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:
Cast: Belle, Bo, Brandon, Carrie, Eric, Greta, Hope as Gina/Gina, John, Kurt, Marlena, Sami, Stefano, Doug, Julie, Belle's Friend, Hope (FBO), Ernesto (FBO).

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 don't think Chelsea has a true label just yet. She's just finding out she has an interest in women. I think the awkwardness is aligned with the character as we've seen. This is the fool who keeps filming her family when embarrassing things happen and live streaming it. I actually think it's refreshing she isn't just jumping into a relationship  and that they're playing the beats of her trying to figure out who she is.
    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set it ablaze?). Victoria briefly moved into the ranch after the fire, with Claire, Johnny and Katie, I think? Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole then moved into the tack house as soon as Teriah left. I guess Victoria's children Johnny and Katie would live with Victoria at the tack house eventually? But Johnny and Katie went to boarding school during the school year. Not sure if we'll see Johnny and Katie for the summer vacation or where they would live.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it.
