LOL. I mostly agree here. I thought McTavish came in strong and her Brent/Marian storyline was fantastic and compelling. It created such a strong umbrella story (which I thought McTavish was usually good at). I thought the Dinah/Roger pairing in the beginning was a good idea (went downhill in 1996). I don't remember exactly if McTavish came in and the idea of Reva in Amishland was her's or given to her, but tying Reva's return into Brent's storyline and her ultimate return with Alex announcing her return at Josh/Annie's wedding was fantastic. Ghost Reva just before in April 1995 was so odd and I still want to understand better how that worked behind the scenes. Did Kim Zimmer just fall back in love with being on GL that she said ok, I'll return full-time... or what?
As others said, once Brent/Marian ended (which I know she wanted the actor to come back so she could rehabilitate him, but the actor chose not to)... but once that ended, she ran out of steam and 70% of 1996 was just awful. Lonatrat, Gilly/Vivian/Griffin fiasco - brutal - and Save 5th Street was just boring. A-Spaulding and Phillip's return was a dud, but I did enjoy Amanda.
But yeah, I don't think McTavish's GL was wackier/over the top than what we got later with the clone and a few other stories.
