Oh no. Mark Cameron Wystrach made an awesome Fox. He was in no way comparable to Justin but he had his own rhythm as Fox. Not to mention the INSANE chemistry between him and Adrian Bellani. They were hot.

I wish I had seen this Charity Rahmer girl. How could someone be so bad in such a short period of time? As for ATWT, Soapsuds is right. Heather Rattray was very different than Martha Byrne (and not as talented), but she acquitted herself OK. Susan Batten is the poster child for all miscasts.

Jenny did a great job as Carly. It's just some of the TB lovers never gave her a chance, I think the problem with Tracy Middendorf was that people were just so used to Cristie, cause she was excellent as Steve's crazy girlfriend on 90210. And Emily Harrison was just miscast as Bridget, and it was Brad's mistake for recasting right after Jennifer Finnagen left without giving the audience time to adjust.

It was bad. I remember watching with a friend of mine when she first came one and we both went WTF. I think she was only on for a month before Martha Madison showed up. I'm sure if you did a few You Tube searches you might find some old Shelle videos that have her in it. Most of her scenes were with Philip and Jan since it was the time when Shawn was locked in the "love cage". I know there was a clip somewhere where she is practically flirting with John Black...HER FATHER.

    • Hotel no doubt benefited from the Dynasty lead in and didn't move until it was jettisoned to Sat night wasteland to play out a final season. Maybe it should have been moved earlier to perhaps bolster another night and allow ABC to nurture another show in the post Dynasty timeslot when the former was still a ratings winner.  
    • Who is going to say, "I'm headed home to watch The Chew?!?!" One of the most ridiculous names ever. I didn't watch AMC or keep up with it towards the end, but OLTL still had life in it and could have gone on. OLTL 2.0 was entertaining and worked because RC was not involved. A real shame that did not work because I think the show could have gone in good directions. 
    • Another episode with Chandler uploaded.

    • I've always said that JFP's main problem is that she comes up with some shocking event and she plans around the event but she never thinks much about the emotional fallout for the characters or the fans. That's why so many of her stories don't work and damage her shows. I like your idea about Lando playing the person involved in hitting Maureen. It would have given Peter Simon something to do which is the feeble excuse they gave for killing Maureen off in the first place. Instead, they gave us the dreck they did.  And they were so obsessed with recreating the blackout week that they kept putting characters in fires and blizzards. None of which I saw, but going through the Logan columns I noticed: every few weeks, someone at GL would give an interview to Logan saying GL was going to get better because they had a great new storyline (A fire! A blizzard! A fire!) . Insanity.  
    • @Contessa Donatella, Make sure to cite your sources when making claims such as "apparently she just inked a new deal." This information has not been reported anywhere and is therefore not known to the public, unless disclosed by the actor in question themselves. Once again, stop stating information as fact without providing a legitimate source. What you read or hear somewhere, from either message boards or on social media, does not make it true. This includes information from your "sources."

      Sorry.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieDNct2sgXU  
    • I don't believe it either, @kalbir.  Ironically, I think KL's first producer, Joseph B. Wallenstein, ended up producing "Hotel" as well.
    • Yes, and by the time the 2000's rolled around Katherine was a saint and a dynamic business women. Hard to connect with the drunken lush isolated in her mansion of the 70's.
    • For once, I agree with Maurice.  AMC and OLTL had seen better days, IMO, but to assume that the audience would stick around for "The Revolution" or "The Chew" was pure hubris on the network's part.
