Helen looked wonderful. I think an hour was a little to long for her, though. She couldn't remember a number of things, but that was okay - it was nice to see her again.
Some things I recall -
Helen approached to do the show. She loved that Maeve had children gathered abound her and was the center of a loving family. She adored Claire. Alan brought up that Claire created the role of Dr. Maude on One Life to Live that Helen played but Helen said she didn't remember that role.
Helen loved Bernard Barrow(Johnny).
Helen said Malcolm Groome (Pat#1) brought humanity to the role of Pat. Malcolm originally auditioned for the role of Bucky but then they had him audition for Pat. He turned down the soap at first.
Helen said Kathleen Tolan (Mary #3)was a dear friend.
Alan played Michael Corbett's (Michael Pavel) comments about Helen for her. I haven't watched that Michael Corbett interview yet.
Helen said she's not a good cook.
Malcolm admired Claire.
Helen said it was hard to play Mary's death. He wasn't on the show at the time but he watched it. Helen adlibbed "Have a good life " at the end of the finale.
Malcolm had acted/worked with Faith Catlin (Faith #1)in North Carolina.
Blowing up the bar bothered Helen.
Malcolm was in acting class with Nancy Addison. Maclolm is close to Andrew Robinson (Frank #2) and still sees him and Andrew's wife.
Helen said the show was rumored to be cancelled long before it was dropped.
Malcolm said Maeve was the moral center of the show and as the years went by Maeve and Johnny became more accepting. Helen agreed.
Alan asked about practical jokes on the set. Rose Alaio (Rose) sent a message that Daniel Hugh Kelly (Frank #3)was a prankster.
Malcolm's 17 year old cat made an appearance.
They agreed that the legacy of the show was family.
Helen's mother lived to 101 years old.
