I was sorry to hear of Roya Megnot's (Ava Alden)death in 2009 hopefully she will always be remembered. She was a good actress & fun to watch on Loving which was one of my favorite soaps!
I saw Randy Mantooth, a few days ago @ the Purple Rose Theater - "Morning After Grace." He was also very good friends with his mentor, Julie London ("Emergency!"), whom he lost in 2000 (as of this date, 16 yrs. ago).
Randy is one of the nicest, smartest, funniest, most talented people you'd ever meet. I remember that first scene I had with him. I was so very nervous. But he made me and everyone always feel at ease. Just a great guy. I was pretty much in awe.
Thanks Todd! The actor who is the maintenance guy reminds of a guy who was on both Search for Tomorrow and OLTL. Lisa was a hoot on SFT... She is another fun actress to watch. Thanks for posting these lovely gems. Would love to know how Randy did the small spaces bit..
DakotaCelt1 Yeah, he was a pretty nice guy. I didn't feel comfortable roughing him up like that but the scene called for it. After the takes. I was apologizing to him. He was very gracious about it. Lisa is amazing. Such a talent.
Thanks for the upload !! Lisa is a hoot wherever she goes.. ALOT more comical VS the original AVA !! I wish the original Clay was on longer.. Did Randolph Play Clay too ??
Expanding on what Todd said: At the time of this clip, Randy had been on Loving for about 2 years as "Clay Alden." But several months before this, he was revealed as an impostor - Alex Masters posing as Clay.
Wow this is a old one later on clay tells Ava that is real name is Alex masters and that Alex really cares for Ava after being shot in the head with a bullet at the police station and ending up In a coma for a couple of days and wakes up and then they both get married.
*Loving Soap Retro* Ava, Minnie and Todd worry as Egypt and Clay are trapped in elevator at Alden Enterprises. Todd gets upset and insults Ava, while trying to rescue Egypt. Minnie calms everyone. Alex and Egypt are freed and Todd recognizes Clay but he knows Clay is really Alex Masters. Alex gets very nervous. #loving #abctv #welovesoaps #randolphmantooth #lisapeluso Cast: Ava Alden - Lisa Peluso Clay Alden - Randolph Mantooth Egypt Jones - Linda Cook Minnie Madden - Birdie M.
