It was bound to happen since Larson has been heavily used under Pratt. Wonderful news, it will be up to Broderick to use her more.

but with Pratt gone, the chances of her continually being used went down. Glad that it wont be the case.

Petey seems like an obvious addition now, right? These things don't happen over night, they must have known that they were going to resign Jill, and do you think they're planning on recasting Petey?

I feared that as well. Hopefully putting her on contract will guarantee her some airtime. Using Larson on a more regular basis was one of the few things Pratt did right.

Awesome news!! Getting put back on contract is so rare, I hope we'll get to see more of Opal now.

Ah, that's too funny. They need to just ask him to come to LA. Let him stay on recurring for the time being and give him a contract after a few months. There's no reason not to keep him around.

After the frequency with which we saw Jill on-screen this year, it was probably cheaper for ABC to put her on contract than to keep paying her a per day rate.

True, but they could've dropped her altogether. I'm glad they realize what an asset she is to this show.

Yes, absolutely. She's loyal and she stuck through with the show. I'm glad they're realizing her talent and importance.

Now that Nelson is actually sourcing everything, I had to laugh at what little he is actually reporting on his own

Why the heck did they get rid of Daniel Kennedy then as Petey? Makes NO sense at all. He was even willing to relocate.

Nelson you got outscooped, Soaps in Depth had this in their newest issue, so I wonder if he actually got it from them

I thought he wanted to stay in New York?

Melissa Parker (Our Prattville): Would you be interested in a role on another soap?

Daniel Kennedy: I’m open to it as long as it has me staying in New York City because I’m going to school next semester to finish my degree. So, it works out that I’m staying in New York.

I don't they really ever had plans for Kennedy other than occasional comic relief. They'll probably recast out in LA with some generic, boring fitness model with acting aspirations. "The role of Peter Cortlandt is now being played by Greg Plitt."

Thanks, I hadn't read that. I know he was upset they just got rid of Petey the way they did. I hadn't realized he was in school

I think he was perfect to play the son of Palmer & Opal.

He sourced SID. Not that that would stop him from injecting some sort of "My insiders confirmed what was speculated in Soaps in Depth..." thing.
