Ah, that was not in the podcast so I guess that's why I didn't see it...

Well, ever since she joined the show up to 2009 she always had short scenes; it was always mentioned in some way, I can't believe you don't remember.

Eric Braeden rules! I love how his (and Victor's) take-no-s--- 'tude and also how he (and Victor) speak what's on their mind. I bet Eric gets a huge laugh whenever he wraps up a scene with Colleen/Heather trying to be all confrontational towards Victor. I know I do.

Totally unrelated, but I wonder if Bill Bell named Eric Forrester after Eric Braeden?

In the hands of a better actress, Amanda, given that she is the daughter of two idiosyncratic legacy characters, could've been a lead and really interesting character, but Chrishelle is just laughable. I mean, the poor girl does try...You have to give her props for that. Her lack of talent is really evident when she's in scenes with pros like RPG and VI. These guys might as well be talking to the wallpaper. If Frons was ever right about anything, he was right when he said that Chrishelle is not a lead actress. Although why he, McT & JHC didn't cast a better actress in the first place is a whole other story! I think Alicia Minshew sucks too, which I know is not a popular opinion. How anyone could think she is lead actress (I mean on the show, not the Emmy categories) material is anyone's guess. One of the show's biggest flaws for the past few years has been having her and a bunch of other no-talent actors front and center.

Get a better actress as Amanda and I might even be interested in her keeping the baby and fighting over it with David for years to come. As it is now, all I want is for him to get the baby away from her because I can't stand the thought of Amanda being more of a child than the child is!

Hearing her "out at Prohibition until 5am" voice makes me itch for the FF button. The idea that she's "too talented" for AMC and primed for Primetime where her talents will be properly appreciated astounds me. Cornelius Smith and Daniel Kennedy, maybe. Not sure about Stause.

    • 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.
    • Omg not we both ran into people from the show this weekend!
    • I guess he was let out the gates, because he's outside. 
    • Yup.  You can hate John all you want, but like seriously he was the cornerstone of the show for years.  So he should get a long ass funeral and burial and all the things because Drake and John deserve that.
