I've wondered if Susan's very gracious and "on" on-air personality is in part overcompensation for these unsavory bits of Erica-like behavior that leak to the masses. Like her dropping f-bombs on Bloopers and Practical Jokes, or pounding the table when Robin Strasser won the Emmy. Maybe not so much these specific incidents, but just to make the divide between character and actress as clear as possible.

This is terribly morbid of me, but I can't help but wonder if there was ever a victim who never woke up.

Thank you. You all know who you are. My late acting mentor, Eulalie Noble, had a role on TD. I really don't know how big or small. She's gone now and I can't ask her. If anyone knows more, please let me know. She played Ruth in Alice's Restaurant if face recognition may help. Thanks!

I taped the CBS Dynasty reunion on VHS, I'll upload it to YouTube if somebody hasn't beat me to it. I would've seen Legends! in D.C. if I wasn't living in Manhattan at the time. It didn't do well enough to land a Broadway engagement. Legends! originally starred Mary Martin and Carol Channing, but that tour was also disastrous and Broadway was not in the cards. The playwright, James Kirkwood, Jr., wrote a book, Diary of a Mad Playwright, dishing the dirt on that original tour, the precursor to Joan Collins' diary of a mad actress blog in the Daily Mail. There are some clips of the Collins/Evans production on YouTube. Nolan Miller did the costumes for the Dynasty ladies.

How unfair that the stink of this scandal has rubbed off on all of the innocent people Cosby made famous on his shows. Many of them have plenty going on for them (thanks to their career launching Cosby roots), but from here on out, in every interview/article, there will always be at least one line referencing this blot. I've been wondering how Phylicia Rashad's handling this. She has a pretty healthy Broadway career. I don't know what if anything she's working on now or in the near future, but she'd probably dread doing press.

Wow, you guys will have to tell me how you're getting your The Doctors fix.

Cool. I haven't been able to catch The Doctors on Retro, but I assume that's a few years away from where they've started?

amybrickwallace, do you have me blocked? I mentioned Legends! in my post directly above yours. Joan kept a diary of her time on the road with Linda for the Daily Mail's website. It's a hoot, check it out.

Interesting. Around what year was this?

No Linder? Diahann? Gosh, can you imagine the tension between Linda and Joan in the same room together? I wonder if there's no going back now after Joan's Legends! blog. If I could get a picture of myself with Joan, Diahann, and Stephanie, you couldn't tell me NOTHING.

I have a few scenes of JF as Roger on tape. I hate to be mean, but I have found him boring in every role I've ever seen him play... King Galen, Jared Chase, Roger, Adam's lawyer... He shares his scenes with Sherry Stringfield's Blake after a brief exchange with Beverlee McKinsey's Alex. I'll get it up on YouTube sometime within the next four years.

I hate to say that alleged victim of sexual abuse and One Life to Live fan Roseanne faked her DID, but alleged victim of sexual abuse and One Life to Live fan Roseanne faked her DID.

Same, and I agree.

John, how the devil do you find all these? Do you put "soap temp" in the search box or something?

Thank you. An important reminder not to accept everything you see on the Internet at face value.

Oh Faizon, Dr. Cosby does NOT want your help. Good Lord, you can't make this [!@#$%^&*] up. Passionately defending a man who would take one look at your writing and lay you, your mother, and your M.I.A. father the hell out.

Wow, I thought that was Ronn for a hot second. Patrick looks like he's been partying like a rock star. I can hardly believe that's the guy I remember from the Psychic Friends commercials.

Yes Cheap, John linked that a page back or so. I'm sure many of us have noticed how the kids of TCS and ADW view Cosby with such reverence which makes this all the more disturbing to me. As recently as the ADW reunion on OWN, they were praising his genius and Darryl Bell is even a producing partner. It's terrible because the man has done great things, that cannot be denied, but I don't know how one comes to terms with these increasingly valid allegations and "Well, he was always good to me."

Lilakoi is dropping mics.

I believe every word and stand corrected. He shat where he slept and ate.

Re: Stacey Dash, she guest starred as a friend of Denise's who fears she may have contracted an std. I suppose they may have rehearsed their scenes in private (and for a predator, where there's a will there's a way), but when it comes to the set of TCS, I doubt that he'd sh!t where he ate. Too risky. On a busy sitcom set where he's EP with people constantly buzzing and knocking for him, a bunch of kids running around... this setting isn't really conducive to his m.o. He can't exactly wine and drug a girl in his office in the middle of the day and throw his coat over her on the couch. I really don't see why she felt the need to throw her name in this for anything other than attention. And the fact that she wasn't a victim is irrelevant. A sick priest or scout leader can't molest every child with whom he makes contact.

Did Autumn Jackson ever get DNA proof that Cosby is her father? I remember watching her and her mother on Geraldo, that had to have been over twenty (gulp!) years ago. Isn't it something how these things dog a person for decades... To me, that was plenty enough scandal for Mr. Cosby, I never imagined a child born out of an extramarital affair would pale in comparison to later allegations.

Yes Carl, I went white as a sheet several hours ago when I visited that site totally non-related to the topic at hand and saw that piece about Carla. That's when this scandal became uncomfortably personal. Without going into too much detail/sacrificing my anonymity, one of the Ferrigno children was a close friend of mine when we were in school and I have met Lou and Carla on a few occasions when they'd visit. Their child, my friend, is zero bullsh!t and that's all from mama Carla. I'm too embarrassed to ask her anything directly, and they've made no Facebook statement as far as I've noticed, but if Carla said it, I believe it.

A FB friend shared this awkward exchange (if you can even call it that) the other day: http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2014/11/15/364297097/in-npr-interview-bill-cosby-declines-to-discuss-assault-allegations?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=2040 My local FOX news keeps airing a segment from today's Wendy Williams Show where she recalls a twenty four year old incident from her radio days. She brought up an Enquirer interview of one of Cosby's accusers in a "hot topics"-type segment and Cosby got word and promptly called the station. Wendy's GM came at her "like a furious pitbull" and they stood in his office as Cosby on speakerphone, "(Called Wendy) everything but a child of God", says Wendy.

Did the reporter ask Janice a follow-up question about the pill? Janice was heavy into drugs back then, but I still assume she'd ask what she was taking. I mean, did he lie and say it was a qualude, or...?
