Why does @EricMontreal22 keep getting banned?

[vetsoapfan]

Thanks for the tag, @DRW50.

I can't imagine why @EricMontreal22 would get banned. He's a great poster and adds value to conversations.

No problem. I didn't tag in the second episode but I hope you enjoy that as well. They seem to be from around the same timeframe. 

I don't think I remember reading about the Brooke stalker story. The guy playing him is effectively creepy, especially in the moment where he was alone with her when she lost consciousness. Hard to watch. 

It's a shame the show lost their way with Nina as I enjoy seeing her here, embracing the business world as well as passion with Steve Jacobi. I wonder if Taylor leaving hurt or if they already didn't know what to do with her before that point.

Do you or anyone know who the actress with Palmer at the start of the second episode is? I briefly thought it was Harley Jane Kozak but she was on GL by this point. 

(someone on the video said it's Marcia Strassman - I have always mixed those two up)

Palmer and Daisy are always such fun to watch. You can tell how much Gillian and James enjoyed working together.

It's actually Marcia Strassman.

I'm amused at how this is apparently Tony's first episode (or close to it). Less than five months later, he'll be left at the altar by Jenny.

Also, for the record (I hope I'm not annoying people with this), the episode aired Thursday, Aug. 4, 1983. (Which I forgot until now was also the day of the live Search for Tomorrow episode.)

@DRW50  That's Marcia Strassman of Welcome Back Kotter as Lois Klingensmith.

[DRW50]

Thanks.

Not here but on FB.

Hopefully he'll pop in soon.

I can't see him deserving to be banned on any site, unless his posting style is vastly different than what it is here.

[Khan]

I'm friends with him on FB.  From what I can tell, Eric hasn't done or said anything to merit the multiple timeouts.  Methinks it's the work of trolls reporting him to Meta.

[vetsoapfan]

Once venomous trolls target someone, they never quit, alas.

[Vee]

That's awful about Eric. I still miss him. Give him our best.

Thanks so much @Forever8

Marcy Walker is chillingly good as Liza - all the more amazing that she managed to play Eden Capwell, such a different character. The way she knows just what to say to trigger the vile Enid is extremely strong writing. The acting in those scenes from Marcy and Natalie Ross is especially striking when compared to the poor work from Mike Minor later on...

Speaking of Natalie Ross, I am assuming her last credit is NOT her, but can anyone confirm?

Funny to hear Erica saying Kent is "a real Southern gentleman." She wouldn't be saying that much longer.

I can see why they recast as he does not read as a cosmetics king at all, although he's not awful. Considering Lee Godart was allegedly one of the few co-stars Lucci didn't get along with (IIRC) I wonder how she felt about the change. 

Poor Donna is such a puppy dog for Chuck.

This must be November 2 or 3.
