I know Doug Hutchison was praised highly for his work, but like Pelphrey I just thought he was very hammy (worse than Pelphrey).

While I readily admit to being a die-hard crusty curmudgeon, I am being honest and straightforward when I say that I never heard anyone praise Hutchinson for his work on TGL, let alone highly. Was it in a soap magazine? On the internet?

I do wonder what may have been if they'd culled some of the people who were just there because they were cheap and hired some stronger talent. This is another reason why soaps being an hour long and needing to fill so much time hurts them.

Soaps should have been cut back to 30 minutes each a looooooong time ago. Cutting the casts down to 18 or so players would free up some money to pay writers who can actually write.

I remember seeing this at the time, maybe in some soap magazine as I wasn't reading any GL board at that point.

Oh, okay. I was just curious. Thank you.

If I were held at gunpoint and forced to choose, I'd keep Tom Pelphrey on the show over Doug Hutchinson. Or Bradley Cole, LOL. 🤭
