In reply #71 of this thread, Cassandra provided a link (thanks!) that has a multitude of photo's of Marley Shelton, the most recent being taken at a premiere (of Uptown Girls) in August of 2003. She's wearing a white dress with an over-one-shoulder strap. It is the second link offered in the reply. Click on more photo's once you get there.

The purist side of me is somewhat disappointed with the choice. The other side (don't know what to call it) of me is quite happy that a choice has been made and that she is credited with being a very good actress, which I think is a very, very good thing. I'll take good acting over hair color any day.

I find this all very exciting! It's a lot of fun being in on the developements as they unfold as opposed to finding out a week in advance of the series premiere and being totally unprepared and ultimately disappointed, as was the case for me personally with the 91 series. I'm finding, that it's much better for me to have the time to get over any personal prejudices and disapprovals that would ultimately get in the way as I know they would if I had to deal with them while viewing the show at the same time.

Thanks to all who've provided links and quotes,

Just wondering- For those of us who like the idea of a new location being located in the south, how would you feel about the Collins family members speaking with southern accents? Enhancing, interesting, distracting?

Could be fun to have Barnabas be released in Collinsport Maine, only to find that the family has moved lock, stock, and barrell to (where ever in) the south.

How appropriate, Connie, lol. Any town with "nut" in it would be apropriate for the Collins clan.

Probably, but let's hope not. I'm more worried the hair style making it's way back.

I thought it might be fun to reveal our personal wish list of the DS collectables we "wish" we could claim as our very own. This topic is inspired by Sandor's recent post in the Topic, Most Valuable Item. Let's have some fun and mix it up with serious and outrageous items. Thanks for the inspiration, Sandor! Loved your list! So much so that I've copied it here to start off this new topic.


MOST VALUABLE ITEM - in my dreams:
1. The butt of a cigarette smoked by Grayson Hall (w/ lipstick traces).
2. Nancy Barrett's boa when she portrayed the possessed Charity Trask/Pansy Faye.
3. The hand of Count Petofi.
4. Don Briscoe's underwear, and speedo.

Natalie du Pres had some very funny comments upon her arrival at the old House (which wasn't old at the time). IIRC they were jabs at the American way of life, which really ruffled Joshua's feathers in particular. Very funny stuff!

I spent a good amount of time last night on the web looking up Joan's nomination. I thought she had won and I was going to mention it in this thread. I only had luck finding nominees - no winner. It was very frustrating.

This was the only list I found that included Joan's nomination:

Does anyone know anything about Joan's thoughts on her nomination, if she attended the show, etc.?

Thanks, scottd, for posting DS alumni emmy nominations.

Two DS alumni that I think deserved to be nominated for their performances on the show are Nancy Barrett and Thayer David as they (IMHO) gave consistantly excellent performances while also playing a wide range of characters. There are others but I think NB and TD are the standouts, again, IMHO.

Thanks, Cassandra! Stokes remark about seeing Ange in the web dress (was she ahead of her time or what, lol!) is truely hysterical! I'm so glad you remembered it. It's great to start the day with a hardy laugh.
