ATWT Casting News: DAYS actor moves East


Recommended Posts

  • Members

AP has the acting talent of Charity Rahmer and the charisma of an amputee mute. It will be painful to watch people I love on ATWT like Maura, Michael, Colleen, Jennifer and Jesse interact with such a bad perfomer.

*note to self*

buy extra remotes due to the prediction of many worn out fast forward buttons

I don't think this is bad news. Peck is not the best actor in the world, nor is he the worst, nor will he be the best actor on ATWT, nor will he be the worst actor on ATWT. And personally I thought John Loprieno looked a little old for the part, even though he became my favorite Brad.

May I suggest Christie Clark as a Rosanna recast?

If there's anything ATWT has proven, it's that they'll pick up other show's "hunks" and try and get the fans to sample the show. It doesn't work, however, we never get a bump.

Hopefully, once the stunt casting fails, they'll give him the quick hook.

Well, Austin Peck isn't my favorite actor in the world, but I'm genuinely glad that he got a new job so quickly. I thought that he performed well during Cwikly and Brash's brief tenure, especially his exit scenes "That's all folks." I think he's capable of stepping up his performances, possibly with a little training? One good thing about his move to NYC is that I'm sure that there are more/better acting classes available in the Big Apple than I imagine exist in LA. It would be great if he used the opportunity while he was in NYC to perfect his craft.....

One of the things that I admire about Bryan Datillo and Ali Sweeney is the fact that they still take acting lessons and they're constantly striving to improve their performances. Perhaps with a little coaching and maybe some mentorship from some of the older/more experienced actors at ATWT, Austin Peck might become a good actor....

I will complain until the day he leaves ATWT because I know he will still suck. Going from extreme crap to just crap is not an improvement for me. I don't wanna watch people learn to act. Hogan did this all the time with his teens, like Peyton List.

BTW Erica, I highly doubt Austin Peck will do anything for ATWT's ratings, besides they don't need it, the show is doing great in the ratings these days. Better than DAYS even...

I love hunks and they do need one with two leaving, but find one who can act. Besides, I don't even think he is good looking. I don't like his nose and I find him a little doofus looking. He's nothing special. Certainly no Paul Leydon, Mark Collier or the original Mike, Shawn Christian.

ETA:

Wait, I was reading on another board that Brad is Jack's OLDER brother?! How the hell is that going to be believable? I know they deSORASed Carly to about 30, but there is no way Peck will be believable as Michael Park's younger brother.

Another reason to hate this casting!

Brad is older. Jack believed for years that Brad killed their father (or something?) when in fact is was the drunken mother Delores (right?) I loved Broderick because of her attention to backstory like that, but with so much of that swept under the carpet by Laiman and Sheffer it's difficult to remember all her little side plots.

    • There are details through the thread, but yes, as mentioned, she hated Ellen Wheeler, and lambasted her for crying a lot, for her decisions with firing and Peapack, etc. Back in the day she also hated Pam Long, who created Reva and gave Reva all of her best material. The producers or writers she liked most seemed to be those who saw Reva in the most generic of molds, although she likely doesn't see it that way. She was OK on OLTL; I think @Vee could probably give a better summary. She was earthy and added her usual hard work to some trash material. There was nothing special going on, as yet again with patron saint Carlivati it was all plot, no character, and he cared more about writing for a cutesy child character.  You're right about what they could have done with Reva. Reva, Erica, and any women who are in story long enough face this problem. The biggest difference is Reva was allowed to age (even with the post-menopausal baby), which Erica was not.
    • Cali was the only Paulina for me on AW.  Was Judi Evans such a “name” that Cali was fired for her?  Judi basically played an entirely different character.  She could’ve been Nancy!
    • They were great together. Barbara was way too high maintenance for any man. You know Henry divorced her a$$ after about a year.  And, here’s an example of what I was talking about…
    • I watch every day as well, and I am enjoying the show. There's always room for improvement. TBH, things are much different from what I expected reading the character breakdowns. That could be a good thing! I'm willing to let them find their groove and figure out what kind of show it wants to be. The core and underlying theme. -I echo what a few others have said: The show is lacking in real romance and cross-starred lovers. But that tracks from (MVJ) experience cause the bell soaps are not good with romance IMO. -I have a feeling it's being built before our eyes, but we're missing that rival family. -I would prefer more variety of storylines. Good ones that could weave together the whole town.   -I struggle connecting to the male characters. So I hope they get a clear handle on them soon. Most of them feel underwritten and one-note. -Find a better purpose for Naomi. I fear she will be the first Dupree dumped. I completely agree. June's story does nothing for me. And what if she turns out to be Tyrell and Samantha's mom? They are very close to leaving high school. why should I care? If she turns out to be related to Hayley also, what's the long-term story, and why should I care? I believe Hayley can work on her own as a vixen. Does she need a sounding board? Sure, but you can accomplish that with an outsider's friend group. I didn't think I would be saying this, but I would entertain Kat having a forbidden affair with Jacob. Both Naomi and Jacob need something to do other than case-of-the-month storylines. 
    • That would really just be a redux of the Leslie/Eva story. I really hope they don't go there. My guess for the storyline with Anita that we have "never seen before on daytime" is that it may be a "me, too" story. Anita did unspeakable things to get ahead because of some disgusting producer, and the other person she left behind was a boyfriend who cared about her very much.
    • Reva and Zimmer needed strong adversaries/scene partners. It would dampen the negatives associated with the character and Zimmer's self-admitted excesses. I think that's why she was a bust on SB. I don't know how she did on her return to OLTL because I was not watching at that point. The problem for me with Reva is the same situation with Erica Kane. It ended up being variations of the same storyline year after year. I think if the show had truly broken up Reva and Josh and put them in other viable relationships it would have freed up the characters to have better storylines and character growth. Instead, it's as if the characters were stuck for decades.
    • I am still behind and know what upcoming week you are talking about.

       And I know I'm not ready and have not been since the official news. That was my first couple on that show. You won't be alone.    When you put it like that...same. Like I say in the thread when I'm more interested in what people are wearing than the stories...red flag. No momentum. Just stalling.      lol.
    • Y&R: 10% good, 90% garbage time BtG: 90% good, 10% garbage time
    • Valid question. Decades ago I didn't understand how this works, but then I learned.  But I never saw her as a romantic lead anyhow. I still dislike rapist Chelsea on Y&R.  And that show pairing her with her victim was just awful.
