feel free to speak your mind on such matter, as long as your chosen character was featured in a show that lasted less than a decade, as you feel like, well if this show went on longer this character would be truly iconic and well known to this day,

example: Reena Bellman Cook Dekker and Paige Marshall Carrington both from Texas, i know they could've been Daytime Icons, if that soap endured more time, Just the Fact Lisby Larson's Paige could actually hold her Own against Beverlee Mckinsey's Iris shows she could've been one of Daytime's Great Schemers, Same for Reena she was a sexy, scheming Woman who was getting a great treatment in Layers, she could've been great too

wow those are great!

 

yeah i've heard of them too lol but Tabith a and Endora are also bEWITCHED

well under 10 years was because my mind went to daytime, i totally forgot how it would sound for primetime, but up to 3 seasons seems fair to me, sounds ok?

What About Sabella Scott Colby? She was basically the only character who survived the Soap, and went on to the mother series

I just recently watched the entire original run of Dynasty and have finished the first season of the Colbys. I'm not a big Sable fan. I found her hard to root for. Not sure why because I loved Alexis, but I never felt sorry for Sable like I did Alexis most of the time.

For me, it was actually the opposite. Sable was IMO much more sympathetic and her behaviour more understandable than Alexis'. So much, that I barely saw her as a villain.

Also, Annie Douglas from Sunset Beach.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
