Thank you!  And wouldn't you know, on the very same day I made that comment, guess who's playing husband and wife on a "Murder, She Wrote" rerun?  Yep, Dean Butler and Genie Francis.  (I totally forgot about that episode, lol.)

Maybe it was a sign.....

Nowadays, though, I just would like to see Laura paired with someone who's stable (so she can have the family and roots that she's always craved) and can make her laugh and support her whenever she encounters yet another crisis among her family, but someone who isn't dull the way Kevin tends to be whenever he isn't with Lucy.  Someone like...well, remember the guy who played Almanzo Wilder on "Little House on the Prairie"?  His name's escaping me at the moment, and I'm not saying I'd want him specifically, but that's the kind who I'm talking about.  (I also thought she'd have made a good on-screen partner with Billy Moses, but that would've meant pairing Jeff and Laura and I just don't wanna go there under any circumstances, lol).

 

Dean Butler

That's so sad to hear.

^^ Dang, so many things that have plagued IW over the years!

On an up note, honey for everyone, I guess?

I just love her.

The dialogue is out of control bad... there was this moment where RJ was telling Luna something like - Thank you for being such a truthful and honest person. I mean... who says this to someone else? It's so obvious to make us say... AHA! But she isn't! So one-dimensional. A guy with RJ's body and age... will not be talking to Luna like he is a 65 year old man. He will be doing other things... 

It's so UNNATURAL and out of touch with the reality how YOUNGER PEOPLE talk and communicate.

WE NEED A NEW HEAD WRITER ASAP.

 

To be fair to Brad Bell this is not just a B&B problem. Soaps are rarely very subtle in their dialogue. They don't use foreshadowing, they use a huge mallet to hammer home whatever point they're trying to make.

I'm amazed that this actually made the news here. This is from one of the largest newspapers here.

That's a shock! When General Hospital aired here for a while in the early 1990s with episodes from around 1986-1989 Terry was a major presence. Apart from that I think I've only seen her in an episode of MacGyver or Renegade or something similar.

RIP Michael Culver. Not surprised they got his Emmerdale stint wrong, but I am pleasantly surprised they mentioned it at all.

That is surprising, since his role was very small. Just one episode.
