Loved this scene
Iris and Vivian were a great tv duo. I used to watch this show with my grandma after school and we loved it. Thanks for the post!
broke my heart--30 yrs later! how crazy is that. The chemistry between them is clear. And also clear is what a master Ms.McKinsey was. Sigh. Brilliant! Gone. One of the absolute best ever. Ever! Thanks for posting. I have the last year of Texas on tape--but I never watch it. Seeing it here--THANK you. Goodbye, Grande Dame McKinsey
This was the sweetest and sadest farewell scene I've ever seen on a daytime drama.
Omg....I am crying 30 yrs later! Beverlee and Gretchen were Marv!
Sad that both actresses are gone now....
I remember that scene on ANOTHER WORLD that they were talking about, when Iris slapped the guy who was holding them at gunpoint and told him never to speak to her friend like that again! Great chemistry!
Scenes like that made Iris redeeming....
RIP Beverlee, and Gretchen.
How fitting that Beverlee McKinsey's final scene as Iris was with the character's one true "friend", her loyal maid Vivien.
I love how the writers mined the rich history between the two characters. I remember the Another World episodes where Jeff Stone was holding Iris and Vivien hostage. Would love it if Procter & Gamble had them in their archive holdings.
RIP to both Gretchen Oehler and Beverlee McKinsey.
Many people don't know the Shapiro's who developed Dynasty were huge fans of Another World and developed Dynasty based on characters from Another World
Thank you for posting this beautiful scene. Such memories of a great actress in her final scene from a long run as Iris, such an unforgettable character. She is sorely missed. It's a shame that more viewers didn't appreciate this show in the early 80's. It still remains a daytime gem to me.
"has anyone ever blessed with such a wonderful companion"...
I just watched Iris return to Bay City, and the writers really did mess this up. They had Iris and Vivian at odds with each other. Vivian wasnt happy to see Iris and said she owed her a months back pay. I guess this was to turn Iris back into a vilian. One of the complaints about the character going to "Texas" was that she became to nice. Being a Texas and AW fan, and watching them recenetly, it just really stood out to me:)
@SoapsGoldenAge
Thanks so much SoapsGoldenAge for the offer. I passed on a DVD transfer I had of the last week of Texas (orignial VHS tapes courtesy of a dedicated Texas fan) to hfxmusicman and he, in turn, converted them to clips for You Tube. It would be great to have that Hitopah storyline preserved. So many people remember it. I loved it for forging one of the most unique friendship bonds in daytime between the characters of Ruby and Lurlene.

I always felt like on "Texas," Iris was supposed to take the same journey as Rachel did on AW ... to transition from villainess to heroine. But it just didn't work as well.
That's one of the resaons she left.
That's how the Corringtons wrote Iris in the first six months of the show. But there were a lot of complaints from fans that the character of Iris had become too blanded out. When NBC and Proctor & Gamble replaced the Corringtons as head writers after six months, the new writing team brought Iris back to her prior characterization.
This was a great scene . I think the show didn't take off the way it was suppose to was because the spin off from
Another World was not strong enough to attract enough viewers because the characters were all new except Iris and Vivian .
Iris was such a big character on another world and people love to watch a villain in disguise constantly scheming up crazy situations , they find it fascinating . Texas seemed more subdued compared to another World , it didn't have that edge that made Iris so intriguing.
You guy's will find a great Beverlee tribute on 'The Locher Room.'
Even the worst of episodes then are better than the best soap episodes now.
If Iris ever respected a person Vivian was it
Did they re-use the Iris' set?
Yes for Year 2 they painted it a Wedgwood blue.
What character moved in?
Alex's brother Grant and his soon to be ex wife Judith. She died and Grant married Reena Bellman.
Chuck Schwartz Grant and Reena left Texas together for NYC in the finale.
Judith didn't die she just accepted the divorce and moved on
@hfxmusicman you know--I don't upload or post--just not sure how frankly (I know, I should learn, can't be that hard. But until recently only had dialup!) BUT I'd be willing to send someone the vhs tapes--would just want to transfer them to DVD before doing so in order to keep a copy for myself. Have the vhs-dvd burner, would just take time..... So, here's the offer--someone really up for putting the texas story on youtube, let me know.
@CarolC32 Just her leaving the show..it continued without her.
Great scene...why did she leave?
Texas started with Alex Wheeler being shot at his wedding to Iris. Did he survive? Vivian said he needed cared for?
Texas debuted in August 1980. Alex wasn't shot until November 1980. He survived by the writers killed off the character in June 1981.
BAD NEWS FOR TEXAS FANS......
JUST ANNOUNCED FROM AOL
PGP CLASSIC SOAP CHANNEL
Effective 2009, Another World, The Edge of Night, Search for Tomorrow and Texas will no longer be streamed on AOL.
PGP appreciates the support of AOL and all of our loyal fans who loved and watched these shows during their most recent run. We are currently exploring other options in making these shows once again available for viewing and hope that that the break is only temporary.
@SoapsGoldenAge You're lucky to have the final year on tape. To bad you couldn't post the Hytopa storyline on CZcams. It's the storyline all Texas fans want to see again.
czcams.com/video/4-SodxpUwM4/video.html - the beginnings of the Hitopa story line thanks to The FBomb Mom here on youtube. Such wonderful memories from a different time. Hope you enjoy viewing as much as I have.
and Vivian came back to AW except Bev was not playing Iris
I didn't like how they did in Iris on another world . She went to prison for attempted murder of Carl hutchingst
I used to love how Iris would call Vivien "Vivvie".
Why did McKinsey quit the show? What made her unhappy? I read the show lost 1 million viewers after she quit.
Beverlee was overworked on Texas, the same thing happened on GL
why did she leave TX? P&G must have spent a bundle on her set and she quit
+adelgado75 She was burnt out. The only reason she did Texas was the money. That is what she told Pete Lemay, the writer that created Iris.
+Chuck Schwartz Thank you.
Any time. There is a great website with all things AW, and Texas---anotherworldhomepage.com/
I am not certain how true this is, but as what happens to a lot of "intended stars", the character of Iris became marginalized over time by the dynamism of other characters (Reena, etc.), and this was something that Beverlee could not accept.
Thank you.
Was this episode the end of Texas or just Bev leaving?
The show went on for another year following Beverlee's departure.
Vivian brougt out Iris' good side. Iris would have been a really terrific character if she wasn't so jealous of Rachel. Iris was great good person deep down!
bette davis meets kd lang
I love Vivian!
Does anyone know the reason why Beverlee left TEXAS just a few months after it's debut? Hell, she had star billing and everything. Was it over the direction of she show? I read that her husband died of a brain cancer 2 years after she left the show. Perhaps it was to care for him.
J De she left a year after. I think. Pretty sure her contract was 1 yr.
Yes, Vivian was the best friend Iris ever had. The only person who really liked Iris was Vivian. Lol
Iris in Texas didn’t work.
