It's almost certainly a bit role written for him that they'll just cut in and won't have any impact otherwise. I guess the other scenario is that there was indeed an actor filling a role for a three episode arc that got shafted and their scenes re-filmed with Oliver, but I doubt that.

IIRC, even at the time the overall agreement was that beyond The Killing Pool was a bit of a mess, hence Sally Sussman-Morina being shortlived as a HW. I agree that it's an odd spot to start uploading episodes, but I hope it's because we found out early about their plans and they just threw something together. But I won't moan about any soap starting to upload their archives. It should've been done a long time ago, but just this year we have both All My Children and Days uploading 25+ year episodes. Plus of course the Bold & the Beautiful app.

I think this is a pretty hard to combat with a soap based around a spot - or a cul-de-sac in this case. Either you stunt your characters so that they have no aspirations other than living there - but effectively, make the storylines lesser, or you give them ambitions beyond that and expand the scope. Or the other alternative you write out characters who've outgrown that spot and let others take their place (but then, viewers might not be ready to move on).

Well, they also had Kylie Minogue, Jason Donovan, Natalie Imbruglia and uhm Holly Valance I guess.

Blood & Oil was a bit of a mess. It was originally developed for ABC, then sent off to USA Network, then brought back to ABC as they saw the success of Empire and need a replacement for Revenge (you can even see the similarity in the promotional shots). For a short-lived show there were a lot of retooling going on, even bringing in the ex wife with a vengeance. It was pretty dire, but I guess not insufferable with only 10 episodes. It ends tying things up from memory (despite it originally having a 13 episode order but three being scrapped). From memory the pilot felt pretty silly. They were going out there to start a laundromat, but then they have a car wreck and decide to get into the oil business. Because it would be far too straight-forward to just have the lead characters interested in the oil business to begin with.

So you find her more exciting! I think you've lost your head! And I better keep on fighting... I'm a bitch when I see red!

It was campy but it also fit with Charmed at the time. I just think The WB quickly moved away from that.

I think the timing was just off for it. The WB was struggling financially, ended up cancelling Angel and then attempted more "family-based" dramas for the following season instead of more genre television. Two seasons later they ended up merging with UPN to try and put themselves outside the red. I feel like the Dark Shadows 2004 pilot was produced as a potential pairing with Charmed but that show was also aging. I've always wondered if the 1991 revival would've fared better on Fox. They were starting to go into the soapy melodrama direction at that point, didn't constantly break their programming for the war and were a bit willing to give things a second shot.

It's odd because it felt like a lot of other things were going on, but I wonder if they felt like they had to end it with a Karen cliffhanger or something. It's the same thing with Karen's kidnapping - they probably could've given that one to Laura as she'd gotten quite marginalized, plus narratively it would've made more sense that Greg's under-handed dealings would catch up with him.

I think an animated continuation could potentially be good? It doesn't have to worry about the aging or budget of what they want to do in the same way an actual live action would be. Adult animation series have also made a long way these past few decades and there's a lot more willing to take serialized animation seriously. I just hope they put a lot of thought about the animation style and doesn't go for something awfully generic or "manga". I hope people like Kathryn Leigh Scott are approached to do voices for this, even if they understandably can't plan long-term around the surviving cast members due to their ages.

Justice for Thrillin' Jill.

These are the options:

Erm, "Son 4-ever" might not have the implications you want.
