Davis annoyed me onscreen so I can imagine how they felt.

I think Alexandra Moltke also couldn't stand him, but it's been a long time and I may be wrong.

She also thought Claus von Bülow was all that and a bag of Doritos.

I have seen Davis in a lot of old shows and movies and there was always something off putting about him.

I seem to remember a falling out between Melody Thomas Scott and Roberta Leighton being written about in one of the soap magazines. Several years ago MTS was giving a public talk and Roberta stood up in the audience and asked why Nikki never calls her sister. MTS kind looked flabbergasted and said it was good to see her.

You mean, besides the fact that he was a poor man's David Soul who couldn't act for [!@#$%^&*]?

Maybe that's why Casey was killed off...

(I doubt it, but the idea is a picture)

Didn't Hunter Tylo talk about issues with Ronn Moss or KKL a few years back?

Between B&B, DAYS and even AMC, you could cast about ten new soaps just with folks who have axes to grind against the former Deborah Morehart.

MTS seems to have went through a period where she thought of herself as the Queen Bee of the Y&R hive and clashed with several co-stars. Jeanne Cooper wrote about their falling out in her book.

On Peyton Place I wonder about Barbara Parkins and James Douglas. They became a super couple with fans. I never have found interviews about their offscreen relationship. Just write ups about Parkins and O'Neal.

On Dallas Larry Hagman supposedly mistreated Dack Rambo.

Marrying the show's producer will do that to you.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: if I had been Bill Bell, and I had learned that MTS and Ed Scott were engaged, I would've sat them both down and said, "Congratulations! Now, which one of you's willing to leave the show?".

I love how MTS hand-waved that years later, too.
Jeanne Cooper: "Now, about this issue you had with me -- "
MTS: "Oh, Jeanne, that was so long ago!"
JC: "Yeah, but what the hell was it about?"
