Has McKenzie had work done on her face or was it just her rather heavy makeup that made her look so different? Maybe it's because I haven't seen her since the show ended. She looks so different.

I think she's had work done. Although she was 20 I believe when started on passions. When I first saw her a few years back her looks startled me.

OK - I thought it was just me!! McKenzie was actually 22 when the show debuted...she was born in April 1977.

I’m no expert but I would guess injectables are to blame for McKenzie’s appearance.  But while we’re on the subject, there’s something odd going on with Eric Martsolf’s hairline and eyebrows. Men tend to use a single color dye, and it looks very unrealistic, especially next to Galen who seems to be aging a bit more naturally. (OK, that fulfills my bitchy comment quotient for the day).

It's a shame because she looked perfectly fine before, and she's only 44. Oh well.

I thought she looked good. As a matter of fact, all of them looked good. 

I'm glad that they all look back on Passions with such high regard. And with any luck, someone will finally track down Ben Masters.

I hope so, too. He has to be the most off the grid former soap star ever!

It was a nice chat and my God, all of them look amazing! Ladies are so gorgeous and men are such hunks.

They shared some nice stories. Good seeing them all.

It really was. For an hour long show, it always had a relatively small cast. Or maybe it just feels that way because the show always had such a great sense of community.

I always thought McKenzie Westmore looked and read much older, almost matronly, when she was on the show so it's amazing how young she actually is. I imagine a lot of that is down to the very deliberate styling of her as Princess Diana at the outset.

@Vee - from the first week:

Not for nothing, but how in the hell did they think they could pull off the whole Sheridan's connection to Princess Diana thing? 

Sheridan remembering speaking to Princess Diana while she's in the car right before the accident, Sheridan having the same type of accident in the same tunnel? That's all sounds so insensitive to me

Yep. I remember that [!@#$%^&*] vividly, lol.

And - did they really think they were not going to get backlash? It would be insensitive to do it now, but in July 1999 Diana had only been gone less than two years. Thankfully, they dropped the Diana connection in pretty short order.
