There was a rumor that they were going to bring Parker on but dumb as hell way, a rough woman, having gotten her heart she has plastic surgery to look like Mo..(EB switched that to Jessie) I still think that Selena should have been the lost Reardon sister, played by Parker (hey we had a clone) a rough woman who was in jail and meets up wtih Abby. I think Parker woudl have loved playing that.

Yea, I think Mo "owned" but the writers didnt give it much thought. Hawk talked Kurt into a job and then managed it, (there is a scene at Company where Mo is bemoaning the BH loosing money as Bea insists on making big breakfasts for the boarders, but at least Company is making money)and then with Johnny's parents. And yes Ed, give Bridget Company after the custody battle to show that he trusts her. Later Buzz bought it with a lottery money win, and was going to rename it "Talulla's"after Jenna, but luckily didnt. You woudl think they woudl have given Mo more to do by running Company instead of sitting around and waiting for Ed to to be sour.

Yes...it so nice to see people talking to each other and not the stylized dramatic convos of the Rauch era. Mindy and Beth in "normal" clothes to have coffee with your friend. Only Van could agree with you, while belittling you "Yes, I am sure that is right" Dylans a piece of ass and has great chemistry with Little Bill..though I can't believe this mellow guy is Billy and Revas kid. Who the hell owns runs Company at this point, I seems like people just walk behind the bar and starts serving.

There were multiple times he said things like that to Carmen. I think it was Ben's way of letting her know she doesn't intimidate him, and I think it was Block's winking at the audience about what a cartoon she was. SS always rolled with it, which is why I wish she had better material.

Rauch should have kissed MH's ass to get him back on GL when he first took over. It was not going to happen but imagine RealEd/Holly dealing with Roger's ALS? Flashbacks, etc....(Fletch can go take a hike...) Should have been end game Patriarch/Matriarch. Agree on Quala...Quint should have died and left Nola to put her life back together. Henry and Bea..I am amazed to find out Lee Lawson was in her 40s at this time...and really, we all knew Henry was gay. I thought DAM was sex on a stick..but his cartoonish writing killed it. If Cassie and Eddie had a sick relationship and it was show as dysfunctional...hell yes. LW always had a hard trashy edge to her...and there is no way that Cassie's past and he rpoor choices were all someone else's fault...she had to have some kind of thing that would openr her to a dysfunctional relatisonhip.

Didnt Rauch want the actor from OLTL, but they were not paying ABC salaries so he said no...so Brown was cast and they had to rush on it. Too bad..as I said, I would have been cheering Blake on to "jump the hell on that!"

Hold on here...I had a crush on PB since he was the big brother on the Doris Day show...I had no idea at 4 years old WHY I wanted him to be my big brother, but apparently I had good taste cause look what he grew into! Wasnt he supposed to be Ben on GL? Now THAT I could see Blake dropping Ross for!

Ha...glad to see someone else who loves Post Resurrection Reva as much as I do! It's "Murder on the Orient Express" as EVERYONE did. "Murder in Company's Parking Lot" where you see a car running Reva down, and then everyone gets behind the wheel to do a run over of Reva! I would have just had Zombie Cleva do it..that was the inevitable end of GL/Reva's dumb storylines..and very apropos that Reva its herself just like she did the show.

Why TPTB did not tell Zimmer to stay in her lane and get ready to have a bit less airtime is anyone's guess. Kimmer had her dollies on the string like her crazy fan base who would write in any time Kimmer told them to and she also had friends in the soap press, which may have been because Zimmer gave them the poop on the other actors behind their backs. But it still is weird, she was well past the point that everyman in town would fall in love with her, and her storylines are always about situations and not about Reva. This would have been the perfect time to give Reva the menopause or cancer storyline to bring Reva down totearth, and I think Kimmer would be great at it and happy to act a storyline ABOUT Reva and not a silly situation.

I didnt think DH was so bad..it was just...an odd choice to play Roger's son. He came off very smarmy...I swear, he had a scene where he and Jarsh were talking about teaming up to take on Spaulding, and he was visibly flirting with him (that is all we needed, a rejected male lover of Josh going crazy when he want back to Reva...) I thought that having some characters floating around made it seem like a real town, but they could easily been recurring...Rick, Frank, Buzz, that D.A. none of them needed contracts but they made the town seem bigger having characters like that around once in a while.

I think the JC time was that Rauch met her...and talked her into it to go out in a big bang (he was heading for retirement...) The push was to get GL to be "GL again" (i.e. island gone, stepping back from the mob) so it made sense to bring in this star to play a iconic character, but I don't think they thought it out more then that. I think once the ratings didnt' pop and once Rauch left (he knew how to handle a dive like JC) both sides were like, okay were out. And then we were subjected to the return of Marj and CRAZY ass writing which ruined Alex. The only storyline they had was that Gus was going to be Rita's son...which they changed to that weird nun thing with Conwest
