To clarify, they didn't really date. They pretended to be on a date once or twice due to a an interest in fooling someone else at the event/restaurant/whatever. It wasn't planned by them to be real. I think one of them became sort of interested at some point ?
A shame the Ben/Thomasina tease didn't go anywhere.
I didn't know until last year that they brought Thomasina back a few days before Quinn was murdered. I guess it's nice that they got those last moments of happiness but then you remember they never would have brought her back if they weren't going to kill Quinn off.
Not trying to be a contrarian, but I don't think the show needs a rival family. Rival families have been over-done on soaps since the 1980s. And it might make the show too predictable. I'd prefer they beef-up the have-not group with perhaps a couple of workers from the Country Club and one or two Dupree servants, joining the existing group of have-nots. They could all know one another without being a real "family." That would give the audience more opportunity to see Fairmont Crest life from the "backstairs." To me this would be a far more interesting perspective than another wealthy family to rival the Duprees.
I wonder if that's why Valerie quit. I think some of the magazines at the time implied issues with Valerie and the producer, although I may be wrong.
Painting Diana as going bad would have made more sense to me near the end of her run.
Carter & Thomasina were also stuck with a baby almost immediately and didn't get much to do after they finished high school. Carter's father was killed off and Marley drifted out of their friend group because of Jake. They left town after Carter's father died (of tomb dust!) and before Quinn died (unreasonably murdered by the Sin Stalker for dating Zack Edwards).
She most definitely would. And I would enjoy watching it!
Yes, I agree, that was a very touching moment in her interview. It helped me feel much more connected to her as a performer. I also got the feeling from her, Live with DD, that she wanted to go deeper in conversation.
