I love how dishy and vaguely bitchy this interview is. Once you're a certain age and out of the spotlight, I guess there's no need to filter yourself.

 

He definitely looked good in his shorts in the 80s on Dynasty. He was the star of many a gay fantasy; people would have been shocked to know their fantasies could have been reality...

Heather is so tragic. It appears that she's an alcoholic with mental health issues and codependency who doesn't think twice about mixing prescription pills and booze. 

 

Ageing is hard. Ageing in Hollywood when you're Heather Locklear and you used to be known as one of the most beautiful women in the world - it would be excruciating when you're as insecure as she appears to be. She's back dating some guy she knew in high school after Tommy Lee, Richie Sambora, David Spade, Jack Wagner, a plastic surgeon and who else knows...she can't hack it alone and she really, really, needs to learn to.

 

Her spells in rehab haven't stuck, she's been in this same cycle for a solid 10 years. It seems to me that work kept Heather on the straight and narrow. She was Aaron Spelling's 'lucky penny' but now that penny has tarnished and Aaron isn't here anymore to save her with work. If he was alive, you can bet your last dollar she would be working for him.

It is sad. For her sake and the sake of her daughter, I hope she can pull through. 

 

I watch the nightly reruns of TJ Hooker on FETV and find it hard to reconcile the Heather Locklear of today with the innocent good girl that Officer Stacy Sheridan was. She was awfully young when Aaron Spelling discovered her. I think she was only 20 or so. That image has probably been almost impossible to live up to, and years later she starts to crack. 

 

Maybe this incident will finally be the wake up call she needs. Only time will tell.

It's sad that things have fallen apart for her in recent years. I take it she mainly likes bad boys and most of her relationships wind up being toxic. The current guy she's with she dated back in high school in the 70's. Heather has been working since about 1979 with commercials, guest appearances etc...Aaron was her big break when he discovered her at 20.

 

I hope she gets the help she needs and gets her life on track.

Me too. Aaron always kept her in steady work, now that he is gone, she lost her steady rock. Speaking of Spelling, I remember one time seeing some photos of Heather's high school yearbook and in one she is doing the famous Farrah pose in a swimsuit, but she is wearing a fake nose and glasses for a comedy gag. Little did she know, she would be working for the man that made Farrah a household name and would do the same for her.

She's checked into rehab: http://people.com/tv/heather-locklear-in-treatment-addiction/

 

It's so sad. Heather is basically living the lyrics of Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful'...

I hope she spends months in rehab. She needs long term inpatient treatment in order to get a handle on this.

David Paulsen took over as the show-runner for Season 9, and Dana was a casualty of the changes. The show really improved by leaps & bounds over the last few seasons: storylines were more original & interesting, well-liked established characters like Sable were brought in to mix it up, and Fallon was written as Fallon once again (pretty much revealing that the problem with the recast wasn't the actress, it had been the writing - as had been the problem for the entire show the last few seasons - all along)... 

 

But Linda Evans exited, then Joan Collins said she'd be out... and ABC got panicky and canceled it just as things got good again - and without a series finale. I honestly would have loved to see where Dynasty would have gone from that last cliffhanger... Even the reunion almost entirely ignored Season 9's events.

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
