Recommended Posts

From a daytime soap to a primetime one -- "All My Children" hunk Colin Egglesfield is the latest actor to check into CW's "Melrose Place."

On the CBS Par-produced ensemble drama, Egglesfield will play one of the leads, Melrose Place's resident Auggie. An avid surfer, Auggie works as a sous-chef at a hot restaurant while dreaming of one day working for himself.

I really like Colin, but have no interest in this show.

Ew. Word to the "Auggie" hate. If his full name is August, they should call him that...because August is a sexxxy name.

But I'm glad my boy got a primetime gig! And to think, people scoffed when the idea of him doing primetime would come up. It may be the CW, but it's still primetime!

He's handsome, he's charismatic, and his acting improved leaps and bounds when he was at AMC. As long as he still keeps that charisma, then he's a perfect fit for Melrose. I really hope he has a hit because I'm still kind of sad about the way AMC wrote him out.

Typical. As always soaps keep the people who would not get arrested anywhere else (Minshew for one) and let the people with potential go. The fans were so hard on this guy, with the whole abortion rap, they never gave him a chance. His looks alone made him a keeper for soaps, but instead they cling to hacks like Thorsten Kaye and Michael Easton.

I'm betting that his full name is actually Augustine. I also get the feeling that he'll be playing the part of the pretty-faced bad boy/son-of-a-bitch on wheels who's employed at a hot restaurant. I always felt Colin had the look of a schemer (which Josh definitely was) during his run on AMC.

    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
