While “Ryan's Hope” went on a two-week vacation hiatus from taping, Ilene Kristen (Delia Ryan) journeyed to Hollywood to check out possible nighttime TV and film projects. Ilene's contract with “RH” expires within the next year and if the actress can line up solid commitments in other fields, you can expect her to kiss “RH” goodbye.

I didn't realize his wife at the time was an actress.
I did seen in her last husband's obituary that they had a musical act. They had a real tough couple final years.

I wonder who the actress was they wanted for the new Delia but was snapped up by another soap...
May 24 1979
Q: Can you please tell me why the actress who plays Delia on Ryan's Hope quit the show, and also why so many changes in Delia in the past few weeks? J.G., N.J.
A: Ilene Kristen, who has a strong Broadway background (starring role In "Grease") and dancing background (she studied with Michael Bennett), wanted to leave the series almost a year before she did. She agreed to stay on only because she liked the people with the show, but felt strongly it was time to look for other kinds of work. Ilene has many interests aside from acting, among them producing and running an art movie house in New York. The theater, the Jean Renoir, lasted only a few months, but Ilene loved the experience and would be willing to do it again, only this time, she said, she would think it out more carefully and have stronger backing to make sure she could keep the project going.
As for the change in actresses, producers decided the first substitute, Robin Milan, just wasn't right for the role. The second actress they called said she was already hired to do another soap. The producers, at the end of their rope, decided to have an open call, which meant any petite blonde in New York could come to audition. They are delighted with the job Randall Edwards is doing. If you mean the change in the character of Delia herself, the writers felt she should be allowed to gain a bit of maturity and see what would happen if her dreams of money and power came true. But in the next few months we'll see some of the old Delia surface when she has business dealings with an important member of the Ryan's Hope community.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize her final husband had passed. In retrospect, she and MG moved to CA., because she had a job in the state. I just assumed it was acting.
If you don't mind my asking, what did Rebekah finally succumb to?

if you notice, when MG was promoting 'April of Her Prime,' he claims, he and wife, were touring the country for health food fairs. He never mentions musical acts.

'Moose' Dmoch, Rosendale musician, dead at 59
BLAISE SCHWEITZER
Jul 22, 2008 Comments
ROSENDALE - Michael "Moose" Dmoch, a musician credited with helping to bring the Rosendale Street Festival back to viability, died at Benedictine Hospital in Kingston on Sunday, July 20, 2008, of complications from emphysema. He was 59.
A guitarist, Mr. Dmoch regularly performed with his wife, Rebekah Lowden, as the duo Redwood Moose. The couple was married in June.
Mr. Dmoch got his start as a musician singing in the choir of St. Peter's Catholic Church in Rosendale. A member of the Woodstock-based choral group Ars Choralis, Voices for Peace, and the Wobblies, a trade union group, Mr. Dmoch had served as the music director of the Rosendale Street Festival for several years.
Although he could not perform at last weekend's festival, his presence was felt. In a message on the festival's Web site, Rosendale town Supervisor Patrick McDonough said Mr. Dmoch's tireless promotion of local musicians was "one of the keys to the resurgence" of the street festival.
In January 2007, Mr. Dmoch's and Ms. Lowden's Rosendale home was virtually destroyed by fire, but each of the next two months dozens of musician friends put on benefit concerts at the Rosendale Community Center to help them.
After the fire, the couple rallied and just recently completed a Redwood Moose album that is to be released soon, according to family friend Danielle Woerner.
Mr. Dmoch was born in Brooklyn on April 6, 1949, the son of Eileen Dmoch of Rosendale and the late Eugene Dmoch.
Besides his mother and his wide, Mr. Dmoch is survived by his brother, the Rev. Paul Dmoch, and many nieces and nephews, some of whom he helped raise.
There are no plans for a funeral, as per Mr. Dmoch's request, but a musical memorial event is being organized.

Rebekah was also a psychotherapist and social worker.
Reb, as they call her, can be seen in videos with the Moose, talking about their music, and the fire. There are 6 videos in all.
Here is one

Thank you so much, again. But wasn't Reb also married to Andrew Liberante?

I believe she had a number of marriages.

Tune in Tomorrow
Two 'RH' Brights Go Poof By JON-MICHAEL REED NEW YORK -
There's good news and bad news from the set of 'Ryan's Hope' this week. The bad news is that two of the show's most potent performers have dropped by the wayside, so to speak, Richard Muenz and Sarah Felder as Siobhan and Joe Novak. Last week Joe disappeared, the apparent victim of a gangland slaying, although his body wasn't found, and in the weeks to come, Siobhan will leave the Ryan hearth to get her head together after losing the man she loved but who turned out to be the heir apparent of a "Godfather" type. Both performer’s contracts were not renewed. Richard had mildly bellyached for several months about his character turning into a mild-mannered milquetoast. Reports also filtered off the set that he felt stifled by the strong-willed, domineering Miss Felder who also raised ire among several of her other co-workers. Despite the troubles, both Muenz and Felder were dynamic presences whose absence will surely dismay "RH" audiences. Muenz, incidentally, immediately began rehearsals for the Broadway revival of the musical, "Camelot." He will play Lancelot to Richard Burton's King Arthur.
The good news back on the soap is that the producers and writers are "gung-ho" over newcomer Trent Jones who portrays a singer, Ken George Jones, who's slated to attract Jill Coleridge's eye. The show is also hoping to sign Christine Ebersole to a contract as Lilly, the bimbo who has appeared several times as a potential romantic interest for Dr. Roger Coleridge. Christine just happens to be the real-life wife of Peter Bergman, who plays Cliff Werner on "All My Children."

OVER AT "Ryan's Hope," cast newcomers, include Kaye deLancey as Amy Morris, Ryan's babysitter, who is slowly being revealed to be one of those mentally unbalanced sorts who can cause all kinds of grief and woe. Kaye won the role after she was recommended for an audition by her pal Kelli Moraney (Kim Beaulac). Kaye and Kelli have been best friends since they began their careers at the Guthrie Theater in Milwaukee.
Kathryn Dowling has taken over the role of Lilly Darnell on "RH" from Christine Ebersol. who's starring in Richard Burton's "Camelot" revival, which is gearing up for a national tour.
Another relatively new "RH" cast member, Trent Jones ( who plays rock singer Ken George Jones), caught on fast to what makes soap operas tick. When asked how long he expected to be on "RH," Trent quipped, "Well, my character has a tumor. If the audience likes the guy he'll probably have a miracle cure. If not, Ken will go off to rock heaven right quick." On other "RH" fronts, watch for lady detective Rose Melina (played by Rose Alaio) to pick up the romantic pieces in Jack Fenelli's life, now that his wife is dead and his sister-in-law has moved out of town

April 2, 1982
For MacKenzie Allen soap stardom came in a rush. There he was trying to decide what would be the best project for him to try next when both CBS and ABC came knocking on his door. It was a Thursday when CBS decided they wanted to him to screen test for the part of Tom Bergman on Search For Tomorrow" but ABC slipped a contract offer to him on that Friday for the part of Jim Speed on "Ryan's Hope." Although the character of Jim Speed has not been written in that heavily for some weeks, in the next few weeks Jim will resurface in the storyline as the character of Joe is put in a sticky predicament by crime boss Vartova. Despite his recent inactivity, MacKenzie is an enthusiastic soap actor,"Soap acting in fabulous if you can work under pressure," he says, "I think that if you can work successfully in soaps you can work anywhere. It's a great training ground." Most of the credit for his success rests in his own hands however. Allen realizes that show business is, after all, a business like any other and has avoided some of the pitfalls that his fellow actors have fallen into. "I see some other performers floundering around like lost kids," he observes. "They fail to recognize that for all it's art, the bottom line is that show business, is very much a business.'' As for what's ahead MacKenzie is content with soap work and would perhaps like to do film and stage work in the future. Until then let's hope we see more of Jim Speed as he searches out the more unsavory element on Ryan's Hope.
