Imagine the excitement that Lesley-Anne Down, Patrick Duffy, and the actors who portray "The Investigating Bakers" felt when they checked their Blackberrys and saw they had calls from their agents.  Here's what they saw:

Good news 4 U ! ! ! Bell tx'ed me b/c he wants (finally!- LOL) to give you airtime!  Call me ASAP!!

Thinking to themselves, finally, they've remembered I am on the opening credits of the show and I do need a paycheck and exposure.

Only to receive their scripts and see they were merely brought on this week, for the briefest of minutes, to deliver dialogue that could implicate them in the poisoning of Eric.  Jackie's brief scene at Eric's hospital bed saying "this would not have happened if you had stayed with me," and Stephen Logan saying (and mind you, this is after he buried the hatchet w/Eric and completely out of the blue) "Eric has always been a thorn (yes Bell, we get the joke) in my side"

For that matter, the only reason Felicia and Thorne were pulled out of the mothballs is so they can accuse Donna of attempted murder (by the way Felicia, you are lucky no one told the Bakers about your extortion scheme to set up Donna. . . ).

I really liked the scenes with Stephen and Beth Logan, but doubt we will see more from them anytime soon.  As for Steph, so good to see her back!

Downs is terrible in this part....she needs to quit and go back to england and make B movies...she looks younger than her son...it is quite laughable.,,,Looks like duffy is going to be in the running again for poisoning eric...and stephanie looks like she wants to be somewhere else.

  • While I'm not a fan of her new blonde look, I've always liked LAD as Jackie and have wanted her to have more storylines. I particularly liked the one where her past as a hooker came back to haunt her (this is the sl that brought Nick and Taylor together way back when); I agree she doesn't look old enough to be Nick's mother, but if that were the criteria, few of the actors on this show would have roles! attylaura
  • While I disagree that Jackie looks younger than Nick, I have to agree that her character is basically intolerable. And I hate the blonde wig, it looks ridiculous. ~i&b
  • I agree i&b, Jackie does not look younger than Nick. I like LAD, but IMO, she looks to be a woman in her mid sixties, sporting a bad wig. BFF
