Biggrin FAVOURITE GUEST ON FOL

Who's your favourite 'Guest character' on FOL?

There has been quite a wide range of them, and for me if i had to pick one, i'll choose:
MEG (BLAIR's sister from the episode 'Best sister'), she was the sweetest thing, and also the fact that she is one of the girls on the sitcom 'THE BRADY BRUNCH' gives her a plus!

Now, the least favourite i'll have to say is MIKO: she really irritated me with her 'crush' on JO! (unlike KELLY who at least was funny)

Comments?

Same. She's one of my favorites too and helped lighten up season 5 when she was on.

For recurring guest star, Marj Dusay as Blair's mother is my favorite. I love her acting. I also feel she had a better connection to the girls than the first actress that played her mother in season 1.

I'm surprise it's not Mark Tymchyshyn aka Ben. I would have guessed he was your favorite guest star since you like him for Blair.

Side note - I just found out Ben was in Grace Under Fire and Reba. These are two shows I watch and can't believe I didn't notice before.

Yep, BEN as well, but i was thinking more of a female character, rather than a boyfriend...

i loved marj dusay such a talented actress i loved jami gertz too she's actually really funny and underrated i also loved even though his character was a sleaze the actor who played harrison andrews in double standard season 2 he was very cute and a decent actor in my opinion.

Hmm, by "guest character" I thought that meant a one-time appearance, not a recurring character.

And yes, most fans find The Real Monica more preferable to Prototype Monica, me included. She was perfectly cast.

I also love Zsa Zsa's appearance.

And Jami was fantastic as Bootsie!

If it's just a one time guest stint, then William Windom gets my vote. I love his scene with Mrs. Garrett as they're throwing banter at each other over whose shop it best at the end of Store Games.

It's not just The Facts of Life she does a great acting job on. She was also perfect on All My Children. She started out sane and went crazy in the end of her run on the show. I never watched Another World like you and cfr, but I did watch and enjoy All My Children back in the day for...well over a decade

I feel sorry for him because he has to be the "villain" there, lol. He did an episode of "Mama's Family" where he was a sweet guy.

I have heard about her on ther. I never watched AMC, but I wish I had been around to see it regularly when Dorothy Lyman was on there as Opal. I've gotten to see some of her Opal stuff on YouTube, and she was so funny and unique. (also very cool that she won Daytime Emmys 2 years in a row for what was largely a comic performance, something extremely rare).
