Ryan's Hope @ 40:30
Amanda 1 & 2 were both uniquely attractive. I had a thing for Mary Page when she was on the FOX inaugural sitcom Duet. I prefer what I've seen of the storyline of Ariana's Amanda...
(SPOILER?) when they decided to bring back Faith? so they killed her romance with Pat and had her go off the deep end. It was a 180 for the character? but she handled it competently. Been a while since I saw it.
...who had a bit of Dallas-era Priscilla Presley to her version. Thanks for the interview.

... SPOILER Yeah, they started a Amanda/Pat/Faith triangle -- which was very similar to the a Dee/Pat/Faith triangle-- only to dropped it very quickly and send Amanda out of town. It was nice that Amanda was there for a little while with her sister Leigh.

Agreed.
SPOILER
Not only was it nice for Amanda's character, but it seems like it was the last bit of Kirklandishness we really got to see in Leigh. Yeah she was loaded and trying to buy Jack a new life and that money had to come from somewhere, but I think post-Kirkland era Leigh is dull as dishwater. She's just there to affect Jack's life and she might as well be a genie in a bottle without a family to give her character some depth. LaFortune has a great singing voice in some scenes post-Kirkland, I can give her that much.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Pat's best love interest storyline was with the Nana Visitor character and the "two different worlds" Jew/Catholic storyline. You know the writers were coming from personal experience on some level. That was about as good as the dialogue ever was in that period, and it wasn't even Groome in those scenes which is saying something but I'm not sure what exactly.

It was like they didn't know what to do with Jack and Leigh. I liked Nancy and I really liked Nancy's mother Beryl but I had trouble with the Pat/Nancy story since the focus was more on the Feldman family than the Ryans. Sure Maeve was worried but she never had a one-to-one talk with Nancy about her relationship with Pat and Maeve never even had a scene with Beryl. These two mothers would have had a lot to talk about. Nancy never had a Ryan family dinner or even attended a Ryan family celebration as Pat's girl. Pat felt out of place with Nancy's traditions but we never saw Nancy deal with any Ryan or Catholic traditions. Pat and Nancy never talked about what they believed -- instead of what their parent believed. Pat could have had conversations with Father MacShane considering how he told Mac that he felt separated from the Church during his marriage to Delia.
