Utterly harmless. :lol:

She seems to have a very nice personal life that she finds great satisfaction in. She also strikes me as a perfectionist verging on control freak and I think her always being so "on" in interviews is perhaps a symptom of that. She tends to speak in sound bites and when she was on The Wendy Williams Show this last time there was even a moment where she got tongue tied as the line of questioning took her off script and she had to recalculate like a GPS. It is abundantly clear that we do not get the REAL SL who farts and shouts "Cahksukker!" in traffic and I really wish we did but that's her prerogative. Her lack of candor frustrates me and that's what makes her truly genuine moments so :wub: . And I do think she has talent (not enough to be sangin' on B'way) but like Joan Collins she's more of an avatar than an actress at this point.

Maybe ABC is not giving much information to the press or not letting them interview people in fear of what may be said. They really don't want interviews to go out with actors critiquing the network...

I think a LOT of that has changed since she did DWTS, though. She sorta fell out of the mainstream spotlight after winning the Emmy, but then DWTS put her back into a place that was beyond daytime, beyond her little empire, etc. She's loosened up a lot of the last two or so years, and I really enjoy it. As much as I loathe late night talk shows and the (mostly) obnoxious jackasses who host them, she does good as a guest in that format where she isn't so "on." We would have never gotten the Tonight Show SuLu on The View or Live with Reege'n'em.

Just from some of the responses on the fan page are sick and revolting

It's called the business world soap opera's are on the decline and you can't stop it if they are losing money and putting money out. Why should Payless be blamed then boycott everything. People amaze me.

    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.
