Members Saving ATWT Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Van/Luke is hot and real. Jake/Noah looked like a dumb jock and sort of plastic. The hair models on OLTL bug me. ATWT had pretty people who, regardless of 'faults' had sex appeal. Hated when they made a big deal about KMH being old! OLTL just feels air brushed!

Members R Sinclair Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I find it funny that ATWT ended up having both Real Andrews and Julie Pinson at one time, who both wound up on ABC Daytime after P&G originally turned them down for being "too sexy."

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 When was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Mid-90's. Michael Bruno said he tried to shop Andrews and Pinson to P&G and was declined because the brass thought they were too sexy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Lord love Bruno. I assume that was before Playboy.tv's Stephen Black and Henry Stern were hired as HWs for ATWT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Actually, that might've been around the same time, if not a little later. It is funny, though, to think P&G would consider certain actors "too sexy" for their shows. By the end, it seemed as if they'd have been thrilled if someone like Jenna Jameson had joined the ATWT or GL cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I DO admit Valentini is a good technical producer. Up until recently, OLTL(next to GH ) was probably the best looking soap in daytime. I think alot of the reason why OLTL looks so awful is because they're not taping in HD like The Kids, therefore, the show looks inferior to its siblings. A show has to make a significant impact in demos and in viewers to get renewed or to not panic about cancellation. A .1 difference will not keep a soap from getting the axe. Word to the part in bold. And I agree 100% with everything you said there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Fair point, and I agree--it's something that when done right, you can take for granted. Considering especially that for ages they were in one of the smallest spaces for any show (they have moved to the old AMC studios now, right?), and, while all the budget talk annoys me, it's undeniable that they have a tiny budget, he really does wonders there. OK, that's kinda what I thought... Thanks! Haha! Glad you agree I dunno, maybe it was with the nude model this week, but it just kinda struck me that the types of guys we seem to have parading shirtless more and more on this show are starting to look more and more alike... (Even Eli went from lightly hairy to suddenly glistening smooth mid Ford invasion ) I suppose if I'm ever in charge of hiring a stripper for a party of Valentini's I'll know what type to look for.

Members bellcurve Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I agree and make no mistake: Valentini does SD right. But it's just not enough when AMC and GH are both taping and broadcasting in HD. OLTL looks awful, small, and pixelated. I also wanna see what his location shoots look like in HD. Those have gotten alot better over time. Men like Brandon Barash are sexy because of the fur. LOL. I'll be devastated if he shaves that. We need more hairy types in daytime.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Ha I admit I like at least a bit of fur on a guy--so that's my bias, but when it's obvious they're so unaturally waxed all the time, and that's the one body type you see--interchangeable really--it just gets boring. LOL. Brody used to have a bit of trimmed hair--but the last time I swear he was waxed. Anyway (Oh and I agree 100% about the location shots and seeing it in HD--to bring this back on topic ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 2, 2010 Members Share Posted October 2, 2010 Which is amusing to me, since I think ML tends to have Wolfman-like qualities (or maybe it's just how his hair is cut?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
