Sounds like Rae Cummings all over again...............again.................again...................again

This makes me want to turn off OLTL for good.

I HATE Kim Zimmer.

She could not be expensive espically knwoing she is doing NOTHING.

Chill. And quit hating on Kim Zimmer, OKAY?!

She's doing something! She's had more "offers" and "talks" than Tom Eplin at an Emmy's afterparty!

Not to mention, she's involved in the Feed the Children charity. She's one of the children.

Since R Sinclair is not here.

Frankly, Zimmer's weight will likely determine her future on OLTL. There are no overweight women to be found on any of ABCD's soaps, and overweight older women getting airtime is a definite no, no. If she still overweight, this will be a very short stint.

Help! We tried to squeeze Zimmer into the opening credits, but they ripped!! Can we extend the opening credits by about 30 seconds to fit her in???

:lol:

Damn y'all! This has officially become the meanest thread evah!

She doesnt get any airtime. She probably is seen more in the opening that alternates every other day

Oh Beulah!

Damn y'all! This has officially become the meanest thread evah!

I blame "Wicked Watros" for casting the spell. She should be shoved around and bullied in another elevator.

It's sounds very 1970's which essentially it is. She could just as easily been called "Tuesday" or "Rhiannon."

Or perhaps ancient Greece with a French-Italian twist. I hate it when they glue the preposition to the surname.

One Lasagna To Lavish

Only Love The Lambchops

Only Lobsters To Lick

One Lemonbar to Love

Echo was a character created by Sam Hall and Henry Slesar. I really think it was Slesar's idea because she had really in common with some creations on Slesar in the Edge of Night such as Molly Sherwood. Kim Zimmer played the role from May to October 1983. She began as Reva on Guiding Light in December.

Here is a brief history of Echo's character:

After being voted woman of the year, Dorian went to a retreat in Arizona in May 1983 where she met a young woman named Echo. Echo, learning that Clint Buchanan lived in Llanview, prepared to head there. Clint was immediately drawn to Echo who reminded him of his first love Giselle and he offered her an assignment on the Banner.

Marco Dane was suspicious of Echo and Giles Morgan, Edwina Lewis’s flame. He was sure they were connected. He was true: Echo and Giles purchased survival and scuba equipment for a mysterious plot. She told Clint she was afraid of the water but was praticsing to swim underwater for great length of time. When she got an assignment in the same flood-torn town where Clint was staying, they shared a kiss and they were stuck in a cabin when a severe storm striked. They were trapped by Dick Grant, a mental patient but were saved. When Dick was taken to the police station, he shouted to Viki that Echo and Clint made love and Clint lyingly denied.

Giles warned Echo they should not forget that Clint took their mother Giselle away from their father. Echo was ready to leave Llanview because she was falling with Clint. Giles convinced her to stay for their revenge plan. Meanwhile, Viki Buchanan said she was ending her marriage with Clint because of his affair with Echo and began investigating Echo and Giles. She flied to Arizona to get information and learned Giselle drowned after falling off a bridge. Meanwhile, Echo attempted to lure Clint to the same bridge claiming she is ready to die for love of him. While there, Clint recalled Giselle : he decided to end their affair but Giselle’s husband threw her off the bridge because she was unfaithful. Dorian and Viki arrived on the bridge as Echo jumped off. Clint was taken to the hospital.

Dorian told the police that Clint killed Echo but Marco and Viki found her alive and brought her back to town. They learned she had amnesia. Giles talked Echo into claiming Clint but Echo found a note written by Giselle stating that her husband was violent. On the stand, Echo regained her memory and admitted she jumped off the bridge because she wanted to revenger her mother’s death. She wrote a letter to Clint about her real love but he refused to read it and Echo left town in early October.

How about "One Salary That Matters"

So how soon after KZ's casting news, will OLTL be cancelled?

So how soon after KZ's casting news, will OLTL be cancelled?

As soon as they give her a new insta-family. Jessica Leccia's character will be revealed as Echo's daughter with A Martinez' Ray Montez. Leccia's character will be revealed to have been molested as a child by a family friend and Echo will make it all about her pain and how she should have known what was happening. Complete with tacky lighting and a bed for Echo to rock Leccia's character to sleep in. Ford and his brothers will never call her grandma, but instead, "Mama Echo."

In other news, Pamela K. Long rejoins the OLTL writing team as a Story Consultant. You know what that means...

I think TPTB have seen potential in the deaths of GL and ATWT (pulling in some of their viewers)- it is no wonder they are scooping up another actor. I think Kim Zimmer was available- they were in a need of a story for the "older folks", and they just decided instead of creating a THIRD role for her (she already had played a role in the late 70's too) that they would just bring her back as Echo.

She has history with Clint, Viki, and Dorian. It makes sense if that's the group she'll be interacting with. This set is in need of a bump in story and if this is what it is- so be it.

They got GT/Kelly and KZ/Echo from GL... who are they going to coax from ATWT? Besides RH/Todd that is

:lol:

Damn, I forgot all about Epiphany. I hadn't seen her in forever. I take it back, there is one overweight woman on ABCD. Is she even on contract? Well, there just might be hope for Zimmer.
