I wish it were still on.

Making Dinah such a crazy, sometimes very funny schemer and psycho was one of my favorite things B&E did - I think Wendy knew how to play this, and make it somewhat vulnerable. I never believed her as a heroine. I wouldn't say Laura Wright's character on Loving was bitchy or entitled. I think Laura in most of her GL run could have played both a heroine and a bitch, then toward the end became too cold for heroine status. Sara's character seemed to be an intelligent woman, but was also frequently in peril in her years as a leading lady. I think she started out as more of a possible scheming or "other woman" type (didn't Paul's feelings for her help push Robin to kill herself?). Not sure who she'd be comparable to. For leading ladies, I think her main contemporary was Leslie. GL ad about 7 minutes in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpPRFG8n71o

This is terrific. WLS put up two more clips of 1979, 1980-era ATWT. Nancy and Joyce, and Nick and Lisa. My first time seeing the Wade bookstore. Nick seems to be that typical Dobson leading man on ATWT - there's something unlikeable about him. I never knew they tried him with Lisa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsmkyjBsLyY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3q1vli8rDlw

VickRobCal has two new clips up from right after Gabrielle's 1989 trial, and Gabrielle begging Max to be with her.

Robert Duncan McNeill (the most popular Charlie on AMC, most likely, and later of Voyager), directed last night's Supernatural episode. I think Donnelly Rhodes (ex-Philip Chancellor, Y&R) is going to be on the show next week.

William Roache is up on rape charges from 1967. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-22374518

Yes. Will threw himself down the stairs. Has Kieron Richardson remembered how to act yet?

Wow. Classic Irna.

There's none of her GL run available, as far as I know. I wish I could see her.

Yet they barely interacted for three years after this.

I had a hard time with anything from 93-94.

What did you think of Katherine's role in that Tucker story?

Here's a clip of Roya Megnot's brief return as Ava, filling in for Lisa Peluso. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ts9ziiJGrk

What did you think of Pam Long?

I didn't realize Ann came back at this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbtOlRn_k24

Some rare clips of Elizabeth Savage as Gwyn. A little Deirdre Hall, a little theatrical. She would have been great on Dynasty. I enjoy her relationship with Curtis here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNvF3L92DuU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMaw3vGP5pE

I wonder sometimes if it was because she married Rex. After that the character mostly just has a few phases of harsher attitude (like her wrangling with Jill during the Jill/John custody fight). I rag on ED Ashley quite a bit but I did enjoy her more in that second 1984 episode. She was more balanced.

Katherine says Lauren is a young version of her. Another treat before the days of St. Kay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=97Ot2BftjPE Tyrone's first scene. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=432QvaDVOys
