Members cassadine1991 Posted July 2, 2016 Members Share Posted July 2, 2016 What about when GF played Diana Colville on DAYS, was that character like Laura? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 3, 2016 Members Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) That's tough to say. GF herself accused DAYS of using her status to lure viewers, but never giving her a well-defined character; and really, once you break down Diana's history, it makes sense. On the one hand, you had the heiress/newspaper owner, framing Victor Kiriakis for an art theft in order to retrieve the fortune he had stolen from her, and later being forced to sell her paper in order to keep "Roman" from finding out about her marriage to Cal. (And didn't Diana leave under a cloud of suspicion? With dark hair and glasses and the suggestion she might not have been the real Diana after all?) On the OTHER hand, you had "Roman"'s first real love interest after Marlena, going on adventures with him (like Laura did with Luke), agreeing to marry Victor and turn over her money to spare her mother, who appeared to have been kidnapped but actually was in cahoots with Victor; accidentally shooting "Roman" and only recalling it later through hynopsis (a Laura-like plot twist, if ever there was one) and generally receiving the royal DAYS heroine/supercouple treatment -- freeze frames, musical montages, death threats from and abductions by supervillains, the works. So, I'd say Diana was a cross between Laura and Ceara. She didn't connive for a taste of The Good Life like Ceara (true, Diana romanced Victor when she first arrived in Salem, but THAT was in order to retrieve some computer disk, which was not necessarily the same thing). However, while Diana could be as hapless as Laura, she never came across as innocent as Laura, who had run off with a Charles Manson-like cult leader, carried on another illicit affair with the man who had been obssessed with her mother, married and divorced someone who was supposed to be her ideal mate, and STILL came off looking like a doe-eyed virgin when she fell in love with and married her rapist.

Members ghfan89 Posted July 13, 2016 Members Share Posted July 13, 2016 I enjoyed these scenes between Erica and Nick. I haven't seen much of their romance, but they had a fascinating relationship, nonetheless.

Members All My Shadows Posted July 14, 2016 Members Share Posted July 14, 2016 This photo of AJ and Miranda always makes me sad because I can't help but think of what could have been, but paired with this lovely, classic soap write-up, it makes me sob. Can't you just hear it? "Loooooove in the afternoooooon! On ALL MY CHILDREN. Is AJ doomed to consoling Miranda when other guys break her heart? Or can he make her see him in a different light? Find out what it takes to blur the line. WEEKDAYS." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 15, 2016 Members Share Posted July 15, 2016 Who is VERA, and how come I never heard of this hot mess character until now? How long was she on the show? Please register in order to view this content Also, Dottie has to be one of the most forgotten characters who was actually around for a number of years during some of the show's highest rated years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted July 15, 2016 Members Share Posted July 15, 2016 Vera Vanderbilt was Jesse's friend, a dancer/waitress at Foxy's. She came and went quite a bit from 81-84. Grace Garland was quite a scene stealer... Dottie was wasted through her later years on the show. Gil (with Brooke) was a piece of crap character. Loved Marion's surprise...Larry got her good! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 15, 2016 Members Share Posted July 15, 2016 Garland also released a single during her time on AMC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 15, 2016 Members Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thanks for the info. AMC kept a nice little stable of recurring characters around in those days, and it really made Pine Valley feel alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
