Shouldn't this be about Shannen? And of course you had to make Shannen's death about you. You don't like it if everything isn't about you. This is about Shannen. She fought a fight that has been admirable for years. And she never made it about her. Prayers to her family.

First - cancer survivors should never be shamed for sharing their stories. Second, I want to bring the attention to @Errol - we have a member obsessed with another member who now for close of a year has bored the whole board with constantly following that other member in topic after topic trying to ridicule and start an argument. At this point this is the most off-topic thing in here. Please take your personal vendetta OUT of a topic about a woman who DIED FROM CANCER. I know it will be hard, but try. Thanks.

What a tough, feisty lady, in the best sense of the words. She fought such a hard battle against breast cancer. I was in admiration of her courage and bravery. She will always be an absolute legend to me... and FYI I was always a Brenda fan! Lol. If you know you know.

I am definitely going to need a hug when it sinks in because it WILL be a doozy for me when it does.

 

I just woke up and wondered why people were tagging me, but I guess I know now. 

 

Outside of Vanessa Marcil's Brenda...the only other Brenda (and SCARY MOVIE's Brenda okay and URBAN LEGEND Bren) I acknowledge. Shannen was my Heather. She was my Brenda. And she was fierce AF as Prue on CHARMED. And she always acted. She was always a fighter. And I watched just about everything she was in growing up. There was just something about her eyes. How she could do a smile or a smirk. No matter if her characters made you want to shake her, she always came across as an underdog that you wanted to see win. My love of her knew no bounds. 

 

And watching her fight cancer these last few years, my heart went out for her. And yet she still kept going. And it was nice to see as she grew older, she was moving past a lot of the feuds that she was known. Older. Wiser. But still tough. 

 

I am just rumbling and fighting tears. With Shelly Duvull, Richard Simmons, Dr. Ruth, and now THIS...it's too much.

I knew when Shannen announced within the last few weeks that things weren't looking good and was starting chemo again that the end was sadly coming sooner rather then later.

She left a great mark with two iconic roles, a memorable supporting role in an iconic cult classic (Heathers), and always spoke up for herself even if it was at great risk to her job and career.  

Shelley Duvall was such a part of my childhood from watching Fairy Tale Theatre, Mother Goose Rock n Rhyme, and her attempt at adapting classic gothic novels into hour long anthology episodes (Nightmare Classic).  It wasn't until my teen and young adult years that I got see the other part of Shelley Duvall.. her 70s output was amazing (Her acting in 3 Women was flawless).

Richard Simmons.. Sweating to the oldies made exercise look fun and was an advocate for those struggling to lose weight.  An icon also gone too soon.

Dr Ruth... her advice show on Lifetime back in the day was one my late mom used to watch. 

 

RIP

      Is there anything in print or fan lore or info about Don Stewart & temperament or behavior? Of course my brain could be playing tricks on me.

      “On ERICA versus RACHEL, Erica was a very unique character. ... Rachel was a lower-class Erica, her mother was a cleaning woman, and her goals were not nearly stratospheric as Erica’s. Rachel just wanted to marry Russ or somebody with money. What Erica and Rachel have in common is they thought if they could get their dream, they’d be satisfied. But that dream has been very elusive.”– Agnes Nixon, Creator, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ALL MY CHILDREN, and LOVING So my takeaway from this, plus knowing the characters, is that both Rachel & Erica schemed for acquisition. They wanted to acquire romance, husbands, prosperity, a kind of low-level fame or notoriety.  Am I correct in thinking that Carla schemed for safety, camouflage, to keep from getting caught & so for survival? Or did she also scheme for things similar to above?

      Paula and Jeanne’s first time writing Alex and Stephanie. It didn’t seem like there were any changes in Alex at all lol but I can’t help  but think that that’s more on RSW than the writing. I didn’t see a big change with Stephanie either, but I did enjoy her scenes with Kayla, whose character has gotten so much stronger since last week. I hope we get to see a lot more of their relationship, and their relationship with Steve as well. As for Steve and Shawn stealing the drug to try to save Bo, idk. I don’t dislike it, but I just don’t know lol but I also think that it is time for Steve to pass the torch on to the next hero.  And finally, Javi showed some kind of spark! I was a little worried in his first scene today that he was going to continue to be so obsessed with Leo, but him demanding that Leo drop the investigation into Rafe and Gabi could actually be pretty interesting. I don’t think that would’ve happened under Ron. And if we’re forced to endure Javi/Leo, let them at least have some kind of actual conflict, instead of the forced, biased crap that we were subjected to. And speaking of Leo, one year ago today, he got Dimitri’s letter

      Btw, why is Gabi so beholden to Javi? Cousin or not, if I was her, the minute he said to her, “If he goes, I go”, I would’ve been like  Also, are they going to go there with Philip and Gabi? I’d prefer that than Gabi getting involved with Alex.
