And considering she's been working double-time to protect her deeply troubled ex, can you really blame the guy? TSJ (Todd) says "I would say there's obviously a desire for Todd to be with Tea. She comes over-a lot!-uninvited, and he never does anything to make her leave, so he wants her around. If he wanted her to leave, he'd stand up, grab her by the arm and drag her out!" That may be the case, but the question remains: Will his simple need for companionship lead to the exes reuniting once more? TSJ says "Whether he wants her around because he's in love with her or falling in love with her or because he's lonely, I'm not sure. We'll have to wait and see!" Kristen Alderson (Starr) has an interview. She talks about the possibility of Starr & Schuyler falling for each other & says it does happen in real life.

Members jjjg Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 What is TSJ talking about? Is Tea not leaving anymore? I guess we know what he's rooting for these days. Why are they testing Rex and Davids DNA to begin with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Port Oak Valley Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Why would they want to recast Evangeline? I loved Renee Elise Goldsberry in the part, but the character has such few ties to the canvas I dont think I want the character around unless Renee is in the part.

Members marceline Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Damn! Vanessa's deported next week? They didn't waste any time did they? But I think unemployment is still better than acting opposite David Fumero. The recast is just a rumor. But if they want to recast by all means try. I'd think RC would've figured out from Tina and Marty that a bad return is worse than no return at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Okay every single day mentions Cole. Do they honestly think ANYONE tunes in for COLE of all people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 They probably want to use Evangeline and know that Goldsberry won't return unless they meet the demands she asked for last time - the same ones that ended up with the contract negotiations falling apart. I don't see her as being a big enough star to make those kind of demands so I have no problem with them recasting if they need to use the character.

Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 They probably want Evangeline back for Cristian, unless they want to show us Todd weeping over her again. I hope this means they're keeping Layla around. I would still much rather watch her than Starr, Gigi, Gigi's sister, Marty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 I think Layla's on her way out and Rachel's her replacement. Tika's contract is up in April I figure they're just shifting that money to the other actress. I'm guessing the body double is part of Layla's exit where she decides to go be with her family.

Members DRW50 Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Couldn't they just have her decide that without a body double? Could this be for something more than an exit? You're probably right but I'll just hope until we know for sure. After the lame ending to her relationship with Fish and his quickie with Gigi's sister I'll be even more disappointed if she's written out.

Members marceline Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm not pretending to understand what's up with the body double thing. They did it with both Cris and Todd so maybe during his last contract negotiations ME demanded he get one too. I'm kidding of course but who knows. Now that Vanessa is history they're obviously scrambling to give Fumero something to do. With the exit of Talia, Layla (assumed), Vanessa, and Antonio, I'm getting the feeling that they're freeing up money for something. Hank is short term and RJ is recurring so it's obviously not them. Maybe they're trying to make FL an offer she can't refuse or setting the stage for TK to come on as Patrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tina m Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Wow.. I do hope Tea sticks around. Lots of spoilers here. I'm glad Vanessa is history (loved that Ray showed up on Friday ).. but what does concern me is that Mitch isn't coming back?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tina m Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 BTW, I believe I read somewhere that Renee Goldsberry is pregnant, so maybe that's why they need a body double? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 Yes. She's in her third trimester with a baby boy and after everything she's gone through to have a child, ABC's games probably are and should be the furthest thing from her mind. The 180 on the Mitch rumor is another thing that makes me think there's something brewing backstage, I get the feeling they were going there then changed their minds. JMHO.

Members SFK Posted February 21, 2009 Members Share Posted February 21, 2009 She's lovely, don't get me wrong, but was REG as Evangeline really all that?? I started to feel like she was a classic example of tptb getting a whiff of hype, and then creating and believing in a load more of it. I don't think she's irreplaceable, I think EPs/network honchos are awful casting directors these days, greenlighting all the wrong recasts for all the wrong reasons. And this is unimportant, but of course they gave the black girl a purple apartment. Poor Layla, it's like they've kept her withering on the vine just in case something could eventually get worked out with REG. Of course it'll never happen but when Janet Hubert Whitten was on as their mom along with other relatives, I thought their life down in Silver Spring, MD would make a great Loving-like spinoff, maybe OLTL's answer to GHNS.
