ha! that's a really good idea though...that Riley is the Glory host (though I almost typed "Glory hole" which adds another unnecessary layer).
I figured whatever they had to remove that was killing him (whatever Maggie Walsh did to him) was blocking Glory, so when they took that out, she started appearing. I think it would have been a whole lot better for relationship angst than vamp!hookers, it would have made Giles actions in The Gift that much more hardcore, and it would have saved us from Charlie Batch's "acting".
I like the Riley-as-Glory idea! And if they'd brought Lilah back, instead of Eve maybe we could have had Christina Hendricks as Glory.
So, Batch was Ben?
Charlie Weber. My bad. Charlie Batch is a journeyman backup NFL quarterback. I have no idea why that's the name I came up with.
I think if they'd just cast any more experienced actress for Glory it would have worked out better. The shows got so much good work out of older antagonists played by actors like Mark Metcalf, Harry Groener, Sam Anderson, and Keith Szara-whatever, but Lindsay Crouse is the only actress of middle age or older that I recall them casting in a recurring role.
Not that Juliet Landau, Stephanie Romanov, and Gina Torres weren't all wonderful, but I wish casting directors had been more mindful that young, beautiful, and talented triple threats are rare and prioritizing the first over the third can cause problems. There's no real reason that Glory couldn't have been played by a Lena Olin type, for example.

Kristine Sutherland is really hurt right now.
Ah, I was thinking in terms of recurring villains. But you're right, they did give one actress over 40 a fairly important role throughout.
I was watching when Roslind Shays "took her plunge". It was totally random, I was in the TV room at the dorm, which I never went to and suddenly, BAM! She was out!
So was I!
Well, not at your dorm. That'd be creepy.
But it was a show I didn't watch and I just blipped onto it in time to watch the scene preceding it and then blammo, elevator shaft.
Well, not at your dorm. That'd be creepy.
Well, it was the TV room, not like it was my bathroom or something.
