I'm surprised it wasn't Meg Ryan's picture. 😂 OOOOPS.

 

Here's a funny story of Lucas and his teammates flipping through channels and what they saw:

I had forgotten she was with Rick Giolito. I didn't know she had a son with him either. I thought Rick was hot during his time on ATWT. Too bad he turned out to be a villain on the show. Here is a pic of Lindsey and her son…its a few years old..

Thanks for finding that with Lindsey Frost. 

 

Is this Don Hastings doing the voiceover for Johnson and Johnson? The guy in the ad is so familiar, as is the woman in the last ad (Susan Brown is in one of the others).

I loved her as Betsy, she made the character less stupid.

 

I didn't know that she was going to be cast in A League of Their Own.. but had to back out of it.. and was replaced by Madonna.  So I guess baseball was always in her blood in one way or another.

Frost was a very good actress, much better than Ryan, but she had ZERO chemistry with Frank Runyeon. Ryan did have a quality that made you watch her on camera. I don't think the writers knew what to do with an intelligent Betsy.

Even though I also liked Frost, I struggle to think which male co-star she had actual chemistry with besides Scott Bryce, which they were not going to revisit the Betsy/Craig partnering (for obvious reasons).

They sort of threw her together with Steve Bassett for a moment but I didn't see anything between those two, it often seemed like temporary filler, TBH. 

William Fichtner who portrayed a highly problematic character, had powerful chemistry with Jennifer Ashe.

Based on the actual cast, the choices were very limited for Frost's Betsy. I'd say close to nonexistent.

The lack of chemistry didn't bother me that much as to me Marland's ATWT wasn't really a hotbed of passionate pairings. Meg/Josh and later Jessica/Duncan are two of my main exceptions.

 

I do think they had written Betsy into a corner, especially once they separated her from the Hughes family. She should have been re-integrated during the period when Julianne's Frannie was being phased out.

I actually think that HBS' Margo and Gregg Marx's Tom were very passionate. There's not much to show on YT but it was there.  People will fight me on this but I'd say the same of Craig and Sierra, during that time.

 

The lack of romantic chemistry for Frost's Betsy didn't bother me either because there should always be a place for single characters and at that point Betsy was a strong enough character to have stood apart but this was the era of The Supercouple, which I suspected might have had something with the diminishing of characters who were not coupled up (with a few exceptions).

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
