Donna was totally driven by maintaining her (and her family's) social status until she fell back in love with Michael.  Then, by the time she was romancing Matthew, she maintained none of the same concerns.  And, I'm not even talking about the recast years when she completely regressed.  Her main conflict should have always been the dynamic between personal happiness and concerns about the judgment of others. 

Rachel and Iris faced the same daddy-issues through every relationship they encountered.  Felicia was always conflicted about exposing her identity, due to a fear of rejection, both in love, her career, and with her daughter.  But, Donna was a much more poorly developed character, and therefore always felt less rooted in a central dynamic.  Which is a shame because she was played by such a wonderful actress.

I'm just saying what I was told. And I am willing to believe that the show would invest in an expensive wig for one of their most high profile characters -- but also it really did come across onscreen as terrible.

When Marley came back briefly to visit Vicky in her coma, they arranged Anne's hair to make it look like a different and shorter cut. But it was probably too precarious for everyday. I agree that a French braid or prim chignon would have been a better option than the wig.

About 50 minutes in Marley arrives if you want to see the 'do in motion.

It was Joe Allen's where after a show, a Noel Coward with Alan Rickman & I forgot what woman. Anyway, I found myself sitting at a circular table right next to another circular table with Anne Heche & her party. That was when she was starring in PROOF which I had already seen twice. Anne is, or was, really a very special person to me. I spent the entire evening pretending I was paying attention to the people I was with when in reality I was listening attentively to every single word Anne said. How's that for star struck?! 

Although once at the Chat 'n Chew I did the same exact thing only with Chloe Sevigny who is nothing to me except a good actress & on that occasion she was telling a very wild, involved story about this director, and OMG!!

This is my Digital Files List, also called a Trader's List. 

I am looking for any Another World Edits, either by character, or couple or storyline. Like many people I have some Anne Heche edits. I also have Connie Ford edits. I have all of the KBAY Match Dare Telethons plus 4 Christmases where the cast goes caroling. Last of all I have the 11 files that make up the Bench Fund-raising Videos: Mac & Rachel, The Lovely Ada, Carl & Rachel, Cory Christmases. I've heard that someone out there has Josie & Gary Edits.

I think this is good assessment. The nuPaulina was more like Vicky so it didn't leave room for two Vickies on the show.  I still don't understand why they didn't just cast Evans as Vicky if they wanted her so much. It would have at least made sense since AW viewers might have been more likely to watch DOOL.

I suppose execs thought hiring Jensen Buchanan would be a big "get" but why would OLTL fans care that she moved to AW? Buchanan and Evans started around the time and I remember the audience reaction was not positive to either actress in the beginning.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
