Tyler Perry's 'Haves and Have Nots' on OWN
I know!! He's barely aged at all!! I'd forgotten how extensive his career was too.

Yeah, ATWT alum Peter Parros. Loved me some Dr. Bod Ben.

ugh.... Tom Degnan had a bit part on The Following Monday. Dayum, but I was waiting for him to shoot Annie Parisse.

^^^at least he's consistent. Napiera Groves (ex-Bonnie McKechnie, ATWT) was on Elementary last night as Hooker#1.

Well, she's a giant vortex of suck on primetime too. Some actors (like Shawn Christian) never change.

I think the official list of those who hate Parisse is me and Carl. I know I just bitched about her in another thread not too long ago. It's mostly my leftover Carjack-iness...but damn, she threw a wet blanket on Person of Interest for me in a recurring role, and somehow she's walked into a featured role on The Following. I never thought I'd have to hope for someone to get their eyes plucked out. Acting-wise---I just think she's awful. Although she makes a credible amoral psychopathic CIA assassin on POI.

Saw Robert Bogue in a cheesy commercial. Can't remember what it was for. Recognized him by his bad, bowl-like haircut. Annie fuggin' Parisse in The Following. It's almost a deal-breaker for me.

I don't think they aired episodes either. At some point cable took over airing the college games---but that certainly wasn't until the '90's or later. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's were always short weeks---that's one of the reasons "New Year's Eve" baby Parker wasn't born on air until the 6th of January. The US Open cut into the weeks around Labor Day, and I think I remember Memorial Day being preempted for racing too for some years.

It looks like Ewa de Cruz is in it too. Now that I know Robert Vaughn is still alive, I can go back to hoping he appears on NCIS for a Man from UNCLE reunion.

Yes. He also appeared in 1987 during the "Lily runs away" to Colorado or Arizona or wherethefuckever with Dusty after she learned the truth about her parentage. He played the owner (Logan) of the cafe where Lily waitressed. His wife Grace was played by Kelly Bishop. He also wrote for the show and his wife was long time music coordinator Jill Diamond.

^^^^back when "character development" consisted of more than a three-line exposition the day they showed up in town. Rosanna's finding out about Carly (or about to) eight months before Carly shows up on her doorstep. Yowza---I'd forgotten how sexual Lucinda's wardrobe could be. I remember a lot of suits. A LOT of them. ATWT was pretty blessed with "older" actresses who aged well. Marie Masters, KH, CZ, even EF...and La Liz.

I'm going back to Kavovit (and skipping John Howard's modelPaul alltogether). I don't get Holmes either. Had he been hired in the mb/twitter era, I don't think he would have lasted a year. I've always looked at his casting as TIIC casting a short term actor and then forgetting they intended to replace him. I think Tom suffered as a character with Holmes' stuffy and priggish portrayal.

Actually, on the whole, I think Meg's a more dynamic character than Ellie. Of course Passnante and Goutman gutted the character, but since I assume they really didn't have a written-in-stone outline of what they wanted to do with her---it made more sense to bring back the used-to-be-a-bitch Meg than the quirky-and slightly slutty Ellie.

Passanante wasn't with the show in '97---neither was Goutman. That had to be Broderick. Ellie does seem to be an odd choice to think about recasting at the time. The Snyder family consisted of Holden and Jack then. Could be a call went out for a petite brunette---cover for recasting Molly, maybe?

I never understood what Reid saw in Luke. Reid was an accomplished professional. Luke was at best an idealistic child (and at worst a whiny, self-righteous, spoiled brat who was repeatedly handed everything he wanted simply because he was Lucinda's grandson and had the attention span of a gnat.)

I can't forget---he died right before my sister's wedding. I remember being so busy that week, running around, finishing up those little details---it was one of the few times I was both off-line and behind watching the 'sodes (honestly---I didn't care that much about Jennifer, period. Being the odd-woman-out of the Katie/Mike story and stuck in the hell-hole of Craig/Dusty/Paul---if there was ever a perfect storm of complete story suckitude with an actor I actually didn't loathe, that was it.) I actually didn't find out he'd died for a couple of days. I was devastated. At that point for me, he was the heart & rock of the show.

Yeah---the Kim who befriended Katie and to a lesser extent Molly---that wasn't Kim to me. Kim wasn't snapping at Susan for no reason---Susan knew exactly how to push Kim's buttons and Kim called a spade a spade. TIIC (in the last fifteen years) may never have alluded that the history between Susan and Kim went back to Dan but we knew it did.

I'm pretty sure Marland had no intention of making the Kasnoffs any kind of core family. Stern and Black (?) were kind of forced into it once Jon Hensley left and the Snyders had no men left on the canvas. Once Hensley came back (and Christain decided to go Hollywood), Walters was pretty speedily ditched, if I remember correctly.
