Marcia Cross will be on Quantico as a recurring character once it returns in March.

 

Grant Show, of course, is a regular on Devious Maids.

 

Heather took a three year break after Franklin & Bash in 2013, but seems to be in a new tv movie. Hopefully she'll do more acting and she just took a break to sort out her life.

I mean I know what they have done, and DZ was awesome as Brookes mom on OTH btw.    I am sure Marcia Cross and CTS don't need the money.   I am just saying do any of them have long term commitments anywhere except Grant Show (I didn't know he was a regular)?  They could totally do a movie ala Knots Landing like the 80's.  There may be no market, but I don't see why Fox or the CW couldn't try or Lifetime with their unauthorized biographies lol.  Then Grant could even do it.  And yeah, not so sure about Heather and she's kinda of the deal breaker.  Just a thought.

I have never seen devious maids so I have no idea.  Time flies.  I realized I watched this in jr high and high school and now I am in my 30's lol  I just think it would be kinda cool to do one of those old school this is where they are at now movies.  Lord knows the crappy movies they put out on lifetime now.  Although, not gonna lie loved them doing flowers in the attic and all the sequels.  I can't imagine Michael Mancini 57, but I am sure he looks good.  The rest of the cast does relatively.  They all came together for the reunion show on GMA sans TC, so they seem like they'd be willing.  I mean I know Lisa Rinna would be in lol  She turns nothing down.

The bay is the web series with Lilly Melgar, and Mary Beth Evans, and a bunch of soap stars right?  They don't film very many episodes, do they?  It keeps my Melrose movie dream alive, but glad to hear TC is working.  I heard the Bay was good, but I have never seen in.  I am not into web series even though I know a lot are better than actual soaps.

Okay just finished season 5.  I had no idea it really was.  I remember it being bad, but it's awful.  The only mild entertainment is Taylor.  I mean David Chavert is funny for different reasons.

1. wtf is this Billy/Sam/Dad thing.  No one cares

2.  Why did Kimberly go into re-mission only to die?

3.  I totally forgot Alison was back on the sauce and Jake was just cool with it?  They are one of the worst married couples ever.  Truly  Her and Amanda and her being back at D&D were a bright spot.  I liked them as grudging friends.

4.  This show is just a hot mess and it gets so much worse in the second half.

5.  Did not recall NLG on the show at all.  And that Matt/storyline was so weird.

At least Billy and Alison got a small send off.  I know they showed up at the airport with Jane, but it was like here's a banner and see you later. Lol

1. Exactly. Sam was the worst character ever created. Even Kyle's brother in Season 7 is more interesting. If she was supposed to be the replacement for Jo, they misfired horribly. 

2. I think others mentioned there were some back 'n forth contract negotiations with Marcia Cross?  I always thought it was ironic how by the time she became an "official" castmember in season 4, she had already outrun her usefulness. 

3. Yeah, I couldn't believe how Allison was able to hit the bottle and Jake barely flinched. I liked how Allison eventually went back to D&D, for all of two seconds. 

4. Yup. haha

5. It was. Once again, Matt in his own storyline island, with no cute boyfriend (although his boyfriends were always mental hotheads) or the adorable Mara Wilson to make him interesting. 

 

Small sendoff for poor Jane. Gone are the days of someone getting a promotion or whatnot, and everyone from the apartment complex coming over for an impromptu party, complete with balloons and cake. Season One was adorable... :) 

 

I like how Soap Opera Digest once described David Charvet's MP run.... "from the moment David Charvet joined Melrose Place, he looked like he didn't want to be there." So true.

Sam was dead weight. She was riding off her success from Swingers.  She was less bad ass than Jo at her best when Jo was getting beat up by Jake's brother.

Marcia Cross way outlived her usefulness.  Why negotiate?  Syd was a way bigger loss.  They should have given more money to CTS or Grant Show, although I am okay with Jake's exit.

Alison in season 5 is an utter disappointment.  I don't understand why they just didn't have her and Billy ride off into the sunset.  It's not like Billy did anything worthy after season 5.

Amanda never really had a true rival (even though she always beat Alison) after season 5.  I think their rivalry was special because of the love triangle and the points where they are friends.

Poor Matt.  I like him in second viewing.  He deserved a better storyline alway

David Charvet always seemed too young and out of place with the rest of the cast although I like Sydney and him together.  So did Jenn, Billy's soulmate.

      Where do you discover this crazy rumor??

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      I'm back! We are back! Me and my husband are finally back at our favorite hobby! How could I postpone returning to this amazing show for so long??? What was I thinking??? Another World - February 2nd, 1989 The dead will revenge the living

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.

      It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).
