Four For Friday - The Girl Who Got Pregnant

As is the case every Friday, I like to direct you towards my Twitter which is over on the right somewhere. Usually I use the little -----------> thing, but I thought I would be different today. Counting down to 4:20 and all that. Oh, you thought. No, that is when I get to leave work today. Anyway, on my Twitter I have blinds that I don't have on the site. I had one this morning as a matter of fact. Oh, and here on the site on Saturdays I reveal a blind from my archive.

This show was on a few years ago, but most the leads in the show are all working still and are solid B- listers. It was a modest hit show which was part of a hit night for a network. Yes, a network. Not an almost network or cable, but a network. It was supposed to be good family fun, but behind the scenes were some truly nasty things going on. The object of the entire mess was this teen who has not really done anything since because she was so traumatized by what happened. When she first came to the show she got involved with one of the actors on the show who was slightly older than her. He was experienced and she was not. He was really into drugs and she was not, but she thought he was the greatest and in love and they had sex all the time. While this was going on, one of the older actors on the show also wanted the teen. She thought of him like a father figure, but he wanted to be more than a dad. Well, one day he had way too much to drink and came on to the teen. She didn't want it, but she also didn't want to get fired so went along with sex. To this day she refuses to eat the food she was eating right before this happened and has a loathing for the cologne he was wearing. When she told her "boyfriend" about it he blamed her. When she told this B- list actress on the show about it, the actress told her to never tell anyone and that kind of thing happens and it had happened to her in the past before she got too big and they couldn't take advantage of her like that anymore. Well, our teen got pregnant. When she talked to her boyfriend, he said it was not his and that she deserved what she got. When she talked to the older actor about it, he said that he was married and had a family and none of this could come out. He then had his assistant make an appointment for the teen to get an abortion and to make sure the assistant went and made sure the procedure was completed. About three days after the procedure our teen got a call from the older actor. The teen though it was to apologize or to see how she was doing. Nope. He wanted to know if she wanted to come over to his place for sex.

  1. Married With Children? Applegate? Too many possibilities here.

  2. Can't be Applegate... "this teen who has not really done anything since".

  3. Gross no guess

  4. Still not sure...some girl on Blossom?

    ReplyDelete
  5. "Just Shoot Me"
    Moderate success (its in syndication now)
    Most of the people on the show have gone on to do other TV shows that are on cable.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Not enough still working B-listers from Blossom.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Buffy was on the almost network.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Just Shoot Me was also on NBC Thursday night must see tv.

    ReplyDelete
  9. The O.C.? Mischa Barton...?

    ReplyDelete
  10. A family-ensemble sitcom, which one?

    ReplyDelete
  11. So it was a show on during a hit block of shows and not the main hit, but reasonably good ratings. Like Parks and Rec, The Office and 30 Rock for example, right? What family show could that have been? I am stumped.
    Looking forward to everyone's guesses!

    ReplyDelete
  12. 8 Simple Rules - was part of ABC's TGIF. I think the teen was Amy Davidson, the older guy was David Spade and the actress who gave her advise was Katey Sagal. Not sure who the boyfriend is.

    ReplyDelete
  13. That 70's Show did not pop into my head as I read this but there could be a connection between that show and today being 4/20. Enty even made a reference to the number at the beginning and there was the reoccurring smoke circle scenes on the show.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Lacey Chabert from "Party of Five" for the teen? Not sure if it was on a network though, I didn't watch that show at all, but we haven't seen anything of her since.

    The only problem is I don't know if the rest of the cast are considered B-listers.

    ReplyDelete
  15. For some reason the show that popped in my mind is Step by Step...

    ReplyDelete
  16. Roseanne?
    with the first Becky and remember when Tom Arnold was on that show?

    everyone on that show is still pretty famous.

    ReplyDelete
  17. just realized there were no teenage girls in just shoot me

    ReplyDelete
  18. Thinking this is a show about a family...Gilmore Girls, Grounded for Life, My wife and kids...something like that?

    ReplyDelete
  19. @Thea

    Lacey Chabert was in Mean Girls.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Whatever the show is, that is a pretty lousy way to treat someone. Poor girl.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Step by Step's a good guess. It was part of ABC's Friday night block.

    Young actor: Sasha Mitchell
    Older actor: Patrick Duffy
    Older actress: Suzanne Somers
    Teen: Staci Keenan

    ReplyDelete
  22. Family Ties?
    Justine Bateman - Teen Girl
    Michael J Fox - Slighty Older Actor
    Michael Gross - Older Actor
    Meredith baxter - Older Actress

  23. You can't have sex after an abortion, the procedure is too rough on your body. It's like having sex after giving birth. I have a hard time believing the last bit..

    ReplyDelete
  24. @ Jo - thought of that, but Spade wouldn't have been married with a family.

    ReplyDelete
  25. The only problem with Step by Step is that I would say only Somers and Duffy could possibly be considered B Listers.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Heroes? Heyden, Milo, Larter and an old guy?

  27. PlainJane- I can believe he "asked", it does not say she actually granted his request

    ReplyDelete
  28. With Step by Step though, I wasn't thinking Staci Keenan, but the other girl with the long dark hair...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Where are all the still working B- listers from Step by Step?

    Family Ties was more than a modest hit.

    I still don't have anything to offer though.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Don't think it's Roseanne or Family Ties - those were more than modest hits for their networks.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Scratch my guess... Sasha Mitchell was married most of the time he was on Step by Step.

    ReplyDelete
  32. @ Sue Ellen - WOW, I totally didn't recognize her in Mean Girls!! Okay, Party of Five is out...

    @ PlainJane - I don't think the older actor cared whether it would be rough on her body or not to have sex with him. He clearly is too selfish to give a crap.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @Cake it says he's married with a family, so he would be no stranger to the whole no sex after giving birth thing. (or ending a preg in this case). That's the issue I had, believing he'd call that soon for that purpose.

    ReplyDelete
  34. The girl who plays Karen in step by step works since she only did two things.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This had to be a show that was on NBC Thursdays, Fox Sundays or ABC Fridays which were must see tv days on those real networks.

    ReplyDelete
  36. At least, it's not:

    Arrested Development
    Teen actress: Alia Shawkat
    Young actor: Michael Cera
    Father figure/analrapist: David Cross
    B- actress: Jessica Walter

    For a simple reason: Cross wouldn't wear cologne.

    ReplyDelete
  37. @Jo - 8 Simple Rules is a great guess.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Freaks and Geeks comes to mind. It was only on one year but developed a huge following (myself included). Most of the stars of that show are bigger stars now: James Franco, Busy Phillips, Linda Cardellini, Jason Segall, Seth Rogan...

    Sarah Hagan or Natasha Melnick could be the teen... But now I'm starting to lean towards Step By Step...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Family Ties/Tina Yothers/Marc Price (Skippy)/MJF?

    Wonder Years, Winnie?

  41. **I meant 8 Simple Rules. lol. Not Step by Step

    ReplyDelete
  42. Full House!

    It was on ABC (network) and part of the Friday night (I think) lineup.

    Teen: Jodie Sweetin a likely choice because her life has been a train wreck since the show, perhaps because of all this awful stuff? MAYBE Candace Cameron ... the older actress is Lori Laughlin, who is a seasoned actress and probably knows this awful stuff happens on the set.

    First actor: John Stamos. Second one: Bob Saget?

    ReplyDelete
  43. These blinds that involve actors drinking, etc. on set at studios always set off my BS alarm. I did the struggling actor thing for a few years in LA. Started out doing extra work, then got small speaking parts once I got my SAG card. In the process I must have have been on hundreds of sets, location and studio. I saw people hung over, but not a lot. People don't have the opportunity for this type of behavior. You're busy with assistant directors, hair, makeup, wardrobe, etc. Then you shoot your scenes and go home. No one hangs around after they've shot their scenes. Its not a relaxed party atmosphere. Its a grind. Take it for what its worth. That was my experience.

    @PlainJane, you do have a point however this asshole obviously has no concept of anyone other than himself.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The problem with 8 Simple Rules and Amy Davidson is that she's not a teen. She's 32. Even when the show was on she was in her mid 20s. She's one of those weird older actors that plays a teenager.

  46. Heroes.

  49. i like the 8 simple rules guess. boyfriend could be one of the boys the girls dated on the show. older guy can't be david spade bc he's not married, but it could be john ritter (nooooo), james garner (noooo/ewwww) or dan cortese (my pick if i had to bet).

    ReplyDelete
  50. I also thought of Lacey Chabert from Party of Five when reading this but according the IMDb she has been doing movies and shows. I didn't watch this show but what about the blonde in Seventh Heaven? With Jessica Biel being the older actress?

    ReplyDelete
  51. Don't know who it is but I hope somebody kicks both these guys in the balls.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Like bnl1016 said, Amy Davidson was in her early- to mid-twenties during 8 Simple Rules AND she and Kaley Cuoco have both continued to work this entire time. I don't think this show fits at all (and I just can't believe that John Ritter could be that terrible guy).

    ReplyDelete
  53. @ k8 - I thought of 7th Heaven too, but I ruled it out because I don't think any of the other cast members could be deemed solid B-listers.

  56. ^ I was trying to make this fit too, but it doesn't, there weren't any bigger actresses to tell Mischa that it happened to her before she got big enough, and Mischa does actually have a decent number of credits since then.

  57. I like the Heroes guess.

    Hayden P.
    Younger actor: Milo V.

  58. @ hairydawg - You MUST be a UGA grad.

    Gooooo DAWGS!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Seriously what is the deal? Do you have to be a grade A douche to work in hollywood? I get that grand douchery isn't exclusive to actors, but it sure seems to an epidemic in those circles.

    I have no clue about the show, but a "few years" ago to me would suggest something around 2008-2009. OC is out because it wasn't network. Big night would suggest it had to be a Thursday night as that is the coveted night in TV.

    Nothing suggest so far though, has given me an ah ha moment. Would love for some of these douche bags to be revealed to stop them from doing it again.

    ReplyDelete
  60. There really are too many options for this one.

    The O.C.

    Blind: Mischa Barton
    Younger actor: Ben McKenzie
    Older actor/father figure: Peter Gallagher or Tate Donovan
    Actress: Melinda Clarke.


    Too many options I think this one is unsolveable folks

  62. Man...I was thinking way further back, like The Cosby Show, or something like that. There really are too many family sitcoms to pick from.

    ReplyDelete
  63. An older guy forces himself on a teenage girl, then pressures her into getting an abortion,and has her physically escorted there. I doubt he would really care if how she was recovering when trying to get sex or bother with details about how long after you give birth before you can DTD.

    ReplyDelete
  64. The OC and Heroes don't really fit the "good family fun" description.

    ReplyDelete
  65. I don't know if the details fit but while I was reading along I thought of Melissa Joan Hart in Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.

    I'm not sure who the other actors were and if they are still working, other then Carline Rhea.

  67. @Rose, I wasn't implying he cares. Just that she's out of service at the moment and he would know that and not even bother. Like how when it's the time of the month guys avoid you like the plague. He, being a selfish arse, would have no use for her while she's recovering.

    7th Heaven for the show?

    ReplyDelete
  68. @anita_mark: that would be a good investigation to conduct, but I suspect it wouldn't yield anything definitive because the blinds that he tends to reveal are never the juicy ones like this. So who knows if he really puts photo clues on the very incendiary blinds that will never be revealed.... ???

    ReplyDelete
  69. My first thought was Growing Pains: Kirk Cameron for the sex and drugs before he got all religious and Alan Thicke for the pig. But the rest of the details don't fit so I'm posting my guess only to rule it out.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Reba. was on the WB/CW

    Blind: Scarlett Pomers. Hasn't done anything since.
    Steve Howey: slightly older guy
    JoAnna Garcia
    Christopher Rich: old guy

    ReplyDelete
  71. Honestly, these are starting to give me a headache. They're all clumped together in one paragraph and are so vague it could be anybody.

    ReplyDelete
  72. No clue and as said above too vague. I feel sorry for whoever it was and the actor who did it needs it cut off, but without even a time frame, or a better clue - I have nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  73. Guys- "This show was on a few years ago, but most the leads in the show are all working still and are solid B- listers."
    Not a show that was on 10-15 years ago. I.E Full House, Family Ties, Married w/ Children, Buffy, Party of Five, can't be any of them.
    I like the Heroes guess. Hayden, her creepy dad (rumors at the time the show was on that they were a little on the close side), Milo and Ali. FTW.

    ReplyDelete
  74. I like the "Heroes" guess a lot since a lot of the pieces fit and it was never considered to be as big a hit as it was expected to be, but I do agree with whomever said that the blind in question was "supposed to be good family fun" and Heroes wasn't a family show. Although there were families featured on the show. A lot of the plot lines of the show revolved around the family relationships of the different characters (fathers and daughters, mothers and daughters, brothers). Of course, it is also said that the teen in this blind was "not experienced". That would probably rule out Hayden P if we are to believe everything we've heard about her and her family. Sadly, she'd have been pretty experienced by the time she was on Heroes.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I like @.'s guess about Reba ... mostly because I noticed that Scarlett Pommers was starting to look really unwell as she got a bit older - I actually wondered if she had an eating disorder or something.

    This is bloody awful though - I think I've said this before, but these blinds should be required reading for anyone considering a career in Hollywood. Blech ...

    ReplyDelete
  76. OMG, "Reba" fits. Scarlett Pomers left the show for treatment for anorexia, which would explain Enty's weird mention of her not eating what she was eating that day, plus it might explain the ED from the trauma. I like Christopher Rich, so I'd hate to think he did this. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  77. Who is protecting these young actresses, and why wouldn't the older one protect her at least? Is fame and money and a career that important that you wouldn't do what's right? And what in the hell is wrong with this industry that is allows all of this depravity?

    ReplyDelete
  78. Just checked, and CR is/was married with children.

    Of course, it also said that Joanna had him officiate her wedding. If he were such a jerk, wouldn't Joanna know -- especially if Scarlett told her -- and would she really want someone like that to officiate her wedding?! Hmm.

    ReplyDelete
  79. Just to add some diversity I'm going to suggest:

    1. Everybody Hates Chris
    2. Grounded for Life
    3. George Lopez Show

    All modest hits that faded away a few years ago with most actors that were on the show still working.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Money, Money, Money and it has been going on since the beginning of the industry. "Father Figure" needs a Bobbin if you ask me. Had I been this girls mother and I found out - it would have been bobbed.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Reba and the show producers forced Scarlett Pomers to get medical attention because of her anorexia. She was focusing on recovery and helping others with their eating disorders after that and also said she was more interested in music in the one interview I saw with her.

    Her anorexia was really severe to the point she lost all the baby fat in her face (the stuff most women don't lose until very late teens/20s) and will probably always now look much older than she is.

    Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, David Cross, Tony Hale

    (clue #1)

    ...most of the leads in the show are all working still

    (so, it was on and then somewhat recently canceled, because the actors from the show are all working somewhere else)

    ... of a HIT NIGHT FOR A NETWORK

    The only network I watch regularly is NBC, and Thursday night is the night I watch it. What other networks had a night of back-to-back hit shows?

    ReplyDelete
  101. To add to what Em said:

    "a modest hit show"

    Some of the shows y'all are naming were absolute mega-hits, not modest hits. "The Cosby Show," "Family Ties," "Growing Pains"? MASSIVE hits, not modest.

    ReplyDelete
  102. In order for the young actress to feel pressured to have sex to keep her job, the older actor would be a producer of the show as well as a star. Otherwise, she could have gone to a producer to complain and to keep her job. Look for shows where the actor was the producer.

    ReplyDelete
  103. Doubt it's Adrian Pasdar & Jack Coleman since Milo gave an interview where they were gonna kick his ass for Hayden.

    Sasha Mitchell might have been married but didn't he get in trouble for beating his wife?

    ReplyDelete
  104. The main hints in the blind are that she looked at the older actor as a father figure, and the food issue. The male teen on the show had a rep for drugs.

    The older actress said she was pressured until she "got too big," which may mean she became more powerful, grew older, or it may be a hint to us that the older female star of the show was an actress who isn't skinny.

    ReplyDelete
  105. "teen who has not really done anything since"

    Megan Fox? Kat Dennings? Also, 7th Heaven? The writer is adamant about it not being an almost network show IE: WB/UPN/CW.

    I'm drawing a blank though. Maybe Lyndsey Bartilson from Grounded For Life on Fox, she's pretty much disappeared from television, though that may be bevause she has a somewhat unconventional look. Someone from Boy Meets World that isn't Topanga?

  106. TV Show - Roseanne

    Teen - Alicia Goranson

    Slightly older actor into drugs - Glenn Quinn (overdosed)

    Older actor/producer - Tom Arnold

    Older actress - Roseanne Barr (got bigger - large and in charge)

    ReplyDelete
  107. I am not sure how it is being missed, but he said, "a few years ago," not decades ago. Therefore, Family Ties, Growing Pains, etc are out!!!

    I am not familiar with hit network nights other than NBC's Thursday night, which they advertised. Therefore, am at a loss.

    ReplyDelete
  108. Kat Dennings has worked steadily in both TV and movies since he first show (she just hasn't had hits that got her a lot of press until her current show). plus that show with Saget wasn't even a moderate hit

    ReplyDelete
  109. Vague blind item is vague.

    I give up on this one. Not enough specifics.

  110. Clues:
    -show with at least 2 teens and
    -is a family show.
    -show was on a few years ago.
    -Not a huge hit show, but a modest hit.
    -was on during a hit night line up of shows.
    -on ABC, CBS, NBC or FOX.
    - Girl slept with an older guy on the show who is married.

  111. Rosanne, Married with Children, Growing Pains...these were totally HIT, Big Name shows. The show in question is a moderate hit.

  115. Family Matters.. Part of the Friday lineup - modest hit.. Major Network, "Family" oriented!

    The teenage girl is the one who they ended up getting rid of and who went on to do porn.

    Younger actor/boyfriend was Jaleel White.

    Older actor was the dad who was also in Die Hard.

    Older actress was the Grandma (lol) or the Aunt that was in Bosom Buddies.

    ^just a joke but hey it could fit!!

    ReplyDelete
  116. Lecy Goranson came BACK to the show after Tom Arnold was gone - remember, at least for the last year or maybe 2? She was in Boys Don't Cry, but little since. It is hard to think of Patrick Duffy being a pig!!! I have never read any bad press about him and would be so sad if it were him. Enty does shift clues around from time to time...could be too easy if it was a "hit" show...and Hope and Faith - the older sister was replaced by Megan Fox, she wasn't the original big sister - though I believe she was in her twenties as well. If not, that would be a decent guess, but I have already admitted my Ted McGinley crush - so please no!! Lol. The younger sister has been Jake's girlfriend on Two and a Half Men this year...

  119. 7th Heaven...WB/CW isn't much of a network...it's just, well, a network

    ReplyDelete
  120. "This show was on a few years ago, but most the leads in the show are all working still and are solid B- listers."

    See, it take this as more than literally a few years - that's it's a show from the 90s or early 2000s, and the leads have careers with some longevity.

    I thought of Tracey Gold, that perhaps being treated this way triggered her anorexia, but as was said Growing Pains was more than a 'modest hit'.

  129. Throwing some ideas out there, Dawsons creek? Felicity? Brothers and sisters? For the boyfriend who was just slightly older and obviously into drugs im stuck on Chad Michael Murray.. Y'all remember when people were talking about him maybe dating Elisha Cuthbert and looking reeeally skinny-messed-up around 2007/2008? He was also linked to Paris Hilton which is a sure druggie sign.

    I feel like liking the slightly older, druggie guy with the actress we haven't seen since is the key to this blind.

    Also, maybe Sean Williams Scott as messed up bf? I'm just throwing names out at this point. Which young men in hollywood do we know to have had drug problems/dui's?

  130. "Alicia Goranson had some unusual behavior that I still remember."

    What unusual behavior? Leaving to attend Vassar?! I remember hearing nothing "unusual" said about her or her behavior. And she came back to the show, don't forget.

    "Roseanne" was a huge hit show, perhaps one of the most popular of all-time. It was NOT a "modest" hit show, and I think Enty meant that literally, not to refer to the family on the show as "modest." Frankly, "modest" the Conners weren't by any stretch, except for their bank account.

    Think smaller show. If a show was EVER in the Top Ten, it is NOT a "modest" hit.

    Fox is a real network. Not network would be cable, WB/UPN/CW

    "Family fun" indicates that it may have been on the ABC Friday night lineup "TGIF", and revolving around a family (rather then friends or a workplace)

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TGIF_(ABC)

    Shows with teenagers & family were:
    --Family Matters
    --Sabrina
    --Step by Step
    --Boys Meets World
    --Just the Ten of Us (Growing Pains spinoff)
    --Full House (DJ & Kimmie were teens by the end of tshows run)

    FWIW, I think its Boys Meets World. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_Meets_World#Characters

    The teen could be Danielle Fishel. IRL, she dated costar Ben Savage.

    The older actor: I wouldn't think its William Daniels; but the father was played by William Russ -(married with one son) or Anthony Quinn who played a teacher.

    1. According to the blind: " The object of the entire mess was this teen who has not really done anything since because she was so traumatized by what happened. "
      I think that rules out Danielle, she had (has?) her own show on Style called The Dish.

    I read it as Enty saying she wasn't working a lot; not that she hadn't worked at all. So if taken that way, it fits.
    And yes - the Dish was canceled

  134. One detail about the teen I think many of the guesses are overlooking is: "When she first came to the show she got involved with one of the actors..." which, to me, suggests she was a later addition to an existing show/cast.
    Or am I misinterpreting?

  135. The show in my mind as I read this was in the TGIF lineup, a modest hit in a night of family programming.
    I had the dark haired girl, Angela Watson in mind as the girl who hasn't done anything since, with the blonde Staci Keanan as the girl with the advice with more fame.
    Sasha Mitchell as the uncaring boyfriend, and Patrick Duffy as the "fatherly type", who by the way, also directed the show, therefore actually had power over her role.
    Duffy and Summers are still household names and working. Staci Keanan, Christine Lakin, and Sasha Mitchell are all still working with varied but fair amounts of success.

  136. 1. A few years ago = like 2005+

    2. Moderately successful = wasn't cancelled the first year

    3. NETWORK: NBC, ABC, CBS, or Fox (imo Fox counts except it's not big on family shows)

    4. Hit night for THAT network:

    5. "Good family fun":

    6. At least 2 adult actors, 2 teen actors

    7. Most are B-list/working NOW except the teen

    Shit, there aren't that many shows that fit those parameters imo! And those that fit have problems (though I didn't go year-by-year, just a few minutes of looking):

    "My Name Is Earl" (no teens, cast not mostly currently working)

    "Samantha Who" (no teens)

    "Ugly Betty" — ???

    the Hit Night for network clue makes me think of

    -Sunday for Fox

    -Thursday Must See TV for NBC (almost no sitcom family shows except for Cosby & as previously stated was a huge hit, not modest plus it ended 20 years ago)

    -TGIF lineup on ABC - loaded with family shows & teenagers.

    I think this blind points to ABC b/c of the good family fun clue whether its Boy meets World, Step by Step or any of the others.

  138. This has to be about Family Guy.

    Meg is the teenage girl.
    Bryan was her boyfriend.
    Mort Goldman is the married man that got her pregnant.
    Trisha Takanawa gave her the advice.

  139. Gotta be Topanga- Boy Meets World.

  140. Does ABC family count?

    ALEXA VEGA has done some stuff since but not a lot..There were rumors she had an eating disorder and if you google "Ruby & the Rockits" it comes back with reviews stating "Ruby & the Rockits is a fun family show"

    There was also Life with Bonnie and Samantha Browne-Walters hasnt done anything in tv since...

  141. OMG...this is my 1st time posting but I must say this site proves that Americans are getting dumber by the minute. I don't have a guess but I understand by reading the BI that most of U R WRONG! 1st guess, "The show was on not that long ago. I think that would exclude the 70's, 80's and most of the 90"s. That bring me to my next point or hint. What show from the 70's or 80's have leads that are still solid WORKING B listers till this day??? That right there would exclude 95% of the above guesses. I wouldn't even consider that lesbo from Rosanne that is on The Talk a B-lister

  142. PlainJane -- rats like OlderActor see an unexpected pregnancy as something that happened to *them* not to the woman. So once his assistant made the pregnancy go away, he saw the girl as available to him again, because he's a sociopath.

  143. It can't be Roseannes show, the time-line is off, and Tom Arnold is rumored to be sterile, so he didn't get anyone on the show pregnant.

  144. I take these Blind Items with a grain of salt... mostly read them for Entertainment purposes as most of them just seem made up with just enough information to make there be a number of possibilities. That being said, it's still fun to guess.

    This just popped into my head: American Dreams with Brittany Snow being the young teen actress, Will Estes as the slightly older boyfriend, Tom Verica as the older "father" figure, and Gail O'Grady who told her to keep quiet.

  145. This is totally the actress from the George Lopez show. They made some excuse about her not being Hispanic after they wrote her out of the show but there was definitely something going on between her and George Lopez. The actress is named Masiela Lusha,

  146. AGC's revealed blind items says that it's Step by Step with the older father-figure being Patrick Duffy who had sex with one of the teenage "daughters" on the show. Suzanne Somers for the older actress who told the teenager not to tell anyone. I stopped watching the new Dallas after I read this. I could puke from looking at Duffy. What a pig. He should have been arrested, consensual sex or not.

  147. How disappointing if it was Duffy. I don't know anything about his private life, but for some reason I have always thought he was a good guy. But I am even more surprised that woman was Suzanne Somers, whom I have always admired. I realize there probably wasn't alot she could do, but having experienced the way young starlets are treated in HWOOD, I would like to think she had more empathy for someone younger (and a co-worker for that matter) and figure out a way to help out or at least offer some support. No woman should have to put up with that shit just because that is the way it has always been done.
