How has it been 11 years and these people still look the same. My god. Soaps stars have great genetics it seems.

 

It's a combo of good genetics, good health, good skin care, and good plastic surgery.

Bottom of the barrel . Who was Ava? I think I stopped watching when she appeared.

Fake lesbians , awful obscure characters and Frank.

Could they get any duller? As much as I find Frankie boring, he was on there long enough, he should be included with some other vets . Rafe????

This one I will definitely skip. If Frank has anything interesting to say I'm sure we'll hear about it.

 

Why did Alan choose these people? Clueless..

Yikes. No thanks

 

That's my birthday (it's a Wednesday, not a Friday) so of course it's like the worst grouping ever

 

I get he's trying to do groupings that make sense and also getting people who we haven't heard from yet but I'd love a mixing of the groups instead of ... this.

I'm going to sound like Polyanna. I'm thankful for any of them who appear on these interviews. I think the ones who weren't on that long or had minor storylines might be more interesting than those who spent decades on the show but who won't answer honestly or hold back. It would be nice to get direct/truthful replies from anyone.

I don't begrudge them this as there were a number of fans who loved the Otalia story - it got the show more press than it had had in years (not that it mattered). It's more Crystal's antics after the show that annoyed me more.

Iconic episode.  Beverlee was so awesome.  Iniitial scene between Reva and Alex was fabulous.  Krista's acting is so poor. And I never liked the actress playing Mother Reardon.

Peggy had had a long history with the show, and was tied to the Bauers and the Thorpes. While she may not have had a lot of story purpose in the late 1970s, that was not always the case. I personally adored her and was sorry to see her go.

I’m more interested in why Fran Myers came back for a six month stint after two years away that went nowhere. 
 

I guess a check is a check tho.

Perhaps TPTB had had plans for her which just did not seem to jell. It's like bringing Jacqueline Courtney back to Another World in 1984 to so much fanfare...and then barely using her and dropping her from contract a year later.

 

Anyway, as you say, from Myers' POV, a check was a check!

I wonder if they brought her back for Roger's rape trial. 

 

Did Fran Rogers want to leave?
