There's Ross' sister, Lainie. She was last seen in 1982, pregnant (due to the actress being pregnant). 1982 is probably too late but you know how soaps are.
I didn't remember that they were thinking of bringing in Lucy's mother. Sarah would be a huge stretch but it would make more sense of Reva/Buzz (beyond the show just wanting to pair off two of their most acclaimed/highest-voltage cast members).
I don't know who else it could be. Maybe Holly, but there'd be no story.
@alwaysAMC You're right. I'd never thought of it but there was a lot of Vanessa in Marj's performance for that confrontation.
Sometimes I forget just intertwined Alan-Michael and Blake were. I think it's because for much of Sherry's last year, Alan-Michael has no use for her, beyond schemes. He clearly thinks he's better than her. Sherry is so vulnerable and fragile that I felt sorry for her. It helped that I didn't know the history, didn't know just how awful she'd been to him during their marriage.
I hadn't heard Liz's comments about struggling for fan acceptance. I wonder how long that was. It took me about 3-4 years, partly because I just lost a lot of interest in the show anyway during some of those periods, but mostly down to feeling she lacked the spark and ready chemistry with co-stars that Sherry had. I do think Liz had a good rapport with Jerry, and by the time of the woeful "twins by two fathers" story, I warmed to her as she did her best to sell that nonsense.
Still, even today, if I go back and watch Blake/Roger or Blake/Holly scenes, Sherry is still the one I miss.
