LIFETIME: "Ladies of the 80's: A Diva's Christmas"

[soapfan770]

I would’ve gone with Susan Sullivan before Loni lol for an 80’s diva, especially since Susan still makes the guest circuit rounds. 

@Khan @DRW50 @Vee I vaguely recall us discussing Burt & Loni’s infamous and disastrous early 1990’s divorce that splashed everywhere, from Marilu Henner stating that as successful Evening Shade was it was abruptly cancelled because of the divorce, while Loni had to make do with roles of the syndicated New WKRP and a very thankless role of Golden Girls/Empty Nest spinoff Nurses.

OMG!!! I'm so excited for this. Abby! Paige! Sue Ellen! I'm there!!!

[All My Shadows]

I'm here for it! Loni being included is fine by me, it sorta reminds me of Suzanne Somers was on Hollywood Wives in 1985 alongside actresses more known for their dramatic work. Plus, I figure this will be pretty light-hearted with a little bit of sentimentality that'll most likely make me cry because these ladies are truly our heroes.

That is prime Lifetime Christmas viewing. Look forward to it.

[All My Shadows]

Right? I need to know who devised the idea because it means someone out there has an affinity for vintage Lifetime, and I really hope that person gets to create more homages to that era.

You've got Linda Gray, from DALLAS; Donna Mills and Nicollette Sheridan, from KNOTS; and Morgan Fairchild, from FALCON CREST, FLAMINGO ROAD and PAPER DOLLS; but you know who or what's missing?  Someone from DYNASTY!  

[All My Shadows]

Assuming that Joan or Linda would have been no-gos, Emma Samms would have been fair representation. Even Catherine Oxenburg.

I mean, Heather would have been the ONE, but...

[Soaplovers]

Emma Samms still has health problems so most likely she couldn't do it even if she wanted to.. heck I would have tried for Pamela Sue Martin if you needed someone from Dynasty.

[Soapsuds]

A big no to Emma Samms. Either Pamela Sue or Catherine would've been great. 

I would've even taken Pamela Bellwood.

Dame Joan must have passed on it because this project would have been ideal for her given she's friends with Donna Mills, Morgan Fairchild, and Linda Gray.
