I guess Dorian was de-aged after Nancy Pinkerton, because she looks mature here. All of the Dorian actresses were solid including the femme faltale sexpot take played by Claire Malis in the previously posted 1977 episode. Loved her scenes with the lawyer.

Does anyone know WEHT Tony's Place, where he, Wanda, etc. work in the '70s? Did it end up being handed over to Wanda as one of her many future establishments? Reinholt is quite good with Marilyn Chris and Lee Patterson (who he allegedly drove nuts). If he hadn't been so self-destructive he could've had a strong safe harbor at the show for many years.

I mean people do age differently now (I even read a scientific study that said part of this has to do with the increase in life expectancy.)  There's a reason no one would cast a modern production of Sunset Blvd with a 50 year old actress.  But I admit I still was surprised to look up just how old both actresses were... 

Was that after Robin Strasser was cast?  Because I was gonna say with Claire Mallis' Dorian I would have had no doubt she'd sleep with Matt.

I also think the inflated cost of living which keeps young people at home longer infantilizes our perception of young people in their mid-20s and early thirties.

But just like Laura on GH, Viki (and this Dorian) on OLTL were dressed very mature for their ages. 

Im so far loving Pinkerton's portrayal. She has a very old Hollywood/primetime quality about her acting. I don't think there was a single week actress to play Dorian. Pinkerton,Malis, Strasser and Princi were all superb.

    • Kim Zimmer could have had a nice career as a supporting actress in Hollywood, but that does not appear to be what she wanted. That's fine, but in the eighties, she was not going to have many options as a leading actress. The eighties were brutal for a performer like her.  Her one big film role lasted a minute or two. Even while she was on GL, she should have been doing episodic television. Was her agent that incompetent or was she just bad at auditioning? Her episode of "Designing Women" was quite popular and was discussed at the time for its subject matter, but she never followed up on it. It's bizarre to me. 
    • Billy just showed up for Vanessa's memorial (Sept 9, '96), which is so nice!  My first time seeing him like this outside of random clips from the past. He's out of jail for 24 hours, so not long. It's good to see him with the family.
    • Definitely was more recent than not; when the set originally returned, the change hadn't happened.
    • It was nice seeing Victorias house and I see it’s been remodelled. I’m sure this happened awhile ago but since I tuned out from the show for so long I am only noticing it now. Looks beautiful though!  Also, Billy and Sally gross me out so much. I don’t know what it is I hate so much about them. They give me the ick. Definitely a mismatch. I don’t buy that these people would be attracted to eachother in real life much less have a relationship..

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
