Didn't PFS accuse DAYS of using her long-term story projections even after she had left the show?

I was telling a coworker about this show after she had binge-watched "Columbo" for the first time and she was apoplectic, lol. First of all, it made no sense for Mrs. Columbo, who had been an off-screen character up to that point, to suddenly be solving whodunits like her husband, when nothing that Columbo ever said about her suggested she was the sleuthing type. Second, Kate Mulgrew is a lovely actress, but she simply looked too young to be Columbo's wife. Daughter, or daughter-in-law? Maybe. Wife? No.

Yeah, he's definitely new to the game, lol.

No, I remember Sam Behrens as Gregory on SUNSET BEACH. But I think (although I can't be sure) that Douglas Sheehan did a one-or-two-day role on PASSIONS.

There are so many things I would have done differently had I been Leonard Katzman. Bobby would have been killed off at the end of the miniseries. Pamela would have taken a firmer hand in fighting J.R. John Ross would have been born female. Vanessa would have been Black (and James would have been half-Black). J.R. would have shot himself (but framed Pamela for it). The list goes on.

Didn't he pop up briefly on PASSIONS?

I thought Doug Sheehan had such an easy chemistry with the rest of the cast. It was really a shame that they couldn't have held onto him.

What can I say? The lush wasn't wrong, lol.

I didn't hate Ben, but I did think he deserved better than to be Val's perennial second choice. And the less I say about his ridiculous exit story with the horrible Jean Hackney, the better.

J.R. true love was never a woman, but Ewing Oil.

I'm good with him sticking with GH, even on a recurring/off-contract basis, but if DAYS ever offered him a contract, then I hope it wouldn't be to play a Roman recast.

I was JUST going to say the same thing, @BrendaB, lol! I'd bring back Serena, even if Carly Schroeder is out of the business now, and I'd have her follow in Lee and Scotty's footsteps by becoming an attorney. She and Scotty could even start a father-and-daughter law firm! Of course, I'd also figure out a way to expose Cody as a fraud (the real Cody is either dead or in hiding) and a DVX agent in disguise. I'd just as soon pretend that THE CITY was all part of someone's feverish imagination.

I agree.

Actually, @Soapsuds, I would've just had Pamela die from the car crash. It would've happened off-screen, of course, since Victoria Principal probably wouldn't have returned even for one or two scenes. But the next season could've picked up from Pamela's funeral. And believe it or not, @Soapsuds, I would've kept Bobby single for the rest of the series (and for the revival series, too). Bobby loved Pamela too much, IMO, even to entertain the thought of remarrying after her departure. Instead, Bobby would've just poured all his energies into raising Christopher as normally as possible while still living with the rest of the family. (He might even have reached the point where he gets sick of fighting with J.R. all the time at Ewing Oil and decides to run Southfork instead.) Women would try and snare him, of course, because of who he was, but Bobby would've been still too much in love with Pamela to walk down the aisle again.

No, Pamela's exit sucked. Sue Ellen's exit just didn't make sense.

I agree that it would have been a satisfying exit for Sue Ellen, but Leonard Katzman probably wanted her departure to be more dramatic; and since Linda Gray wasn't about to let Sue Ellen go out the way he likely preferred - falling-down drunk, or languishing in some mental hospital, screaming for Dusty - this had to do.

I don't think Lauralee Bell was ever a BAD actor. She's no Beverlee McKinsey, but she's alright. It's just that Cricket/Christine was SO pure, with SO many singing her praises, that it seemed like Bill Bell was allowing his feelings toward his daughter to cloud his judgment and story sense.

It won't last. Colton is still new to the game (so to speak). He's marrying the first, real, same-sex partner he's had, because his traditional upbringing still influences him.

To be honest, I was never terribly impressed with KNOTS' sets, although I think they did a pretty good job with designing the Fairgate/McKenzie living room.

Not unless you are the office gossip!

I really don't want to criticize Josh Griffith, or tell him (or any HW) how to do his job anymore, because I've realized how difficult it is for these people to satisfy the "suits" and still keep the audiences tuning in. HOWEVER, if this is Griffith's way of fixing a storyline that isn't working AS it's still airing, as I suspect it is, then he's chosen a rather inelegant way of doing it.

I agree.

I thought Ron Carlivati wasn't writing this show anymore.

Overall, I loved Val, and I get why she would be so protective of Betsy and Bobby, but if I had to listen to her go on and on about having to think of them before anything else one more time...!

Nah, that would make too much sense, lol. I agree! If he turned out to be Bo's kid, I would want to see Bo struggle between building a relationship with his son and taking him down; and I would want to see Hope accuse Megan of using Dimitri to cause trouble for her and Bo, too.
