I know! I love this cast already... lol.

I think Mario will go far. Isn't he an accomplished dancer?

Jerry Springer better be damn good or he's probably out first, IMO.

Gooooo Harry Hamlin! I hope he's finally the partner Ashly deserves. I would love for her to finally win. She's so hot.

I'm all for Vivica too!

I'm familiar with Tucker, too. So... a great cast.

Wow! This is a great cast! Dancing With the Stars always picked a good, diverse group of people and not a sea of famewhores. It's one of the classier reality shows. I hope this season is as good as the showstopping second season.

I'd love to see the british version as well!

Wow. I thought Emmit Smith was white. LOL.

Yeah, Mario will probably be very good - especially with the Latin dances.

Also, I so agree about Ashley! She's finally got a great partner. I know a lot of people liked Joey, but I wasn't a fan.

So is Joey Lawrence now "Joe" Lawrence? Sorry, but he'll always be Joey to me! :rolleyes:

The rest of the cast looks pretty good. I hope Emmitt Smith does well, because I ADORE Cheryl Burke and would love to see her win back-to-back! :D

This sounds like a very interesting lineup for the new season. Thanks for the lists and pictures. I think Vivica A. Fox has dance training, too, not certain though. She has a dance scene in ID4. Others I want to watch are Joe Lawrence, Harry Hamlin, Emmitt Smith (is he another Jerry Rice?), Mario Lopez (bet he's hot) and Sara Evans. All the professional dancers are a sight to behold LOL.

    • I love a smart literary reference in my soap dialogue, but I just laughed at that *picks up book* Martin: "Ralph Ellison--The Invisible Man."  Smitty: "I see you"

    • I don't think Sandra Ferguson was fantastic but I thought she did well enough with the story she was given. She had chemistry with RKK and with Charles Grant and made it understandable why Amanda was torn between the two men. RKK leaving hurt the story but beyond that they didn't try hard enough to make Evan a viable character. After he was written out we just got the triangle with Olivia, which also wasn't viable because they wanted us to root for Sam/Amanda long after viewers had stopped caring.
    • Well at one point Aaron's contract with ABC guaranteed a new series on the schedule each year. I guess once his contract was up he was out the door. It would have been a huge financial commitment and as tastes changed and Aaron didn't ,ABC couldn't see the value. Spelling did have a number of flops along the way.  He always brought up Family as a counter to the criticism that his output was trashy but that's because Family was the only show among many that wasn't  trashy.
    • Passions also did this with Ethan and Sam...probably some other soaps (Billy and Dylan on GL, maybe). I am blanking through fatigue.
    • A-la Sonny shooting "Dominic", a.k.a. Dante... just, minus Dante shooting Gio.
    • Amanda getting pregnant didn't help character development and long term harmed the Sam and Amanda relationship. If this story came to be in 1984,  thoughts on Mary Page Keller playing Amanda instead of Sally and her husband Thomas Ian Griffith playing Sam instead of Catlin. And Jack Wagner as Evan. 
    • It's like all the K-Dramas or C-Dramas where the mother-in-law hates the daughter-in-law who's supposedly from a poor or less than privileged background, only to find out she's the long-lost chaebol daughter from an even richer family.  Maybe someone in the writer's room watches them like I do (mostly the recaps on YouTube) and decided to do that with a male slant? All kidding aside, this is par for the course in soaps where someone you think you hate turns out to be the family you never knew you had. Haha.
    • It's frustration the way Dante was acting. You truly don' t Jordan, I see. LOL!!  I really liked Briana Henry in the role.
    • The failure in communication is one-sided, and not mine. Despite being told repeatedly by me and others that what you may have read on other message boards, Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and/or any other social media site, including those you apparently run, does not make the information true, nor should it be posted here on the SON Community whatsoever. If there's something you've seen/read elsewhere that is newsworthy and from a valid source, there's nothing wrong with sharing/linking to that source. This includes linking to articles from other websites like Deadline, Us Weekly, Soap Opera Digest, EW, PEOPLE, etc. For instance, if any of the aforementioned websites reported that Tabyana Ali renewed her contract, link to that site reporting the news and/or an interview discussing it. Ditto, if Tabyana Ali said something about her contract on social media.  Just saying "apparently," while providing no source other than your statement, does not make it so. This includes if you read it by someone on any social media site other than an official outlet's post, the actress in question, or the show that employs her.  Related, your use of the word "apparently" isn't the key issue here. It's the continued posting of misinformation and the nonchalant sharing of personal information, specifically medically, about real-life people. You KNOW what I'm talking about!
    • I like Brook Kerr. I think she plays Portia exactly the way she's supposed to be. With that being said, GH has thrown Portia under the bus from day one. The woman has suffered and made bad decisions all through her tenure.
