AMC: Bobby Martin

[SteveFrame]

I also remember Margo Flax being referred to as older than Paul when she and Paul were married. It was never referred to as her being a lot older but she was older which fueled part of her desire to have the face lift. First Jason was involved with the beautiful Erica and then her new husband was younger than her.

Margot had to be about the same age as Joe - at least that is the way it played to me.

As far as I'm concerned, they can save a middle aged Bobby Martin for AMC's very last week, have him come downstairs towards the beginning of Monday's ep and say to Joe and NuRuth, "Got my skiis all waxed, so who's ready for an awesome weekend at Whitetail!?" To their perplexed looks, "Did I miss something?" Aaaaaaand, cue the flashbacks.

About 10-15 years ago, I too thought that bringing back Paul Martin was a good idea. However, bringing him back now would present problems as far as longevity of the character is concerned. Even though he is Joe's "younger" brother, if he has aged appropriately off-screen, I think he would be "too old" of a character for the canvas (at least this is the way Brian Frons would see it). De-sorasing him wouldn't work, because then he would be Tad's age, and he's supposed to be Tad's uncle, though not blood related.

If the show wants to bring back a Martin, I think Bobby would be a good choice or maybe Paul got married off-screen and had a family and one of his sons or daughter can come to the show.

"Bobby Martin is like Judy on Family Matters. They went upstairs one day never to be seen again.

Quite funny if you ask me. "

Well except Judy had dialogue (small) stories, etc... Bobby has been blown up by urban legend. He was NEVER a feature of Pine Valley, just a small unused feature of Martin's widower family

With the way AMC does ages, de-sorasing Paul would not even be a problem with them.

I mean Erica has already been deaged to Tad's age.

When Jeff came back he was desorased. He was supposed to be Tara's big brother but there is no way John James could have looked to be older than Karen Lyn Gorney.

Hell desorasing is not even a problem for daytime at all. Look at what Days did to Mickey Horton.
