AFTER READING THE “ALREADY KNOWN” SPOILER FOR JM LAST NIGHT, I HAD AN IDEA. I’VE BEEN WATCHING DANCING WITH THE STARS (DWTS) SINCE SEASON 1. DWTS HAS INCLUDED THE FOLLOWING SOAP CELEBRITY STARS: KELLY MONACO (ABC GH); CAMERON MATHESON (ABC AMC), AND SUSAN LUCCI (ABC AMC).
I DON’T KNOW IF DWTS WILL ONLY INVITE ABC SOAP STARS BUT I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO NOMINATE DEIDRE. I JUST EMAILED ABC THAT I WOULD LIKE TO NOMINATE NBC’S DOOL DEIDRE HALL TO BE A SOAP CELEBRITY DANCE COMPETITOR ON DWTS. IN THE EMAIL I MENTIONED THAT: SHE IS FUNNY, CHARMING, AND GRACIOUS. SHE WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO THEIR CELEBRITY DANCE COMPETITORS. I TOLD THEM THAT DOOL ‘S KEN CORDAY AND DOOL WRITERS MADE A VERY DISAPPOINTING AND UNPOPULAR DECISION TO WRITE SHE AND DRAKE (HER SOAP ROMANTIC COUNTERPART) OUT OF DOOL. I ENDED THE EMAIL CONVEYING HOW “LEGIONS” OF FANS ARE VERY UPSET WITH THEIR DECISION BECAUSE DEIDRE/DRAKE’S ALTER EGOS JOHN/MARLENA ARE AMONG THE MOST BELOVED CHARACTERS AND ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED COUPLES IN DOOL HISTORY. I STATED THAT I WAS POSITIVE THAT MANY OF JM’S FANS WOULD TUNE IN TO WATCH DEIDRE IF THEY SELECTED HER TO BE ON THE DWTS FALL 2009 SEASON (SPRING 2009 WILL BEGIN IN MARCH AND THEY HAVE ALREADY SELECTED THEIR CELEBRITIES). DURING THE LAST 3 WEEKS OF DWTS DURING FALL 2008 SEASON, THEY AVERAGED APPROXIMATELY 20 MILLION VIEWERS/WEEK. IF SHE WERE SELECTED, SHE WOULD RECEIVE LOTS OF EXPOSURE AND HOPEFULLY, IT WOULD LEAD TO HER RECEIVING SOME PRIMETIME OFFERS FROM NETWORKS. (I REMEMBER SEEING HER WHEN SHE WAS ON NBC’S OUR HOUSE AND THE TOUCHING MOVIE SHE DID ABOUT HER INFERTILITY DIFFICULTIES AND HAVING A CHILD THROUGH SURROGACY).
THEY ARE AMAZING ACTORS. I DON’T WANT JM’S LAST AIRDATE THIS MONTH TO BE THE LAST THAT I SEE THEM ON TELEVISION. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO SEE DEIDRE AND DRAKE ON TELEVISION AGAIN SOONER THAN LATER. SO, I’M HOPING THAT YOU WILL JOIN ME IN CONTACTING ABC VIA MAIL, THEIR WEBSITE, AND/OR PHONE TO NOMINATE DEIDRE FOR DANCING WITH THE STARS FALL 2009:

IN MY EMAIL, I ONLY NOMINATED DEIDRE-BUT NOW I'M WISHING I WOULD HAVE RECOMMENDED BOTH.

What a fun idea. I would LOVE to see Drake on the show. He would get lots and lots of votes, I bet, simply because of his personality.

I'd heard somewhere that Peter Reckell had been approached to do the show a season or two back but couldn't because of his Days schedule.

LOL,I would love that.

That would be incredible , Id love to see both of them on .. and imagine .. if they both went far in the competition .. then mid-show they could do a dance together just for entertainment.. a Waltz, (Or a Paso Doble ~grinz~) .. wouldnt that be awesome..

I would love to see one or either or best of sll BOTH on the show.

I just cant believe Ill never see them together again

omg, can you imagine... Drake doing the Paso Doble? :swoon: And he would totally rock the Waltz.

My question is, can either of them actually dance?

Who cares?

(But we know John can dip like nobody's business.)

What about that Mexican Hat Dance? If he dances anything like that, he'd never win.

Or the ''Funky chicken'' he did on DOOL in 99 at the ''Last Blast''.

omg I know!! lol


The Funky Chicken?! I'm going to have to find that one on yt. I don't remember that!
