It's possible he could get killed off with this mob storyline in the mix.

That's true. I meant to put die as well. But yeah that's my guess, die, jail, or recast.

Cole should just go to jail for beating Todd.

Like him or not, Cole's possible exit will have a big effect on the show.

Lord Women do have a tendency to have husbands die on them.

Viki's had 3, Jess has had 2 & Nat has had 1.

Goodbye to Susan Haskell.

Now I guess we will likely see final confirmation of what I've thought for ages now -- it's not Cole that makes Starr boring, it's KA's own performances and the show's complete inability to write for interesting young female characters. That and Todd choking the life out of her character.

I won't miss Cole if he goes but he at least had some roots in the show. Now it's just more relatives for Ford/BroFord/CreeperNate.

Well I actually like Brandon.

Kristen Alderson on the other hand is VERY lucky to have had such a long term gig considering her not particularly photogenic looks and level of talent.

When the show submits her name EVERY year for emmy consideration I snicker and think W.T.F.

No great loss. If Kristen Alderson was heading out the door with him, it would be prefect.

I don't get the losing weight part. TPTB asked him to lose weight? I have no problem with that. I would say about half of the men on the ABC soaps are sloppy and out of shape. They need to lose weight and hit the gym. The female actresses would never get away with gaining a pound.

Sexism is an ugly thing.

It is. It kills me when white men gripe about being held to remotely the same standards as everyone else. Buddy is offended that TPTB want him to lose weight? Someone tell him about what Y&R did to Adrianne Leon who is now pencil thin on GH. Buddy better wake the hell up. He is an industry where looks are all that matters, then again he would be welcome on GH and AMC where ABC"s the puffy flabby male actors reside.

But isn't that just it? If we can say injustice when Adrienne Leon is wrongfully terminated at Y&R after she "just so happens" to gain weight (which I believe it had everything to do with them ditching her, especially considering the replacement), isn't it also injustice when an actor feels like he's let "he fans" down by gaining weight? It's one double standard for another.

No. I have made jokes here and there about his weight, but he wasn't letting me down by being a little big. And it isn't even comparable to what happened to Adrienne Leon because he didnt lose his job over it. He was safe at OLTL,but had he been a female it would have been shape up or ship out.
