I hope the Williams enjoy a resurgence...

If they're looking for a random new young man...instead of the next Ji Min or Adrian Korbel...there is no reason not to make him Brooks Prentiss. And, well, what Bill Bell wanted is somewhat irrelevant at this point...what matters is what MAB and her team want.

First if the character Mary Jo is Patty what a disappointment it will be. I did love the character back then. By why not get Andrea Evans to reprise the role?

And who would be Brooks Prentiss?? I am lost there and too lazy to go search through this thread for the answer. :lol:

LOL...I liked her in the role.

I know that. I meant what current character on the canvas would he be. I thought that's what Mark was referring to.

Too tedious.

Lorie and Leslie Brooks were sisters.

Lance and Lucas Prentiss were brothers.

Over time, each sister was with each brother, although mostly Lorie (the novelist) and Leslie (the pianist) fought over Lance.

Leslie got pregnant (I think while Lorie was married to Lance) by Lance. She tried to conceal the pregnancy (by living in Europe and claiming to have eaten too many Swiss chocolates), and Lance's brother tried to step up and marrie Leslie to give the child a name...but in the end, Lorie figured it out. This child was Brooks Prentiss.

Well, eventually Leslie went crazy (again) and wandered out of town, with amnesia. She was gone for a long time, in St. Louis, singing in the bar of a kindly man named Jonas.

Lorie took care of the boy, and grew to love him like a son. So when Leslie finally got her head together and came back to town, Leslie and Lorie had an ugly custody fight over Brooks. Lorie claimed maternal abandonment. In the end, though Leslie got her child back.

Tina, Tawny and Rebecca were so over the top characters. I hated her in those roles. But Patty was different from what I remember. She is the original Patty. It would have been nice seeing her opposite Doug Davidson again.

No someone else said they should bring Brooks back...I agreed...if they're looking for the next random young man.

Andrea is not the original Patty. The original is Lillibet Stern.

OH ok now I get what you were saying.

Eh...Lillibet Stern didnt even register with me.

Just like Martha Byrne is original LIly and not the actress who portrayed her before.

    • 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.  
    •   Dani’s cute ass party planner. He gave me some tea but I was so drunk I don’t remember it.
    • 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.
