Mag, baby- she meant Roger Davis, not Collins!  (Although Louis Edmonds would've added some class to the flick......)

My heart goes out for you- epsecially at this time of year.  There is one consolation: at least you had the love of someone special, and so many of us spend a lifetime looking for 'the one'. 

BTW, can someone provide a link to Niki's 'Willie' stories?  After all, who doesn't love Willie Loomis (or his portrayer!)?

Current Talk '08 II / Re: Who was the HOTTEST female on the original DS?
« on: August 27, 2008, 03:59:36 AM »
For out-and-out hotness in purely sexual meaning, it's Marie Wallace as Eve, hands down!  That woman looked like she stepped out of the Collinsport branch of The Playboy Club- the teased hair, the boobs, the walk, and that black dress!  Remember that Hollies song "Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress"?  That's Eve all over:


She was a long cool woman in a black dress
Just-a 5'9, beautiful, tall
With just one look I was a bad mess
'Cause that long cool woman had it all


....and then some!

Call MPI via its toll-free number- I'm sure they'll ship you a free copy.

I second the motion for Ms. Moore as Julia Hoffman!

Where do I begin: making Barnabas and Elizabeth patsies to the Leviathans, killing off Vicki, bringing back Peter Bradford- those are some of what went wrong with the storyline.

However, there was something that Curtis and the writers failed to do and I am shocked- yes, SHOCKED no one else has brought up this topic within this discussion:  they should've brought back Count Petofi!!!  Without a doubt he was the greatest villain DS ever had, and I bet people who watched his firery confrontation with Garth Blackwood at the end of 1897 were looking forward to see him coming to 1969 to raise hell for Barnabas and a returned-to-Collinwood Quentin.  After all, Angelique followed Vicki from 1796 to 1968 as Cassandra to get Barnabas for once and for all.  

Ideally, Petofi should have come to 1969 with the Leviathans under his control as a way to achieve immortality and get revenge on the Collinses.  So why didn't they bring back such a great character?  Years ago I heard from a third party that Thayer David had told one of the 'studio fans' in late '69 that Petofi may be coming to the modern-day plotline.  Who knows if the story is true, but can you imagine how better things would have been if Petofi were around and there was no Jeb/Bruno/Sky?  What might have been.  The writers were smart enough to build on the 1795 storyline with Angelique's return as Cassandra, so why not the same for 1897 with Petofi coming to 1969?  A real missed opportunity!

Talk about life imitating art!  Who painted it- Charles Delaware Tate or Sam Evans' ancestor?

In the Sunday NY Times Mr. Sedwick's passing was announced.  He died on July 3rd, and his work on DS and other soaps were mentioned.

At least it isn't Depends or Polident!  Besides, having seen her a few weeks ago in Manhattan, she's looking great as always.

You forget that Roger's been in the real estate business for years now and has made a killing at it.  If he made such a profit recently after surving open heart surgery, he has a right to shout out the news!

Thanks, Joe- I needed that!  More, please!
