John James has a puffy face, he's always carried weight in his face and that's why it looks heavy...but the redness is either rosacea or sun damage and in either case his face is screaming out for some Intense Pulsed Light treatments. I don't think John James ever had an issue with alcohol. Dame Joan's nickname for him was 'Dow James' because of his skill investing in the stock market, he has that bloated look that a lot of wealthy white men who've spent too much time in the sun have.

Dame Joan tweeted the following:

Obviously, Dame Joan and Stephanie Beacham look the best by a country mile but Maxwell Caulfield and Jack Coleman are looking good too. Leann Hunley has gained weight, but she's still pretty and Wayne Northrup looks rugged. The rest...well none of them look as awful as Bo Hopkins!

Al Corley reminds me of Kin Shriner(less bloated)...Ughh to Kathleen Beller. Kirby was my all time least favorite Dynasty, lower than cuckoo Claudia. PSM does look like Valerie Harper! Coleman doesn't age, and Bellwood doesn't look bad, either. Dame Joan and Beacham look fantastic! I wish Hunley and Northrop were still on Days...

I saw Bo Hopkins on a 1968 episode of Mod Squad with Joan Van Ark. He was kind of creepy then too. He had darker hair at that time and must have decided to go blonde soon after. JVA had her original nose/face.

In the pic, I think the the chick between Bo and Leann is Katy Kurtzman who played Lindsay.

Who is next to Leann Hunley?? All the men look like s hit except for Jack Coleman…any wonder I had a huge crush on him. The men have not aged well minus Jack.

    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him

    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of
