Members amybrickwallace Posted March 30, 2014 Members Share Posted March 30, 2014 Indeed. It's a testament to his acting, chemistry with Robin/Kelly and screen presence that he made a run of only three months into something people still remember today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted April 1, 2014 Members Share Posted April 1, 2014 In my mind, Eden and Cruz reunited and are today enjoying their grandchildren!!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted April 2, 2014 Members Share Posted April 2, 2014 In my mind Cruz dumped eden after he reunited with her off screen in favor of julia. Cruz & Julia should have been explored when Eden was written out. Pairing with eden's sister was a dumb move. Didnt Kelly already pick Eden's sloppy second with this Barr guy? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 3, 2014 Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 Robert Barr (Roscoe Born), that's who you're thinking of. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted April 3, 2014 Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 I didnt get to watch some of the stuff towards the end becuz my local station which broadcast the show in french decided not to air the last couple of seasons so I only watched some later stuff on yt so im unfamiliar with the show towards the end of its run. I remember getting so mad becuz they stopped broadcasting with no warning and left most of the storylines that were on-going unresolved. Santa Barbara was a huge hit in Quebec. Loving too. Which has always been fascinating to me. I imagined they would have both been a hit in the US. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted April 3, 2014 Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 I know that Marcy was already back on AMC by the time Roscoe Born showed up on that soap. They were in different storylines, does anyone know if their characters ever crossed paths? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted April 3, 2014 Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 I thought she went to GL after sB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cuzIsaySo Posted April 3, 2014 Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 She returned to amc when Tangie didnt work on GL. I am trying to remember who the hell Roscoe ended up playing on amc. All i can think of is Nick Rivers but that was The City so... Did he play a recast for david beecroft's character? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 3, 2014 Members Share Posted April 3, 2014 (edited) Roscoe Born portrayed Jim Thomasen on ALL MY CHILDREN. Originally, he was a passenger on the same plane crash that "killed" Dr. Maria Santos (Eva La Rue, "C.S.I.: Miami"). He became acquainted with Brooke English, played by Julia Barr. AMC's writers even hinted at a romantic relationship between the two. (Or maybe that was just my impression? I must admit, this was during one of those post-early-'90's periods when I wasn't following the show as much.) However, Born abruptly quit the show after he got word of Jim's Big Dark Secret: back in NYC, he was a kiddie porn photographer, and one of his "subjects" just happened to be Brooke's adopted daughter, Laura Kirk English, then played by Lauren E. Roman. Born told the soap press he left b/c he himself was a father to a young girl and not only did he find the notion of portraying a pedophile too much, it also wasn't what he had signed on the dotted line for either. I can't recall off-hand whether Jim and Liza's paths ever crossed. It's possible they did, since the story at that time was that the crash was caused due to corporate negligence on the part of Liza's husband, Adam Chandler (David Canary). By the time Brooke shot Jim Thomasen dead, however, Jim, now played by David Forsyth (ex-John, ANOTHER WORLD; ex-Hogan, SEARCH FOR TOMORROW; ex-T.J., TEXAS; ex-Burke, AS THE WORLD TURNS), had been outed not just as someone who had abused Laura years before, but also as the one who had actually engineered the crash.

Members cuzIsaySo Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 What a disgusting storyline. Glad Roscoe borne decided to walk. I usually hate when actors pull "crap" like that but in that case I applaud him. At the risk of sidetracking this thread who was writing at the time? Was it mcTavish? I cant believe they even imagined such a horrible storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 4, 2014 Members Share Posted April 4, 2014 Not at first. Lorraine Broderick was the HW at the start. McTavish was the one, though, who turned Jim into a terrorist and killed him off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
