The one that almost made me say something was when they said Elvera Roussel played "Susan Bates Spaulding" on GL, a character who arrived 12 years after Elvera's character was written out. I kept it zipped because some uploaders flip out when they're corrected.

Really interesting interview, isn't it?

 

I think Gordon's view of Joan vs. Linda is probably right on...it's a very interesting comment that he thinks John Forsyth was in love with Linda (by himself, quietly), and that Joan was jealous of how everyone loved Linda despite Linda being a wholly mediocre actress but a lovely person.

 

Gordon went to McGill University - Canada's finest university, which explains his exceptional diction. I thought it was really sweet that the two Steven's got him to see a surgeon about his ankle. 

 

And of course I love his take on the reboot. He loves to swear and does it beautifully. I hope has happier days ahead, for he does sound a bit sad and lonely.

Linda had a crush on John when she did a guest spot on Bachelor Father in 1960; it's hard to imagine that John didn't feel flattered. I believe she was very happy when he replaced George Peppard (who apparently wasn't all that pleasant) in the pilot.

I have a feeling Linda Evans wasn't the only one happy about George Peppard's departure.  Apparently he wasn't pleasant on many sets.  I remember his A-Team co-star Melinda Culea saying he was horrible to her on that show and that led to her being fired.  She later went on to Knots Landing.

DYNASTY's PR, including Esther Shapiro's never-ending BS machine (her mouth), was so, so, SO very good. You see some of the print ads or something like this and think -- my God, this is going to be amazing. And then you tune in and it's 95% crapola.

I love how thoroughly he trashed the reboot and rightfully so. It's one thing when Dallas had a reboot, but it featured several core actors from the original show and was really more of a continuation. This has next to no ties to the original show. Plus, Dynasty was a byproduct of the 1980s...the glamour, the excess...it could never exist in another era. Finally, what kind of an insult is it that the show will air on the CW? Ouch.
