    A great actress with lots of potential. hide show

    I think Barbara is a wonderful actress. She has played different types of characters,(strippers and a mom) and just with the role on One Tree Hill, her character has explored many angles, from working mom, to alcoholic, to drug addict, straight, and back again. She has been the saviour a time or two, and she has shown loads of talent. I'm still not sure why she hasn't been around much lately, but I'm sure we will see more of her in the near future. At least I hope we will. She hasn't gotten the recognition she deserves, but I hope that will all change.

    Average is her word but not because she sucks, but because of how many films and TV shows she has been in. She really isn't known by the audience but the ones who do know her know her as Deb Scott in "One Tree Hill". hide show

    Barbara started her career in the show "Sable" in 1988. Then she just started guest starring in TV Shows like "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Married with Children", "Hooperman", and "Open House". She has also been in film like The Terror Within 2, Delusion, and Striptease. Her most famous role though was portraying Deb Scott, Dan Scott's (Paul Johansson) wife (or I think ex-wife) in the best show ever created which is One Tree Hill. Although she might not be the next Julia Roberts she has made One Tree Hill fans love her as the **** she portrays. Her character is a mean and messed up wife because of her husband. I hope she continues to make One Tree Hill fans love her as much as they have. I hope she keeps on rocking.

    Boy now that Dan knows the truth I would sleep with my eyes open. I think they should bring her back and put her in a lot more rolls. I enjoyed her and Karen working together at Tric.
    She does a great job being the wife of Dan. Too bad the accident didn't at least knock some sense into Dan. Maybe now that he knows she is the one that tried to kill him, hopefully that will change him and not make him even worse.
