Yeah, I had the same thought process as you, thought it might be Claire but then saw what Claire's wearing in the other pic. The only Melinda I've ever really known save for a couple of clips is NOP's. Really wish I could catch some of the early Dorian/Melinda relationship, the original Cramer Women (decades before that phrase was coined).

When I've read about Lee Remick and Sheree North being the next "Marilyn" I kinda go :blink: on that too, I don't really see it. Not that Marilyn didn't become a great actress once she got with Strasberg, but I think even Erika would rather be compared with ladies like Judi Dench, Glenda Jackson, Vanessa Redgrave. Okay, but truthfully, what woman wouldn't be flattered by a MM comparison? ^_^

Really nice article, a great glimpse of where she was, especially knowing where she would be. Have you watched her TV archive interview? She talks a little more about her early life in the theatre and her first marriage, I think it's one of the better-paced and interesting of those interviews.

SFK is probably going to explain this better than I can, as I am awful at explaining things, but what I did was scan a page onto my computer, then crop the page to the section which I most think is interesting (I usually just post photos and type up articles if they don't have photos). After the photo is saved, jpeg or jpg or whatever it would be, I go to Photobucket (there are others too - I haven't gotten around to trying those yet) and upload the photo there. On the page for the photo at Photobucket, you can click on the link given for IMG code, and it will cut and paste. Then you cut and paste that link here, and the photo will come up here.

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay.
    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
