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.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.

      It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.'

      And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.

      @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

      Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.
