I'm so torn about Roger.

I love Paul. But the writing for him is horrid. Paul Stenbeck Ryan being reduced to the Snyder psychic babysitter is ridiculous. He SHOULD be written as the son of James and Barbara, I don't know why the show moved away from that.

On the other hand, Roger's Todd is my favorite character EVER. I would love to see him return to Llanview. But there are also rumors that he could return to Llanview to play a relative of Todd's, which, while it would be VERY strange to see him in Llanview and NOT playing Todd, might be an interesting angle.

I love TSJ as Todd but I wouldn't mind seeing Roger back. There's just more history with Roger that I can't feel with TSJ, as much as I love him.

And honestly, in this trying times, why are actors asking for the moon and the stars? LOL. They should know better.

I loved Roger's Todd; the tortured anti hero but I do feel that TSJ has made the role his own.

Roger is being wasted at ATWT, but OLTL shouldn't fall hostage to his demands once again.

I hope REG and TSJ can work osmething out. If not, I wouldn't mind Tangeline leaving town together.

Maybe TSJ should play a relative of Todd's. I don't know about anyone else, but for as much as TSJ has made Todd his own, Roger's portrayal made him seem invinscible. I'll never beleive that his version of Todd would've been so easily handled by the likes of Margaret and Spencer.

REG and TSJ are looking out for themselves. It's shortsighted, but when the show lacks any sort of vision or leadership, it is to be expected. After ME probably got the moon, stars, and the universe, I can't blame them for asking. The problem is that the pie was shrinking even as ME asked for his huge slice.

Just curious -- soapdish looks defunct. Any story there?

    • Not trying to be a contrarian, but I don't think the show needs a rival family.  Rival families have been over-done on soaps since the 1980s. And it might make the show too predictable.  I'd prefer they beef-up the have-not group with perhaps a couple of workers from the Country Club and one or two Dupree servants, joining the existing group of have-nots.  That would give the audience more opportunity to see Fairmont Crest life from the "backstairs."  To me this would be a far more interesting perspective than another wealthy family to rival the Duprees.  
    • I wonder if that's why Valerie quit. I think some of the magazines at the time implied issues with Valerie and the producer, although I may be wrong. Painting Diana as going bad would have made more sense to me near the end of her run. 
    • Carter & Thomasina were also stuck with a baby almost immediately and didn't get much to do after they finished high school. Carter's father was killed off and Marley drifted out of their friend group because of Jake. They left town after Carter's father died (of tomb dust!) and before Quinn died (unreasonably murdered by the Sin Stalker for dating Zack Edwards).
    • She most definitely would. And I would enjoy watching it! Yes, I agree, that was a very touching moment in her interview. It helped me feel much more connected to her as a performer. I also got the feeling from her, Live with DD, that she wanted to go deeper in conversation.   
    • It really does feel like JG is getting off on torturing Shick fans.
    • That part I am not sure about, maybe Depboy might know?  The thing to remember about the show at that time was, it was so plot-driven and desperate that characters and their motivations changed virtually overnight.  There was a period of time where Diana Taylor suddenly became a bad guy and was in cahoots with Cameron Faulkner (toward the end of Valerie Starret's portrayal), which I HATED.
    • I'm going by clips so it's possible that the fan who did the editing made it look a different way than it was. 
    • I’m sure Trisha-Mann Grant would love to play those layers too.  It stuck me when she said in an interview that she could identify with the pain Leslie carried because she was a single mother of two struggling with no help raising her kids at one point. You can tell playing Leslie means a lot to her, as devious as the character is (which I’m sure is fun to play for any actor)!
