Watching season 7, the storylines are pretty decent and stronger than the previous season but I think the casting for Katherine Wentworth was a complete miss and hinders so much of the potential. She’s not mysterious subtle or intriguing, she’s just blah!

 

I have a hard time buying Bobbie and Pam wouldn’t have seen right thru her already and it makes the relationship angst less believable even with Mark and Jenna as interlopers.

 

Sue Ellen and the pool boy was also pretty gross but I think that story has wrapped where I’m at.

Who would you have cast as Katherine? I did like Morgan in the role. Pam was very gullible where Katherine was concerned. She believed everything that came out of her mouth. Afton was on to Katherine game very early.

Linda Gray hated the Peter Richards story. Linda did say that she enjoyed working with Christopher Atkins. He was very committed to do his best with the story.

I had forgotten too until I recently saw it again.

I did not like the Peter Richards story either.  I think Dallas should have copied what Knots Landing did with Lisa Hartman.  After Ciji Dunne was killed off in the 4th season, she was brought back in the 5th season as Cathy Geary.  After Timothy Patrick Murphy was killed off as Mickey in Dallas' 6th season, he should have been cast as Peter Richards instead of Chris Atkins.  TPM played a college student in Hunter in 1986 and he was believable even though he was in his mid to late 20's at the time.  To me, Chris Atkins did not have chemistry with either Linda Gray or Charlene Tilton.  Greg Evigan or Dennis Christopher might have been a better choice to play Peter.  

Even though Grant Aleksander was on Guiding Light during Dallas' season 7, he would have been a great Peter Richards.

Laurence Lau could have worked.  The show should have cast a mature looking actor yet also look college aged to play Peter.

I was not a fan of the Peter Richard's story either and it largely had to do with CA in the role. I completely agree that he lacked chemistry with both Linda and Charlene. I loved the direction it was headed with Sue Ellen feeling conflicted about the age difference, Peter's friends at the restaurant thinking Sue Ellen was his mom, Peter being involved in the life of her son. It had great elements that could have produced some intense drama, but CA was just creepy. He just looked like a boy. I wish they would have cast someone a bit more manly and rugged. I know times have changed and beauty standards but he just looks scrawny and that lipless smile and limp blond hair do nothing. Not to mention his personality was lame too. I'm sure they didn't want to push the envelope too much at the time, but it would have really been more effective if we did see a lot more passion and an actual love scene between the pair as well.

Christopher Atkins awakened something in me, and many men my age, for which I will always be grateful.  Was he an awesome actor? No.  Could he wear the heck out of a crop top?  You betcha!  And for that alone he should be remembered with the appropriate amount of reverence.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too

      That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with

      Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.

      She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).

      That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.

      As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
