Oh fun...

For some reason, and I can't tell you why, when I saw this question my mind went to Broadway. Jane would have done a marvelous job in the Cherry Jones role in Doubt (not sure if it's open anymore, but it was a GREAT play!). Basically, she's a Nun who accuses a father of sexual molestation and you're never sure if the Jones' character is just devious and mean spirited or insightful and pious.... you had, er, Doubt. Great Play.. Jane would be have been great in it.

Another Broadway role that brings Jane to mind is Kathleen Turner in The Graduate. Most recent reprisal closed about two years ago, but Kathleen was sexy and broken, the way Jane can be sexy and broken. Would have been awesome!!

On TV--- E.R. is back.. and last time I checked.... Kerry Weaver's character didn't have a lover. OH MY GOD! I would pay huge money to see that!!

Aside from my ER fantasy, in order for me to really like Jane on TV, she would have to be in one of those HBO or Showtime drama series where there are no boundaries (well, little) on how bawdy or sexy or obscene a character can be. --- Maybe a female Don on The Sopranos or a dope dealing suburban mama with tons of sexuality on Weeds.... dunno.

KNH, I agree with you. Jane in the Barbra Steisand role in Prince of Tides would have been AMAZING. I thought Streisand was INCREDIBLY sexy in that. Jane could match it, and then kick it up a notch or two... ye-haw!

Edited : It's 10:09p. I'll be in The Break Room for awhile.

LaineyBev, ooooohhhhh, the Cherry Jones role in Doubt would definitely be on my list! And "Mrs. Robinson." All of the roles suggested sound like they would be great...I did a lot of thinking, and here's what I came up with:

  • Kitty Warren, from Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession. Dana Ivey had a huge success with it Off-Broadway last year. The play's about an uptight, conservative young woman in the early 1900s who finds out her mother (Kitty Warren) put her through fancy boarding schools by running a string of brothels throughout Europe. Kitty Warren is one of the best roles ever written for a woman over 50, I think. Tough, smart, sexy, pitiful, angry, flirtatious, loving, unapologetic--she pulled herself up from the gutter by choosing "the smart path" instead of the "moral path" and eventually loses her daughter's love and respect for it. If you've never read the play, I'd strongly suggest it. It's on Bartleby.com, and it's one of the finest Shaws out there.
  • Auntie Mame (or at least Vera Charles) in the non-musical version of that play. Jane could chew that role up and spit it out as gold.
  • Jean Brodie (in The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie). From Maggie Smith to Fiona Shaw, there have been some amazing Brodies. I want Jane to be on that list.
  • The medium from Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit. Not a lead role, but pivotal and hilarious.
Anyway, that would be my list. Oh, and Tracy was awesome on yesterday's show. She definitely wins GH Mom of the Year for her part in all this--I love the little bit of "don't f**k with my kid" energy she threw out at Edward when he was getting all giddy about Dillon's career choice. She's not going to make the same mistakes she made with Ned, is she? (Thinking about Tracy-Ned fic; thinking I'm avoiding the fic I'm supposed to be working on; thinking it's a stalling tactic.)

ETA: It's boring at work--I'm only here half a day, and I'm done with everything I have to do. (And still have 2 hours to get through before I can leave.)

LaineyBev, love your avatar.

MsQ, do you need a beta for that snippet of fanfic you mentioned on the chat the other night (you sent me the transcript)?

Every time I think of Edward and that talk of leather pants, I just think of Nancy Freeman's filk song, "Leather Pants of Evil" and giggle. And yeah, Tracy did see Ned perform, and made a fool of herself in public to boot. I wish wish wish that Tracy's new attitude about motherhood (letting Dillon follow his heart) would translate, at least retroactively, to Ned. Maybe her encouraging him, in her own Tracyesque manner, to go back to his music. I really am feeling ficcish about this, which kills me because I need to write that other story and I know this is my subconscious mind's way of stalling. But I just love me some Tracy-Ned interaction, and wish wish wish our boy would be back on the show. *hugs Ned in absentia*

Virus Update: *cries* I miss my computer, and it hasn't even gone anywhere yet. After spending hours on the phone, problem hasn't been fixed. Going to bring it in tomorrow. And until then, I shall use the library's computers. And I SWEAR to the Soap Gods, the next video I make (note that the song I tried downloading for this video apparently caused the virus) is going to be my BEST video ever. Maybe. ;)

MinervaFan, when (not if; see I can be positive) I get my computer up and running again, I'll send what I have completed. Going to have to resort to a notebook now...And would you be able to send me the transcripts of any breakroom chats I miss?

Lainey, we've discussed this before, but Kerry's my favorite character on ER, and Laura Innes is my favorite primetime actress (of course, ER is currently the only primetime show I watch, but still...). Anyway, yeah, I could go for that.

knh, some of us have had that problem before. Just add a number to knh. Eventually, knh will get kicked off, and that name will be free for use again.

And I'm off...

Gosh it's so quiet in here lately.

:(

Question: Do we think they're softening up Tracy TOO much?

And someone on SZ posted something I'm bringing over here: TIIC need to remember that Lacy's main connection is that Tracy is the polar OPPOSITE of Laura.

In fact...that is the main reason I've even believed Tracy has a fighting chance. Because she can offer Luke the total opposite of Laura.

I'm all for showing the heart and depth that's always been there anyway...but if they soften her too much I'm afraid that's going to take away what makes Lacy "them."

Know what I mean?

Anyone agree/disagree?

I want to see the SPUNK back....not cartoony evil.

Just SPUNK. With a dash of naughty.

The way Tracy is BEST.

I'll be in the Break Room, if anybody's interested.

Fey and I thought up some more parts for Jane to play--

Fey came up with Cruella de Ville, which rocked my socks WAY off....

I came up with Weezer from Steel Magnolias and Norma Desmond from Sunset Boulevard. Keith, I'd also LOVE to see her play a "mature" Elphaba, if such a thing ever existed...... Oh, and if you're ever interested, I got a little bit of interesting background stuff from Wicked from Dana Ivey--nothing juicy, just why she didn't take the part on Broadway.

OMG I freaking love "Steel Magnolias" and I can see Jane playing Weezer (even though I totally heart Shirley MacLaine in the role), that'd be so much fun to watch her in!

Cruella de Ville!? lmao I think that's how Guza sees Tracy!

Oh and I agree with you ILoveTracyQ on the fact that she needs her spunk. But it is nice to see that they get that she can be a good mother, just as long as they don't make her too soft.

*joins Deb in the breakroom*

Hi all! The place I'm at is open 'til 11 CDT, and since I've been missing the Internet and all of you so very much, here I am!!!

ILoveTracyQ, I like the softness, but not all the time. Hmm...I suspect we're going to get Evil!Tracy upon Laura's return and during this supposed ELQ SL. Note to TIIC: That's not what we mean when we say "spunk." *shrugs*

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
