Members DRW50 Posted December 30, 2017 Author Members Share Posted December 30, 2017 I wonder what role Jason Alexander would have gone up for. One of the Williams? Or Traci's professor boyfriend? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 30, 2017 Members Share Posted December 30, 2017 There's an episode of Diagnosis Murder where Michelle Stafford is a guest star, LOL. I was a bit surprised to see her there, TBH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aback Posted December 31, 2017 Members Share Posted December 31, 2017 I remember that! She did not interact with VR though, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted December 31, 2017 Members Share Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Nope. LOL. Credit to Victoria Rowell though, because as one of the show's stars, had she wanted to actually block Stafford from the show, she probably could've done it but I don't think Rowell would block another actor from being able to work.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 9, 2018 Members Share Posted January 9, 2018 Y&R has had chances to show true classic episodes over the years. That episode where Katherine pleads with him to stay would've been a powerful one. Instead we get "classics" from a year ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yrfan1983 Posted January 9, 2018 Members Share Posted January 9, 2018 I can't believe DR was on the show for less than 2 years. His character influenced plot for the next 40 years! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted January 9, 2018 Members Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) Bill Bell Sr. sure wrote his characters to be highly memorable! Today's soap writers seem to struggle with this, which is why we often get legacy characters and popular characters from the past being revived and the stories often still flop! One thing I noticed about the DR tweets on social media-- most of the plaudits and condolences are from fans of BSG, Soap, even the Golden Girls and Empty Nest, with a lot from fans of various Canadian shows over the decades like Da Vinci's Inquest but very few regarding his Y&R work. Yes, he was only on two years but his character's influence lasted decades, as @yrfan1983 said. I suspect many, from today's showrunners to the majority of today's soap bloggers really don't know all that much about his work.
