Poor Amelia Heinle nobody likes her (me neither there's been a while since I stopped caring for Vicky) but I guess it's with the writers too she came into the role and Vicky stopped being a Thunderstorm to be a simple Rain, I like her with Billy but then it was long ago. By the way i think Lara Parker would have been a Nice Iris Wheeler, she could play menacing vulnerable and crazy very well, or Alice for a sweet change, and funny enough I think that Diana Millay MIGHT have been a good Sue Ellen Ewing, when Laura the Phoenix was introduced as an struggling ex alcoholic she was pretty believable in the role (but that doesn't mean I don't love Linda Gray in the role).

Happy I inspired someone, I guess David Selby's character in Falcon Crest was the JR kind, as Well as Adam in Dynasty I think I thought of someone else but can't recall right now

I guess you're right, funny, I think a Dark Shadows Reboot would work right now too, as long as they don't turn it into a Vampire diaries sort of show, I want they keeping the storytelling before Barnabas, Laura, the Widows ghosts then Barnie, would be nice

Hey that must've been fun, I've been long curious about Stella Dallas, The Romance of Helen Trent, Painted Dreams, etc, must have been a real piece of work keep the audiences just with sound

So I guess this topic is pretty useless?

Yeah I guess you're right I mean Erica was almost raped by the guy who raped Bianca, and later discovers that it was her low life of a father who offered her for sex with the guy who raped her but yes directly nothing REALLY BAD happened to her after the late 1990's not that it means she was less of a great anti heroine but while they character well written her storylines got more and more boring or foolish By the way I hated when they reversed her abortion was such a stupid idea Sounds nice but I never got to see this storyline eve if it sounded very interesting, by the way was around that time too that Tara Martin came back to town did she and Erica get any confrontations? Now let's see the Rivals, the original was Tara the goodye girl, Brooke was probably the most Famous, I know she catfighted with Ceara and Maria Santos too, who else?

Not ALL of them and there's always more by the way wasn't you who once mentioned Behind the Screen? Did it get a topic? Or Swans Crossing for that matter and etc

I get your point but that bubble popped a few times like in the early 2000's when Bianca Was Raped and got pregnant by this that affected Erica deeply as she herself experienced a similar situation as well as when she developed a drinking problem and needed an intervention

Many Soaps like Dynasty or Dallas ended in Cliffhangers here's a Topic to let the imagination run and give an idea how it should have ended

A Topic Dedicated to tribute the soaps that died way too young feel free to express your opinions. EXAMPLES: The Survivors (1969) Bright Promise (1969-72) The Best of Everything (1970) Return to Peyton Place (1972-74) How To Survive a Marriage (1974) Executive Suite (1976) Behind The Screen (1981) King's Crossing (1982) Bare Essence (1982) The Yellow Rose (1983) Paper Dolls (1984) Berrenger's (1985) Models Inc. (1994) The Monroes (1995) ETC....

What about it, a fabulous Writer and a Character who she planned for so long she couldn't help trying to make her Perfect and it was Erica Kane played by Susan Lucci for an outstanding 41 year tenure, and wrote by the Brilliant Agnes Nixon, so Calling out all fans let's discuss her I'm myself too young to have caught most of the years of AMC but YouTube is a blessing for such matters, Let's discuss her, Her Clones by Nixon and of Course her rivals

Most ones I mentioned are the cast choices considered before Joan got the role the only ones who were my idea were Lana and Dorothy By the way it's funny you mentioned Siân Phillips, if I'm not mistaken it was her portrayal of bitchy badass Matriarch Livia in I, Claudius (1976) that helped inspire Alexis

I would have liked that Lara Parker got Any Important role in a Soap after DS ended it's a shame she didn't get nothing but guest roles in series after that she got so much to offer I remember watching her in an episode of Police Woman and Loving it

I think is time to check my eyes😅😓 sorry folks, glad they didn't do it with Carla in OLTL but writing her out wasn't much better either from what I saw I loved the character and the actress had such an elegant vibe, was nice Agnes wrote a Black character ,played by just the right actress, who wasn't a simple wrong talking maid she was a woman who could belong in any high social circle

Yeah me too I loved them in their original roles anyway I think Nicollette is a bit old to play Abby if they restarted the story

Talking about abby if they remade the story do you think Nicollette could pull Abby off? I laughed at the thought as she would finally be Like Abby

The First Mary Jane "MJ" Match was played first by black (I think) actress Lauren White during this period her character married Armand Assante's Character then she was recast by soap veteran Katherine Glass who was a white brunette, then Glass Left and was recast by Amy Ingersoll who I believe is a white Blonde

Yeah funny he came back 2 vickis later

I know right, a few of the original cast to set it off and please a few storylines for them of course plus a bunch of new characters moving to Knots

The possible Faces Alexis could have included the ones from: Raquel Welch, Jessica Walter, Sophia Loren (I Want to thank Sophia Loren for turning down the part😂), Elizabeth Taylor and anyone else, I admit I would have liked an older actress in the Role like Lana Turner (She and Forsyte worked together well in Madame X that movie could also be used for flashbacks) or Dorothy Malone (Her oscar came from a performance that included a Trial scene like the Alexis Introduction) by the way in the reboot did any prefer someone else to play Alexis? Over Nicollette or Elaine like Heather Locklear, Catherine Oxeberg or Pam Sue Martin?

Is it a taboo no one wants to discuss?????

Just remembered What About Lisa from ATWT?? She was a great bitch for years

What about Absurd in The Doctors the character MJ began being portrayed by a Black Actress then was recast by 2 white other ones

Wow thanks that's more than expected

Is it me or no one likes the actress playing Victoria on YR?? So many suggestions for a recast LOL Really I thought he was about the same age as Jacquie
