per a playbill.com article about The Grinch...


"His wife, actress Paige Davis (that's right: in real life, she'ss Paige Page), returned from a national tour of Sweet Charity in time for her husband's return to Broadway. Her next stop will be resuming her hosting duties for "Trading Spaces," a reality series for cable."

If it clearly says she is, why are you asking us?

Well because the show has gone with a "No-Host" format for awhile now, and I wasn't sure if they were still making new episodes.

Life would not be worth living if she didn't.

I absolutely adore Mindy Paige Davis Paige (MPDP, as she's known on TWOP). I couldn't be happier...especially since her firing was such bullSH*T.

I ADORED Trading Spaces. After she left, the show went so far downhill, it wasn't even worth watching any more. She made that show. I even watched it forever ago when Alex was the host, and Paige just made everything so much better. I kind of hope this is true, but I'm also really really hoping to see her back on stage again.

She was the reason I began to watch the show, and the reason I stopped. I wish she had stayed. I can't wait for her to go back!!

I, too, stopped watching when she departed. I also saw her opening night at Roxie in CHICAGO. I'm a little obsessed. I even met her at a friend's show and chatted her up a bit. She's a fun gal I'd love to drink with!

Awe MPDP.... I <3 her. She's a love. She's certainly come a long way from her ensemble tour days with Chicago.

Hell, I didn't even know the show was still on.

I haven't watched in years. Whatever happened to Vern Yip? I so want him to design my dream home.

I believe he has his own show now on HGTV.

His own, really bad, annoying show on HGTV.

I haven't seen it yet so I have no opinion on it.

I miss Ty as well....thankfully I have Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to help with that.

I gave up when that horrid woman kept covering walls with hay, moss and feathers. What's an idiot. If I saw Hildy Santo Thomas heading for my house, I would get my gun.

Didn't she glue fake flowers covering all the walls in someone's bathroom in one of the episodes? I would demand money to compensate for the cost to re-do it.

[JerseyGirl2]

Posted: 11/13/07 at 12:16pm

No, she actually used a STAPLE gun. The room had to be completely re-dry walled. And the thing is, it was a beautiful bathroom to begin with. It was just a friend of Genevieve's whose neighbor wanted to do it, so they volunteered.

WHo in their right mind would go along with a design like that to begin with? That was a complete waste of time and money.

I agree with JerseyGirl2, I didn't realize the show was still on. Count me in on those who stopped watching when she was fired.

I also thought she had a development deal with Oprah. Guess that didn't pan out.

Go, I hope so! Though I loved seeing her in the Chicago tour, Trading Spaces went seriously downhill after her firing. I can only hope they wil bring back some of the original designers as the new ones I've seen recently really SUCKED ASS.

A couple of years ago, she was in Pittsburgh playing Maria in "The Sound of Music" for our Civic Light Opera the same week as our Gay Pride Parade.

The parade route passed right by the hotel that the CLO headliners are put up and as the group I was marching with passed by it, she came out on her way to the theater to get ready for the matinee.

I screamed out "MISS DAVIS!!!!! TRADING SPACES JUST ISN'T THE SAME WITHOUT YOU!!!!!!!!"

She smiled and waved.

It's official - Paige is coming back in January. I stopped watching after she left.

On a side note - I love some of the rooms that Hildi designs. Some are beautiful and all are interesting and imaginative.

Hildi, Frank, Doug and Laurie are back as designers as well. Debuts in January.

Perhaps it will be worth watching again.


I disliked it when Paige left.

Plus they got rid of the theme song - which was half the fun!
