Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Because it was the right thing to do. Any lack of story was due to backstage drama. Leanna should've been back YEARS ago. If anybody should be running Restless Style it's her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Not just Jill. Leanna has history with almost everyone (Victor, Nikki, Ashley, Jack, Brad, Diane, John, Gina, Michael, Katherine). She (like Diane) should have never been let go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Was the backstage drama over ageism issues, or some personality thing with Quinn Redeker? There's a lot you could do with Leanna. I always have crazy ideas for her - I would have her host some show that is half tabloid and half morality tale, maybe with someone like Billy. A new feud with Jill would be a lot of fun. Unfortunately the show doesn't seem to do "fun" anymore, unless you count the hilarity of the Angelinos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Some of it was ageism & some of it was other drama (nothing to do with Redeker or Cooper). The understatement of the year. Though scenes with Leanna would be fun Jill would be better in a stable relationship. Leanna (like Diane) plays better with Nikki & Ashley. Or Gloria. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 It's a tried overuse question, but just to rant.... WHY THE HECK DOES MARIA THINK HER PRIMETIME NOBODY'S AND FORMER SOAP STARS FROM OTHER SOAPS ARE WORTH A DAMN THEN BRINGING BACK THE REAL STARS OF Y&R LIKE FREAKING LEANNA LOVE?!?!?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I keep forgetting about Leanna's history with Ashley - little things like trying to kill her and stalking her ex. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Had to get that off my chest, haha. why did all these other backstage issues cause problems for actors that had nothing to do with them it seems like? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I know Eileen's Ashley was a more aggressive Ashley than Brenda's, but did Eileen's Ashley ever really have a serious confrontation with other women in her first run? Or is that something they adjusted to the character after Shari Shattuck's...interpretation, and Eileen playing a villain on DAYS? Did Brenda ever have any good confrontations with others? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Ashley's only rivals during her first stint were Jill, Dina and Nikki and I don't recall any confrontations beyond verbal with those three, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Many (mainly with Dina, Nikki, Diane & Jill). Shari's Ashley was just horrible. Her Ashley was cheap (and not in the good way). It was her Ashley that competed with Victoria for Cole (something Ashley would NEVER do) She had a few scenes with Nikki, Traci & with Mari Jo towards the end of her run. But Brenda was always too sweet to make them work. Edited March 3, 2012 by DeeeDee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Thanks for sharing that article. How shameful that the Abbots are pretty much non-existent now. I loved reading about the breakfast scenes. I didn't realize that they served them real food for those scenes. It must have been nice to not have to worry about getting a bite to eat before going to the studio, knowing that you would get to eat while doing your job. haha. Aww reading about Terry Lester during those scenes, made me sad. He sounded like a really funny great guy. Besides Jerry's conflict with Brenda (Dickson) it seems like (with the exception of Bergman on occasion) the Abbott's in real life are the most drama free people on the set of Y&R. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 I loved that article (and that series of articles). Thanks for sharing it, it's a nice memory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
