Mr. Vixen

Those of you who knew me way back when know how much Jackie and the character of Bobbie mean to me. Growing up watching GH is what inspired me to become a writer, and so much if that was due to Jackie's brilliant work. Though the show tried its best to diminish and erase her, Jackie remained loyal to the institution that she helped to build. Seeing her on screen never failed to bring a smile to my face. I hope she knew what a force she was. I feel as if I've lost an old friend. I am heartbroken.

Does anyone know, at all, what Robin Christopher is up to these days? I know she's long since retired from acting, but it's as if she doesn't exist on the internet. No social media presence whatsoever, that I could find. Just curious if anyone knows anything about what she's up to. She is so talented - shame GH wasted her and that she walked away from acting.

First and foremost, helllloooooo to all of my old friends here! It's been a long time, but I am always around peripherally and still enjoy reading your posts! I haven't done much soap watching over the past few years, though I keep up minimally with GH and Y&R. However, in my personal life, I have been doing a lot of writing recently as I prepare to release my second book this fall (shameless plug -- sorry), and the "stories" have been on my mind. Ever since the news first broke about Kelly and Mark's potential "Pine Valley" reboot, the gears have been turning in my head regarding what other soaps this could be done for, and what other types of avenues there might to keep these shows and all of their history alive. As those of you who know me know, GH has always been my show. Coming up with a primetime spinoff was my goal, and it proved a little tricky due to the fact that GH is very much still running steady (though I use that term loosely). Thus, I thought I would create a thread where we can all brainstorm and propose our dream spinoff or revival for our favorite show. I know threads like this have been done before and no, I don't expect any of this to ever actually happen, but hey, times are tough - let's have some fun! I'll go first! --- "ELQ" (ABC or Disney+) Set in Manhattan, "ELQ" centers around the company's launch of a new cosmetics division, with their first collection ("Ageless") set to launch in the coming weeks. Serving as the face of the launch is none other than former Port Charles resident, famous model and humanitarian, Brenda Barrett. As it so happens, Brenda's (relatively) new husband, Sebastian Taylor, is the CEO of ELQ Cosmetics, a favor called in by the Quartermaine family after his career successes at a rival, established cosmetics brand. In preparation, ELQ throws a lavish and exclusive industry launch party for the premiere of "Ageless". All goes swimmingly, until Sebastian is found brutally murdered - right in the midst of Brenda's big introduction as the face of the brand. Chaos ensues in the following days, and Brenda quickly finds herself in the spotlight. Dark secrets of their relationship soon emerge, and before long Brenda finds herself as the primary suspect in Sebastian's murder. Meanwhile, Sebastian's death leaves the CEO position wide open. Isaiah Hollingsworth, the company's VP, and husband to established NYC doctor and Quartermaine heir Maya Ward-Hollingsworth, has his sites set on the position. He seems to be a lock for the role - that is until the black sheep of the family, Skye Chandler Quartermaine, swoops into town with a vengeance (and a new husband, Carlos Avery). Tracy Quartermaine is named interim-CEO, ultimately burdened with the responsibility of choosing a successor. Tracy quickly dismisses Skye due to their mutual dislike and distrust for each other. Skye, however, has teamed up with Tracy's power-hungry granddaughter, Brook Lynn Ashton, and together they hold a dark secret over Tracy's head. This creates immense tension between Brook Lynn and her mother, Lois Cerullo, who is in town to support her best friend Brenda. As a bloodthirsty battle for power over ELQ Cosmetics rages between Tracy, Skye, Brook Lynn and Isaiah, Brenda finds herself in need of legal counsel. Thankfully, she is able to call in the help of Maya's younger sister, Zoe Ward, who has become something of an infamous - and successful - criminal defense attorney. To make matters even more complicated, the case against Brenda is being led by investigator Gabriel Cruz who himself holds a mysterious connection to Port Charles and the Quartermaine family. Cast: Vanessa Marcil as Brenda Barrett Lana Parrilla as Skye Chandler-Quartermaine Annie Ilonzeh as Maya Ward-Hollingsworth Trai Byers as Isaiah Hollingsworth Amanda Setton as Brook Lynn Ashton Rena Sofer as Lois Cerullo Jaime Camil as Carlos Avery Conrad Ricamora as Gabriel Cruz Raven Goodwin as Zoe Ward Recurring Cast (GH Characters): Jane Elliott as Tracy Quartermaine Leslie Charleston as Monica Quartermaine Ingo Rademacher as Jasper Jax Lynn Herring as Lucy Coe --- Anyway, that's just my baseline idea. Let me know what you think, and I can't wait to read all of your ideas as well!

Very sorry to hear about Vicki. She is not just the original RHOC, but the ORIGINAL housewife! Sort of feel like she should always just be there. Haven't regularly watched OC in a while though, so maybe I'm wrong.

Good for her! She has established a very credible directing career for herself.

Yayay! I'm glad to hear that!! And thanks old pal!!!

HEY BABE! I did enjoy the reunion, though it was hard to watch at times. "WHERE IS YO SCOOTER?" will always be on my mind.

I am actually quite excited to see this. Thanks for posting, Vee! Hope you have been well.

Joan has been/is absolutely delightful on this season of AHS. Hope we see more of her.

First and foremost - Hi babes!! I have missed you all terribly. For the longest time, I couldn't remember my password or seem to get logged in. But I have been creeping and keeping up with your RH posts! You guys alwayyyys keep me laughing! RHOA: The trailer wasn't OMG but I'm gonna give it a chance. I haven't been an "every episode" viewer the past couple of seasons as life has gotten more and more crazy, but I did keep up with Season 10 and I'm excited for the show to get the reboot it has long needed. I know those of you who know me are going to be shocked, but...I'm kind of going to miss Kenya. I grew to like her a lot over the past couple of seasons. I'm willing to give it a shot and see what these new ladies bring to the table... RHOP: This Ashley/Michael stuff isn't surprising, but her response is shocking to me. Seems she's a bit delusional, lol. I'm interested to see how/if this plays out on the show...

I am looking forward to this. I watched the first episode of season 10, but Roseanne's deplorable antics ultimately made me decide not to stick with it. I'm excited that the rest of the cast is getting this shot, and I will definitely be supporting them! As for Roseanne's cause of death - I'm not mad! I expected she'd die during surgery but this death isn't out of left field. It will all boil down to how they approach it, IMO.

Wow is that song terrible. Sounds like a rip from Fergie's 2006 "The Dutchess". Can this girl just go away?

Hi dolls! Did ya miss me? That RHOC trailer is great! The intro was incredible - loved it! I'm gonna jump back in this season...been a while since I watching OC religiously.

Fix it, Jesus!

Sweetie, I left on my own! We'll see what y'all can offer me for next season.

I'm just a "friend of" this season.

Because we're supposed to be friends, heifer. *throws drink*

Thanks for the tag, BITCH!

This, right here, was a READ, hunni! Lmao!

Sorry, been out of town! The reunion looks amazing! I haven't seen all of this season - what lie did Phae tell that could have involved a criminal investigation? I think everyone looks amazing, especially Kenya, Porsha and Sheree. Phae's hair and makeup are good. cynthia looks tragic as always.

Damn, this is the first time Kenya is not next to Andy!

Hi, honey!

gotta side with Kandi on this one!!!

Yes hunni, the hatred is too real! Lmao

@Nothin'ButAttitude Hi babe!!! I've been lurking around, just not posting much! But I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Been a crazy, crazy year for me but i'm doing great and I miss you!! I haven't watched much at all this season I've only seen a few episodes, but from what I've seen and gathered from the internet, my girls Frick & Frack have been a bit disappointing. I still love them, but they're playing very messy this season and I have a feeling it might be tough for them come reunion time. That being said, we all know Phaedra can handle herself at a reunion, so I'm very excited to see. I'll definitely be watching the reunion.
