Raven is a force of nature... And Nola... boy, oh, boy... The show will not be the same after Kim departs... I have very little episodes left before that happens! And I will miss her. Sooo much. She is my current wallpaper actually. I adore this woman.

Have no fear!! Nola Madison will "thank the Academy, my producer, my director, and all the Little People in the Audience who made my performance in Mansion of the Damned so ENCHANTING", before she sweeps off the screen like Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd.   (It's an especially memorable farewell to an especially memorable character.)

I feel like at the time there was a bit more restrictions about talking about characters belonging to a real life agency, involved with real world politics etc. But that's just my guess.

I agree, the culture of nationalism during the Reagan Era would have frowned upon US spies who working were against the government's interest. Which is why he got the CEA, the WSB, and the ISA on various soaps in the 1980s.

Variety reported June 79 that Dennis Parker (Derek) tested for a leading role in 'Can't Stop the Music' at that point titled 'Discoland Where The Music Never Stops'

Parker was involved with Jacques Morali, who was behind the Village People and produced Dennis' album 'Like An Eagle'

So maybe Jacques pushed for Dennis to get an audition? Seems likely.

The Rialto Report (warning - NSFW site) profile on Dennis talked about this. Henri Belolo (EP on Dennis' "Like an Eagle" song) claimed that Jacques really wanted him to be in the movie, but Allan Carr refused. Henri believed that due to Allan's desires for young men, he was jealous of all the attention Dennis got. Jacques and Allan had a huge fight which Henri had to mediate. Ultimately Dennis wasn't in the film, although he was included in the promotion and premiere parties.

One of Dennis' friends said Dennis told him Jacques had decided not to include him as a member of The Village People because he wanted to launch him as a solo star. Dennis himself was more ambivalent about the whole thing.

I have been binge-watching Nora Fulton's arc and while Nora is a gnat and there are tons of plot holes, the story is entertaining. But I think it is painfully obvious that Cameron is going to be the one to murder Nora as she overheard his phone conversation and he doesn't appear to be a long-term character.

I think I kind of figured it out too because I am also starting to watch the Isis building arc and the most obvious suspects (Miles, Sky, Mitzi, Preacher, Gunther) are running amok and Nicole is dead.  

But back to the Nora Fulton story, I never understood why Gunther didn't weasel the truth about Nora being pregnant out of Miles. She did lie and say Miles was her doctor. He should've just gotten confirmation from him. And I guess I can wait and see when the episodes of uploaded eventually, but does Barbara survive the attack by Preacher? And it is kind of icky how he assaulted Barbara (I assume he did), and then goes on to be made the show's young male lead. But I guess we can thank the success of Luke on GH for that trend...

    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
