I loved her on Soap and Benson. I wish her GL run was available. Wasn't there something about Roger making a move on her and she said no but she left her white gloves behind? She was also with Ed wasn't she?

It's something that she was on GL for that many years.

She was also the first Tracy on AW right?

f Light was still on I would still have my characters - however I just wished GL had a EP and writer that would have taken care of it EW and DK helped kill GL then DK went to ATWT and killed that show and now AMC hired him to write and now I am worried what is going to happen to that show - he just might go to show to show till there will be no soaps left - why anyone hires DK I just don't understand.

:unsure:

BTW - MAMMA MIA! is now officially the 12th longest-running show in Broadway history after surpassing the record previously held by landmark musical Grease (3,388 performances) on Christmas Day, December 25, 2009. The hit musical has also surpassed the record breaking runs of legendary musicals such as Fiddler on the Roof; Hello, Dolly!; Annie; My Fair Lady and the original run of Cabaret.

MAMMA MIA! also had its best eight-performance week on Broadway ever, grossing $1,315,354 Million for the New Year's week ending January 3, 2010.

The previous New Year's record set by MAMMA MIA! for an

eight-performance week was in January 2009 with $1,261,938.

As crazy as it was and crazy as it may sound looking back I have to admit did thoroughly enjoyed GL in 1998, it was 1999 that was the killer aside from the Jesse/Drew stuff and early San Cristobel. Though I never understood the whole cloning bit, and I never will. Hell they could have gotten the same ratings if a drunk Josh ran into a red-headed Reva doppelganger, instantly fell in love with her image of his "dead" wife as she did with him and then hired her to play Reva. You would have gotten the same great campy scenes and storyline.

For some reason it seems like longer than a year to me. Perhaps because the GL I most remember was gone a long time ago. Yet other days I feel like it was just last week.

Here's the first part of a 1982 episode. That has some really wonderful camp scenes with Helena/Quint, some warm Bauer moments, and Kelly in a white Speedo!

I guess this is old news but I was looking in the new Digest and Jerry ver Dorn said that he had the scripts for his return as Ross, he would basically speak as a ghost to Ed and then to Blake. But ABC wouldn't let him appear. He said he lives near where they filmed the weddings in the last episodes so he was out there on a boat watching them.

    • The recast really tanked the character.  I was team Sophia when Madelyn Kientz played her.  I liked her more than Holly.  Now Sophia just walks around on the verge of tears looking meek and scared.  I think now that the show has recast and aged Ari, Sophia is probably on her way out.

    • I apologize in advance for asking y'all questions about who half these people are or what they're doing as I reenter this show after quite awhile.
    • Speaking of that story, it led me to this scene, which was part of a story I despised (it was one of the reasons I would skip wide swathes of the show at this time), but is another reminder of what a good actress Kim Zimmer was when given the material. I was a fan of Edmund's in spite of the many bad things he did - I think I was mostly just a fan of DAM, but I did often feel sorry for Edmund - but this story is one time where if Reva had put a cap in his ass, I would have been perfectly satisfied. There are so many stories Edmund survived that by many rights he shouldn't have...again, credit to DAM here. Maybe he had his own version of the Bradley Cole stans. Good for them. I always thought Mark Dobies (RIP) and Kim had some decent chemistry, even if the relationship was one of many discarded for "always." This for me was Beth's absolute dumbest story, which is saying a hell of a lot. I wonder how Beth Chamberlin felt about it. She always had chemistry with DAM, but chemistry was not enough for her to wander around that cardboard castle for months enabling and being such a smug princess.

    • Not much happened today, but there were a lot of good scenes. It was nice seeing people have someone to talk to about everything that’s been going on, especially Chad and EJ. I liked that Chad was there for him after what happened with Johnny yesterday. EJ convincing Chad to vote for him at the board meeting could lead to something interesting happening as well.  I also enjoyed seeing Kayla, Julie and Maggie all going head to head with Xander. The writing seems to have improved for all three of them.  NuRachel did a good job too. Just the way she delivers her lines sounds less evil than the other one did lol I still think that there’s something more to what she told Brady and Kristen. And I’m glad that Brady ripped EJ too. It was very well deserved, and I hope it was the first time of many. Belle was a little stupid in that scene though.  Btw, I didn’t expect the fate of the hospital to be all up to Brady lol  And, we got an update about Bo. It would be nice to see it though. I’m enjoying all these storylines, but too much of it seems to be happening offscreen. 
    • It's those Shayne genes, as Reva is also healed from blindness about 5 years later.
