Y&R: From KFTLC and Silk Stalkings to Genoa City: Actor Joins Cast!

[Wendy]

I just read in SOD [with Days' Lucas/Sami on the cover] that Chris Potter [KF: TLC; Silk Stalkings; Queer As Folk] joins Y&R on May 9th as Evan Owen. He will try to help Gloria win William's [Ted Shackelford] heart.

Me: Too bad Joan Van Ark still was not playing Gloria. That would mean a Val/Gary [Knots Landing] reunion.

What happened to Joan Van Ark!?!? I actually LIKED Gloria when she was in the role? Was she too expensive for Y&R to afford or something? It still bothers me to THIS DAY that shes not playing Gloria and instead we're stuck with this annoying, screeching, bug eyed, gold digger version. I felt like JVA had actual chemistry with John as well.

[DeeeDee]

JVA quit.

Even though I HATE Gloria as played by Judith Chapman, at least she was a step-up. Chapman hasn't had nearly as many facelifts and chemical peels as Van Ark, who just simply couldn't move her face.
