This was how I, and probably most of my generation, were introduced to Daniel Cosgrove  ... (and Ryan Reynolds for that matter.)

Well, there goes my gag reflex. 😃

 

One more for tonight, just slightly out of season.

 

Ellen Weston was on Wonder Woman

 

Kristian Alfonso (and her hair) were STUNNING in that "Full House" clip.  She also looked hella good when she guest-starred on an episode of "Who's the Boss?" as someone from Tony's old neighborhood.

Young poofy haired twink Steve Burton on Out of This World!

 

 

Susan Flannery getting barbequed in The Towering Inferno

 

 

Melody Thomas Scott in Piranha

 

 

Genie Francis and Tony Geary as Laura and Luke on Roseanne

 

 

For some reason, I can't see Susan Flannery being so helpless in the face of that fire.  But, then again, I did spend years watching her practically sumo-wrestle the entire B&B cast.

Lmao her character took some bad advice from Robert Wagner

I wish Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker had made a Towering Inferno parody...I could so imagine Susan Flannery’s character doing a triple backflip out the window to circus music, with a slide whistle marking her plunge. 

 

Josh Ryan Evans had a short term recurring role on 7th Heaven:

 

I was trying to find clips of John Ingle as the school principal in Heathers but can’t find them now, he was hilarious in that.

 

 

Would you accept Ingle's big scene in True Stories?

Should we talk about Susan Lucci’s various TV movie as well? 

 

 

A Christmas classic with La Lucci.

 

You could always tell Lucci loved doing  those TV movies. Playing Erica Kane is amazing, but I’m sure she loved the break to play other characters. 
 

I am sure most are grateful for the check, but I am also sure it can be creatively stifling for a lot of soap actors who are locked into their soap roles for a long time without the chance of getting to play other roles. Not everyone is a Lucci, Braeden, or Deidre Hall and lucky enough to get those stead non-daytime roles at the height of their soap careers.

Her best ones, IMO, were "The Bride in Black" (a rare opportunity to see SL in a story penned by Claire Labine), "Lady Mobster" and "Mafia Princess."  The storytelling in all three was very strong.

 

"The Woman Who Sinned" was...okay; good, in a campy sort of way.  Same goes for "French Silk."  "Double Edge," however, was soooooo lethargic.

 

Truly, what makes her TV movies so special is the fact that she can display chemistry with so many men: not just all the men she was paired with on AMC, but also David Soul, Roscoe Born, Lee Horsley, Robert Urich, etc.  In fact, I still get chills when I think about when she co-hosted the Daytime Emmys with Drake Hogestyn (John, DAYS).  It's insane those two have never worked together anywhere else.

The Bride in Black was probably her biggest departure from her typical roles.  It was great to see her play such a different character.  I liked her in Seduced and Betrayed and rooted for her over that mousey "Andrea Zuckerman."  LOL. 

The awful TV Movie about a herpes outbreak in the Hamptons starring Tony Geary and Judith Light. Light has gone on to call this the worst work of her career (and that’s saying something given some of the TV Movies she appeared in during the 90’s).
