- Note: In the last scene when Maeve is singing Danny Boy, Helen Gallagher started to break down during the scene and improvised the bit about asking everybody else to sing with her. If you look closely at the crowd many of the actors have trouble singing because they don't know the words to the song! After Ryan's Hope was canceled, the Ryan's pub set was given to ABC's One Life to Live where it was used for another few years.
I loved Maeve Ryan and Ryan's hope. Rest in peace, Helen Gallagher. Thanks for all the lovely memories.
Loved Ryan's Hope. My son Dan passed due to cancer at 28, but throughout his whole life, I would sing this song to him. 💕 Beautiful way to end an incredible program. RIP Miss Helen. 🌹
RIP, Helen Gallagher. Have a Peaceful Journey and Eternal Rest.
Rest in peace, Helen Gallagher. You had a good life.
I recentley saw an interview with a few ryans cast members...helen lost it thats why she asked everyone to join in..it suprirised them as you can see many didnt know the words lol...they said she also adlibbed the have a good life part....best ending to a great soap!!
OMG a teary end to a great soap. Great writing/acting......the end of an era
One of my favorite soap operas. Really, wonderful writing and the actors were fantastic. Rest in peace, Helen Gallagher.💙💗🌷
She was the best, RIP.
RIP Helen Gallagher (Maeve Ryan) who passed away today at 94. Wow...she's lived a long life!🙏🏽🕯🕊☘️
😖😖💖everytime I see this I cry like a baby... I wish they were still around I really do... I really miss it. it's a part of life you can't get back... the old days... it was one of the most wonderful shows on TV. today's people don't know how to do a great show like Ryan's hope 💖💖💖💖💖 It is burned in my heart forever 💕😘🤗🙏
Rose Morales I feel the same way Rose.I watched this while raising my two girls.I was alone with the girls all day and had no extended family.They were like family in all their drama.I miss those days.

Hi is there anyone that we can bellyache to?? to see if they can bring Ryan's Hope back to life? I know John Ryan and Jillian passed away... But they can always recast them... Remember all the times that they replaced Siobhan Ryan??? I like the first Siobhan they should have kept her she was good 🤗. I recently saw a picture Frank finelli he's 86 years old now I was so surprised.. sometimes I wonder what rock I live under 🤣🤣
@@rosemorales9284 You mean Jack Fenilli
@@debrataylor2215
Yes Jack Fanilli..sorry 😆
I know there's someone out there with Oodles of money that can bring back all the grandkids and great grandkids of the show but they need to keep that same enthusiasm and the great love that was there way back when..🥰🙏.. Delia and Roger are still alive.. and Jillian's sister I forget her name and she married one of the Ryan guys in real life you know how they kept switching Frank Ryan around
Sadly the actor Michael Levin who played Jack Fenelli on Ryan's Hope died on 1-6-23.
Helen was trying so hard to not lose it...sweet ending.
"Have a good life."--classy way to end any series. I'll bet she was talking to the audience too.
Really touching. American daytime soaps are like thoroughbred horses, they're built to run far but not to stop - so when they are canceled, their last scenes are rarely natural feeling or satisfying. Ryan's Hope is an exception though. Maeve singing Danny Boy as the camera panned character faces was perfect. Her last line was loving and optimistic.
The greatest soap opera ever. So real and family oriented (at least the first few years before they started adding people outside the family that nobody cared about). Jack and Mary's love story was so powerful it seemed real. The chemistry between them was real. What a WONDERFUL actress Kate Mulgrew was! The character of Mary was NEVER the same after she left. Those other "Marys" were horrible. They should have somehow ended Mary's role when Kate Mulgrew left. It was agony watching those others. I wish SoapNet would come back and start the show from the beginning on July 7, 1975 and show the ENTIRE series this time. I think this scene is the saddest ever in the show's history.
I would love that...is there anything or anyone we can call or do to see if they can do it.... rerun Ryan's Hope 💖😀🤗🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 please, please, please, please
I was glad to catch it when SOAPnet aired it. I was only 11 years old when the show started. I loved getting to see Jack and Mary’s romance blossom, break up, and reunite. They were so perfect together! And scheming Delia, mom Maeve and more.
I remember the episodes when Mary and Jack went to Ireland. To the glass blowing factory. It was something you never saw on a soap. Transported to Ireland for a soap opera! Unheard of. But it was so very well done. Absolutely beautiful.
"Have a good life." We'll try, Maeve. We'll try.
Applause.
I remembered this was the final episode of Ryan’s Hope 30 years ago. This soap should’ve lasted longer if it weren’t for being replaced by those rerun sitcoms
I bawl like a baby every time I watch this. Hard to believe it's been 25 years.
It's hard for me to because now it's 30yrs.
@@bridgettholman4074
And I cry every time I see this... over and over again... I really wish they would bring back Ryan's Hope... the theme music reminds me of my mom.. and I start to cry again.☹️
They all were. “Maeve’” voice cracks because she starts crying.....
Wow, that was so moving, I never watched this soap but I'd heard of it. Hard to believe the last episode was way back in 1989!
You'd think the closing credits for the final episode would have shown the whole cast at that time.
My only wish is that Bernard Barrow (Johnny Ryan) had been with Helen when the song was being sung. I think he deserved to be shown at the very end along with Helen.
Juss Sayin I agree he was wonderful. I loved this drama.
Maeve and Helen Gallagher were the true stars of the show. Ryan's Hope could have gone on without John, but it could not have gone on without Maeve.
Bernard Barrow was with the show the whole almost 14.5 years and he should have been with Helen Gallagher at the end instead of standing way in the back. But I guess the writers had decided that Helen was the star of the show some years before when they started showing Helen by herself when the Ryan's Hope logo came on the screen in the opening credits. In the early years it was both Helen and Bernard.
I remember watching reruns of this all the time with my g-ma when I was little. I always loved maeve and deliah. Maeve, the matriarch, reminds me of my g-ma and because she's irish, the two shall always be entwined. Ever easter maeve would sing this song as well (that's when the family would be together to watch it mostly) and when the boys (pat and papa ryan?) Would lift little maeve onto the bar, I'd get a chuckle. :) warm memories.
She sang it every St. Patrick's Day and maybe on Mother's Day a couple of times.
I will always and forever ❤️ love Ryan's hope 🙏
Always watched that show, I remember this scene so well.
ABC basically wanted to get rid of this show. They maid a mistake putting Loving on in it's time slot which forced Ryan's Hope to move to 12; 00 east coast time which is when most affiliates air local news causing many of those affiliates to drop the show all together.
I discovered "Ryan's Hope" during the summer of 1988, when I was fifteen. I already knew about the soap before then, but I never bothered to watch it. Just when I really started to get deep into it, ABC announced its cancellation in the fall of 1988. I wanted to skip school to see the final episode, but I couldn't bring myself to do that. I really enjoyed watching the early episodes on SOAPNET, because I really love anything that has to do with the 1970's. It would be nice to see the whole series from beginning to end.
Michael Williams it was wonderful
The show lost its way when the writers focused on a different family. It's RYAN'S Hope, not Kirkland's Hope!
I think the show lost its way when they introduced organized crime and made it the center of most of its story lines. Remember how they killed off Mary Ryan?
It lost it when Kevin Rae Kimberly Seneca faith & Bobby were let go then it went down hill the creation of loving didnt help either
@@suekelly840 sadly part of the reason they killed off Mary was because Kate Mulgrew’s replacements just couldn’t compare. I remember somebody telling that at the RH reunion.
Thank you Thank you for posting all these videos which SN refuses to show. all your work is much appreciated i look forward to watching these everyday. i remember the last episode when it aired it was indeed the end of an era.
Still crying in 2022
It is always so sad when a beloved soap leaves the air. I can only imagine how "Guiding Light" fans felt.
That was a different kind of loss. Seeing a 72-year mainstay being cut from TV the way it did took me by surprise.
Today it's 31 years! We got to see a bit of the bar on General Hospital for a few episodes.
It's not the same
☘💜I'd run quickly to watch Ryan's Hope when dropped off by the school bus! I love Ryan's Hope always.🍀💚
I watched and/ or kept up with Ryan's Hope from July 7, 1975 until January 13, 1989. I loved this show, and I still think it was a crime to cancel it in favor of Loving. Loving should have been given the heave ho instead. Still miss ya Maeve!!!
one of the best ever
I'd have to agree. Having watched the endings for EDGE, SEARCH, LOVING, CAPITOL, PC, SUNSET, SB, AW, GEN, and most recently GL I'd say RH's final shows were definitely the most "fan loyal" with GL's being very high up there as well with all the characters they worked to bring back as well.
Jeez. Maeve isn't as old as I remember! The definition of old changes over time.
And she is still around 💖 Jonny and Jillian have passed away ☹️
I know, I was entering High school when the show started. Everybody was old. Now, the older I get, the definition of old, gets pushed back.
this was a great soap I miss it
Back then you so looked forward for summer breaks, to get to catch up on the Soap Operas. Then time for school to start back and you don't get to see how a certain story line played out.
I enjoy watching these old scenes. I was born too late to appreciate the show. It went off the air in 1984 when I was 7years old.
It went off air in 1989.
I didn’t watch RH but watching this reminds me my younger years - no bills, no heavy responsibilities.
•crying bad ugly tears•
And a good life it was. Rest in peace, Ms. Gallagher.
I really loved how Claire Labine & company wrote at least half of the final plot twists with the feeling that life was to go on beyond the series' end. Siobhan is afraid to love again, and sees a professional and personal partnership with Fenno as a risk. Does she find happiness with him on both levels? Will Faith come forward with the paternity of Grace? (We all know that Pat IS the father.) Will Roger and Dee make it the second time around? Does Maggie stay in NY to be a thorn in their side?
In reference to Delia she did stay with her husband Roger and I think they had a daughter... if I'm not mistaken, that was a piece taken from general hospital don't know how long ago that happened I'm trying to find out... I will find out through a friend who watches GH religiously
I found out that Dee and Roger had a daughter..Ava from general hospital... this happened before Jason came back to life... Dee was running Ryan's bar.
@@rosemorales9284 Dee's daughter, Ava, was hers with Victor Jerome.
I loved her and Johnnie
They really need to bring back Ryan's Hope... Maeve is still around.... Jonny and Jillian have passed away.... but everyone else is still around 💖
Helen Gallagher what a talented woman. Rest in peace Helen.
Great to see. Thanks.
The 3,515th and last installment of _Ryan's Hope._
And most of these people never worked again in network television.
Oh..and Michael Palance too (where he played Dan Wolek).
They actually had Ernie Anderson voicing "This is ABC" right after the RH finale? During most of his time at ABC, Anderson had never done live announcements. Also, network IDs never always come directly after programs..I would have thought an ABC News promo or such would have followed it.
I just heard somewhere that Loving was supposed to be the one that got cancelled and ABC kowtowed to Agnes Nixon’a clout at the 11th hour. Not to besmirch the incredible Ms. Nixon’s legacy - ALL MY CHILDREN is and always will be my favorite soap - but I can’t help but wonder how much further RH could have gone if Loving didn’t have to stick its nose into everything and ruin it. And yes, I did follow and enjoy Loving too, just kinda bitter that RH had to be the one to go. It was (is!) my 2nd favorite.
THE LOCHER ROOM had a show with many stars from the show, and Ilene Kristin made it clear that Agnes Nixon was the primary reason Loving got to live on and Ryan's Hope was sacrificed instead. Such a shame.
@@jarrelldickey3486 Yes that might be where I saw it, a You Tube interview.
I remember this show and it was actually good,I actually thought Jillian played by Nancy Addison was a classy and attractive woman
RJ M she was fantastic and those cheekbones.
@@doniellestenson5231 too bad Jillian died in real life ☹️
A friend of mine named one of her daughters Jillian , and another daughter is Ashley, named after the character on Y&R
She was my absolute favorite on this show, even more than Maeve.
The show ended on Friday the 13th!
As did ABC soap "One Life to Live" exactly 21 years to the day later on Friday, January 13, 2012 before moving to online for a short time with Prospect Park.
Oops, I mean exactly 23 years later
With the advent of streaming I wish they would bring Ryan’s hope guiding light back
I saw on Wikipedia that Ryan's Hope had the opportunity to be ABC's 1st hour-long soap in 1976. But, the producers turned it down. Would RH lasted longer than it did as a one-hour show?
All of these questions and more basically prove Labine's prupose, stated above. ABC thankfully let RH go at a time when a visionary of the show was back writing, who could close things up the way it was meant to be.
Poor Louise Shaffer..because RH did not run a cast crawl on the finale, she did not get to be credited as Rae Woodard. Was that Jan 11th episode with the "faux" credits" actually the last cast crawl day?
In addition to the pub, OLTL also claimed Jim Wlcek & Yasmine Bleeth.
Cannot believe they didn't run a long cast crawl at show's end. It's the least they could have done since they cancelled it so quickly and they had to wrap story lines up quickly.
even though some of the actors didn't know the words, it still worked.
Stupid question I know - but which characters wedding reception was that?
Jack Fenelli and Leigh Kirkland's
@@erikandrus4387 Thanks!
Every time Maive sings Danny Boy I expect to see Danny Thomas Come through the Door!!!!!!
Helen Gallagher who played Maeve, died November 24/2024
Who is the announcer in the final season
Come on who can we talk to to get reruns of Ryan's Hope? Social media come on we can do this let's try I need help! Help me
Who can we get please to have this rerun over again? I would love to see this again before I die...who knows when that'll be, but I would love to see it again every episode without leaving stuff out !!!!
The only thing that would have improved this final scene is having Kate Mulgrew as Mary’s ghost present.
😢😢😢
Happy St Patrick’s Day😢😭
Is Grace my daughter?
Wait! They didn't say! Is Grace his daughter?
Yes she was 😊💖
They didn't say but the little girl they cast looks just like Pat! I guess we are supposed to draw our own conclusions!
@@stephaniereginam8626 Rose Morales said she was.. I'm so confused. ROFL!
It was a cliffhanger! They never said. Of course Grace is Pat's daughter. 2nd to last scene in final episode - Pat approaches Faith at Jack's wedding "I need to ask you something. Is Grace my daughter?" Look at her face. She doesn't want to look at him. He says "Can you look at me, please?" She looks at him and says "Maeve is about to sing" and runs off. It was so obvious the answer
@@stephaniereginam8626 Yeah you're right. :) Too bad that this had to be the series finale.
I thought the family disowned Delia when her lies were exposed
Which ones? She lied so often during the 13 years of the show. LOL They should have booted her out when they found out a year later that she had pushed Frank down the stairs at the opening of the show in 1975. But no ...
They dumped this very good soap and decided 2 keep general stupid awsome not.
What a crap ending 😡.
