She created those characters oberliner May 2018 #12

Then keep the actors and change the names. She doesn't own their souls. n/t pnwmom May 2018 #14

I predict the other actors will move on to other projects oberliner May 2018 #25

More reason for her to grant the actors rights to their own characters. joshcryer May 2018 #38

They did it years ago with "Valerie." Is Sandy Duncan still working? Gidney N Cloyd May 2018 #30

Hey, I might watch that. louis-t May 2018 #33

Killed? No. How about imprisonment for a hate crime Sanity Claws May 2018 #35
