    Helen Wagner was a true giant in daytime television!! I simply loved her character on As The World Turns. I still miss her and this beloved soap. As The World Turns and Guiding Light were the BEST soaps on daytime television!!!

    ATWT wasn't a show I ever watched, but I recognize that Helen Wagner and her character Nancy Hughes is an American tv legend.
    Thanks for posting this.

    A true legend, you'd never know this was her last scene. Over 90 years old and she was still at her best. The scene with Katie also had some really nice, fitting moments summing up Nancy's character, such as her love for Chris and her finally being able to move on with Mac.

      Actually, this aired a month after Helen Wagner passed (5/1; this scene aired on 6/1)... so yeah, people knew.

      Actuallly, i could see Nancy in bed in the last scene...she smiles at Chris's picture on the nightstand and says, 'Good night, dear!'(opposite of her 'Good morning, dear!' which was the shows first words spoken)...she turns off the light and goes to sleep...fade to black!!!

    Nancy was a terrific actress who took the sketchy character of Nancy Hughes and failed her out full-blown, full of shadings and complexities, much more than the standard issue wife and mother of the 1950s. She never lost her beauty, never lost her sharp focus on the character and the script.

  • @Gary_Jaffe

    @dannybex "Rest in peace" (Latin: Requiescat in pace) is a short epitaph or idiomatic expression wishing eternal rest and peace to someone that has died. The expression typically appears on headstones, often abbreviated as "RIP". The backronym "rest in paradise" is also common as a variation.

  • @alexisdiva9

    Interesting that in Nancy's first scene she said "Good morning dear" and was probably pouring a cup of coffee back in the day - and as part of her last scenes she's in a coffee shop (at least not pouring coffee but actually being served) - she came a long way - well earned and deserved.

    GREG MAY of Orlando, FL says: "My mom, the late RUTH MAY got hooked on ATWT while awaiting my birth in 1956. Daddy bought her a 20" Motorola TV set. HELEN WAGNER was her favorite character. Years later after we moved to Orlando, I got my parents tickets to go see EILEEN FULTON who brought her cabaret act to Florida. They talked about meeting 'Lisa" for years afterwards." lateOF

    Nancy was one of the first characters I remember when I started watching the show regularly in 1979, when she was in scenes with her then-paralyzed son Donald and her troublemaking daughter-in-law Joyce.

    @dannybex it comes from the concept that just because you're dead, you're not necessarily at peace, you may return as a ghost to haunt people, or you may find your soul suffering in Hell. Peace, is not considered to be a guarantee in older Christian traditions, and Ancient and Medieval Europe.

    @BabyDillGerkin With all due respect, I obviously know what it means. I was asking why people use the phrase (especially "RIP") when in fact, they're not resting, and when someone dies, of course they're "at peace".
