Emma was much better in the last season but generally I think she just lacked spark. I have not seen any of this from her in a majority of her roles. I haven't watched a lot of her first GH run so perhaps she was better there. From the start of her Fallon run she was all but comatose, whereas PSM, even though she clearly was checked out and dreary in her last few years, still had a bit more life in her.

I mostly remember Brewster whining and the show not knowing where to go with her (that thing with Andy seemed so random). I guess being saddled with Kerr Smith didn't help her. And that summer where she and Dani said "my guy" so many times I hoped Mary Wells would rise up. I mostly just enjoyed her scenes with Hal.

Oh no, you didn't!! :o

What horrible lines, "Time portal, ACTIVATE!" And Douglas Cramer should have hung his head in SHAME for licensing footage from Space:1999 for a Wonder Woman episode, when the show had only been off the air for mere months. Ted sure looked purty in his silver condom, though :)

Except 90210. for some reason that has stumped me, it just finished it's 3rd season and going onto the 4th. I was an avid fan of the original and i have them all on DVD now but i just could not get into the new show. Maybe because i saw that girl who plays Naomi pretty much naked on Nip Tuc. Thinking she was a high school sophmore (when it started) was just too unreal for me. (and yet I bought Andrea Zuckermen, no problem. LOL)but i'm actually willing to give it a second try next year when the kids hit college. At least it will be a little more easier to take.

If they do Dallas right, it could really work. Perhaps one of the only shows in history to have two long running shows of the same thing. They need to focuss on John Ross and Christopher mostly. They can't rely too heavely on the older ones like JR and the rest. It will be nice to see them, hopefully for a long while but if the acting isn't right for Jon ross or Chris, it will fail.

I would assume that the main focus of this new version will be on John Ross, Christopher, and the rest of the younger cast since they are the new generation of Ewings. They are the ones who are ultimately going to have to carry this show. The original characters are just there to help facilitate the process so to speak.

Of course it will be about the younger kids, the older actor will be lucky to get on season 2 if its picked up. We have seen this with the new Melrose place, one tree hill, 90210, etc. They only want the older actors on the show for the validity.

CLIFF BARNES Returns! :)http://www.tvguide.com/News/Cliff-Barnes-Dallas-1037312.aspx

This is exciting news! I wonder if they'll reshoot things and go back to the original plan of having Rebecca be Cliff's daughter Pamela Rebecca. That would make the most sense. I do like that he'll be appearing for multiple episodes, INCLUDING the season finale, which suggests he'll play an important supporting role. This is shaping up to be interesting. I can't wait for shooting to begin so we can get a better sense of things. So nice to know Cliff will have his hands involved in another season finale.

I would like to see Victoria Principal back as Pam. She could've thought she was dying and made a new life in order to spare Bobby, Cliff and Christopher from any more heartache and pain. Or perhaps Katherine Wentworth had a hand in her disappearance from the hospital and kept Pam away all these years and told her Bobby had died or moved on with his life. Could you see Pam walking up on Southfork and saying "hello Bobby." We would have another triangle with Ann/Bobby/Pam like we did with Jenna/Bobby/Pam.

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
