Frost played a more mature, and boring Betsy. I never really felt she fit in, even with Kim or Ellen.

Collier gave wood a bad name.  His ripped abs aside, he was unremarkable in scenes.

I really enjoyed Collier. I'll never forget the day he washed Jenn's hair. WHOA. Talk about showing intimacy, without any pretending at sex!!! That really did the trick.

I loved Suzanne Davidson. I agree the writing for Frost echoed back to Davidson's version of the character.  Frost did seem to get the fuzzy end of the lollipop in terms of writing--breaking up with Steve, and romances with Seth and Josh.

LOL..you could have left off..."gave a bad name" and there you have it, well at least he did give me a woodie...(ha-ha)  I never was that into abs, but thought he just was more handsome then the usual soap "studs" and brought a "really, you think I'm good looking?" vibe to it. Frost had good chemistry with the Craig actor and thought she fit in well with her TV family...I never really felt Ryan connect to anyone but Steve..( and I love Lyla giving Betsy hell...) To each their own!!!!

I agree. MC was HOT!!! And I thought one of the best actors on the show. I loved his Mike. I loved him with Katie. (But I'm the rando who loved Katie so I enjoyed all of her pairings except Chris at the end.) MC was one of the few male actors on soaps who seemed to be able cry on cue. I thought it gave Mike a sensitivity that was refreshing from cold-as-ice Snyder studs. (Though I of course LOVED them as well. They were just different.)

Do you have any with Marland's first run on ATWT, before The Dobson's took over? From my understanding they asked for an extension to wrap up the rape storyline. I could be wrong.

[Mitch64]

its on Youtube...try searching "Lisa at the Willows" and some of it comes up.Yes, the Dobs wanted to finish up some GL stuff and were forced into moving to ATWT...and it showed.

They make it more difficult to watch as they just put it up in blocks with no dates given, but still, I'm grateful to get to see the material. The most interesting part of his run was the hints surrounding Bob, John, and Kim (and the suggestion of bringing Penny back).

[Soapsuds]

I felt the same way about Mark Collier.

It's weird that Marland was introducing those elements as he was only supposed to be short term?  I also would like to know if he started the "Joyce is back" story sending Nancy and Chris to San Francisco..(perhaps Joyce would see them there and follow them home.)

I don't want to spam a video everywhere so I'll just say that I put a video in the Love is a Many Splendored Thing thread that I think has Rita Walter at around 27 minutes.
