Speaking of threads, I'm never sure where to put these types of articles but there is a brief mention of Tamara Tunie in this one. Apparently she's in talks with the Harlem School of the Arts to produce a musical there.

I can't believe that Marland never brought her back for a short term stint as she was James' sister...(he even brought Greta back and I don't think most people knew who she was) and her contentious relationship with John.  She was probably not Marland's cup of tea as while she was a social climbing "bad girl" it was played for laughs (none of her schemes ever worked..) and Marland was not great with humor. ..(okay so it was the Dobsons so Ariel verged on camp..0

If Ariel was more campy, ATWT should've brought her back in the show's final decade when they could've used her the most. 

 

James was still showing up in the late 90s/early-mid 2000s and having his sister there might have at least helped keep the character from going too far over the edge into caricature, which is what the James Stenbeck character ultimately morphed into in his final years on the show.

Actually, I don't think we ever saw Todd, but James blackmailed her as Todd was a teacher who was gay..or did gay porn.  That was pretty intense for the early 80s and while it was a plot point, it was a rare "real" moment during the Dobsons run...and helped Karen get a bit more depth.

 

Dano was terrible as Cynthia..just not the right role for her (would have been funny if they had made her more Felicia like, in stark contrast to boring Ellen, and she could have hung around with Lisa who would have loved to bug Ellen) but the audience knew she was not meant to be long term as David would get back to Ellen.

 

Burke....I mean, they just had the broads chasing him for the fortune but anyone in their right mind would have been after him!!!
