Was Scotty Baldwin almost on LOVING?

[DRW50]

I was looking through a TV Guide from mid-94, with Michael Logan addressing rumors. Several involved LOVING. One was that Debbi Morgan was going to be killed off to fulfill the prophecy of Ava's Uncle Harry. They said this would have happened if Debbi hadn't re-signed her contract.

I'd heard about that one, but I hadn't heard the one about Kin Shriner joining the show as Scott. Logan said that apparently Kin DID want to join the show, but the producers said he wasn't needed or it wasn't a good idea.

Can you imagine how different those last few years of Loving might have been if he'd been there? I wonder if he would have gone to The City, and if this also would have affected plans for PC. Would they have been more likely to keep The City around and just bring in a few other GH characters?

[Dr Neil Curtis]

That's interesting. Never knew any of this. I am sure The City would have been revamped again with more GH characters.

Sometimes I wonder where all the residents of Corinth neither AMC or OLTL mentions that town.

[Cheap21]

actually I cant rememebr the details, but Corinth was mentioned on OLTL a few months ago. I think Ford is from there

[Dr Neil Curtis]

Oh ok. I am just getting back into OLTL, its been a long time since I had a 2 o'clock soap, so I am learning more and more each day.

[EricMontreal22]

Corinth has come up on OLTL a number of times the past few years--not on AMC in a while though (I know it would never ever have happened but how cool would it have been to have Dinah Lee and Hannah come to Myrtle's funeral a couple of years back)

Carl this was news to me... I have to say as much as I loved Morgan Fairchild on The City, the show really came into its own when Tracy joined--and though at the time i didn't know her from GH, she quickly became a fave. (and I totally forgot about Ava's uncle's prophecy)

[cityfan01]

I had never heard the Scotty Baldwin rumor either!

The Ava's uncle's prophecy story kinda fizzled. Weren't they going to kill off Dinah Lee when Jessica Collins left but then decided to recast (poorly) at the last minute and kill Buck's newfound daughter Janie?

[DRW50]

I would have liked seeing Scott with Ava. I'm sure he and Alex would have had some good scenes too.

I wonder why they didn't just kill Dinah Lee off, as the recast wasn't on for that long anyway was she.

[Cheap21]

I didnt even know Dinah Lee was recast. I rememebr the first one looking very porn starrish but I liked her. I thought she and Trucker were good. Which was more popular. Him with Dinah or him with Tricia?

[EricMontreal22]

She did look porn starish but I liked her too. It was a kinda porn star with a heart of gold character anyway lol.

Tricia and Trucker were MASSIVE--SOD rarely paid any real attention to Loving outside the synopsises, yet they featured them an awful lot. (and I admit, while Trucker wasn't a great actor--by no means the worst, but--I did think he was the hottest of the soap studs at the time and they were a gorgeous couple--I think he left acting soon after). Trucker and Dinah lee never really caught on IMHO. Ido remember the recast but I think she left so soon simply because she didn't work.

I wonder if they ever thought about bringing Tricia to The City. I sorta hated her open ending, since I was so invested in her,..

[Cheap21]

heres a clip of Trucker and Dinah Lee and that hair....lol. I loved her big hair. I rememebr thinking she was so beautiful and he was soooo hot

I also hated how open ended Tricia's original exit was. She's dead but she's really alive, amnesiac in Europe. It took so long before they ever got back to her and that was only bc the show was ending and they never did anything wtih her after

[Dr Neil Curtis]

I would have enjoyed seeing scotty in Corinth or Pine Valley or even OLTL.

Question: what lead marco dane to Port Charles

[DRW50]

The short lived Dinah Lee recast was Elizabeth Mitchell, who kind of annoys me (mostly because of her horribly written role on ER), but who has gone on to a lot of primetime success.

I think he was a boxing manager and worked with Tracy didn't he?

[Dr Neil Curtis]

I knew he was involved with tracey somehow but didn't know how he made his entrance.

[Mr. Vixen]

I didn't know that. That's really interesting. I could have definitely seen Scott on Loving...And he would have probably crossed over to The City, or died, or just went back to GH.

But if he went to the City, they might have been more invested in it. I mean having 2 GH characters on there in 1996, it would be a cheaper way to do a "spinoff" of GH, since the show already existed. So PC might not have existed at all....

Lucy and Kevin may have also ended up on The City, or stayed on GH...And could still be there today.

It could have been really cool. Hmm.

[EricMontreal22]

I had NO idea it was Elizabeth Mitchell! I wish I had some on tape--I hadn't seen her in anything else until Lost, where she quickly became my fave woman on the show--that said she wasn't even close to enough to make me sit through V... And I can't comment on her ER work at all.
