Thanks, Mark. This is one of Nelson's better interviews, he asks Brenda a lot of great and on point questions, some of which I've never heard her talk about before (like her thoughts on Kay/Jill when they were mother and daughter).

These are my favorite parts:

:lol:

Such fun ridiculousness! :lol:

The show went to number one because of her and dropped because she left? She's such a gifted actress? God, she's fun(ny)!

At least she disagreed with the Katherine/Jill mother/daughter thing.

Interesting read.

But LOL on her claiming that the show's ratings fell because of her departure.

That I have to agree with! But, the woman's a mess... she didn't see the email for a year?

Still, I wonder if there's still chance for her to come to Wisteria Lane as Edie's sister, perhaps as part of the next mystery. She can have Edie's house and all :lol:

She's delusional. A gifted actress? lol

And she is also incorrect. If she returned to the show from 83- 87 - how does she explain that Y&R hit No 1 in 1988 and has been there ever since? lol. It went to number 1 AFTER she left.

Between Rowell and Dickson, Y&R sure has many #1-making ladies!

Dickson brought it to #1 in 1983, when she returned, but it crashed to #6 in 1987, but in 1990, it went back to #1 again when Rowell arrived!

So Marc Cherry emails her, she doesn't see the email and he just gives up that easily and forgets that he emailed her and forgets about the role? Mr. Cherry must have wanted her so bad that he didn't even follow up with her when he never got a response to her email. lol. She's nuts!

So, this broad thinks it's the corrupt system's fault she didn't get a better divorce settlement? Not, say, her giving the presiding Judge the Hitler sign?

I know you know this. I also know my "pie charts" inspire :rolleyes: in some, but that's what I do. I just need to demystify this false #1 crap.

As you can clearly see below, at least in HH ratings, Y&R was never #1 before 1989 or so (these are averages for the whole season), and it has never been anything but #1 since. There is no association with the arrival/departure of Dickson nor Rowell. I know you know this. But I'm wondering where these fantasies are coming from??? Are they talking about the demographic 18-49? Because that's not true. Are they talking about with African American fans? Because I don't know if that is true.

ETA: FYI, these ratings are through the current season (which is shown as 2008, short for 2008-2009). The X-axis won't show 2009 until NEXT season (2009-2010 season).

    • Creatively, he probably should have stayed with The Doctors, where he stood out as an antihero lead. Not sure what happened with GH. He didn't have the same impact. Was it bad writing, not clicking with co-stars? Didn't they gave him a boat load of money to join GH in 1976? Was Mark Dante just a toned-down version of Nick Bellini? Were they basically the same character?
    • All I can think of is if a lot of big names were leaving around that time she wanted him back as a stopgap, although I have never seen any real evidence that he was popular with GH viewers.
    • I loved watching Shanice hand Leslie her ass and finally shutting her up. It was so good. I also love Martin & Smitty's family.  Anita has to have some sort of plan giving Leslie the tickets to mail for Winterfest. She has to be setting her up for a fall. It's pretty obvious to me Vernon is not cheating with Sharon. I think Sharon is helping him with his terrible singing voice for Winterfest. I still believe Bill & Dani are endgame but I love Dani & Andre too. I am definitely enjoying this story. And making Hayley a black widow is a nice twist.
    • Sorry for the spam. Wasn't sure where to put this, it's from Tony Geary's husband's IG. Tony watching Genie and Maurice on Mo's show.
    • This show is really trundling along BTW. When is someone going to show up to slit Beastmaster's throat or crack the whip on metrosexual Sidwell? (BTW, openly presenting this cheery bon vivant as casually bisexual would at least be something vaguely diverting.) At least kill Brennan by year's end. I'm bored.
    • She told Vanessa to "DOUBLE her offer" on the Jarvis house.  The Jarvis family accepted the doubled price.  Assuming the house has an appraised value of $2,000,000, she's theoretically paid the Jarvis family $4,000,000 for the house.  The bank would loan Leslie 80% of the appraised value ($1,600,000), and Leslie had to pay the balance with cash at closing --- $2,200,000.  She only had ONE million.  Where the hell did she get the rest?!  And now she's got contractors working on the house all day & half the night.  Who's paying THEM?  I keep thinking all this will crash around her.  Either that or the writers have absolutely no idea the limits of a million dollars.  Sounds like a "lot of money", but it obviously ain't when we look at Leslie's spending since she got that million dollar check in August.

    • Vernon is an idiot. Why would he have Sharon in the same hotel that Leslie is staying at?
    • Yes, that out of the blue return was odd. Maybe GG found a forgotten clause in the contract he signed when he was wooed to ABC and they were forced to take him back! Like George Reinholt he talked about the contract that promised him primetime roles. But it was loaded in the networks favor. I think it was Gloria Loring that re-signed at Days on the promise of primetime opportunities, but that was all it was- she was put up for guest spots and TV movies but not necessarily guaranteed that she get the role.
    • I still am baffled by why Monty brought back stunt hire Gerald Gordon in the early '80s out of nowhere for like a year. I haven't found anyone who can come up with a thing he did in that second stint of note.
