Gabe Kaplin thought he was a 70's/80's Groucho Marx. Marcia Strassman despised him. She probably wanted shoot herself having to play his wife and pretending that stupid $#*t he was doing was funny. Pernell was in his 50's when he did this and is in shape. Most 50 something men now days are obese. I was hoping one of the celebs would pull off Cosell's bad toupee.

Maybe Mark Harmon was embarrassed to be on a soap opera. I consider St. Elsewhere Mark Harmon's breakthrough role and NCIS his career resurgence.

Who knew that this group of teens would turn into the Flowers in the Attic Crew? Maybe Drew is right to keep Scout away from Danny at this point. With all of the swimming, I assume to live she can only stay on land a few hours at a time.

Thanks! I do remember him on OLTL. I do respect anyone that quits acting and goes off to business school rather than playing a character named Wyatt the boy scout into adulthood.

At least DAYS isn't guilty of false advertising. The promos are as dull as the show is.

Off Topic: Didn't the actor that played Shane on OLTL also go to business school? I remember last reading he had interned at Goldman Sachs?

With the way it was written, I don’t even think Renee Jones could’ve saved this. We could’ve only hoped that she would have injected some of Lexie’s established history into the day to day episodes, that way it wouldn’t have felt like we were watching a completely different character onscreen. Plus, all of this really shows that these mini stories don’t work, regardless of who’s writing them. Paula/Jeanne were basically the polar opposite of Ron; where when Ron only has an actor for a few months, he gives their character years worth of story. Paula/Jeanne give their character almost nothing to do. You could basically say the same thing about Jeremy’s return.

Frank’s still salty that he didn’t get his dream Jake/Charlotte/Wyatt teen triangle? 😂😂😂

😁

He can't act.

It's not worth remembering. He played little Sam, Blair and Victor Jr./Todd II's cute son on OLTL when he was five and then, because he never lets anything from OLTL go and is incredibly indulgent with kids, Frank decided to keep bringing him onto GH as this recurring needless character of a local boy scout who ran afoul of gentle farmer Franco (because the kid and Roger Howarth used to share scenes) and Finn, etc. The problem is that while Patrick was adorable on OLTL and is a sweet person he really is not an actor, is not interested in acting but the more airtime Frank decided to devote to this kid the worse he was onscreen, especially as he got older. I remember last time he was suddenly Jake's best friend or something getting life lessons from Dr. Finn. That was rough to watch. I figure Frank thought making him tight with Jake would suddenly mean they could use him even more. But Patrick went off to business school because only Frank wants him here.

After hearing the song, he should probably hone his craft a bit more. Also, I have no idea who Wyatt the Boy Scout is. I even googled him and read his little character bio and still have no idea. I was watching the show at the time, so I either blocked him out or thought he was one of Maxie's wayward children or something.

Come on, Frank, you should've hired him to play the new Aidan. He could've baked cookies and would've been featured more often than previous Aidan. It also would bring Liz's son back to town.😂😁

Ironically in the 80s and 90s, Days was known as the Chemistry soap (i.e. Supercouple era) because the writers tended to write story/couples based on chemistry they saw onscreen vs keeping strictly to a story bible. Genie Francis remarked that she spent two years trying to make her character on the soap viable, but found she had no help from the writers (while I think the writers were following her lead).. but mentioned when they discovered she had chemistry with Drake H.. she was quickly paired with him instead of Michael T Weiss (Mike Horton). They also weren't afraid to write off a character that wasn't clicking (i.e. Pamela Roylance as Sandy Horton.. even she said she struggled because she was acting based on what the writing was giving her while the writers told her that she needed to give them something to write.. and her chemistry tests with Tony Dimera and Chris K (Josh Taylor) didn't work nor did her friendship/scene chemistry test with Marlena Evans work.. and she was written off after nine months). Filming so far ahead prevents Days from doing the very thing that made them popular in the ratings in the 80s and 90s. BTG has already shown that filming so far ahead (four to five months) has hindered them somewhat, while they also seem unwilling/unable to deviate from their planned stories and couplings (i.e Ashley/Andre, Derek/Ashley, this Hayley poisoning Bill story). I also wonder if maybe that's why the Nicole dating Carlton and Kial story went on so long.. because they filmed so far ahead.. they wanted to see what the audience was leaning to and also to see the chemistry before making a decision. While Nicole/Kial have more chemistry, this stalling derailed Nicole's character arc and she lost momentum as a character. Of the Core 4, she feels almost like a supporting character when the first week set it up that she and Dani were co-leads with Vernon/Anita being strong support (I so want to see Vernon in a story that isn't tied to be Anita's butler... I want to see more of the Vernon that we saw during his interactions with Joey). Hopefully with this filming break.. the show has assembled a good set of break down and script writers... and come up with a viable season 3 outline that carries over the momentum of season 2 instead of it feeling like how it did at the start of season 2 (a reset of sorts after season 1).

Patrick Gibbons (Sam Manning, OLTL/Wyatt the needless Boy Scout, GH) is once again employed by Uncle Frank Valentini, to write Trina's song this week on GH. Nothing against Patrick who I loved on OLTL but oy vey.

NuScout has always given wet Hobbit to me. I won't be explaining this statement further. Somehow I am surprised to discover Patrick Gibbons (Sam Manning, OLTL/Wyatt the Boy Scout here) wrote Trina's song. Uncle Frank will do anything for OLTLers, especially the kids.

They don’t really care if an actor works or not on this show though.

Sorry if this was already posted recently. A Battle of the Network Stars (with ads) featuring Donna Mills, Cristina Raines (or as Howard Cosell calls her, "Tina"), Mark Harmon, Jared Martin, Lorenzo Lamas, Charlene Tilton. Around 20 minutes in Charlene gets a somewhat overly maudlin and unfocused package about her life and career. Harmon also has a package, but he doesn't talk about Flamingo Road. After the recent Pernell Roberts talk it was amusing seeing him proudly rocking a Speedo, which seemed to scandalize Cosell. Battle of the Network Stars|Episode #11|Studio Master - YouTube

wrong thread

That actress has to be so sick of being wet all day every day at work. The only thing I know about Scout is she loves her family and she loves to swim. It’s basically become a meme at this point that we will only get Scout after a swim. What is she going to do when it gets cold outside?!

I think that was down to PC doing telenovela style story arcs though. I can see being so far ahead being an advantage if you have a clear vision of a beginning, middle and an end. Plus, even if a story arc was bad on PC, it still had a pace moving forward due to them being three months. I mean, how long has Hayley been poisoning Bill again?

Lucas loved Lorie so much he married Leslie and claimed the child as his to save her marriage. Then Lorie (and Leslie) pretty much spend the next several years emotionally abusing/torturing him. Bill Bell milked that paternity $*^T for years. In the end none of the four L's wound up together permanently. If Bell wasn't going to let Lucas and Lorie be the end game, at least let him and Leslie be together. In the 90's it would have been interesting if Brooks had been brought on canvas and reveal he had a half-brother from the fact Leslie and Lucas had remarried at some point and had him. This could have come at a time when Tricia and Megan Dennison had been introduced on the show and Bell could have set up a new Quad. Brooks would be the golden child like Lance and the half-brother would be like Lucas (including having a beard).

I've said it before, but the only way for this to have any redeeming quality would've been if they had lured back Renee Jones for a short stint. At least we all could've agreed it that it was nice to see her on screen again, lol. But recasting for a short stint? No. If they were going to do that, they might as well just have brought her back permanently.

His man boobs.
