I've always liked Brenda Strong. It will be nice to see her not play a dead character. Chris B, your post has me even more excited now for Dallas. I think it will work very well on a cable network like TNT. I believe most remakes/reboots that have plagued the broadcast networks would have worked FAR better on cable.

Ugh, Lord please help me to get over my Jesse Metcalfe hate so I can enjoy this show. I rolleyes.gif at his, "It pushed the envelope", boy, wtf do you know about DALLAS? And then again at, "It's in our DNA." Bitch, you're ADOPTED. Deep breath, moving on...

Jordana Brewster and Josh Henderson are capable actors.

The problem is Jesse Metcalf, he's just a straight up shitty actor. He's playing Miguel-Lopez-Fitzgerald-John-Rowland-John-Tucker...he just sucks. That being said, he being cast as Bobby's son will simply help me root even harder for John-Ross, which is what I would have done regardless. I usually root for the villains!

I got to work on Dallas again and it was an even better experience. Still didn't get to work with any of the original cast, but that's okay. My goal is to hopefully be asked back one more time and then I will die a happy man. And if the show is successful I'll definitely try again. I think Josh Henderson is going to be brilliant on this show.

I think if Victoria does appear they'll keep it a secret. The show is filming in Dallas and they can easily limit her stuff to the soundstage and nobody will know that she ever came. I'd prefer it that way. They could have her appear in the teaser and they'd have the entire next week to promote it. I worry too much will be revealed too soon. For example, the second episode I did was a major buzzy-cliffhanger and I'll be so disappointed if word gets out. The original was known for those shocking moments that were actually kept secret so I'd like to see that continue. I also imagine if Audrey Landers appears they'll keep that a secret. In her interview with Ultimate Dallas she confirmed she talked to producers, but couldn't say a yes or no about a return. And Cathy Podewell also literally lives on the same street as Cynthia Cidre and her character had a child with JR so she could also pop up anytime.

Right now we are still in wait and see mode.

    • Did Denise give any interviews where she talked about her first few years on GH... '73-75? I wonder if she had any regrets leaving Days for GH, as from what I've read, the show was in the dumps writing-wise, so am thinking she didn't have great story? Any Leslie story highlights I've seen always start with '76, after Gloria Monty took charge.
    • I know! It's like second verse, here we go again!  Agreed. Certainly there was concern maybe even fear at the highest levels for the very good reason that what they had was so economically successful, so of course this risk was scary but if anyone was brave she was. Yes, he was. I have seen her associated with getting it on the air one other place but no details nor official title. Not the writer or creator so it made me wonder if she functioned as a kind of uncredited ad hoc producer, but then maybe she just supported it. At any rate that is nothing but supposition on my part. No data! Yes, not a surprise anymore but still so frustrating! On one hand I am appreciative that she is included in this book, but scholarship where are you?!
    • that wasnt her point. She wanted to further demonize Ted; that was the main focus of their talk. She wants to ensure that Nicole leaves him so that he's free and single to be with her. At this point, I dont think she really cares what Nicole thinks of her; she just wants her out of the way Eva is Nicole's stepdaughter and is a Dupree by association. If Nicole takes Ted back then its reasonable that she would accept his daughter and i that happens, Eva will have welcomed to their country club, be invited to their parties, have access to their resources, etc....much like Andre whom also isnt a blood Dupree but is accepted by them via Nicole. Eva got what she got from Anita bc of Hayley. I think its important to remember that context bc they just dealt with an interloper that infiltrated their ranks and hurt her daughter in the worse way. Now you have another unfortunate girl positioned to do the same to her other daughter. The feelings are still too fresh and she doesnt want Eva to get the idea that she would ever be allowed the opportunity to play them again
    • Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect! Oh I've seem this! That's part of why I'm curious! The show could put EastEnders to shame on the gangster Aspect!
    • Eve was one of those characters that had the "Jessie Brewer"role. They had heavy storyline, they burned through it and now they are there for support and a touchstone in the community (Marland wanted to give Jessie story, but I agree with Monty...she best served in her connecting role, and keeping that damn Amy Vining busy so she keeps her nose out of things) So charcters are important and why they should have kept characters like Bridget around (even as she is more volatiles then Eve) who didnt need a big storyline but could have been behind the bar making connections and expostion, but Rauch wanted JEVA/JEVA/JEVA and DRAMA (which to him meant a lot of yelling and stupidity.)
    • Why do I feel like (or remember possible

    • A number of errors in the above article. You wonder how with all that research,how  they slipped through. I think they are conflating Women Alone with Lonely Women. I have never read anything of a serial called Women Alone. However,I am prepared to be proven wrong.   It seems Irna actually WAS interested in TV soaps as witnessed by These Are My Children airing in 1949 on NBC in the early days of TV.   I don't believe that was reluctance, rather simply good business sense as radio's dominance began to wane.   Inferring that was somehow connected to Irna who was off that show 10 years prior.   Again inferring that Phillips leaving 6 years prior had some connection to the eventual cancellation.     Again these two events are in fact one. Irna left ATWT only once in 1970 and returned in 72. She was not working on another P&G show at the time. So either she brought the ratings up or they dipped, depending on which above account you believe   Untrue. A World Apart debuted 5 years after she left AW. And AWA aired longer than a few months. Over a year in fact.   I believe Orin Tovrov was the writer. Irna was not involved in the creation of this show. And no mention of Masquerade an Irna serial  which was on air around this time.   TBD finished in 1962. As we see over and over, these inaccuracies are published and accepted as fact.
    • YES! While I objectively found the writing on RH (particularly during its first few years and then again in its final days) to be excellent, so many of the principle characters were unpleasant, and totally turned me off. I could never settle down and become emotionally involved with a group of people who grated on my nerves.
    • Ugh now we get a Emmerdale and Corrie crossover soon. ugh.. How desperate
