Nicolette Sheridan
Anyone else feel like she ruined the show?
It became all about her and that is what killed the show for me.
Plus Greg was old enough to be her grandfather.
It was gross.
She was one of the best characters on the show. Nothing mamby pamby about her, and she was a good foil for Abby. At one time or another each main character had the "all about him/her" moment. These are called arcs.
Greg and Paige were HOT together. Not gross to me.

I loved Paige and Nicollette!! She truly became one of the female leads, even though she was younger than most of the main cast. Interesting, as Paige started off the vixen, but became the female lead. When Donna Mills left, they stepped up Paige's character, but she didn't replace Abby as the resident b*tch, so they had to bring in Paige's mother to fill that role (and later Greg's sister).
shareI agree, Nicolette Sheridan was surprisingly good as Paige. She started off ok but by her 3rd year on the show, she really kicked it in! Season 10, with Paige fighting Abby for Greg, was really awesome, and Paige herself was a complex character- not quite a bitch but not quite a heroine, either. She was the perfect combination of Mack and Anne; she had a sense of wrong vs right like Mack, but was just more selective, and she was spoiled and more self-absorbed than most people, like Anne. The episode where she found out Ted Melcher killed the Japanese actor was great, because she wanted to turn him in to the police, but Greg wouldn't let her, choosing to send him to Japan to go after Abby instead. Paige usually did the right thing, unlike Abby.

I just remember one scene where she was walking down a hospital corridor, dropping flowers, walking really slow lost in her moment (can't recall what it was). Perfect. Not over acting and no gimmicks.

Actually, moosefeathers, the scene you described with someone walking down a hospital corridor and dropping the flowers sounds like Jill, when she went to visit the old lady who had forged the letters from Ben to Valene for her. She saw Karen, Mack and Frank outside the woman's hospital room and overheard them saying she was dying and she walked away, dropping the flowers and lost in the moment, just as you described.
But a Paige moment that really sticks out for me was when Paula had a little meltdown, tired of the way Greg and Anne were treating her, and she yelled at Greg something like "your own daughter died and that didn't even bother you!" and then she saw Paige and sincerely encouraged her to forget about Greg, saying something like "men like Greg may seem like more fun, but they end up being colossally boring." During that whole scene, when Paige is watching Paula scream at Greg, you can tell that she really feels for Paula, and her expression turned sad for just a moment. I always liked that small scene, something KL was known for, I think, those small moments.
It was Paige, visiting Ann in the hospital dropping the flowers she brought for Ann when saw that Ann was not really as bad as she made herself out to be (i believe she "attempted" suicide). She was wearing a white skirt suit and her heels were clicking on the tile floors very sadly.

Moosefeathers, thanks for the correction! I'll have to check that scene out again sometime.
