Brenda Dickson was good at playing Jill as a bitchy sexpot, however, it was a bit over the top at times. Also, its not enough to sustain a long term role.
Seriously, if Brenda Dickson was still in this role 23 years later, she would have had to make this character more multi-dimensional, which is what Jess Walton did when she took over the role.
I liked BD during this era of Jill, however, IMO JW is a better actress.
Skip the photographer was on that old CBS Soap "Capitol" as Jordy Clegg.. He really resembles the Famous Hollywoon actor Victor Mature... wonder if they are related.. There is an uncanny resemblance.. I still like Brenda Dickson as Jill Foster
"When the government finds a safe place to bury your liver." Way too funny!! Forgot how funny Brenda was. Jess is a completely different character. I must say, I miss this Jill.
Brenda is hilarious but she's obviously reading off of cue cards here LOL. It's kinda distracting. She doesn't even appear to be looking at Jeanne Cooper when she says her lines.
Brenda Dickson and Lauralee Bell in the same scene? I didn't even think it was possible. Did they even like each other in real life? I miss Lauralee Bell and I wish Brenda Dickson could come back.
Ahh, when hoity-toity accents backfire. It's a lot more fun to make fun of soap operas rather than just mindlessly watching them. I mean seriously, what kind of brain-dead person would you have to be to enjoy this tripe?
there's only one jill and that's brenda dickson. when she was fired from yr i lost interest in the character. jess walton was not good as jill. no one else could play that part like brenda dickson.
A lot of people think that. I think she was great. I'm surprised for such an audience pleaser they fired her for apparently being difficult. Some say they got it wrong. I wouldn't mind if she came back because she's great but I grew up with Jess Walton before I saw Brenda so I don't mind Jess.
@Sulla2300 No, it was the day Philip officially became a Chancellor. Jill left the courthouse looking like BD, then showed up at a party later that evening looking like JW.
Brenda's glossy lips used to drive me INSANE!!!! lol I hated her face.

Brenda was great as Jill in the 70's... not sure what happened in the 80's that she suddenly became this stiff, clipped, over the top ham.

Brenda is/was/still is mentally unbalanced, that always makes for a over the top campy performance!

Jess is great; but Brenda created this role. The two Jills are completely different. The acting, not so great, but the campness is fantastic.
BTW, love your name, "DarkKindaOrange". Just add a banana.
