What happened to Daddy Coleridge? possible spoiler


I've watched this show from day one when it first came on. And I am watching it now. I remember people referring to Ed being dead in the later episodes. But I don't recall him dying. When did this happen or did he just disappear off the show and no one noticed until later?

reply

marbleann, it is coming up. Watch the next several episodes. This is all I will say.

reply

TY. I think I get it. But I sure didn't remember it and I remember Kenneth.

reply

oh, no...something else for Faith to be guilt ridden about!

reply

gjhines; Plus the end of 'ordinary FAITH' and the beginning of 'attractive FAITH'!

reply

Please tell me I did not miss it. Will I be able to catch it at 4am?

reply

marbleann; Better have your VCR/DVR ready for Tuesday morning. The S*** hits the FAN!

reply

xerses, i DVR the show - i guess they don't make it to the Botanical Gardens, eh?

Off a cliff! Off a cliff! (for Krazy Kenneth!)

reply

bcates70; Unfortunately K.K. will not get the fate he so richly deserves. Not even a punch in the nose! Dr. Coleridge won't make it to the Botanical Gardens, but he will get lots of flowers and they will serve a great lunch!

Spoilers......


I saw it this morning. It was a pretty funny touch with Delia and Roger just standing there. Who I really wish went over the roof was Frank. God it is ok for him basically to have almost a unspoken relationship with Jill and no one says anything. I don't blame Delia for fooling around. And Faith tell Jill daddy fell of the roof. Poor Roger. When I first started watching RH when it first came on I had a different perspective about the characters. Funny how age changes the way you look at things. Oh but I was very happy about Mary finally telling her father where to go. I loved it.

reply

The end of terrible actor Faith would be my call, that woman was terrible from day one.

reply

marbleann, it has something to do with Kenneth?! I hate that character so much - this s/l is just beyond disturbing. I am so ready for that effing psycho to be arrested or fall off a cliff or something! And for ppl at the hospital to learn to recognize his voice on the phone, LOL.

reply

The actor who played Kenneth never seemed to get another job according to imdb, there were a ton of soaps on then you would think one of them needed a creepy guy.

reply

I came here to find out too, i know he passes away and i wanted to be braced for it :*(. Especially since he is making all of these plans with Faith while she is blind. I usually don't like to know what's coming, but like i said, i know i gotta brace for this one, it will be hard. Knowing Nell was going to be gone was weird too, but a bit easier. The loss of Dr Coleridge Sr will make me cry.

reply

I guess it is kind of a long time ago now to know the details, but does anyone know if the actor playing Ed Coleridge was let go from the show or left on his own?

reply

Mr. Hole; Don't worry we will soon be rid of this rather 'ordinary' looking FAITH real soon. As for the actor playing Dr. COLERIDGE have no answer though the one playing FRANK will be let go for being a lush!

reply

Yeah, I knew about original Frank being let go for his drinking, funny it doesn't show on the air right now, whereas back when he was in the hospital he looked like he might be tipsy he flubbed his lines all the time and never looked anyone in the eye.

reply

Mr. Hole; Noticed that also. He was most likely keeping his eye fixed on the teleprompter or 'Que cards'. The great SPENCER TRACY was a lush, but not at work! 'Know your lines, hit your mark, look them in the eye and speak the truth'.

reply

he must of been really boozing it up for them to let him go. He was just a bad actor and way too old for the part.
I liked this Faith for the part. She was needy enough looking to pull it off. Now the story arc is over get rid of her. But she gets abducted again. Tell me how many people you know get abducted by love sick men in their lifetime. Only on a soap.

reply

marbleann; Looking at the current FAITH and I can see why Men cannot commit. Kissing her with her lips would be like kissing a FISH. That is NOT very appealing!
