I agree.

I think the detail that angers me most - aside from her decision to get behind the wheel while intoxicated in the first place - is how she allegedly struck the firefighter who was assessing her wounds and yelling about her "$400 [!@#$%^&*] shirt." I get how alcohol can cloud one's thinking in these situations, but I think you've got bigger problems in that moment than whether a first responder is ruining your expensive shirt. Furthermore, what the hell are you doing spending FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS on a shirt anyway? Just because you're an actor on a long-running soap opera, that doesn't mean you should spend that kind of money on an item of clothing. Actors always want everyone else to think they're Just Plain Folks, but even Theo Huxtable would think paying that much for a shirt is outrageous, and we all know how much the boy wanted to spend on that Gordon Gartrelle!

Who's shaming her, lol?

I agree. KL was willing to evolve; DALLAS wasn't. And even when DALLAS was forced to evolve, like when Patrick Duffy left, egos forced the show back into its' old, tired ways. Instead of doing a revival or continuation series, WB should have done a reboot, one that was more complex and more in keeping with David Jacobs' original conception. Larry Hagman was iconic as J.R. Ewing, but so was Joan Collins as Alexis, and that didn't stop the Shapiros from recasting her (three times!) on the DYNASTY reboot.

But does it offer the Grilled Cheese Burrito?

I agree. If only David Jacobs had been allowed to retain his original vision for the show. If Tennessee Williams had done that to every original work that was influenced by his even a little bit, nothing in this country would have been written or produced after 1960, lol.

Actually, @Soapsuds, I think William Devane's performances as Greg Sumner helped me get through several of the later seasons. I never get tired of watching how he approaches dialogue. He has this ability to say the most normal things in the most abnormal but surprising ways.

I don't think Pamela Sue Martin made a mistake by leaving either. Fallon was so watered down by the time she left. She became almost insufferable to me.

I remember some magazine giving Jeff Beldner credit - along with Hal Corley, Frederick Johnson and Michelle Patrick - for a couple of the better '90's stories on AMC.

I have to give Al Corley credit for possessing that much bravery. Even today, many actors are afraid of "playing gay" out of fear of what that could do to their careers. God knows Jack Coleman never appeared comfortable with it, lol.

I think you have to credit Frank Salisbury for making Mason the interesting character that he was. IMO, Salisbury's work on other soaps could approach poetry, and poetry was right up Mason Capwell's alley.

I agree, @j swift. I consider Henry Slesar's work on CAPITOL to be its' best, with Peggy O'Shea's work a close second.

He reminds me of Dominick Dunne.

I had enough of "Crazy Sharon" to last me a lifetime, lol.

I agree.

That makes sense, @Soaplovers. I think the producers should have addressed that issue, too. Val had been through every parent's worst nightmare. Getting the twins back seemed to put a nice bow on everything, but it really shouldn't have. We should've seen Val struggling even after getting Betsy and Bobby back. Val should've been paranoid about losing them again to the point where she refuses to leave the house without them or have them sleep in another bedroom. And Ben should've been beside himself (again) over how to handle the situation. Of course, being the cruel bastard that I am, I would've had Ben convince Val to leave the twins at home with Lilimae or one of Karen's sons for an evening out with Mack and Karen, only to have Ben and Val return home that night to discover that the twins have been abducted yet again.

I agree!

Douglas Sheehan was great with Joan Van Ark, but Val could be so damn exhausting, lol. JVA blamed the Lechowicks for turning Val into the "village idiot," but I think the character assassination, for lack of a better term, had happened long before.

I agree, lol. I'm not suggesting that NLG isn't entitled to her opinions. However, if we have learned anything about social media, it's that anything someone puts out there can and will be misconstrued by the general public. That's true, not just for celebrities, but for "everyday folks," too.

He'll be back.

I agree. I've been a fan of NLG's since SANTA BARBARA. I'll always BE a fan of NLG's, too, no matter what. But she should've tweeted "thoughts and prayers" for everyone involved in the accident and then left it at that.

Well, we know this much:

Contestant: "Dukes of Hazzard"?

Me, too. This is not something GH can just sweep under the proverbial rug.
