Mac and Rachel 1979--Arguing About Their Kids

[@jrewing73]

The late, great, Douglass Watson! Hell of an actor! I grew up watching him with my family, back in the day. He is sorely missed!

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

Mac Cory’s name is like a household name, like Victor Newman.

[@gretchenwaldvogel7805]

I miss this soap. It was very good.

[@josephthomasjr.6551]

Ahhhh! Those were the days! Mac. Rachel. Iris. Soooo many wonderful memories! I miss the Seventies. I miss my youth. I miss Another World!!!

[@paulasfigureskating5612]

I so agree! The mid to late 1970s were the "Golden Age" years for "Another World!" :-)

[@jaywilson4520]

Wow, what a scene! Douglass Watson was a tremendous actor, and Victoria Wyndham really rose to it here too.

[@michaelrandall4862]

I hated it when Mac and Rachel fought but they were really good at it and was always heart wrenching!

[@williambyrdiii206]

Victoria Wyndom And Douglas Watson,Two Of The Best Actors To Ever Grace The Soap Opera Stage.Great Stuff.

[@Rosannasfriend]

That was one of the best fights I've ever seen! More please!

[@ericmaine]

Yes! Very adult fight and well written

[@goddessracheltarotmistress11]

I remember watching this scene in the original airing. This was high caliber writing and acting in a soap opera. Nobody else with the chemistry these two shared could have pulled it off!

[@dereka79]

Terrific scene!! This is what soaps USED to be in the glory days! Now this is real, two people who are at each other's throats, accusing each other but still deeply in love underneath it all ...

[@Fashionfreak351]

I LOVED Rachel Cory!!!!! Her and Mac were one of the best couples EVER!

[@Missknowitall77]

What an amazing scene. I have never seen Mac and Rachel argue.

[@kmfucillo1422]

Instill remember when this first aired. Id be watching after school.

[@jondriscoll9471]

Great soap writers back then - and great theatre actors !

[@jrewing73]

Tell her, Mac! Douglass Watson was THE MAN! I miss him immensely! My grandmother used to watch Another World when I was a little boy and I admired him!

[@katie9918]

Wow! These two could fight with the best of them! I'm loving these snippets of Mac and Rachel! It's so amusing and entertaining (in a good way!) how immature and self-indulgent they both are, despite loving each other with everything they are. Much later, Amanda did in a small way turn into another Iris (though not completely unjustified) when she and Matt teamed up to break up Rachel's marriage with Carl.

[@ElJefeNLA]

Mac and Rachel had the best fights!

[@catharbin6259]

Was this apart of Douglas Watson Emmy reel for 1980 Emmys

[@denis65]

I remember watching this scene when it aired!!!

[@marycaputo2238]

WOW!! They were truly amazing.

[@edithransom9441]

If I could put time in a bottle - those were the days. Missed really missed.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

I remember this show as a small child. My mom tried to get me to take a nap while she watched AW. All through Osmosis, I recall Iris was one crazy bee-otch.

[@DarknStormyNight]

"I won't have my daughter being turned into another Iris"! Lord help Bay City if there were 2 of 'em! LOL!

[@madbrowniac7871]

The late great BMK Herself was something else on Wheels in Bay City!😂🎤👸👍💃📺B.W.

[@duranddavis7710]

Oh Daytime.. please come back.!

[@paulasfigureskating5612]

I so wish that Eddie or someone had this "Another World" full episode! This scene is one of the best "Another World" scenes with Rachel and Mac fighting! This argument was quite dust up! LOL! :-) Eddie and FebWriter, thank you for sharing this awesome scene!

[@kaharold]

MAC, YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET BABY

[@Rosannasfriend]

Got to say, Mac was SEXY for an old guy! That strut at the end....wowza!

[@baconbap]

These two had such chemistry.

[@CaptainSpalding72]

Wyndom was the 3rd Rachel. She was the one that made the biggest impact that everyone remembers.

[@woohooboy]

Aside from playing the part for the longest time, Wyndham fully fleshed out the character of Rachel and made her complex and interesting. Robin Strasser did a fine job of playing the role as a scheming social climber. A minx who liked to stir up trouble wherever she went. Her four years in the role served as a great introduction to a character who would become the centre of "Another World" Margie Impert only played the part for a few months so she wasn't able to leave a lasting impression before Wyndham took over the role and made it her own.

[@kekwayblaze3176]

@@woohooboy That transformation was of course due to headwriter Harding Lemay who decided to reform Rachel after writing her as a villianess who broke up the marriage of Steve and Alice, it was Harding Lemay that created the character of Mac Cory and his daughter Iris and thus Rachel became reformed while still keeping that bitchy edge of hers that would occasionally come to the surface like in this argument with Mac.

[@jondriscoll9471]

Two class acts!!!!!! Rip Douglas watson

[@charlotteguy7]

It just KILLS me that NBC and P&G didn't save whole episodes from the '70s. Stuff like this is classic daytime drama at its very best. It's nice to have the stuff from '80-'81, but the true glory days were '75-'79. They just TEAR IT UP in this scene.

[@paulasfigureskating5612]

charlotteguy7, I feel the exact same way! The "Golden Age" for "Another World" was definitely from the mid to late 1970s! I so wish that there were more full episodes from those years!

[@lmitchell477]

This Is awesome

[@paigeroth402]

Douglass Watson was so great as Mac. He was actually born in Georgia so the debonair accent is real! Tell me, someone out there, what does Iris know?

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Peg Davis - Rachel was insinuating that Iris was in love with Mac, sexually, and that he knew it.

[@emerybayblues]

+Peg Davis The other day I was watching the 1957 movie "Sayonara" with Marlon Brando. Watson had a small role as a bigoted Sgt with a southern drawl, who is mad over American soldiers marrying Japanese women. He was so good, I looked him up in the cast & was surprised it was Watson.

[@paigeroth402]

Wow. I will maybe check it out

[@emerybayblues]

+Peg Davis He's actually credited as Douglas Watson, dropping the extra "s".

[@barryt6047]

Iris had visited Rachel earlier in the episode. Iris had alluded to the fact that Mac had moved into the same "Bayview Towers" apartment building that Iris was living... So when Rachel said to go back to his precious Iris, that is what she meant.

[@marycaputo2238]

MORE ANOTHER WORLD CLIPS, PLEASE

[@EdwynNSanchez]

Being To Another Iris. Another Iris on our hands. Spoiled Iris. Precious Iris. Ask Iris. Iris on our hands. Iris, Iris, Iris!!!!

[@MrCraigblaze]

Oh please Rachel..The worst Amanda will do when she grows up is Sleep with Jake !! 🤣🤣

[@SoapsGoldenAge]

I want to cry this is so good! I also want to tie current execs in chairs and make them watch

[@ericmaine]

Man! I used to LOVE to watch them fight !

[@catharbin6259]

I think Amanda was more spoiled sickly than iris

[@hrtoflove]

Isn't that the truth!!!!!
