Pacific Palisades Cast Info
"Pacific Palisades" Actors and Characters!
Finola Hughes (Kate
Russo) is best known as Anna Devane Lavery Scorpio on
General Hospital and
All My Children,
but she also co-starred in the TV sitcom Blossom and has appeared in many movies and tv
shows.
Michelle Stafford
(Joanna Hadley) left her popular role as Phyllis Romalotti on
The Young and
the Restless to take the job on PP. She won a Daytime Emmy for that role, which was
much different from the sweet Joanna. She was a real psycho witch! She has since
returned to that role and the character is no longer psycho.
Greg Evigan (Robert
Russo) has
had the lead in many TV series, including BJ and the Bear, My Two Dads, and
Tekwar, and had a major role in
Melrose Place before taking the PP job. He also is a musician and singer,
with an active home page.
Paul Satterfield
(John Graham) also started on General Hospital but has been in quite a few primetime soaps
including Hotel Malibu and Savannah. He
had roles in both The Bold
and the Beautiful and One Life to Live. Paul has also done many, many
guest-starring roles in primetime.
Joan Collins
(Christina Hobson), of course, is an internationally-known actress and former
Dynasty star. Did
you know she guest-starred in a classic Star Trek episode? FOX
was probably hoping her appearance on the show would boost the ratings, but I guess it
didn't. I think they made Christina too one-dimensional, personally. What made Alexis fun
was that she also had a sort of vulnerability.
Lucky Vanous (Matt
Dunning), so
deliciously evil on PP, was best known for his great Diet Coke commercial where he played
the shirtless construction worker all the business women ogled. He also was on
All My Children for one or two days, making a guest
appearance with Carol Burnett.
Natalia Cigliuti
(Rachel Whittaker) was previously on
Saved
by the Bell and 90210. She did a fine job on PP, but I don't think the writers really
knew what to do with her. Plus, she looked too old to be a teenager, if you ask me.
Kimberly Davies
(Laura Sinclair) is an Australian actress, who was in the Australian soap
Neighbours for many years. She
was one of my favorites on PP. I thought she had a great mischievous smile and pretty
eyes. I loved it when she dressed up as a nun! She is very popular in her
homeland. She has done many guest-starring roles since PP, including Silk
Stalkings and Early Edition (with Paul Satterfield as a costar on the last
one!).
Jarrod Emick (Nick
Hadley)
hasn't had a lot of acting experience that I can see. Doesn't he remind you of Darren on
"Bewitched"? I would have liked to have seen this character's growth over a few
years, to see whether he really did get tempted by Laura or some other California girl.
Dylan Neal (Cory
Robbins #2) was
too cute to play the sleazy doctor. I think I read he was Canadian. He previously played
Dylan on The Bold and the Beautiful.
He played Pacey's older brother, Deputy Doug Witter on
Dawson's Creek.
Joel Wyner (Cory
Robbins #1) has
been in a lot of TV shows. He also wrote and directed a new movie, "Pale
Saints".
Brittney Powell
(Beth Hooper) has been in quite a few movies and TV shows, including the TV movie
"L.A. Johns" where I think she played a stripper or hooker.
J. Trevor Edmond
(Michael Kerris) has done quite a lot of TV, including 90210. Too bad Rachel dumped him! Did she even
tell him why before they flew back to Minnesota?
Paul Carafotes (Jake)
you may not remember, but he was the guy Cory tried to get favors from, I think he owned
the bar where Cory set up the mafia guy in the back room. I will always remember him from
Knots Landing, he was fun on that
as Harold. He has been a semi-regular on many primetime cop and lawyer dramas.
Dirk Blocker (Chuck
Furness, the
building inspector) is the guy who finally turned in Matt in the last episode. He is Dan
Blocker's son (Hoss on
Bonanza).
John Reilly only appeared
in the last episode, as the rich man Christina goes after. I would have liked to have seen
where that went, since he is one of my favorite actors. He was Sean Donely for many years
on General Hospital. He also appeared on Beverly Hills 90210, Sunset Beach and
Passions.
Gianni Russo (Frank
Nichols)
often plays a bad guy or mafioso; I guess that's why he was in The Godfather, Wiseguy,
etc.
Mimi Kennedy (Amy
Nichols) had a
short role as Frank's wife, but she is always superb in everything she does. She was on
Homefront and
Savannah, among
many other things. She is also a television writer and helped scribe Homefront..
