Pamela Sue Martin

Nancy Drew, The Poseidon Adventure, Fallon on Dynasty. She's 62. I think she got the eye lift wonk eye. She's been married and divorced four times, has a teenaged son, lives in Idaho and owns a theatre company. I'm looking forward to watching her commentary on Cocktails and Classics on the Logo channel as they watch The Poseidon Adventure.

What really is scary is the haircolor and the bangs. Without that, she would be rather okay looking.

**KrisNine** · November 18th, 2015, 02:18 AM

She doesn't even look like the same person. Scary.

I thought she was so pretty back in the day. When she was on Dynasty, she always had the worst hairstyles. Found out later in one of the interviews that the stress of doing the show caused her hair to fall out and the Shapiros hired folks to put wigs and extensions on her head. But they looked awful.

I expected a lot worse.

Me too MO. If she changed her hair up and fixed the eyebrow situation this wouldn't be so bad. I loved her so much on Dynasty. I pretty much rioted when she left the show not that they cared what 10 year old me thought.

Well, it looks like she has some major fivehead going on, so I'm guessing she's trying to cover that up with the bangs. I don't mind the hair color, it's just so straggly looking, if it were a bit thicker it would look better.

I thought I was the only one who was PO'd when she left the show. Absolutely loved her. Especially when she was on that Nancy Drew show....

She was so much more spunkier than Emma Samms, really the "I don't care I'm rich" in such a matter of fact way. Loved it. Samms was way too soft for the part.

**gas_chick** · November 18th, 2015, 10:54 AM

I already had a hate on for Emma Samms because I hated her so much on General Hospital.

**MohandasKGanja** · November 18th, 2015, 10:58 AM

Did they just replace her with Samms and say it was the same character? I can't remember.

^Yep.

Pamela Sue Martin ... Fallon Carrington Colby / ... (88 episodes, 1981-1985)
Emma Samms ... Fallon Carrington Colby (56 episodes, 1985-1989)

Thanks. Didn't they do the same thing with Steven? Originally some guy named Al Corley or something?

**gas_chick** · November 18th, 2015, 11:06 AM

Yes they did and I was bummed about that at first but Jack Coleman won me over big time.

**HWBL** · November 18th, 2015, 11:07 AM

Yep.

Al Corley ... Steven Carrington (35 episodes, 1981-1982)
Jack Coleman ... Steven Carrington (149 episodes, 1982-1988)

The fun part with that is that they made a whole storyline how his looks had changed because of plastic surgery after a fire (his blue eyes turned hazel, too, apparently). But with the reunion stuff I believe the original Steven was back and I don't even think they bothered to explain his changed looks then, LOL.
