Your Dream Golden Girls Guest Stars
Here I am just thinking of what could have been with my dream Golden Girls guest star fantasies.
I’m imagining Bill Macy as Dorothy’s lost love. The one that got away.
Angela Lansbury playing herself in the Maltese Falcon Club episode.
Delta Burke as Blanche’s niece and a rival to her.
Lucille Ball as one of Sophia’s old friends from back in New York. (It goes without saying)
Valerie Harper as the wife of the man Blanche cheated with.
Cher as Cher
John Ritter as a man Blanche tries to seduce but he ends up getting the hots for Rose…or worse…Sophia.

OP wins his own thread. Angela Lansbury. No guest star would have been better.

I’ve thought it out and having the girls guest star in an episode of Murder, She Wrote would not work as it would be too serious and the hour long format would clash with the comedy.
But if Bea Arthur starred as her herself and became buddy buddy with Angela, it would work.

She was dead by 1979, R3.

Too bad Mae West couldn’t have played Blanche’s mother because that would have been a hoot!

The girls go take a cruise and Gavin McLeod or MacLeod or McCloud or whatever, as the captain. Vincent Price also guests as a suave elderly man Sophia falls for, who may or may not be a mad scientist plotting to blow up the world.

More likely she would have played *Sophia's* mother.

No, Vincent Price should have played a ghost — or at least let the viewer guess if he really was a ghost.

Liza Minnelli as Sadie Jablonski, who lived next door to Sophia in Brooklyn and for whom Dorothy babysat. Sadie had a few rough years, financial issues and a failed marriage that damaged her self esteem. Dorothy and Blanche invite Sadie to visit in an effort to boost her morale.
Meanwhile, Blanche wants the lead role of Velma Kelly in the Miami Little Players production of Cabaret and fans over the male producer. Sadie remarks that she loves Chicago. Dorothy encourages Sadie to try out but the poor woman lacks confidence and feels she has no talent. Ultimately, Sadie trys out, blows everyone away and lands the role. Blanche is pissed.
Thr girls give Blanche a lecture about not being self centered and how good the experience will be for Sadie. Blanche Ultimately agrees. The episode ends with Sadie in the show singing part of All That Jazz. The last shot shows the girls, led by Blanche giving Sadie a standing ovation.
