Oh No.....not Betsy Durkin!!!!!!
« on: September 05, 2002, 01:46:18 AM »
I don't know about you, but Betsy Durkin makes me sick.  Shes nothing like Vicki.  It seems to me that she demands that everybody listen to her.  Also, it looks like she's ate a lot of Ho-Ho's and Suzy-Q's.  

Go to Widows Hill and JUMP OFF!!!!!

If Burke Devlin was still around, I would help you get on that plane with him, and go to Brazil.  

If I were Nicky, you wouldn't make it out my doorway.  

You're a horrible actress.

AM's style as an actress was very understated.  Betsy Durkin comes across  a little too strong.  She just doesn't compare well to AM in looks or style.  :P

I can just not see anything similar between Alexandra Moltke and Betsy Durkin. The only thing that makes them look in any way alike is that they both wore ugly sleeveless clothes from Ohrbach's. I thought Betsy was an OK actress. She reminded me of that lady who played Sandy in the first episode of DS. I can see her doing an OK job as another new character, but she's not a good Vicki at all.

Funny, for the past couple of months or so AM looked like she was on some big time painkillers.  A glazed look in the eye and pretty subdued.  Then "The Betsy" gets on and has a confrontation with Nicholas like the Vicky of old.

>:( As I said in The New Vicki, I don't like any of the sleevless frocks the ladies wear.  Even Liz springs out in a dress without sleeves occasionally.  Isn't it winter?  If it is not,  Julia and Willie (and Barnabus doesn't count) should be awfully hot in their heavy coats!

Yes, these episodes are from November 1968. I would imagine it would be very chilly in Maine in November, especially since Collinsport is near the ocean.

Gee, I felt deprived of hearing Alexandra Moltke's voice saying one more time I DON'T UNDERSTAND when Barnabas was telling Vicki about Vampires. Anyone else?

The only good thing about Ms. Durkin's stint on DS is that is very short!

Your post about Betsy Durkin is a little cruel. That must be why I laughed so hard.

;-)

One wonders if this recast was made too hastily by necessity. I think the recast would have worked if they had taken the time to find someone more like Alexandra Moltke. The next Vicki, Carolyn Groves, isn't too bad, but by then it was too little too late.

Nobody could've replaced Alexandra Moltke, she was on the show from the beginning, nobody else will do.

And nobody could've replaced her hair!! Haha, but seriously, after watching today' episodes, it really seems like a HUGE mistake to replace the character of Victoria.  I think the show would've been a whole lot better off with just the void left by a character's departure than with Betts.

Um, you did.  Really.  :)

Do your kids watch The Fairly Odd Parents on Nick?  The little boy calls his babysitter "Icky Vicky", and one episode has a whole song number with that title...

Hey Vicky, you're so so icky,
just the thought of being around you makes me oh so sicky.
Hey Vicky, won't you please explain
why you get so much enjoyment out of causing kids pain...

Hmmm.  :D
