Members AArredondo02 Posted May 31, 2018 Members Share Posted May 31, 2018 Some of the actors were miscast on Passions. James Hyde looked too young to be the middle-aged Sam Bennett. Richard Steinmetz would have been an appropriate choice. Hyde was more suited to be Hank. Michael Swan would have made an interesting Martin Fitzgerald. The actress who played Rosa Andrade, the Capwells' housekeeper on Santa Barbara, would have been a more age appropriate Pilar Lopez Fitzgerald. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LostinSalem Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 Does anyone know the circumstances that led Robin Strasser to leave OLTL and play Hecuba on Passions? She recently said on Twitter how much fun it was playing that part. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 She was pushed out of OLTL by Jill Farren Phelps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 I seem to remember that she was already off OLTL for awhile before landing Passions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 Robin left OLTL in February 2000 and joined Passions in October 2000. I was surprised to see Hecuba was a recurring character for two years. My memories have her petering out fairly quickly. That said -- and this tells you all you need to know about the type of soap viewer I was in those days -- I have a vivid memory of treating Hecuba splitting Luis & Sheridan's "love noodle" as an OMG, I've got the vapors moment. The love noodle, by the way, was from pasta served at a Harmony restaurant. If a couple ate from each end and made it to the middle without the noodle splitting, they were going to be together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 You're thinking of Margarita Cordova, who after SB played Carmen Torres on Sunset Beach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted June 2, 2018 Members Share Posted June 2, 2018 I always thought that the family's non-hyphenate surname became a missed opportunity for humor. Characters said their full last name so often that the audience began to think of Lopez Fitzgerald as a one name. However, it may have been amusing if the youngest one was an Irish looking redhead ( the Latin gene was dominant in that family). I wish they started using Theresa's full name including her married names. Finally, it would have been funny if the family still celebrated St. Patrick's day and Pilar made an amazing corned beef and cabbage while humming Gordan Lightfoot's The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 5, 2018 Members Share Posted June 5, 2018 I had forgotten all about the love noodle until now. Of course, that nonsense was all moot because Luis and Sheridan would not end up together in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted June 6, 2018 Members Share Posted June 6, 2018 As far as I'm concerned, that was a hallmark of Passions. Glacial-slow storytelling that usually went nowhere in the end. And I never missed an episode. With nearly 20 years hindsight, though, I'm questioning why I was ever supposed to root for Theresa. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted June 6, 2018 Members Share Posted June 6, 2018 The real mistake was portraying Theresa as a heroine. They should have made her a full-fledged villainess. She certainly schemed and manipulated enough to be one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 17, 2018 Members Share Posted June 17, 2018 No matter what they made Juliet Mills do as Tabitha, she probably still happily did it when she thought of this. Just so sad: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members LostinSalem Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 It’s been over a year since the cast brought up the Castleton spin off at the fan fest, is this still happening? I can’t find any information on it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members frequentsoapfan Posted November 7, 2018 Members Share Posted November 7, 2018 Paloma #2 was miscast and JER seemed to losing interest in many characters when they moved over to Direct TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
