I know there's a woman for every man, but c'mon now, this was a show that showcased males as hunks and not nerds. Myra, as smooth as she was, could have had any hunk she wanted to, and she was attracted to a nerd. It was never explained why Myra was attracted to Steve. Steve didn't like girls. He liked Laura, but that was a friendship next door like, not a romantically like.

You are right. I never understood why she wanted him. I know love is blind, but...:rofl:

Just for the record, Myra (Cherie Thomas) is the real life daughter of Kool & the Gang saxaphonist Dennis Thomas. I found out in Jet Magazine when she died.

My fault. I meant to say Michelle Thomas, not Cherie Thomas, Dennis Thomas's real life daughter from Kool & the Gang. She died young. She went with Malcom Jamal Warner in real life too.

Wow. I may have heard abt her death but totally forgot. This caught me totally off guard. How old was she?

She also thought an orange juice diet would save her life.

Oh wow. I guess it didn't work. Desperate people do desperate things. :(

I loved Michelle Thomas, she seemed so sweet and down to earth. Shortly before she passed she won a role on The Young & The Restless. She did an interview with Soap Opera Digest. I still have the article somewhere. If I can find it, I'll post it here.

Malcolm did an Interview with ET some months after she died and he said that he stayed in the hospital with her and was in the room with her when she died. Talk about a true friend. Now that's a good man.

Malcolm sure loved and cared for Michelle

I find it sad, that Michelle died too, but I'll provide a response to the original topic of this thread for a change. :D Well, as beautiful as Myra was, she was also the nerd girl. Her cousin Ted said she liked intelligent guys. And why couldn't a girl find Steve attractive just because he's a nerd? Really, I would take Steve over any of the hunks, who Laura went out with, even if they looked better than him.

Michelle's father is the one in the back on the far left with the goatee and hi-top cut. He was the saxaphonist in the group.

I agree. Also Myra and Steve had alot in common. They both like to do the same things like play the accordion and she loved how smart Steve was. Although Myra became kind of obessed over him, one thing I liked about her was that she accepted Steve as is. She never tried to change him, she loved him for who he was. This is also one of the reasons why I never liked to whole Stefan story because Steve was always trying to change himself just to please Laura.

Dennis Thomas was Michelle's father? I didn't know that. The clothes that Kool And The Gang are wearing on the Forever album cover are gay that you posted GarfieldKool hahahahahahahahahahaha.

Well, that was the 80s, and the 80s were flamboyant. :lol:

Yes they were. In the 70's Parliament, Funkadelic, Earth Wind and Fire had some pretty "out there" attire. It was the style and no one thought anything weird abt it. When you look back of course it seems crazy, but for the times, it was COOL. :cool:

What's up with Verdine White's long hair? He looks like a woman LOL. Verdine is in Earth Wind And Fire.

I know P-Funk and EWF had those costumes at their live shows. I was too young, but I seen the clips.

Amen to that. Steve always treated women with respect. He told Myra that he would go out with her but if Laura gave him the slightest inkling that he could win her heart that he was gone. Myra accepted those terms.

When Steve was maturing into a man Myra lost interest in him.

Yet again, that is not true.
She loved him for who he was and didn't want him to change.
