Thanks!  And I see this was right after the whole Frannie and Darryl remote which I loved!  Speaking of love....also loved the Sean recast in MKL. I hated the original Sean. He looked too gay to love females...LOL.  And I was correct in that there was a warning before the episode premiered.

I didn't mind the first Sean (I thought he was kind of hot), but I don't think Marland knew what to do with the character. He also didn't work well with Frannie. The whole story was oddly heavy which didn't work for her when she was new back in town and needed time to build as a recast. 

 

ATWT was so dark at this point but Marland mostly made it work. It's a very dense viewing experience but it's on good form. It's a lot more like modern dramas than anything on soaps now. I'm just sorry that he didn't get to finish out his last few years as HW.

Probably. I think FMB did some kind of set purge. God only knows how old that set was.

 

And bite your tongue. It may not have been "pretty", but it felt like a Midwestern farmhouse kitchen.

Ah, man..those pictures ruined it for me...he looks so skinny..why did he"shave" and uh, no one should wear that little blue number he has on..he looks so porny there....not that I am jealous of your happiness or anything.

 

As for Burke Moses (who played Gaston on stage) I thought he was hot with looked like "man"  baby!  I dont think Marland knew how to handle someone like that..his guys were all homely boring or porny looking.

Oh my imagination had so much "more" involved..if you know what I mean and I think you do...that's okay I wouldn't kick him out of bed for eating crackers but he really needs to stop the shaving thing...

 

Marland's porny guys "Holden and any of the various farm guys in tight jeans/Evan/Duncan/

 

Boring and homely..Tom/Hal/Midget Paul/Andy (sorry, I know that is against the law to say that but...)

Ha...only Holden was hunky for me. I didn't care for Evan or Duncan.

Gregg Marx's Tom would be more of the porny side....but Scott Holmes was more homely/boring type....LOL....I thought AK's Paul was cute.....and let's not forget Model Paul...but that wasn't DM hire....neither was the Paul after that.

Yea, I was referring to Holmes's Tom, not Marx's Tom, who I don't think was porny at all..just sexy and wholesome... ( and would make the perfect dream husband and I would just know what to do with that nasty viper Babs...)  I wasnt into Duncan at all..he belonged on Days not ATWT and Evan, well, lets just way it was way too obvious why non of his romances worked out!

 

Funny thing is, I didn't think Holden was all that back in the day (of course I understood why others did) but thought he got sexier as he got older.!!!

God..those are cheesy!!! No wonder everyone thinks the soap industry is low rent! I love Orange Boy in his 90's gay Daisy Dukes bending over for the camera!

    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
