Drake and Deidre

I would love to see Deidre on AMC as a recast Tara or even someone new to go toe-to-toe with Erica or even on OLTL as Kelly's not-so-dead/never seen Mother Melinda Cramer and start a romance with Bo or begin a Nora/Clint/Melinda triangle. Drake could show up in Genoa City as Victor's brother Matt and sweep Jill and Esther off their feet or take Oakdale by storm as a new Doctor who has a hatred for Lisa and a heated passion for Lucinda, turns out he is Lisa long lost son.

Personally, I would love to see Deidre on Y&R playing some ferocious Miranda Priestly-esque boardroom bitch who goes toe-to-toe with Nikki or Ashley. She's so good at playing the bitch and never got to do it often enough as Marlena. There's a reason that some of her best scenes involved Marlena sticking it to Stefano.

As for Drake... meh. Retire, LoL.

None. I don't think any soap should grab Dee or Drake. Dee could return to primetime, via guest spots; and Drake could be just a stay-at-home dad or something.

I don't want either of them on another soap, I find them both to be absolutely horrible.

With Drake, do we really have to go into why he sucks as an actor?

I've always found Hall to be absolutely campy and over the top as an actress. She does nothing for me, and her acting hardly ever rose above the atrocious material she was given to play on DAYS over the past 10+ years, IMO. It's a shame about Hall, from what I've seen of her work from the 70's and early 80's, she really knew how to act better and had much more charisma, but that all faded in the 90's and she's never recovered, IMO.

Well, I think Dee is wonderful as an actress and could go to be one of the Divas of Desperate Housewives' mother or something. Drake didn't do good since he returned in 2008, but He is great as well, and I hope a soap pick them both up soon or even primetime could do them justice as well

    • Oh wow that’s pretty awesome! I wish I had  approached him but there was so many people 
    • In the current environment, while it's small, there is a crumb of good news: Apparently, San Antonio voted for a DEMOCRATIC mayor, Gina Ortiz, beating the "right-hand man" of Gov. Greg Abbott, former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5337199-gina-ortiz-jones-wins-san-antonio/
    • Love this! You are both adorable. Wow
    • I have not gone back to watch much of 1987, but from what I've seen lately, it doesn't feel like the writers or producers had any sort of plan. The show feels as if it's constantly in flux.  I will give it credit for this. It's watchable for the most part minus Lisa/Jamie which I find nearly unwatchable now.   I don't find Cheryl mousy. I think she has a lot of quiet strength, but she was saddled with the Scott romance which the writers did not invest in. She had a good friendship with Julie (also criminally underused), and her interactions with Ada were enjoyable as well. I also like Layman, but Spencer was extremely talented and when Cass returns, Schnetzer and Spencer have some wonderful scenes. Spencer also fits in with Alexander, Hogan, and Marie.  I'd forgotten just how much I missed seeing Wallingford. IT was so good to see him again. Even when they didn't have a major plot, Felicia/Cass/Wallingford/Mitch always brings a smile to my face.

    • NBC must have been grateful to have LHOTP, it's only hit and still strong after several seasons. Their next established show was Rockford Files at 45th. They didn't develop any comedies and relied on movies and mini series  which didnt establish viewer loyalty and habits. Their only new hit was mid season's Project UFO which debuted Feb up against Rhoda/On Our Own on CBS and How the West Was Won on ABC. It opened with a strong 36 share beating CBS and close to ABC as HTWWW had a 36 share over 3 hours. The next week UFO saw a respectable 32 share, then a 31 so it was slipping. A 28 share followed but a few weeks later it jumped back up to a 34. So no blockbuster but compared to what else they had, there was potential, So next season NBC sent it to Thursday up against Mork and The Waltons and it bombed.  They were smart to see potential in Chips, which took off on Saturdaysnext season. ABC was on a roll with Love Boat, 3's Company, Taxi, Eight is Enough adding to their hits. Their only real flops were Redd Foxx and San Pedro Beach Bums, an Aaron Spelling misfire. Like Redd Foxx, Harvey Korman was lured to ABC but his series was a filler that did well but was considered a time slot hit. Nancy Walker and Rob Reiner were also given series on the philosophy that not only were they popular names, their absence from popular shows like Sanford, Rhoda and All in the Family might weaken those shows. CBS were relying on old favorites. Betty White was strong the first few weeks then faded. Incredible Hulk was their strongest newbie. It was lucky for CBS that NBC was doing so badly or else some of their weaker shows would have really suffered.
    • That outfit looks like something Martin would wear lol.
