If shows like DAYS and Y&R are upset about viewers uploading full episodes and clips online, then -- here's a thought -- why not make their archives available online for a fee? Just a thought!

True. Sadly. OTOH, primetime TV (and especially cable) seems to be more welcoming of those with "unconventional" looks. So, uh, if you're out there and reading, Andy? KEEP HOPE ALIVE.

For some reason, I always look at MEB as a less ingratiating version of JFP.

According to Linda Gibboney, then-EP Mary-Ellis Bunim fired her for what she (Bunim) considered unprofessional behavior. Either Gibboney was recovering from pneumonia or had recovered from it; however, she refused to wear a bathing suit that a particular scene called for even after Bunim came down on set and instructed her to.

He might have been asked, but I think Kavovit probably saw himself as someone who'd done daytime and moved on. You know, like Brian Bloom? Of course, I think both would have been better off coming back to soaps, but that's just my opinion.

I can't recall exactly. (Maybe someone has a scan of the interview in question?) But I believe it was along the lines of, "Well, I guess I COULD have stayed in California [instead of returning to NYC for GUIDING LIGHT] and went to B&B...". Again, I can't recall the quote, but the insinuation was that B&B was, by her estimation, an unchallenging show to work on.

Marcy Walker caught some flack, too, when she made a disparaging remark about B&B during an interview with Michael Logan for TV Guide. Walker denied making the comment, but Logan said he had it on tape.

I don't care what ANY one says, Andrew Kavovit was fantastic as Paul Ryan and I wish he were back on TV.

Wait -- Shabba-Doo abused "Sunshine" from "Harlem Nights"? Oh! Lawd! What in the hell is wrong with some of these folks?

Thanks, danfling! I always thought they re-casted with Michelle Phillips. I had no idea Sheila MacRae was on SEARCH.

You think he was tending to all those 13 children? Stop. Just stop. If say anything more about PMT, I'm liable to find his greasy ass and drag him out into the street by his chest hairs.

Unpopular Opinion Time: I think DYNASTY missed a GIANT opportunity to shake itself (and viewers) up when they didn't kill off Blake Carrington in the Moldavian Massacre.

I look at Tina Andrews and I can't help but remember when she appeared as J.J.'s pregnant gf on "Good Times."

He did WHAT??? Oh, HELL no! Somebody need to cut that s.o.b.!

IMO, that is indicative of DYNASTY's biggest overall flaw. They were so hung up on dramatic, jaw-dropping, story twists and turns, they often left character development and narrative logic by the old wayside.

Plus, Alexis never saw herself as "bad" anymore than J.R. Ewing (or Angela Channing, or Abby Ewing) did. She ALWAYS believed she was justified in what she did.

Thanks, DD! It's moments like THAT that make me love Marland's work all the more, lol!

They could spin it however they wished, but the truth is, Felicia was an amnesiac for the second time, and that tells me the writers were stumped as to what to do with her.

Eileen Davidson looks as if she is grabbing her crotch, or about to. Either way, it probably does little to discourage the notion that she had undergone gender-assignment surgery. (Or maybe the pose was her tongue-in-cheek of acknowledging the rumors? Who knows?) Wasn't Nicholas Walker on SB that last year as well? IIRC, he played the man who had molested B.J. as a little girl.

[!@#$%^&*].

That isn't saying much, IMO. I think Harrier and Edmonds ran neck-and-neck in terms of mediocrity. It's like Guza's GH vs. Carlivati's: both are bad, but each is bad for its own reasons.

I feel like that's b/c Marland fell for Martha Byrne the same way he did for Lisa Brown at GUIDING LIGHT. It seems as if Agnes Nixon and Bill Bell were the only two (aside from Irna) who could look to a certain character or actor as a "muse" w/o veering into "Mary Sue" territory. I mean, you could TELL how Bell in particular felt about Y&R's Victor, but he never pretended his motivations were pure and altruistic.

I don't THINK so, but I might be wrong. Does anyone with a better memory (or actual VHS tapes) know?

I hope she does a better job playing a girl in need of a face scrub than she did playing a baby momma and potential whore.
