They could still show flashbacks with CR's Clint... similar things have been done before. Since it was so long ago, it might not even be recognizable. I don't think they'll show flashbacks though- since all actresses have aged almost 30 years and it's not necessarily flattering to them.

I don't really like Rex- but it would be interesting if Echo was his mother (although timewise it wouldn't work to have it be Clint's baby now that I think about it... unless she stole and froze his sperm). If Rex was Clint's, it would make him and Natalie siblings for real again...

I am familiar with Kim Zimmer and her work as Reva on GL (my mom used to watch the show) but am not familiar with her as Echo. But I will still continue to tune in. If it generates good story for the characters I want to see then bring it.

I could care less about Ford and his abs or James and his dimples. Frons and company have forced OLTL to steer in the Teen Disney directon over the years and that has caused issues for the show. Everytime Ron and co want to write something for the vets, it seemly gets tabled so the focus can turn to a younger character.

I much rather would see actors/characters who can deliver when given good material and who are a little more mature, such as Viki, Clint, Bo, Nora, Dorian etc. Ron Carlivati's Paris TX storyline for Viki was one of my favorites however I hear Frons nearly fired Ron because of the storyline. I am curious if Kim's hiring means the show recognizes fans want to see the older more mature characters

Her weight is irrelevant to me. Many good characters on OLTL are not stick figures out of Victorias Secret. Destiny and Marcie are two examples of characters that didn't fit the typical soap figure but who I wanted to see. Clint, Charlie and Bo will never be International Male models but I'd much rather see them than the Fords.

We all get older and our looks change. Unless one is eating like a bird and exercising 7 days a week (or have one of those special metabolisms), our bodies will change.

This thread reminds me of an online conversation Michael Muhney had with someone critical of his looks. They made fun of him, saying he looked like Frankenstein. Michael said the fan was entitled to his opinion and wanted him to post a photo so we all could see what the person looked like. He never did :P

Of course he didn't. People always say that stars choose open themselves up to criticism about their looks, like that gives people a license to be cruel. If you go by that logic, I think when you start ripping on someone else's looks and weight you are opening yourself up in the same exact way. It's only natural that people will ask you to put up or shut up. Most people are way to cowardly to put up in those circumstances.

I don't think that Echo's return or KZ has anything to offer to OLTL right now. She will propably be involved in some crazy storyline and some people blame GL's end on her.

I think it's very interesting to see posters make cruel remarks about a fat woman, when they want to act like gay activists or supporters of African American artists in other threads. Can you switch from activist to racist every five minutes that easily?

I just find it "ironic" that people here care so much about people who make fun of Kimmer's weight. What the hell is it to them? Are they big fans of Kimmer or are they just, per usual, getting on their high horses, preaching about right and wrong, and attacking posters to do it?

Toups asked that there be no back and forth and the same damn posters that like to butt in with their preachy theatrics and their "allusions" come into this thread to act all high and mighty after the administrator has politely asked that we drop the fights. And yet again, the same one keeps egging it on along with help from the morality police, Michael Muhney Fan #1.

A person who has problems at work because of one of the three might disagree with you. Same goes for someone who has been made fun of a lot in their lives because they were fat, black, gay, ugly, from another country or plain old. You are either respectful and sensitive towards other people or you are not.

All I am saying that one can't choose a category to be sensitive about and then be cruel to other "groups" because then their words mean nothing.

    • Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
    • Honestly who's to say Leslie even birthed Eva, I mean she's a liar, I wouldn't believe a word she says about Eva being Ted's(or hers)
    •   1. 11/1/83 cast/set list:  

      Please register in order to view this content

          The "11/2/83" video you posted of Ruth Buzzi's scenes includes Roman and Hope in them, meaning the video you posted is actually 11/1/83, since Roman and Hope aren't in 11/2/83.   2. The video you posted of "11/2/83" has scenes with Roman and Hope. As you can see from my cast/set list, Roman and Hope are not in the 11/2/83 episode (see above note):   4573...11/2/83: Cast: Mickey, Julie, Doug, Maggie, Neil, Don, Marie, Alex, Liz, Andre as Tony, Gwen, Chris, Eugene, Sandy, Letitia, Charlene, Mrs. Whiting, Wanda/Guard, Dave, Delia, Saleslady # 1, Saleslady # 2, Figure in Dark, Raven/animal, Cats/animals, Birds/animals.   2.  11/3/83 :My video collection starts with 11/4/83. so I don't have the 11/1/83 or 11/3/83 video, but in addition to the cast/set list for 11/3/83, here is also the parking clearance call sheet for that day, showing Ruth was not only in the cast/set list but did work that day:     They even had hired the animal trainer and all the animals for the day, so It's sort of a certainty that her scenes were not cut that day, or it would have been a big waste of the budget. 3. As for 11/7/83, I just fast-forwarded through that whole episode myself. Letitia is in it from start to finish. It's her big final episode where she is killed. She starts the episode saying "Eugene, are you there?" In the next act, Marlena shows up and meets Letitia's lion. Later in the episode, Letitia is killed by "Eugene" (the Salem Slasher in a Eugene mask).   So, as we can see from your own post, the 11/2/83 date you have listed on that video is incorrect, since Hope and Roman are in that video but not in the 11/2/83 episode.It seems the dates you have on all your early November 1983 episodes are incorrect.   When you post videos and suggest that my data is incorrect, do you not first compare who is in the scenes and see if that matches who is in the episode? You didn't do that with the "11/2/83" episode, which based on Roman and Hope being in it means that is actually 11/1/83. Best to do something like that first before suggesting my data and research is incorrect.
    • Within the Dupree family, I predict Vernon/Anita will be conflicted about what to do about Bill and his role in the whole Ted/Silk Press Sheila situation... especially since Bill knows where the particular bone about Martin is buried. Dani, Chelsea, and Naomi's reactions to what Bill possibly did isn't hard to guess.. but Hayley's reactions will be interesting to hear.  Especially given her recent pregnancy scare.. she might not be so much on Bill's side, or she'll totally surprise us and be totally on Bill's side.   Either way, I think Martin's secret will be the main focus in May sweeps.. with the fall out of the Eva secret playing out in the background... while the Joey/Vanessa/Doug thing continues to boil/develop.
    • Hotel was The Love Boat on land but a little soapier. I will forever maintain that Hotel was a time slot hit. I don't believe that 1983/84 Hotel was a better show than Knots Landing.

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.
