I think I joked about Bach joining several years ago. MAB never fails with her pathetic stunt casting. Anyone who EVER had a major role in a primetime show will be hired by her for some deluded idea of prestige. Her contempt for daytime reeks through.

I also don't understand the idea of casting someone who was famous only for their rear end. When they had one of those reunion movies ten years ago, even Stella Stevens looked better.

What audience is she supposed to bring with her? What purpose does she serve? We already have more than enough actresses over 50 struggling to get story. Plus, she's not a good actress. This is stupid and has made the Chelsea story officially a nonstarter.

To be fair I think Bacteria and MCE in a dud role did that more than Bach could.

The whole idea is supposed to be, "Wow, I remember ___ back on _____ all those years ago! I have to see them again!" Or, "Wow, I love watching reruns of this cool pop culture touchstone, and now I get to see ____ in a new role!"
