Was that when Billie was having nightmares of Curtis taunting her during her heroin withdrawals? I thought Allen did a good job there. She also did a good job as Billie with her daughter’s death in the Bayou but outside of that the writing wasn’t there for at all, especially making her the bad girl in the triangle with Bo & Hope.
Oddly she clicked with JT’s Roman and I did like her spark with Victor Webster’s Nicholas and the triangle with Kate so course they wrote her out when her contract came up. 

I think Krista’s most famous role is still the movie Liar Liar unfortunately. Baywatch (where she was paired up with Jason Brooks), Charmed, and The X-Files all used Krista for her body and not her acting.

I was watching clips of Krista on YouTube this morning - I started looking for Days clips but then YT gave me others - and yep. 95% of her roles were "really really hot woman". And granted, I am gay but that is a sickening face and body for sure.
So ironically, as underwritten as her Billie was, it was by far the meatiest role she was given.

LOL gay man here too but as soon I brushed up on her filmography and immediately clearly remembered which X-Files episode she was in and was “oof!”. 
 

I do wonder how Krista was chosen though. I would have thought at the very least an actress with a lot more standing in the same way as Rena Sofer or Denise Richards (think Annabeth Gish or Ashley Judd lol) would have been cast as Taylor. I wish her the best of luck for sure.

She is not well-known enough that they reached out to her (and maybe they did send out feelers to "names" who turned them down) so I bet it was as simple as she auditioned and she did best or had a good chemistry with *someone*and they thought it would work
Earning a role the old-fashioned way!

That would be interestingly refreshing and a nice change of pace for the show for once. Around 2003 ish I feel like that’s when the show began casting on name recognition only, hence the endless parade of name recognized leftovers from both daytime and primetime every since that have come and gone or still on the show to this day.

She was on a reality show 3 or 4 years ago with her son on Lifetime I think.  It was about him breaking into the modeling industry with "famous" parents.  It was called Growing Up Supermodel-I am pretty sure.  Anyway, the show was dumb, but she looked good still.  She's had some minor work done I think, but looks pretty much the same.

That last hastag confirms she was cast to be in story and that story will involve chemistry with someone. Got to assume TK's Ridge.

Gotta love the replies though "Please don't turn Taylor into trash. Taylor would never do that". Where have these people been the past twenty years?
Coz 1990s Taylor would not do that. 2000s Taylor slept with more characters than Brooke did, killed Darla while drunk driving and so on.

I liked her on Baywatch and this HBO show she had years ago with Frank Langella. Physically she looks the part so I'm going to be hopeful. Taylor needed to return ages ago so at least that wrong has been righted. I do wish it was Kristin Alfonso, but now we just have to hope Bill Bell writes the character well.

In addition to have good taste in men, she is also an animal lover based on her Twitter feed AND there is this.

I don't know how well it will work out because B&B's track record with new hires is what it is but I know I will be rooting for her to stick around for a while.
Even if we are going to get another B/R/T triangle

      I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube.

      Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. (did not see Naomi?) -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny or velvet or a textured fabric - I couldn't quite tell, but the jacket color was solid black) Vernon - black turtleneck, white shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black tee, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party but perhaps they arrive later.  The night is yet young.

      Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her

      @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.

      https://www.instagram.com/p/DJJTEW8J5EA/ 1989 Daytime Emmys Victoria Wyndham gives moving tribute to Douglas Watson, AW's Mac Cory Harding "Pete" Lemay created the character Mac Cory & then Doug Watson played him for 15 years. When Doug died on May 1st, 1989, it was a huge loss to the show, the other actors & also to the fans.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.

      I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...
