Catherine Hickland: Reeling in the Men


Recommended Posts

  • Members

This is a silly, random post.

My brother was over to drop off some stuff when I was watching OL yesterday. He used to watch years ago, around the time of the Rappaports' introduction. During a scene with Paige and Lindsay, my brother was like "Man, she has still got it," referring to Linds. This made me chuckle, because my brother is usually not attracted to any woman over 39. And it got me thinking about all of the men I know who have commented on Cat during my years of watching OL. I distinctly remember my friend Dennis (gay), my cousin Brad (straight), and my friend Adam (straight) all saying that she was hot, and several of my female friends have said the same. Interesting that among the hot women of OL, she is such a magnet!

I think she is gorgeous and aging quite well, even if I've never been a fan of tanning.

LOL! From the subject title I thought I was going to pick up some gossip about my favorite daytime actress. [CH has a MySpace account she opened months ago at http://myspace.com/catherinehickland and her availability status is listed as "in a relationship." Who's the lucky guy?? ;) Inquiring minds.....]

But you're right. Cat Hickland is beautiful and looks damn good for near 51 yo. I've met her on a few different occasions now and the camera does not do justice to those eyes of hers. And like other actors, she's also much tinier in person. What seemed to attract everyone I saw her with (men and women, gay and straight) was her sparkling joie de vivre and vitality. You could tell how much she loves life and people.

I'm sad about TDS but I'm so glad we're seeing more of CH and Lindsay on OLTL. I just may start programming the show again!

STOP IT SCOTTY! 51?! I don't believe it! Catherine Hickland looks flawless! And she truly hasn't aged much since she first started on soaps. Her looks have only matured and gotten better. Right now I'm getting a double dose also watching her on Texas and she's such an amazing actress. I'm also getting a double dose of Hilary B. Smith with some classic ATWT episodes I bought. It's so wonderful that OLTL saw what a goldmine they had and are bringing these two back into the fold!

I even like Paige now thanks to her relationship with Lindsay.

Well, actually she's 50...she won't be 51 until February 11th. But she looks very good for her age.

And *dodges punches* I have always liked Paige since Alexandra Neil took over the role.

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
