KMan101

Taylor Anne Mountz was Kay #1, Gina Marie May was tempKay, Deanna Wright was the best Kay and Heidi Mueller was dull as dishwater Kay though not horrible. Just Kay was so blah later on. I dont remember a fourth at all.

I'm thrilled to see the addition of the show. I might have to try and watch it. I've always wanted to get into it. Now might be the time. It's just much easier to access this way instead of hunting down torrents, or youtube or etc. I wish they'd add EastEnders too.

Is Brent Weber up to anything lately? Lol

I've loved Abi since she's come back. She's a very rootable young heroine and it's so rare to see that!

Damn. Season 7 could have been totally revitalized if Syd were brought back then. It's too bad the cast at the time were so snobby about the show after they left. Now I'd bet they'd all come back. I mean half of them appeared in the totally wasted reboot. And could you imagine seeing Kimberly alive at the end? Damn. Would have been amazing.

LOL. "That Kit Fisher Person" Yeah, I wasn't a fan of what little I had seen of her. Edmund's destruction sucked. I really hadn't minded Megan's return up until then and then it really did all go to hell. Such a shame. The show had a lot of things in place at the time and could have really been revitalized.

Exactly. It was a good interview with him. And his comments about handling returning characters was spot on and that is why so many of the returns failed. Ultimately. We may have liked those characters being back but you cant bring someone back after 15 years and just expect instant success. I mean they do initially a good job but its the followup that fails.

LOL. It's just sad how much of it even resembles today considering it was 23 years ago. And I mean sad in that so many things he's saying you shouldn't do are absolutely being done now.

I want Gary Tomlin to read that first answer from Al Rabin.

Thank you Carl! I can always count on you! I didn't even connect Lyla as LYLA, lol. I was like who the hell is Lila when it was Lyla. LOL Oh well. Wow, I've always heard good things about the Douglas storyline but man your summary makes it sound so.damn.good. I'd love to see the whole storyline play out.

Watched November 1st, 1985 on YouTube just recently. All new to me. I do 'know' the history but some questions ... What was up with Marie? What an ... interesting? character? Douglas/Marcia ... what was that about? Craig and Sierra were great. As were Lily (I assume it was Heather Rattray? I liked her a lot) and Dusty. Of course FRANNIE and Steven Weber's Kevin. I also liked Heather a lot in the little bit they used her in the episode. Who was that blonde guy with her? Jay/Jake? I couldn't ever catch the name right and don't recognize his face. JOHN! Great as always. Who was that woman Lila(?) he was with? And Lisa! It's strange to actually see her be written for! LOL. Who was the woman in the black dress and hair at the party? DUe to the quality I can't really recognize her. I think the guy in the jersey who I also can't recognize looks like (probably is?) Mark Pinter? http://youtu.be/BxXviEjIQnk

That sucks. Why'd she quit?

Grace was so annoying. I did feel kind of robbed in the beginning when Faith was killed by Tabitha. I did want them to meet. The anticipation and build-up was great. I miss that Reilly. The painfully slow, methodical storytelling where EVERY detail is exhausted before you get a fantastic payoff. I liked Charity somewhat but I was always Team Kay. I also feel like the constant recasting of core characters with hair models did the show NO favor in the end, poor writing or not. I lost a lot of interest in Ethan, Chad, Miguel with their constant recasts and re-writing. I thought Martsolf was overrated as Ethan. I think he's much better as Brady on DAYS. I feel like the men were almost always an afterthought to Reilly, except for the chosen few (Luis, Julian), which is why we got such shitty recasts.

I've read some of your fan fiction and have quite enjoyed it. I hope you keep it up! I have to re-read and catch up.

I was in September, lol. I haven't watched in a little while. I've just been super busy. I might marathon some this weekend.

I still can't believe they never even watched the original. That was sure evident

She looks AMAZING. Damn. Good for her. Wow.

To add fuel to the reboot rumors ... Joan Collins talked to TV Guide about her guest spot on Fran Drescher's TV Land sitcom 'Happily Divorced' and she mentioned she has spoken to Pamela Sue Martin, Jack Coleman and John James about a Dynasty reboot and they would all do it. REAL Fallon! Some network needs to get ON THIS! Exact quote:

So Prospect Park ignored Mark LaMura? That sucks. He's right. Daytime is treated like a dinosaur. It's been long allowed to go extinct. It has so much potential. I'd like to hear his ideas. He seems very smart.

Lol. Taylor was nuts. Lisa Rinna did a great job, I just think they rushed through Taylor's storylines. However, thank god for Jaime Luner.

I agree. I always quite enjoyed his performances. AMC had such unique vets.

Just started watching. I picked the week of Angel's arrival, like Bright Eyes, so yeah, I'm two months behind but I'll catch up. I like to give myself room, so to speak, between past and more current episodes. Anyway, reading this thread helped me better understand what's going on but it seems easy enough to get into. I already like the Bree/Brooke/Annette storyline. I like Chris, would have liked to have seen his story that lead him to this point. I guess I can. He's the only original cast member who's stuck around, right? Is who he with Rachel, right? Reddish/brown hair? I like her too. They both seem interesting. I like the show so far. It being a half hour (well 20-22 minutes) is great. How is the pacing on the show? I feel like the soaps abroad always use more characters in episodes and the overall 'flow' is better, not so disjointed and some actual thought and length are put in some scenes (well, I haven't noticed too many long scenes in Shortland Street but it's a half hour, I kinda expect it)

It was more Josie.

It was just part 2 of the interview with the cast. Some was already said, but still a little different. Josie/Laura highlighted as were Sydney/Jane. Josie's favorite was burying Richard alive. They again played Locklear's talking about the lines she had to say and Courtney again about playing blind Alison and how drunk Alison was fun to play. I have to admit, I kinda loved drunk Alison. I liked that it was a real alcoholic storyline and not just rushed and wrapped up in a couple of episodes. It lasted a while. Doug Savant talked about how honored he was to play Matt, although he gets confused and calls Matt Tom which the cast points out. They all seem to get along really well.

It was good to see them all together. I still can't believe how awesome they all look. And to be fair, they've all pretty much had success or worked steadily since. Savant and Cross for nearly a decade on Desperate Housewives, Locklear's had pilots and guest stints and was a regular on Spin City, Leighton was/is on Pretty Little Liars and was working pretty steadily afterwards, lots of pilots and guest gigs. I take it she and Savant are still married? Grant Show's done a lot just hasn't really had much luck lol. I wonder if he would have come back? Thankfully Andrew Shue has faded from the spotlight. And not to mention Courtney Thorne Smith. Girl was never a great actress but man she's worked a LOT. Good for her. Ally McBeal, According to Jim, Two and a Half Men ... not shabby. And none of them seemed to look down on the show which I truly appreciate, even after the shitty reboot. It was just good, fun entertainment. It was never meant to be Shakespeare and I think they mastered what they did very well. I'm still amazed and thrilled at how much Beverly Hills 90210 and MP soared when I don't see anything like that happening today. Wasn't it rumored at the time that the original plan was to have Jake and Amanda, not Michael and Sydney? Or did most just assume Jake because of the 'David' in the cast. I'm still annoyed they gave Michael a son with the same name as Jake's should be same age grown son. Heather Locklear is supposed to be on Good Morning America again this morning, just a heads up. No idea what it's about.
