Season 9, Episode 9: A Christmas Secret

I really don't want to watch a Christmas episode, so...

Eileen Seeley is Elizabeth Forsythe in this MSW, and ADOPTION AGENT in "Ultimatums and the Single Guy." Woo.

Season 9, Episode 8: The Classic Murder

Following the theme of the previous episode, another MP dad is featured! AND, he also plays a father in this MSW! What a DAD ACTOR or DACTOR! BY THE WAY, his name is Wayne Tippit IRL and Buck Wilson in this MSW. Tippit is AKA Palmer Woodward, Amanda's father in multiple MPs!

Buck DIES and is thought to be in a WELL! When Palmer dies, his body is LOST AT SEA! BOTH HAVE WATER OR ARE WATER! THE PARALLELS!

Season 9, Episode 7: Sugar & Spice, Malice & Vice

James Handy appears in this episode as Lieutenant Pat Hogan! In MP, he is Matt Fielding's father, Matt Fielding SR.! Hogan arrests Michael Haggerty on the suspicion of MURDER! Much like Matt Sr. could not accept his son's homosexuality, Hogan simply cannot accept Michael Haggerty's innocence! ALSO! In MP, Matt was convicted of killing PAUL's wife, and Haggerty is accused of killing PAUL in this MSW!



Donna Bullock, who was Barbara Lewis in MP "Peter's Excellent Adventure," is Laura Downing, a business associate of the l8 and gr8 PAUL!

LOL!

Season 9, Episode 3: The Mole

Ken Howard is back as a philanthropist named Maxwell 'Max' Hagen! As you may recall, Ken is also known as Jane and Sydney's nice guy father in MP. In this MSW, however, Howard's character is a real d-hole. IN FACT, his goons even accidentally KIDNAP Jessica! Buncha jerks or what!!!

WOW, only one mutual actor, BUT IT IS A DOOZY!

MARCIa Cross plays MARCI Bowman, daughter of rich guy, Walter Bowman!

Perhaps, like Rita, Marci is just one of Kimberly's other personalities! OR MAYBE THEY'RE THE SAME ONE! WHO KNOWS!

Season 8, Episode 15: Tinker, Tailor, Liar, Thief

Kenneth Danziger makes another appearance as a character named Archie! This time, Danziger plays Archie Potter, P.I., whereas he made his previous Archie appearance as Archie Weems, who was not a P.I.!



Peter Dennis is Albert the Hotel Desk Clerk, and Jeweler #1 in MP "The Whole Truth"!

Season 8, Episode 14: The Monte Carlo Murders

Ian Ogilvy is back! In his previous appearance, he portrayed PETER Baines, and this time around, he is PETER Templeton, a former cat burglar, maybe?

Season 8, Episode 13: Incident in Lot #7

Julie Adams is back as Eve Simpson, OF COURSE! AND, Linda Porter appears as CLERK and as NUN in MP "The Daughterboy."

Season 8, Episode 11: Danse Diabolique

Robert Torti portrays a hunky ballerina named Damien Bolo in this MSW!



In two MP episodes, Torti appears as Jim Stone, a drug smuggler who uses pantyhose to get his goods into the country.



PERHAPS he is using the very same hose that he wore when playing Damien Bolo!



GASP!

Carrie Shacter in "Hook, Line and Hayley").

JUST KIDDING I WISH!

Chad Everett does return, though, and he has yet another great hairdo! Everett, also known as Lexi Sterling's father in MP, portrays Clark Blanchard, a well to do business man, who is MURDERED!



Clark's is found dead outside of HIS BEACH HOUSE, not the beloved MP beach house located on Beach Front Walk (1125 Capri Way, Oxnard, CA 93035 IRL).

It's quite sad that they are not the same beach house, BUT both houses are LIGHT GRAY!

I of course cannot find any photos of John Lavachielli as NYPD Ofc. David Morelli in this MSW OR as Alison's Guy in MP "Who's Afraid of Amanda Woodward?: Part 1." SORRY!

Jessica, who has taken the position of Criminology Instructor at Manhattan University, decides to lease an apartment in New York City.

A new setting also allows for the introduction of NEW REGULAR CAST MEMBERS! Unfortunately, none of them are mutually shared with MP, so they don't matter!

JB's new nosy neighbor, Rose Tessler, who only appears in this episode, is portrayed by Liz Sheridan. Sheridan is also in MP "Second Chances" as WOMAN SHOPPER!

There are also some familiar faces in this episode, such as EVE SIMPSON, who bids JB farewell early on in the episode with a BIG APPLE CAKE!

OUR TWO MUTUAL ACTORS TOGETHER:


YIKEZ!

Season 7, Episode 5: The Family Jewels

BRUCE (aka Stanley Kamel) RETURNS AND LOOKS GREAT! Kamel is TUFF AS NAILS campaign manager, Sid Staples. He really doesn't get much screen time, which is a lot of BS.

Like Kamel, Marcy Goldman is also making her second and final MSW appearance! This time around, she is Reporter #2!

Season 7, Episode 3: See You in Court, Baby

Ogilvy was featured in an earlier season six episode as Harold BAINES, an MI-6 agent and associate of Michael Haggarty (he is eventually jailed, etc.). This Baines, however, is a spineless fortune-hunter, who is later revealed to be Harold's brother??? NO WONDER THEY LOOK ALIKE!!

Daniel Trent, who plays Barton, appears in MP episode "Picture Imperfect" as HEAD CLIENT!
