How People Change !!

[LadyCG]

I'm reeling here.

Two of the programmes I always record and can't wait to watch are Emmerdale and Dynasty (the latter I was obsessed with as a young girl).

In Dynasty there is a character known as Prince Michael of Moldavia who marries Amanda Carrington, the long-lost daughter of mega-rich oil baron, Blake Carrington, before a military coup sees him and his father, King Galen, being exiled to the US.

I have watched Emmerdale for years and it is now the only British Soap I bother with. The character, Frank Clayton, is a loveable rogue and distinguished older man. I didn't like him when he first appeared in the soap but I've warmed to him now.

Doing a bit of surfin' earlier on the history of Dynasty and its characters, I was astonished to learn that Prince Michael of Moldavia (1985-86) and Frank Clayton (present) are played by the very same person - the actor, Michael Praed.

I'm totally stunned. How could I watch these two programmes daily and not recognise the same actor playing different roles, albeit 30-odd years apart?



What's the most incredible time transformation you've ever seen?

Slightly different, LadyC.....but time transformation must have played a part I think....

MrG and I parked in a small car park. A chap was loading his boot so MrG stopped and chatted....I just waited nearby and as we left the conversation went.....

Me: Who was that chap?
MrG: .....Well actually MrG just laughed.
Me: Come on....why are you laughing...who was it?
MrG: Are you serious?! It was your ex husband....your son's father....you're pulling my leg .....but I did wonder why you didn't speak to him.

What did I do? I booked a facial and new hairdo just in case I had aged as much as he had..... :-)

I think Michael Praed also played Robin Hood in a mini series years ago. He was quite dishy.

The most amazing transformation is me between Jan 2017 when I was down trodden by a toxic ****** and today.

[woofgang]

he did. He was the original Robin who reincarnated into Jason Connery. Music by Clanad.

BM, I never said, but I did have my concerns about you in 2013. Say no more! x

Gness, you strike me as a woman who has always taken good care of herself. A certain chap is clearly smitten ;)

So I understand, Woof. I can't believe I didn't make the connection. Even the most indetectable things usually don't escape my notice. Now I know, I can see the resemblance..

I only realised a couple of weeks ago that he was Robin Hood when I saw his name on the credits. He's still rather nice.

Michael Praed in Emmerdale?? I might have to try and catch up the last three or four years I've not watched it! The Hooded Man.

Get a grip, dear.

This is a UK based site, how would anyone have any knowledge of some dubious event that took place in another country?

An why post your remarks on an unrelated thread which clearly contravenes Site Rules?
