Brandon Beemer lookin' fairly Slim Jim-esque.

Just report it.

What's darkly hilarious to me is that when Jill jumped to OLTL she brought Satra with her, and her character was again immediately raped. This time though they couldn't put the role over and she was gone within a year. (I don't know if the Barbara Graham character was intended to last longer, but I suspect so initially.) IIRC she also did a brief fill-in as Felicia on GH during JFP's time there. But I can't find any evidence of that so I may be hallucinating, or just mixing up the Sandra Ferguson recast.

If it ever happens I'll eat my hat. But yes, that too.

My suspicion remains that they thought Maurice played it too nice, but you're possibly onto something similar too. I remember being surprised at how charming MJ's Ted was considering the casting notice for Dr. Ted instantly made me think serial killer lol. But I guess that's part of the point of the character having a dark side/secret, provided they're not too diametrically opposed.

We don't need to just post 'oh?'. We really don't. Anyway, like others I have no faith in anything changing at DAYS. Call me when they bring someone in from outside.

Dude has been warning 'this show/actor better bring it!!' since early last year when he realized P&G was not accepting unsolicited creative submissions. He just repeats the same 'warnings' over and over. Vanguard Accounts #1-3 don't actually care about Johnson so much as concern tr0lling every aspect of BTG because it is not his soap and never will be. Next month he will have some other Very Serious Concerns.

Plus, this show is barely 25 episodes old lol. Anything playing out with Dr. Ted now was clearly planned from the beginning regardless of the actor. Sorry that Tr0ll Account #3 didn't get the show bible or any creative input whatsoever. Don't call them, they (won't) call you.

Jacquie Courtney has consistently been underrated by a generation of two (or more) of fans who for years only had access to her via Harding Lemay's memoir. It's nice to be able to see her in the last couple decades and for me at least, she was consistently very, very good. I'm sad she's gone and we never got to see her on a soap again in one of her old roles, or a new one.

You are goofy, sir.

Hawthorne Sr. really does look (and sound) exactly like Overton lmao. I don't mind the senior Duprees being very famous. I do find it silly when they just keep sitting around and talking about it. I'd rather see it manifest in plot and new characters. They've done everything but have a breakfast talking about Vernon being the first Black man in space.

IIRC Stephen Smith is a big fan of the show. That's fine, I don't begrudge him appearing, but I don't need his appearances to be some serious dramatic role.

Go away, devil!

We all know what this means on soaps: Time for Dani to adopt a streetwise white child and deliver them from poverty!

Goofball behavior.

Oh good lord.

That's even crazier than the apparent period report that OLTL almost recast Gabrielle with Eileen Davidson around the same time.

What exactly was the issue with Don Hastings and Veleka Gray?

That I will watch. It sounds lovely.

Posey IIRC offered a different version in an interview some years ago. She said the movie came up, she had a conflict with the show and when she went to them to talk about it they asked if they could write her out ahead of her contract due to the summer months coming up or some such period, therefore it all worked out. Still, tomato/toma-toe.

I just never cared about Julian, lol. WdV is a weird dude to me and I thought he made a good, effete villain but that's about it.

Eddie spent the last few years beating cancer and just got married. He looks good. I don't think acting was ever for him outside OLTL with his sister, though he did end up becoming a great actor. It's too bad we'll probably never see him on daytime again, but I am happy for him.

I do think Jacob and Hayley have real chemistry, I just have yet to find him (or Naomi) very compelling. That's a couple you wanna start busting up to see if they work with others. Jacob's corrupt father is much more interesting, and I would like to see them introduce his family (no way is REG ever coming back to daytime, lol) which they clearly are working on. In part because the only non-related options on canvas are Derek and Tomas the synth! And I just do not buy it when Bill asks 'where's my fire-breathing dragon of a wife?' and Hayley weepily replies 'right here 😢' lol. MG is a nice girl but I have yet to be convinced she can play Hayley as more than a doormat. I hope she surprises me in future. I'll save the rest of my 1 month report card for the end of the week. I think it fits Hayley. I'm not convinced Bill would be into it, but I can totally buy him going with the glam home furnishings picked by a young wife half his age. I do think the living room looks the size of a sorority house's, lol.

It's on the last page.

Hayley's costuming and decor for the house is like drag. It has to be deliberate, but it is tacky.
