I :wub: Deidre

Before I ever thought of watching Days of Our Lives, I watched a show called Our House and Deidre played Jessie Witherspoon. (I still have all 46 episodes on tape somewhere at my gran's house) She was such a loving and tender character. I was so sad when Our House was cancelled (screw you NBC) In 1997 I started watching DAYS, and Marlena was my favorite character from the very first episode I watched. Eileen Davidson's Kristen/Susan was a close second. Deidre's beautiful, classy, sincere, caring, and is still HOT for 58.

Thank you for entertaining us all these years Deidre. You are truely Daytime's finest actress.

Dee Hall rawks my world. I watched during the mid-80s (84-85) when she was really involved in major storylines, and I always thought she was one of the most gorgeous women on television.

But more than that, she was ElectraWoman, and will live eternally in the shiny happy world of my Inner Child.

*hugs ElectraWoman and her awfully bad writing staff*

Hehe, didn't know this thread existed :) I didn't start one cause she gets so much love in the general threads.

I'd write a long post about why I think DH rocks, but it doesn't need word. Speaks for itself. She's a phenomenal performer, she's a kick ass person and she's just so damn underrated in daytime. No one does emotion better than her. Some performers know how to pull the audience in. That's what she does. You just belive her when she's onscreen. I love her personality more though. She's just so outspoken and real whenever she's interview, and goddarnit, she's fing hilarious.

Minerva, I so want JE to come back to DAYS, play another character - someone who went to high school or something with Marlena - cause I'm dying to see Jane and Deidre in scenes. They sound hilarious together. And EW was the ultimate corny show.

I find that so hard to belive too since he did so well writing for her in October, November and some of December. She had some great stuff (that fight in the Italian hotel room rocked IMO - the "I LOVE MY FAMILY!" line). And the plane bickering was funny. And Spy!Mar. But that was fluff, so yeah.

The show loses its heart and soul when she's not on IMO. There's a difference for me.

    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
