Members amybrickwallace Posted November 18, 2014 Members Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yes, Susan Diol filled in for NLG on GH in late 2001 (I think her father had passed away). The next year, Susan Diol showed up in Alexis' dream about the Q's, and she was on Ned's arm as "Lady Ashton". That was a cute little in-joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BKuzak Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 What i didn't know until just recently was that she was married to Chuck Lorre for like a decade. He's the excutive producer of shows like Cybill, Dharma and Greg and Two and a half men. I jiust can't see the two of them together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 There's a story I don't know. I'll look that up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 21, 2014 Members Share Posted November 21, 2014 Karen Witter and Chuck Lorre were married? I can't picture them together, either. You may or may not already know this, but he cut his show biz teeth as a songwriter. His best known composition is probably "French Kissing in the USA", performed by Debbie Harry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 22, 2014 Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 Karen Witter was so beautiful. She was actually a Playboy Playmate a few years prior to joining OLTL. In the OLTL trivia book, it says that at her audition, every male cast member went out of their way to talk to her, which indicated to the producers of the show that the male portion of the audience, at least, would be able to accept her fine. Makes me wonder if any of them recognized her from Playboy! She was VERY popular with the audience of Match Game 90 when she and Fiona Hutchison were on the panel for OLTL week (and Joanne Worley revealed herself to be a fan of the show, too!). According to the same book, Angela Holliday was originally going to be the one to try to break up Max & Lunatic, er, Luna's marriage, but they brought back Blair instead due to the history those two shared. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BKuzak Posted November 23, 2014 Members Share Posted November 23, 2014 I know James Depavia said (maybe in one of the books or magazines) that he wasn't thrilled when they put Max and Luna together because Max was too domesticated with Luna and his son Al. Maybe he said something to the producers and next think you know Susan reads her script that says "i'm shot?" LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 23, 2014 Members Share Posted November 23, 2014 I thought Susan Batten wanted to leave 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 23, 2014 Members Share Posted November 23, 2014 Didn' t everyone want Luna to leave. I couldn't stand her corny *ss self. Then ATWT replaced the phenomenal Alyson Rice Taylor with her. Not surprised they sent dog food, She was a step down, and she ruined the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 23, 2014 Members Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) She did. Originally, Michael Malone was torn between just having them divorce and Luna leaving town, and killing her off. Needless to say, he sent her off to be with the Goddess. Speaking of which, that takes me out of EVERY scene she's ever in. "Oh mah Gawdess!" UGH. That said, I think Luna was the first character Malone ever created for the show, and given that Susan is from North Carolina, like he is, it makes sense that he would have a special fondness for her (and of course, Luna herself hailed from the same state--although she had been living in Memphis just prior to moving to Llanview). Interestingly enough, I remember reading once that Luna first aired on September 13th, 1991, which was also Friday the 13th. How fitting. #boom #ohsnap Sorry, I get carried away sometimes.

Members John Posted November 23, 2014 Members Share Posted November 23, 2014 Maybe having them divorce would have served the show and couple better. They reconciled quick and then she was dead a few months later. Would IMHO have better effect to have them divorce and she take Al with her Would have given Al & Max more conflict years later 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BKuzak Posted November 24, 2014 Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 I don't think that's possible. Al is Gabriel's son. Luna could take Frankie and Leslie. I know Gabby was in prison but I don't think she gave up total custody of her son? On the subject, that's another character they ruined. Gabriel Medina. When she came back to town as Asa's wife she was bitch on wheels! then she quickly changed and became Asa's victim. Then they turned her into a good girl and brought her to Bo. Then they killed her! LIke Jen Rapport, she was a sweet girl and then she went crazy and turned into evil bitch and then softend and became semi-good girl again. then they killed her. (see a pattern!) And it was both around the same time too...early 2000's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 24, 2014 Members Share Posted November 24, 2014 I still remember Higley saying Jen was gonna have a fun exit. Either Dena is morbid or that was a last minute rewrite to snuff her out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
