I hated that Malone killed her off, even though I didnt care for the recast. He only did that bc he waanted to pair up his new creation, Nora, with Bo. I hate when agendas get in the way like that and unfortuantely Sarah paid the price. You are right in that she was a good heroine type. She was definetly my favorite of Bo's many pairings.

OC doesnt do nice anymore. You have to be a nasty bitch in order to be considered

Actually I beleive he was shown as a creep from the very beginning. Here's part of his bio from Soapcentral

It says alot about these women bc they are by far the most memorable from the 80s. Id even put Sarah in there. There were so many young women introduced in the mid to late 80s that when I see the old opening I have a hard time figuring out who they were. Mary Lynn, the O'Neill sisters, etc... Gabrielle, Tina, Meagan, and Sarah came on the scene and stole it away. The young women of this generation pale in comparison to them. Natalie, Jessica, Gigi, Aubrey dont even come close. Its too bad they went so far with him in the end. He was a very good looking and charming villian. He could have lasted for years to come as he had an appeal which was very likeable despite his horrible actions.

Thanks for those clips. Gabrielle was such a dynamic character and she and Max were a great couple. Its criminal to think how the show wasted them when they finally got her to return

why would Gabrielle care what would happen to Michael though? I cant recall but what was her connection to him? Were they friends? I did enjoy Gabrielle's fight with Brenda that occurred in that story. Brenda nearly fell out the window...lol and here's the promo for the story

theres a good chunk of it on YT. I liked it. It was good for many of the more popular couples at that time. Jake/Meagan, Cord/Tina, Bo/Sarah. It seemed very much like a Days plot as that show also loved to throw their couples on adventures around that time period Reading up on old storylines, do you know why Gabrielle switched Brenda's baby with Michael Grande's? What investment didnt she have here? I read that the story was panned bc it was a rehash of what Karen did nearly a decade earlier with Jenny Wolek and Katrina but it wasnt executed nearly as good

she was involved in the Badderly Island story. I beleive she was a native who ended up helping the gang

HUGE Tina fan here (favorite character in all of daytime history) and I loved it. I loved the nod to history. I looked at the Mendorra stuff for what it was; a throwback to history for the show's anniversary celebration. The Mendorra stuff, Waterfall, relationship with Cord and Cain were all classic moments in OLTL's vault. I thought RC did a good job with them. It was very Tina and it was fun. I think overall her return wasnt well received bc she didnt get to interact with the vets that she had worked with before. Almost as soon as Tina came back to town, Viki left. It took her months before she spoke to Bo or any of the other Buchanans. I dont think she ever interacted with Dorian and definetly not Blair (AE never worked with her but she was a rival for the later Tinas). She didnt interact with her brother Todd till the very end either. She spent most of her time babysitting Viki's kids, Natalie and Jessica and the writers used Tess to troll and blackmail her. Tina barely even got to get out of the house as most of her scenes were spent in Llanfair, further isolating her. She was extremely wasted. People wanted to see her with the characters I mentioned, not Tess, Natalie and Jared, 3 characters she didnt even know.

Her hair was awful. Physically I just didnt think she had the right look for Tina as she didnt exude the sexual appeal that was characteristic of the femme fatale that AE so famously played. When AE came back, she played Tina completely different from how KM was. The writing was also different. Tina as up and coming business woman working for Buchanan? That was KM's Tina. Greedy social climbing gold digger was what they morphed her into when AE took over and that was for the better. KM just wasnt nearly as exciting or entertaiining in the role as AE was when she came back

I thoguht KW did a great job at playing a more mature Tina. No one can top AE. Her Tina was more of a gold digger and social climber and she was over the top and loved money and the lavish lifestyle that came with it. She was a fighter and worked hard to get all that and maintain it. By the time KW came aboard, that part of Tina funamentally had changed bc she was well accepted into the Lord/Buchanan clan and didnt need to fight for money or her status. Her motivations had changed and that was the point where they did need to have her grow up a bit and KW did a fine job with that. When she first joined her Tina was more bitchy and selfish but without the comedic flair that AE had. She eventually mellowed out once she got Cord and while I didnt like her with Cain, she had gotten very comfortable in the role by this point and the writers played up her strengths and didnt merely try to write her as they would AE. I didnt mind KT as much as many did during her original run but thanks to YT and the ability to see and compare all actresses and what was done with them, she was by far the weakest of these 3 main Tinas. She was the ditzy Tina and she was written quite stupid and easily manipulated at times. She would fall for antics that she herself should have been smarter about. Putting her with David was almost like exagerating what a joke she was by this point. Plus I hated her hair. Heres a clip of Jean dissecting her and speaking of Tina, here's a rare clip of Kelli Marony as Tina. She was awful. Thank god they got AE back in 1985 instead of sticking with any one of the string of bad recasts

Tina vs Gabrielle. When AE was in the role, the two were best friends, but when KW took over the show made them enemies. Did they ever patch up their differences before Gabrielle left the show? I didnt realize that Gabrielle tried to make a move on Cord. That was quite backstabbing of her. Team Tina here Watching her early scenes, KW's Tina was also alot bitchier in the beginning as she became more of a heroine into her run

I gotta agree. Those posts are getting pretty hard to read

Here's some couples

I hate that they later paired her up with a riff raff named David. Watching that clip and hearing her call David R by his name, I kept getting bad memories of the current David in her life.

I didnt even realize there was an Africa channel

I also didnt like Tamra having the nerve to get mad at Fernanda for revealing their kiss to another person. Um hello you are on a reality show! Tamra herself has talked about the kiss on camera. Its not like she was keeping this thing a secret Another housewife set to divorce. Can you guess who before clicking the link? http://www.dlisted.com/2011/05/11/another-real-housewives-marriage-eats-dust

I hated how Tamra tried to paint Fernanda out to be some psycho lesbian. Honestly her personality this season is horrible and her attitude flat out stinks. Overall these women are WAY too bitchy and catty for me. Its not entertaining to watch them all be so ugly and nasty. None of them even seem happy with themselves and their lives.

I wouldnt be surprised if Barbara's scared ass decides not to show up tomorrow

LMAO! Maria was a mess!

Yep. It was retconned during the 2005 Tess story that when Jessica went crazy and started gaslighting Dorian following her baby's death, that it was Tess that was doing all that stuff. She took credit for it

Here's some more photos First apppearance of Tess! Although we didnt learn this till years later

Remember when all of Viki's kids in town were blonde?

How the heck do you sticl that many video clips in one post? Whenever I try for more than 2, the board wont let me

Beverly Hills New housewife has been cast and its Brandi Glanville, Eddie Cibrian's ex wife. I like the idea of her joining but 7 is way too many for a series. Theys hould have dropped Kim Richards http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b240313_meet_newest_housewife_of_beverly_hills.html New York OMG, Sonya is getting awful. What a pretentious bitch! Pecking order with Ramona as queen? With that said, I still like Sonya. Im so glad she actually contributes to the show and stirring things up Jill was angry about Bethenny not wanting to make up with her? Um wrong, that was the other way around. Also I had no idea she had a 2 year old grandchild. Her daughter is a teen mom? That never came up on the show
