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

    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show. 
    • I thought I had stopped & then I saw this post from you. To be clear I said I was wrong. I have not made an attempt at any backpedaling. There is literally no place to back pedal to. I did 3 things. I deleted. i apologized. I said I was wrong, egregiously so. 
    • I think bringing Dano back to OLTL as her original character Gretel/Rae was a last minute thing because P & G wouldn't let ABC use the Felicia character. So even though she had ties to OLTL from back in the day, she just didn't fit into the OLTL of the late 90s/early 00s.. nor did she really fit into the other soaps at ABC either. 
    • I don't think they were the biggest factor, but I do think there's a specific style to Dano's work that wasn't helped by how pointless her character often felt (and later on the various writers clearly saw the character as a joke).
    • I think Evie came in mid 1976 after Rita broke up with Tim because she realized she was leading him on.  And Evie became upset with Rita because she didn't tell her that she had previously dated Tim before she came to town.
    • Please stop, you were wrong, and you know it, now you're trying to back pedal. You even got called out by the DAYS actors/actresses on Twitter for that sh*t. It was disgusting and vile and IMO the family should have taken action against you It was clear the general public did not know about his illness and it was NOT your place to "spill the beans" just because you run a Facebook group, period! TBH IMO @Errol should have banned you ages ago Donna 
    • Who went bowling? JFP & Anna? Is there any more to this?  
    • Another character driven show with interconnecting plots that make sense. I like that we go from one character, like Sarah, learning that EJ wants to buy the hospital, casually mentioning it to Xander who now has that intel. The only down today was not seeing Steve and Shawn breaking into the lab. I wonder if Dr Poofy Hair will inform EJ about Xander's call. I loved Abe talking to Chanel about losing Isaac and giving her comfort. And helping her voice her fears about Johnny. Kayla standing up to EJ is great. Kayla, freed from Ron, has been great. I am loving all her air time. And Sarah telling her that EJ must be up to something if he wants the hospital is very smart. She would probably clue in to the sepsis research being the big thing if she wasn't choking to death. I assume Felicity messed up the scones and dropped in cleaning fluid or something. Sarah said it tasted weird. They are never getting that honeymoon, are they? Xander has no clue what job Johnny can do. Johnny knows this too. Xander wants to legitimize his takeover by hiring a Dimera. Johnny wants to stick it to EJ. The honesty is refreshing. I want to like Cat and Chad but they are just so awkward. And none of their scenes work for me. Marlena and EJ was very good. I like her wanting to help him but also scared to death for Belle. Makes perfect sense that she is conflicted. I also liked her softly asking Johnny if he needed her to stay once EJ walked in. Ron never cared about this relationship either, but now she is acting like his granny.
    • Sorry, catching up, and the bolded part, yes! Should have been sued by DH's family for that nasty sh*t too   Anywho, back to the show, Kristina is freaking nuts, she needs to be committed ASAP
