One soap regret is never having seen Richard as Jamie. Every YT video I've seen makes me know he *was* Jamie Frame.
Great interview Alan and thanks for playing the clip of Jamie and Rachel! Richard Bekins was THE Jamie Frame. For starters, he *looked* like a Frame…similar features to George Reinholt (his dad Steve), Christine Jones (Aunt Janice), Anna Holbrook (Aunt Sharlene), Alice Barrett (cousin Frankie), Charles Grant (cousin Evan). GREAT casting.
And of course a marvelous actor. He had so many memorable storylines. I’ll never forget when he realized that Mac and Rachel’s second marriage was truly over and the sadness…he should have been nominated for emmies
Glad you enjoyed it, Pat! I'm happy to hear this.
You bet, Pat! I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it.
Richard Bekins WAS the only Jamie Frame for me! He's a wonderful actor and still so good looking today. Thank you, Alan, for another happy trip down memory lane 🙏
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed our chat.
Alan, I really, really enjoyed this past hour of being with you, Richard Bekins, and so many fans of both of yours and Richard's. Thank you for providing this wonderful gift. 🙂
It was great chase and again it was your stuff where I got to actually see Richard as Jamie and I have not even finished watching all of it. But again I like how you have it in chronological order.
@@gabrielstern4992 -- Thank you, and I greatly appreciate your kindness. 🙂
I'm thrilled to hear that, Chase. Thank you friend.
@@TheLocherRoom -- 🙂🙂🙂
My good friend Chase, I am a little late watching this terrific interview with Richard Bekins and Alan Locher. However, as you know, I so thank you again and appreciate all of fabulous "Another World" full episodes that you, Eddie Drueding, and others have uploaded to your UA-cam channel, which is the gift that keeps on giving! 🙂❤
What a fantastic, walk down memory lane💯👏😊 what a shining star no wonder everyone fell in love with him in the Another World Family !! Another home run interview💙
Yes a great one and I have to say from what I have seen of Richard he was the best Jamie and yes I agree Susan kieth was the real cecille and yes Nancy frangiione played her the longest but the charecter was just never the same and never seemed to be written the way harding wrote her or even Sam hall and even after the various writers at least Susan still was likable playing the charecter perhaps her leaving maybe had something to do with the issues with writers that began in December of 1980 when Sam hall got moved to Texas.
I agree she was a fabulous Cecile
@@benjaminautieri9606 yes she was anyway I am still taking a break from the 1995 Megan McTavish gl period I saw parts of it then but now as a adult in his mid 40s with a, sibling who is Trans I find what Megan McTavish did very offensive with Brent who was Lucy's rapist cross dressing like that Amonst other things especially after harding Lemay a few months earlier as a consultant while Jill Phelps was still there really helped Jill turn around the Lucy's rape storyline into a very great storyline just like he or Doug Marland would have written only for Megan McTavish to come in and ruin it and the strong message it sent including Nadine's death.
But I will get back to it eventually but that I found very offensive and that was worse than Maureen buars death. In how it was portrayed. And yes I know Micheal liabson did get rid of Megan McTavish for it but she never should have been brought back to guiding light in the first place especially when you had Trans people watching and people who are gay and families watching including teens and young children.
@@gabrielstern4992 Yes I agree the #1 Jamie. Funny b/c I didn't even start watching until end of '88 so I liked LL but saw the '79-'81 episodes on YT about 5 years ago and couldn't get over how much talent at that time too. '89 was probably my favorite year but RB's Jamie was the one!
@@balagan79985 yes thanks to chases uploads I have gotten to see Richard bekins myself and to me he is my favorite laurance Lau was my second favorite but I don't like that the show seemed to ignore Jamie's history with cecille but makes sense now after today's interview why Nancys cecille was not liked compared to susan kieths cecille because it sounds like Nancy just like bev McKinsey never changed her lines but it could be Nancy was not as good at interpreting the intent as Susan kieth was or bev McKinsey. Either way I never liked the direction cecille was taken from what I have seen after Susan kieth left and the first time I watched another world was late 1991 back then but now that I have seen so much more I am like what we're you thinking and the shirtless stuff with Richard bekins and Paul Rauch is kind of ironic because part of the reason Robert Kelker Kelly left as Sam fowler was because of doing so much shirtless scenes as he would have to get up extra early in the morning to work out to do those scenes but the difference was Donna swajeskis writing was no comparison to harding Lemays writing and I think it was Donna swajeskis interpretation of who she wanted the charecters to be VS who the charecters actually were. And that included Jamie frame but also Sam fowler Jake and so much more it became to sexualuzed without substance like great writers like harding Lemay did.
And my other favorite Doug Marland who harding mentored and taught a lot about writing. But I think harding and douglas were special in that they could write stuff and get away with it in ways most writers could not but Douglas especially. With a lot of stuff he did at shows like guiding light loving and especially as the world turns but something tells me harding too got away with stuff at another world like Rachel sleeping with mitch to protect Mac from Janice and the whole Mathew Cory bieng mitch Blake's son. So I guess Douglas learned it from harding Lemay.
Great interview of a great actor! Thanks!
Thank you for watching, Jake.
Richard Bekins is a great actor ❤❤❤
Love ! Valour ! Compassion ! starred Jason Alexander in the 1997 movie. Jason was hysterical in it. Wonderful movie that exposed what life was like during the Aids crisis . Alan. Great interview. So happy to see Richard Bekins fine self 😊 Thank You.
You are so welcome. Glad you to hear you enjoyed it.
Yes, still so handsome.
Richard looks great. Thank you for this Alan. My favorite part of the interview was when Richard shared about his connection to the character. How he would dream as Jamie, with the Cory mansion in his dreams. He mentioned being vulnerable, like his character. Very much enjoyed this interview.
Thank you for letting me know. Enjoy the weekend.
You're welcome, and thank you Alan. Have a great weekend.
When Jamie and Sandy were kidnapped at the Cory cabin, their capture was Ed ONeil that played Al Bundy on Married With Children.
I just saw that scene the other day! I couldn’t believe it was Ed O’Neil
Wow! Thank you Richard and Alan for sharing this terrific interview! I have been a long time "Another World" fan and especially happy that I watched during Richard Bekins' time when he portrayed Jamie Frame from 1979-1983. Also, now I am so happy and blessed to have seen Richard, Laurence Lau, and Russell Todd, who were the three most popular actors to portray Jamie, interviewed on The Locher Room! 🙂❤
I'm so happy to read your note, Paula. Thank you for watching all three interviews and for your note.
@@TheLocherRoom Alan, I am so honoured, and again thank you so much for sharing all of these wonderful interviews that take me back down memory lane! 🙂❤
Another wonderful interview! This makes at least three Jamie Frames you’ve had on from Another World
Glad you enjoyed it, Michael!
He was the best Jamie Frame. Another World was top tier when he was in the role alongside Victoria Wyndham, Douglass Watson and Constance Ford.
Boy, Victoria Wyndham was excellent. I remember her on GL when I was just a little boy, watching with my mom after school.
TYSMI completely forgot about this... was dying to know why RB left 22:00, glad he made the right moves for his sake but I have to say (even though I'm a lay person) big mistake on AW not to have pulled out all the stops to keep him and they should have sought him out with another huge offer and in 1986 and again in 1990, He and Anne Heche would have been so awesome together!
❤Bay City, Illinois. Another World. Very nice interview. Did enjoy the old clips, especially of Guiding Light 🕯️ and Another World 🌎. Greetings from coastal Mississippi. See you in the Locher Room 😂
I lived on 75th just in from Riverside, but I left NY in 1978.
Thank you so much Alan! What a cool guy, I love how down to earth so many of the NY soap actors seem to be.
Glad you enjoyed it, Benephil.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me know.
Time has certainly treated Mr. Bekins well. And I agree -- he's a little on the shy side it seems.
😍👍😍
Oh my God he is Handsome! I'm not familiar with him however I promise I will watch the entire interview and I'll for sure learn somethings about him to beyond his good looks!!
Love that, Terry. I hope you enjoy it.
Alan thank you another great interview although I never got to see Richard in real time getting to study aw history and seeing full episodes of Richard shows how much aw really screwed up history wize after Richard left. Concerning Jamie and his charecter.
Anyway from the live chat which I enjoyed I hope from the comments from others that drives home that fact.
Anyway if only aw could be rebooted I think Richard could maybe come back as Jamie if he is up for it and maybe Susan kieth as cecille.
And actually reset the show as if Jamie and cecille were still married as her portrayed of cecille was much more likable VS when Nancy frangione took over the role. But again I think when Susan left aw was having writer change problems under Paul Rauch which started after Sam hall who replaced harding Lemay amd was doing a good job was moved to Texas when Gail kobe was brought in by Paul Rauch but then Gail kobe fired him.
But that's when the writer issues started at another world while Paul Rauch was ep and did not stabilize until 1984 with Richard culliton and Gary tomlin but then that was only for 6 months and then the constant change of eps and writers just seemed to be a constant problem with the exception of Micheal liabson and Donna swajeski and yes she might have lasted 4 years but she really screwed up the show in ways I do not think Paul Rauch would have tolerated like Micheal liabson did.
What did Swajeski do to screw up the show?
@@ilunga146 she just could not write properly within the bounds of the charecters or the show and brought a lot of incomplete storylines and wrote things that were out of charecter such as the Jake the rapist storyline or iris improperly Dennis. VS Jim poyner.
Sam fowler Amanda Cory and altering history not mapping out storylines corectly leaving evan bates unresolved changing evan bates storyline around from what harding Lemay mapped out in 1988.
And yes harding intended for evan to be Janice frames son.
Let's see turning Sam fowler into a different charecter and stereotyping artists who paint then turning him into a country singer not writing Olivia Mathew's correctly. So the charecter came across as unlikable.
Abusing the pro choice point of view and taking abortion lightly Olivia Mathew's to a point where it feeds the far right extreme point of view perception of abortion.
I could go on and give you 5 pages of what she did because it caused a lot of damage and harm to future writers of that show but I won't get into every detail but if you look at her writing and put it up against Doug Marland on atwt or even guiding light with Pam long and Stephen and nancy curlee it's no contest those writers win out.
@@gabrielstern4992 Gabriel, I love you. I have been up 'til now, the only person I know who doesn't believe Jake could have raped Marley. Sorry. No. Couldn't have happened. Jake was simply not a rapist.
@@ilunga146But that was, what was, written by Donna but now if 6 months later Micheal
Iiabson was moved to guiding light to replace Bob Calhoun and Ed trach had asked Paul Rauch to come back to another world and had harding Lemay come back as a consultant or Doug Marland to act as a, story consultant and had Jill faren Phelps go back to Santa Barbara the did a Paul Rauch oltl style Jake was really an imposter Jake who raped Marly and kissed Donna his mother in law set up by Evan bates that I could by as ridiculous as that would have also been but if that kind of soap opera absurdity is needed to fix a headwriters stupid mistake I will take it but that's not what happened unfortunately. @ilunga146
My pleasure, Gabriel. Glad you enjoyed it.
Nina Foch? Wasn't she in The Ten. Commandments? Talk about old Hollywood. 🙂
Me to Alan concerning what would have been the first gay charecter.
But Alan the greatness was 10 or eleven years later we got hank Elliot from Doug Marland. And In hindsight it might have run into the same issue as what has happened on other soaps. But Alan their is one part from the description that was given about hardings intent that was not accurate hardings intent was not to shock Mike Randolphs dad like Erica Kane with Bianca. He wanted to do the storyline for the same reason Doug Marland did with hank Eliot. He really felt it needed to be done and Alan harding discussed it a little on entertainment tonight around 1982. But he discussed it in great detail in 2006 in a podcast with Eddie druding and Alan the way harding was, describing it was very hank Elliot like and very real and a slow buildup to Mike Randolph realizing he was gay while at college. So Alan in a way we did get that story already through Doug Marland and hank Eliot on as the world turns.
And don't forget the Billy douglas storyline on one life to live through the current writer and executive producer at young and the restless.
Josh Griffith and that one was a lot like hank Eliot.
And that's what hapens when you have compassionate writers.
🩵💪🩵
Chris Rich played Sandy Cory, Blaine Ewing was a female character
Richard Bekins is a dishy daddy. Yum!
Ha Ha 😍 Agreed!
Alan sorry to chime in again but when you were bringing up gay charecters aw never got to do it but as harding Lemay mentioned several times the charecter of Mike Randolph was supposed to come out as gay and we are talking about 1975 1976. And harding and Paul even had scripts written up and p and g was even fully on board but the NBC executives had a problem with it and it was pulled and never got done and that did come up during the live chat anyway Eddie druding has a podcast interview with harding Lemay from 2006 on his channel where harding discussed this.
And Alan I say this after now needing to take a breather from the guiding light 1995 period when Megan McTavish took over as headwriter with the Brent Lucy's rapist and Nadine's killer cross dressing as the way that whole storyline happened was just disgusting and offensive at least to me.
After harding Lemay a few months earlier while Jill was, still at guiding light as a consultant turned around that whole storyline and turned it into a really great storyline that was very Doug Marland like only for Megan to come in and ruin it and turn it into a, shocking disgusting violent storyline that sends the, wrong message. Maybe it's just me but with what's going on today having rapists cross dress suddenly I find offensive to the Trans community.
So that's why I had to stop watching that because one of my siblings is Trans. Plus I think gl forgot you had teens and families watching at 3 pm.
But thank god Megan ended up out as headwriter. But the stench of Nadine's death still wrenches worse then Frankie frames death or even Maureen buers death.
Anyway reboot time for these p and g gems with remixes even if we have to go in and alter time lines and Make it look real to viewers.
Lionel Johnston was hired knowing that his character, Michael Randolph, would be gay. Harding Lemay wanted to put a wedge in the marriage between Michael’s parents, John and Pat (original longtime AW couple), by making Pat sympathetic and John not accepting of a gay son. Lemay was hugely disappointed when the plug was pulled and had to scramble to an inferior storyline where twin sister Marianne had a teen pregnancy and abortion.
Love this. Sorry it never made it to the screen.
