DRW50

Ooh that breaks my heart

I think her name was Hayley. She was an ingenue - her aunt Connie was in charge of her inheritance and James was sleeping with Connie so he could get what he wanted of it. She had a romance with Eric Hollister (Peter Reckell), kid brother of the sleazy, pornstached Brad Hollister, one of the most unlikely leading men ever on a soap. The Dobsons made them so wan that I don't think viewers ever gave a damn. I always want to see more of the Dobsons run, yet I also don't, because what I have seen is...not good, and is quite dull and jarring to ATWT's core identity. It plays like a 40-year old who suddenly starts dressing like an 18-year old to feel hip. I can see why viewers, and Helen Wagner, headed elsewhere (although it may have been P&G, not the Dobsons). I think Veleka claimed in an interview that Hastings got her fired.

They probably did him a favor...

I'm so dumb - I never knew that was the same actor.

Terrible news, more for those close to her than for a mere fan like me, but she was a superb actress. She made those little intros at the start of each episode that were apparently only put in for syndication seem so vivid, I can't imagine the show without them. I also remember her performance in FWWM - one scene, but a spellbinding one. The show must go on, as I'm sure she would have wanted, but it can never be the same.

Thanks. They didn't do too bad a job with the hair and makeup - she does look like Marilyn in many shots.

Is it me or is that some of the most vicious Photoshopping ever on Sheree and the new lady?

He's a handsome guy (dead eyes aside) but his line readings - I hope he improves, as he has potential. What do you think of the Lovedays?

Thanks for the caps! I'm surprised he played him at that age, but he does sort of pull it off. I've never heard of that version. Malcolm - so beautiful.

Kim's hair is frightening. It's all very Thunderdome.

Thanks. So this is the first since 2011?

Is this Lee Godart? They don't show any good closeups.

munecojim's been putting up more 1992 and 1994.
