Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 14, 2017 Members Share Posted April 14, 2017 Much like Meg Ryan, she's an ungrateful twat when it comes to her soap background. Sadly, not everyone can be proud of their time in daytime like Julianne Moore is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 15, 2017 Members Share Posted April 15, 2017 Some of her co-stars like A Martinez, Richard Eden (Brick) and Robert Thaler (Pearl) have praised her to the skies. Ironically, Mark Arnold said that along with A and Marcy, she was amongst his favorite co-stars. A said on FB once that he and his wife ran into Robin several years ago and had a joyous reunion. Page Moseley (Dylan Hartley) didn't share those sentiments, as he told in an interview from a few years ago: http://santabarbara-online.com/InterviewPMoseley2.htm Or Nathan Fillion, Judith Light, etc.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 15, 2017 Members Share Posted April 15, 2017 The only time I liked SB was when the Walker family was on with Forry Smith, Sydney Penny, Eric Close and Kim Zimmer... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Carlos Abad Posted April 15, 2017 Members Share Posted April 15, 2017 in my opinion, Marcy Walker had the best couple, but Robin Wright was the best actress from that show. I've been seeing episodes from 1986 1988 and I'm really impressed. She's fantastic as Kelly. I cannot understand why some people prefer Carrington Garland. She is not bad but Robin is a master acting class compared to CG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted April 15, 2017 Members Share Posted April 15, 2017 I thought the Walker family was a good idea...because the show needed a middle class family to balance out the Cap wells. The problem was that they were focused on too quickly at the expense of the capwells. That said, I actually liked Kim Zimmer better here then on GL. She was still a little over the top, but she was also more grounded...playing a cop...and the scenes where she felt guilt not recognizing the signs that her daughter was abused when she'd been a cop were acted well. The problem the show had was that it was too hinged on Cruz/Eden...and once Eden left...the show never recovered. If modern soaps could watch a past soap to show what not to do....Santa Barbara should be a template of how focusing on one couple without developing long term supporting characters can kill a show long term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted April 15, 2017 Members Share Posted April 15, 2017 As much as I loved Reva....Kim was better in the role. Her character wasn't so over the top like Reva and loved her relationship with her children and husband. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 15, 2017 Members Share Posted April 15, 2017 Apparently, it never occurred to her that if Rob Reiner hadn't watched her on SB, she never would have gotten the movie role that put her on the map. I think a lot of her bitterness about the show stems with Dane being let go so early into the show's run, and maybe her relationship with him in general. Or maybe she was upset when Marcy Walker (who in 1984 was already a seasoned soap actress with a couple of Emmy nominations under her belt) came on a couple of months into the show's run and became the show's leading lady (it was almost all Kelly/Joe pre-Eden). Whatever the reason, SB opened up a lot of doors for Robin Wright. Regardless of her personal feelings towards the Dobsons or anyone else for the show, she should be grateful for what the show did for her. Maybe Julianne Moore should shake some sense into her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 16, 2017 Members Share Posted April 16, 2017 I don't think this is her but just wanted to check - is this Carrington Garland in the Avis ad? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 17, 2017 Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 @DRW50, the actress sure looks and sounds like Carrington Garland. I just don't know for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 17, 2017 Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 She looks a bit old to be her but it reminds me a lot of her, especially at the end. I guess she isn't on FB or anything to where we could ask... Sad that there's so little material of her outside of SB in the first place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 17, 2017 Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think she is on FB, though I am not connected with her. Plus, she didn't give up acting until a few years after this commercial aired. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 17, 2017 Members Share Posted April 17, 2017 She still looks very pretty. On SB, her resemblance to Marcy Walker was uncanny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
