[rofl10]  I haven't watched those episodes in so long I can't remember Amanda being "that" bad.  Others share your feelings though!!  One fan may just speak up sometime soon so I will not speak for her.  Most of the male fans I've heard from don't dislike her as much as the females.  I wonder why?   [idontknow]

Could you mean me or are there others who can't stand Amanda Harris and her continual insipid whining?

You really have to wonder why? They're males. The answer should be pretty obvious.  [b003]

Speaking from one female to another, I never had a problem with Amanda as a character myself....I just didn't think she and Quentin had any chemistry, romantic or otherwise, period. I liked her much better as Tim Shaw's money-happy, jewel-lovin', stringing-Trask-along honey. [winkg]

By the time Amanda left the show though I must confess I wasn't sorry to see her go. That whole Mr. Best nonsense bored me silly.

I'm more vocal about the characters that I love and hate than many people, I can get pretty worked up about either one. I don't hate Amanda, not like Trask or the truly wicked characters but I just feel she's a total waste. And to have Quentin fall for her after Beth is an abomination.

Well my wonder was rhetorical because I have a pretty good idea why most, if not all, men enjoy Amanda.  She is pleasant eye candy for one and I don't have a problem with her, right now.  I'll wait and see if I change my mind later.  I do think Quentin could have done better but ...

Yes, they didn't seem to develop the Amanda character very much.

[lol3] I love to see you get worked up over her, Alondra.

Now, now - you know you were heartbroken when Amanda met her fate. You probably cried and cried for days and days...
Poor, poor Donna McKechnie. She thought that loud round of applause when they showed Olivia's demise at Fest came from fans showing their appreciation for her work. Little does she know that there are many of us who scream and clap just as much when we watch that scene at home.  >:D

Amanda was Vicki's twin sister, "I don't understand" being the link between them.

LOL. but isn't this topic about Julia. Later in the show when they gave Grayson better outfits. There was the nice blue dress and also the orange outfit(or rust) Some charactors had to have nice clothes to come across. Grayson was great in what ever she wore. She came through.

I love Grayson's "entrance" in episode 675 (on today's slideshow).  The shots I'm thinking of aren't among the captures in the slides, but as I recall the episode, we see Julia's hand holding a cigarette, a shot of her coat, and then a close-up of the Doctor herself looking even more world-weary and "over it all" than usual.  FABULOUS.

Grayson Hall is my religion--I admit it!

I love the scene, can't remember the ep, where she LIGHTS one of her ciggies using the candleabra in the drawing room of the Old House!  CLASSIC!   ;D
