Members Vee Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 What a waste of a great actor in a lame role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 This will be his second time on the show. He played a short-term role on OLTL in the late-80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 Are we assuming this is contract/long-term? I mean, is he gonna be the new Mitch? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 What Vee said! Yes, he played a lawyer on OLTL around 1989 or so. I think he represented Gabrielle or someone? It's a shame such a charismatic and talented actor is playing a generic creep who will be there to prop the disastrous Edsels. The sad thing is back before soaps started their big downward spiral a short term guest stint could be electric. Like Shipp's run as Douglas Cummings on ATWT. He was only on there for about five or six months but he changed Oakdale for years and years. At least we might get some kind of amusing homoeroticism in his scenes with the Fjords.

Members Southofnowhere Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 Wasn't he on AMC as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 Yes, in 1992 as Carter, an abusive ex-husband of a character named Galen... He ultimately became obsessed with Natalie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 Hopefully he can add SOME layers to this lame sounding character. I first knew him as the woman beating Carter Jones on AMC (which led to his crossover to Loving) and I thought he was terrific--but they did write the character with a soft side, getting into his own abuse as a kid, and then his loving relationship with a blind Natalie (before she realized who he was...)

Members marceline Posted September 22, 2010 Members Share Posted September 22, 2010 To me he'll always be Kelly Nelson from GL half of one of my first supercouples: Kelly and Morgan. I can practically hear the strains of You Needed Me playing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
