According to the new SID, Phil Carey WAS back at OLTL taping scenes on September 12th. A Rep confirms that Asa is still very much dead, also a source whispered to SID that Roxy's love interest is being cast. Todd and Blair marry but Blair demands 5 million, much like Tea. (Nice Nod to History.)

Farah Fath's 1st airdate as Gigi is Oct. 24.

OLTL managed to get phil carey back to tape some scenes. a OLTL rep confirms that phil was taping scenes on sept. 12 but adds that "asa is still very dead."

This was in the "News" section. KdP talks. Just gonna post highlights.

when the chips are down, T&B once again come together for a common cause. but does their complex relationship limit any other romantic options that might exist?

KDP: it's limiting them, but not excluding them.

the current custody battle story seems to have provided a logical reason for the supercouple to reunite.

KDP: i wouldn't really call it a reunion. i would call it a united front, and i think it's totally due to blair's persistence in trying to help todd; they are trying to figure out a way for todd to get tommy. so he comes to the realization that he really does need blair to pull that off. and if they work together, then in all aspects of together, they can possibly make this work.

LOL "Finishing touches"......Sure.......that's what happened.

What's on your mind Toups?

Sounds good. Asa is back for at least 1 episode

RC says: we're mixing up some of the young people a little bit. sarah's going to be thrown into that mix and have a relationship with layla."

Cristian/Sarah - "i think they're great together. and we're building that right now. but they didn't get along that well in the beginning. she has this music experience and is determined to prove herself to the club, and you're just going to see that continue to grow for awhile. and we're going to throw some complications into any chance of them getting together."

The stuff with Sarah means that she becomes Layla's new roommate. All indications are heading toward Sarah getting involved with Cristian.

Interesting. It'll be good to have Phil Carey back on our screens again.

I'm intregued about this Lee Ramsey character.

The stuff with Sarah means that she becomes Layla's new roommate. All indications are heading toward Sarah getting involved with Cristian.

I'm getting the same vibe from them, that I get from Rex and Adriana and Antonio and Jessica... boredom. As for Sarah and Layla being friends... anything to justify Cristian "undying" love for Evangeline disappearing.

Roxy getting a love interest? I'm intrigued...

>> "[Lee] has a past connection to john

But of course! Who doesn't have some connection to McBane(ofMyExistence) in Llanview these days?

PC's one day return? Maybe a video will or some 'new footage' flashbacks. It only makes sense. They had very little to build up to Asa's death, and little mention/follow through until now. The appearance may give the story some momentum back. (I STILL say TIIC should have kept him on contract at least until the 10,000 episode to build up these stories.)
