[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 443666, member: 27"] You might have heard of the dreaded and dreadful Exec Producer Jill Farren Phelps, who pointed several American soaps to the gallows, whether on purpose or not. One such hatchet job had been done on [I]Guiding Light. [/I]Shortly before[I] [/I]JFP was "re-assigned" a new, bizarre character was introduced named Marion Crane. She was a frumpy, middle-aged woman with short, black hair and un-feminine mannerisms and a terrible wardrobe. She also had one hell of a secret: "she" was actually a (disguised) psychopath named Brent Lawrence who had terrorized half the town and had "mysteriously disappeared"....only to resurface as "Marion," planning to pick up where he left off with hurting/killing people. The actor who played Brent and Marion, Frank Beaty, made for a hell of an ugly woman, but I think it was done on purpose because the disguise made him look more than a bit like [I]Jill Farren Phelps, [/I]who by that point was on her way out and could do little to stop it.
