camom January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 Let's give this a whirl... A is for Author Barbara Thorndyke. In that episode Dorothy treated Rose and Blanche horribly.

Miss Chevious January 30, 2015 Share January 30, 2015 (edited) B is for B*tch. Rose turned into one when she didn't have her meds. Remember how she yelled at the TV pizza commercial guy.

BookThief January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 G is for Gloria Dorthy's sister who slept with Stan. I'm on the fence about whether this is actually a time when someone acted out of character or a random addition (because we didn't really know Gloria that well. This could have been totally in character), but I shall let it go... H is for Hope, as in, Rose thought her father was Bob Hope and caused a ruckus, even if it did work out in the end. As Dorothy said, "This Bob Hope story is odd--even for you." 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/9534-golden-girls-alphabet-game/page/19/#findComment-776799

Blakeston February 3, 2015 Share February 3, 2015 (edited) L is for Little person. Rose may have been clueless in a lot of ways, but she was usually good about understanding other people's feelings. And yet in the episode with Dr. Jonathan Newman, she knew that the other girls had invited him over for dinner, but she still didn't bother to inform them that he was a little person. Which put him in the situation where he was mistaken for one of the Donaldson kids. (He took it all very well, of course - but I can't imagine any middle-aged man likes being confused with a paperboy.) I get that the writers wanted a scene where Blanche is caught off guard. But couldn't they have just had him drop by unexpectedly? Or have the girls invite him as a surprise, without telling Rose?
