I know Barbara wants a man....on the show. I don't know if it would happen but i wouldn't mind it. I hope it's not Mario Cantone. I like him but it spurtz. I could not see him being on every day. That voice! Although i woudn't mind a gay man like Thomas Roberts

For a straight man my choice is always Rob Lowe. I wouldn't be suprised if it was Cameron Mattherson, he seems to be poping up everywhere and he's a total "A-kisser."

I don't think any of the old people should come back. They've had their chance. Let someone else give it a shot. I know Barbara hinted that she did ask Monica Lewinski. She was on David Lettermen's show and was very vauge about it. That would be interesting.

The problem with the view is that what made it interesting - 5 different women with different backgrounds and different views - are gona. They need a respected news anchor, a conservative, a liberal, someone in the middle, etc. there shouldn't be so many comedians. They need someone young and new as well.

I liked the original lineup which featured fairly unknown women. I know some of them had some local visibility but they weren't celebs. I hate that as the show progressed, they only looked at "names" to fill the spot. Its all about stars and celebs. Rosie O'Donnell? Whoopi Goldberg? Jenny McCarthy? IMO, should have never joined the panel (even if Rosie gave us some good clashes with Elizabeth, that helped continue the ugly turn the show was going in after Starr's final season) I don't think they can do a revamp with complete unknowns but they should have been hiring them as they started phasing some of the other women out.

I do kind of agree that both Jenny and Sherri are too alike. they both think they are young and trendy. They both had slightly disabled children. I assume they are both democrat although i know Sherri changes her mind on a dailey basis because politics is a little too over her head (She'd rather talk about Dancing with the stars of real housewives of whatever all day.) Although i'd take Sherri any day over that loud mouth Sheryl Underwood from The Talk.

It would be nice to find two unknowns who are very different to join the show. Like someone said, it was originally a show about four women with different backgrounds idea's and views. Merridith the working mother, Star the attorney, Debbie the young one and Joy the comedian. and then Barbara the veteran.

I hope it does but if someone good doesn't come on next season, I can see the raitings tank! Barbara was the only reason the show lasted so long. She may have her haters (especially on this board) but she was good for the show and she's the only reason it survived 17 seasons. Lord knows it wasn't because of Star, Rosie or Whoopie(Although i do like Whoopie and her old movies).

    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
    • Tessa clarified a few years ago that she is gay and not bi.   I find it offensive that the show is teasing her with Daniel. Mariah told Sharon she went emotionally/mentally to a dark place, and while she was out of town on business she got drunk and did something bad.  But Mariah didn't say she cheated.  The show wants us to assume that, but she didn't say that.  She could have taken drugs or who knows what.  All we know is that she feels shame and doesn't want Tessa to know.  Mariah says the inner darkness is due to the longterm influence of Ian in the past, and she hasn't healed from that. With a *good* writer, we could have organic conflict in the Teriah marriage, without cheating.  But JG isn't a good writer.  
    • Was that before his accident? I think it was. Most of us have never seen him before it happened.
