At least Dixie/Cady McClain still had normal hair in that clip even if she was a mess. Some of her hair choices down the line were quite questionable, including the horrid Dutch boy cut, and IMO, the pixie cut she had at one point did her no favors, either.

The Dutch boy was one of the worst haircuts I've seen on any soap...I think she chopped or changed it again right before leaving and it was a bit better.

 

The pixie hair she said in one interview made people repeatedly ask if she was a lesbian, to the point where she began to wonder herself.

Gloria....an interesting character right up till 1995 before the show seemed unable to figure out what to do with her...she briefly was in the Dr. Kinder story as his assistant...briefly flirted with jack...then tried to be Tad's quirky girlfriend before becoming Dimitri's stepford wife.

 

Ironically..the last few weeks of her stint..she was more like the Gloria of 1991 to 1995...instantly figuring Ryan as a con artist...before opting to move to sunny California.

 

I liked Dixie's hair in the online version of AMC the best.

I liked the character of Gloria.  Teresa Blake had chemistry with a lot of actors on the canvas and she was able to hold her own in scenes with David Canary.  I agree that after 1995, she kind of floated around and didn't have a real purpose.  I still wonder about Teresa Blake; she just fell off the face of the earth.

I think she very nearly left in 1995 until the last minute - I do wish they'd done more with her. I liked her relationship with Dimitri and I thought it could have gone somewhere.

 

I remember her last episode being preempted by the Lewinsky scandal. I don't think I ever got to see it. It still annoys me. 

 

If it weren't for Megan McTavish returning right as Gloria was leaving I kind of wonder if she would have had as much of a goodbye as she did. Either way, I'm glad they did a good job with her goodbye as I certainly hadn't expected it.

Cady McClain continued to do terrible things to her hair right to the end of ATWT - even after ATWT finally made her look good when she first came to the show. Then she dyed it red, curled it; it was awful. I remember Dixie's 'ghost' on AMC showing up to take Palmer into the beyond with that same hair. Thank God that phase passed.

McTavish seemed to have an odd relationship with Dixie as other than that 1998 return a lot of her material for her seemed to heavily focus on her negative traits, especially her stubbornness and self-righteousness. I think sometimes Cady preferred playing that, but it was such a contrast to the St. Dixie we would often get.

 

Jill Larson was such a wonderful actress.

Oddly...I thought Dixie during the brief online run was written as a 3D character... the first time in several years.  She showcased her compassionate side, her sarcastic side, her ability to forgive and her judgmental side.  It was the best shed been written since the 90s..imho.

      While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.

      Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.

      Has anyone ever totted up how many women on GL slept with both father and son(s)? Reva gets a lot of crap for it but she's far from the only one: Claire Beth Blake Olivia Dina Did I miss anyone?  Also, did Reva ever sleep with Phillip? They always had some "closeness" thing, but I don't know if they ever actually did the deed. If they did, then Reva's the clear winner, with TWO families covered, lol!

      I think Long was probably planning to have Claire suffer from Post Partum, but she left the writing staff shortly after Claire had Michelle so that element didn't get explored. And I always assumed that when Claire returned in the late 90s/early 00s.. that she was realizing that she messed up by not staying a part of Michelle's life and became resentful/bitter over her previous choices.  That was my theory.

      Jenn was a huge part of the success of Days back in the day, and that contribution shouldn't be dismissed.  With that said, I do think her and Jack's time on the show should remain as occasional visits/drop ins. When Missy returns to play Jenn, Jenn is back to being Jenn.   Jenn in her glory days was head strong, fiesty, and was a live wire.... and her scenes with Jack on Friday was classic Jenn with Jack being the voice of reason.   It was the foundation of their relationship back in the day.

      Claire was always tightly wound, I think what Long was going to do is to throw the three into this impossible situation with no bad guys, Mo, knowing how to take care of kids from growing up but unable to conceive and Claire, who didnt know how to take care of kids and was totally focused on her career, gets knocked up.  Ryder took Claire off the deep end as a convenient way to make story for characters he wasnt interested in (though Pratt blames McTavish) with little effort. It was later explained to be a brain tumor (though why was she a bitch again when she returned?) \ Claire did sleep with Rick, she was his first!

      Oh, I have very little doubt that Missy feels some way personally and privately.  Donna was just saying she actively spoke out against Days in public in reference to the gay storylines, which she did not. I don't have super strong feeling about Jen one way or another.  She was always a side character to me.  I still think Missy is Jen regardless of her stupid beliefs.
