Santa Barbara Discussion Thread

That's not offensive at all. 

 

Garland certainly looked enough like Walker to play her sister, and resembled Robin Wright enough to visually fit in as Kelly. (Actually, when you look closely, she's kind of like a cross between the two.) But I think what's most important is that she had the right energy & personality, as well as great chemistry with her co-stars, to succeed in the role. MacArthur was a stop-gap recast - just not memorable, feeling more like a place-holder......

 

And Eileen Davidson was like an experiment gone wrong - an attempt to reinvent the role. It wasn't necessary, and it was a shame to expend Garland, who had already accomplished winning over viewers... a tough thing to do, considering who originated the part.

Cat, do you think Marcy looked ugly during her initial years as Liza Colby on All My Children?

 

Going back to Santa Barbara, do you remember when Eden was paralyzed and left for dead in Utah?  Do you remember Eden losing the use of her legs all over again after partially regaining her ability to walk?  Was it painful for you to see Eden with crutches or a cane?  Was it painful for you to see her in a wheelchair?

Um...would Santa Barbara have been more of a critics' darling, and lasted longer on television, if its sole sponsor had been a manufacturer of toilet paper?

 

And after Eden was BRUTALLY RAPED, would fans have felt better if Mr. Whipple had let her squeeze the Charmin?
