Members will81 Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yeah the poster was released just after Brenda left the show in 1980. so she would have been around 30. I don't deny there may be some truth to this (though I am sure more delusion than truth), Jeanne has been Brenda's friend for almost 40 years and doesn't deny Brenda is a drama queen. During the E! True Hollywood Story I thought Brenda was telling half truths and just convinced herself that what she was saying was true. There is no doubt she was sick during her second run, but there were plenty of reports of her diva behaviour during that time too. Something I am sure she chooses not to remember. I do believe Bell had her blacklisted. Whatever you think of her, she was extremely popular during her second stint and would have been considered a hot property, no reason she couldn't have worked after Y&R, even if she was the craziest bitch in town. If she could bring in ratings (and she could), someone must have wanted her. Which makes one wonder why he would do such a thing. Just fire someone and be done with it.

Members antmunoz Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Brenda Dickson. FALCON CREST. Coulda been a classic... And wait! I think she WAS on a second season episode as Tony Cumson's pregnant fiancée! (Later forgotten.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dale Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 I recall that Paul Rauch wanted her for the Blaize Buchanan role in the 1888 storyline on OLTL, but for whatever reason, it didn't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Brenda Dickson would have been killer as Alexis' long-lost sister on DYNASTY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Again, not that BD's claims against Papa Bell are 100% accurate, but...depending on which soap(s) might have been interested in her, and especially if any of them aired opposite Y&R, luring her there and away from the Bell fold might have had an adverse effect on Y&R's ratings. But that's just a theory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Yeah, wouldn't trade Kate O'Mara, but Brenda could have played Caress kind of like the Sable/Frankie "one sister raised in London/one sister raised in California" thing.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Well, the Lindsay Lohan one anyway. In the Hayley Mills one, one of them lived in Boston . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 LOL, you know, I've never actually seen those movies all the way through! But yeah, that's how The Colbys explained why Sable had an English accent and Frankie, an American one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 Who would Brenda have played? Caress' American fraternal twin, Massage Morell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted September 2, 2012 Members Share Posted September 2, 2012 LMAO @"Massage". That should be used in one of these dubbed parodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
