I too did not see any hint of shade from LW. Zero. She was classy. 
 

I had to laugh at Wes Ramsey’s ‘poetry’. Poetry is all about subtext, images, saying something while meaning another. That piece was a long Instagram caption. 
 

I’ve been meaning to ask- was Ken Reade (Holly’s brother) a retcon or had he been on the show before?

Ken was on the show in the early to mid '70s. 

 

I did like Wes on GL (although the push in the press about him being the new Michael Zaslow really annoyed me and made me sour on him initially) but the best thing he's ever done was when he took off his clothes in various '00s indie movies.

She was a terrible Annie but it was also too soon to go to that well which had run dry near Watros leaving.  MADD loved her formula and if she thought something worked she just repeated and repeated...

 

I thought her character should have been a nut that Annie seduced (I would have it be real but we could leave it ambiguous) into going back to SF for revenge. Maybe she was a cop obsessed with Annie and assigned to catching but obsessed with her.  Or just a nut who thinks she is Annie but is not. 

 

I love how Newman was making fun of that storyline and the infamous "Sit DOWN, Josh!"

 

Having Ken form a bond with Annie would be way too deep and complex for Rauch/Madd.

I think there was some tension there as Michelle became very prominent, very very quickly. It was also a very demanding storyline. Kim mentioned in some interviews about how difficult the big climax to the Sonni/Solita story was, taking place on a rope bridge, how frightened she was because of how nervous Forbes was, and how she (Kim) had to take several swigs of vodka to get through.

I know the old story was that Elvera Roussell was fired to show that anyone could be fired (which if true shows the lack of logic going on with Kobe and P&G considering she'd only been on the show 4 years and they ended up dumping most of the characters on the canvas anyway...), but she still had a lot to give - it seems like she was becoming more and more interesting as she left.

What before she left in November 1983...Pam Long seemed like she was starting a war of the Rose's divorce story with Alan and Hope..than poof.. Hope was gone. 

 

After the way Marland diluted Hope..it seemed as if Long was finally caught giving Hope some character again.

 

It seemed like Kobe was more the problem than Long during this time frame.

She also had issues on DAYS. Yet she also had a ton of friends there. So ... it can go both ways, lol. I'd hang out with both her and Zimmer as they get drunk and spill the tea ...

 

It's really sad so many leading ladies have "issues" with each other, that are likely blown vastly out of proportion.
