If she lightened her hair, it would be better. Marian, Liza and Colby... all originated as blondes.

It's funny. We went from everyone on this show except Erica, Amanda and Kendall being blonde to Annie darkening her hair... Krystal... Bring back Angie... Introduce Randi... kill off Babe... bring in Reese... Now even Liza's dark.

Is Colby the only contract blonde on the show now?

I like her, but agree she'd have been a better Skye. I also noticed the MW-like husk in her voice. Screw recasting altogether, she's strong enough to have been an original character. I just know that for months I'll have to keep remindimg myslef that this is Liza, this is Liza talking, this is that same blonde Liza, and so on.

My reaction literally played out like this:

Faulkner: Taylor?

Me: Taylor? :mellow::huh::blink::o OH, MY GOD! Taylor!! :o

Anyway, I agree about the sex kitten thing.

My trouble with comparing LunarLiza to WalkerLiza is that Liza Colby had been sooooooo watered down by the 'the writer'/Nixon & Passanante/Culliton/'the writer' regimes is that it's really difficult to say anything -- at least with me -- about whether I see Lunar as Liza. She became so Martinized and tried on numerous times to "change" and "emasculate" Adam, so worried about living up to Jake and Tad's expectations, that she lost whatever fire that she had under Broderick's writing back in the mid 1990s. That is the Liza I'm using as the standard. Not the Mommy Liza who spends all her time crying, begging Adam to change and always sniffing around the Martin boys seeking their approval about HER DAMN LIFE!

I wonder if ABC has received any complaints from long-time fans about NuLiza. I know ABC doesn't care about what fans think anymore, but just out of curiosity, does anything thing ABC would recast the role with a blonde, if fans aren't responding well to Luner?

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
