You're right. Claudia was John's dead girlfriend wasn't she?

Julie Montgomery left, and they said her character had a car crash and needed plastic surgery (replaced by Susan Keith). When Julie came back later that year, they just said she wanted to look more like herself, and she got surgery again.

Nah, Claudia was Nash's crazy ex drug addicted girlfriend.

Wow, I didnt know Sam had plastic surgery. I thought it was just a straight recast. Odd that the character had it again to get her old face back.Most times in the past when thats happened, the writers just ignore it (JD back as Max or KC back as Janet on AMC)

I do too--Ifind the vocal version just a bit... much. It's not like that super bombasitc first vocal Loving opening but... I do get the nostalgia fans have for it.

I really liked Riley--I'm glad the actor has had continued musical theatre success because he was wasted (unless you count finding out his dad was a psycho gay murderer not being wasted...) I was going to say he was created as part of Malone's Love Crew but actually I guess he wasn't - he was Flash's friend lol (again wasted--why would she go for Priest Joey instead?)

What do you think about a half hour drama about "Life in London". As soon as Gigi thought of living with Kelly and said, "If she can keep her clothes on." I thought perfect drama-edy. you have Kevin the horn dog but real good in business, Joey and Kelly who can always have problems, Rex and Gigi who need to find jobs. I assume Cord and Tina are also living in the "compoud." Tina alone can bring craziness and conflict. and Shayne who has to deal with his new life in London. and then of course Nevil, the crazy butler who takes care of all of them. It just sounds to me like a perfect drama-edy. so many crazies living under one roof.

Sarah did go for Riley - after missing out on Cousin Joey (ugh), she saw what was right in front of her and fell for her bandmate. That's when I knew they were dumping poor Shanelle Workman - the character was backburnered with Riley, then just a recurring dayplayer, and exited during the MBK arc. Then they beefed up Jay Wilkison's role and paired Riley with Jen.

I liked JW a lot, especially when they all but had Nora adopt him as her son and Matthew's big brother. I wish he'd hung around; he was great. But then I also thought Shanelle Workman got a raw deal.

Do any of you who were watching regularly in 1995 remember any type of chem test between Larry and Nora's sister Susannah? The June 8, 1995 episode has them meeting, and that awful Mari Morrow Rachel teasing them. Larry asked her to join the hospital staff. It's the closest I can remember to any hint of story or romance for Larry after 1989 or so.

    •  Yeah, he is still dressed like Martin. He looks great, though.  Cute picture. Sober up, cause we need the tea.
    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • 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.
