Members DaytimeFan Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 One of the comments on the Deadline article took the words out of my mouth: they must have offered the Loni Anderson part to Dame Joan Collins first and she turned them down or they couldn't reach terms...Loni is not known for a prime time soaps in the slightest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted October 3, 2023 Members Share Posted October 3, 2023 Linda Gray(Sue Ellen) and Christopher Atkins(Peter) will be reunited. Patrika Darbo from Days in the movie as well. I would've been great to have Joan in the movie. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted October 4, 2023 Members Share Posted October 4, 2023 The most I recall was a very short stint on Melrose, and certainly no one remembers Loni from Melrose Place's dying years. I wonder if Susan Lucci was asked to play this part too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted October 4, 2023 Members Share Posted October 4, 2023 Loni Anderson should have been on a primetime soap.. I'm remembering her stint on Tori Spelling 'So Notorious' as her 'mom' and she could throw shade with ease. She'll have no problems fitting in with these women. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 It's hard for me to picture Loni with the rest of this cast just because I don't automatically think of her when I think of "ladies of the '80's." "WKRP in Cincinnati" was her claim to fame; and that, IMO, was more of a '70's show than an '80's one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 Poor Linda Gray looks frail in that sidelong shot of the women. But my mother is also that thin these days near that age and she's doing okay, so who knows. Oh God. The Loni/Denise Richards double act story. That was a nadir moment for the show (and actually in the back half of Season 4 IIRC, which wasn't quite the dying days but it was a rough patch and got rougher down the road). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Loni never found another part as good as Jennifer. She was in so many TV-movies and failed shows or dying shows (the one that interests me most is her show with Lynda Carter - not enough to actually watch it, admittedly). By the '80s she seemed to be more known for her marriage. Sometimes I forget Linda is 83 now. I don't know how these ladies do it. You're right that Melrose went on for a number of years after that. I think that's when I stopped watching. Edited October 5, 2023 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Just looking at the picture ... Morgan Fairchild played the lead Racine, in Paper Dolls, and Nicolette Sheridan was introduced in that show. And, another thing, this year during PRIDE I learned that Linda Gray was the first person to play a transgender character in a Norman Lear primetime soap that I would kill to get to see, All That Glitters & I believe it was as early as 1977.

Members te. Posted October 5, 2023 Members Share Posted October 5, 2023 From recent interviews Linda's sounds and moves around fine. She's just on the thin side and at that age it makes you look more frail than you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
