So I thought it was the first Mimi Doren Fein.  Looked that up and was wrong.  It appears to be an actress named Kelly Cohen who is just credited as "Belle's friend"

It looks like 9/6-9/10/99 she appeared.  

I guess she bridged the gap between Fein and Farah Fath.  Because it's the week before Farah starts appearing.

As Caroline explained above, this is Kelly Cohen, who was listed in the credits as Belle's Friend. She was never called Mimi on-air, just an unnamed friend, and as Caroline and I expect, just a filler as they were recasting the Mimi role eventually with Farah.

She only appeared in one episode: 

8627...9/10/99:

With the disclaimer that, at the time, I loved Bo/Carly 1.0 [and me, a big Bo/Hope fan!]...well, after the whole utter mess with Nelson Branco, Crystal Chappell, and Kristian Alfonso on Twitter during Carly 2.0, I'm inclined to agree.

I wasn't sorry to see Chappell go after Round 2.

That's odd. Can't recall the magazine or interview, but in one such article, CC seemed to really like Peter Reckell. (This is during her first stint. I remember that much.)

I do know she HATED RKK, but it seems all the actresses did.

I do remember she seemed peeved that Reckell wasn't all that eager to jump into the fray during her second go-round, especially since - if I recall - Reckell wasn't exactly thrilled with how Bo was being written during that time.

Well, not if one was a Santa Barbara viewer (but it was a short-term role). She played Jane (I think it was her name!) just before Days, around '89/early '90, a fellow reporter friend of Eden Capwell.

If I recall, Jane was a drug addict or something. Forgot the whole plot, but I think she ended up being killed off. Months later, she popped up as Carly on Days.

IMDB and her wiki is telling me that her role on SB was 5 episodes.  She also played Nico's nurse on AMC for unknown episodes.  So I would still stand by that fact that she was mostly unknown unless you were paying very close attention.

I'm pretty sure she was on for more than 5 episodes. (Anyone can edit IMDB. I have. LOL!)

And I wasn't saying she was famous or anything, just that I recognized her from that other role.

I do remember she just seemed to hit the ground running with Justin/Adrienne, and it went from there. But her screen time seemed substantial for such a newbie. I always felt for Susan Diol. If I recall, Bo was involved with her character, Emmy. No great love since Bo just lost Hope, but I got the sense it was sort of being bandied about. But then Carly came on the scene, Emmy became nuts and was killed off, and that was that.

It was a beach in Tahiti, not Salem. Colin Jost was just there doing the surfing reporting for the Olympics.

    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
