He's got a warmth to him. I can see a lot of gay men gravitating to him. He and Saundra mentioned how they knew a lot of viewers hated the Santos family. They blame the writing as Saundra asked for writing changes but it never happened.

Ryan Brown is mentioned too. He's moved back to Texas to be closer to his family and his son is going to college in Texas. I didn't know Ryan was a Texas boy!

Both were very talk active and Saundra talked about her other work and actors that weren't very nice. She goes into detail and then realizes it'll be seen.. Lol...got to love her. Alan had to cut them off though because he had to leave.

Its interesting how a lot of actors are fond of Hunt Block.

The later years of Craig was written to his personality. It's a shame because it was a mistake and made Craig cartoonish.

@victoria foxton btw PAS told Alan he loved him again

Also I'm surprised Alan hasn't interviewed Hunt Block since he mentioned he still keeps in touch with him. I'd like to hear about his time on Knots Landing.

She mentioned how Hunt would push Rauch buttons. He would  play a scene differently than it was rehearsed and Rauch would hit the roof.

She mentioned an actor in Primetime who made unwanted advances to her years ago and later they saw each other again and he denied it. Its a long story. You have to watch the interview.

Being Hispanic i was quite excited when the Santos family came on. But GL never handled them well. All the campy and cartoony mob drama sucked. I was never a fan of Pilar. Paula is pretty good playing the mom on the Netflix series On My Block. Paula was wrong saying the Santos were first Latino family on soaps. AMC already had the Santos. Always found the parents extremely stereotypical. But i digress this isn't the AMC thread. Heck even Days had the Ramirez family. Which was just April and Emilio. For the most part. I could be wrong but the Lopez-Fitzgerald over on Passion debuted around the same time the Santos did. Almost forgot about the Vega's on OLTL who also predate the Santos.

LOL..I wonder if this is true..as all the cast had to know Murray was gay..he never really hid it..but ya gotta hand it to BE..she had fine taste and was willing to try it all, including, if rumors are true.. a dabble with CW ) and somehow without being a die hard knock out...she got most of it...(she should be a gay icon!)

How interesting the GL storyline would have been if Cyrus was gay,...and Alex knew it and just wanted a charming, handsome friend and to save him from deportation, married him, and  didn't mind what he did outside until he fell in love with..???? Alan would find out and blackmail him into doing something but in the end Alex is cool with it and lets him go.

    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
