was a dud

She fit right in on Loving but her All My Children role was a dud . I give her credit that she finally decided to take a shot at Hollywood when she was already over 40.
