OLTL: Joey Buchanan Cast

[SFK]

Yes, last time we saw tow-headed CJ he was bopping around with Hayden Panerabread Sarah before Tina moved with them to Ballmer.

[Cheap21]

She was a 15 yr old hired to play a 16. They SORASed her bc it didnt fit into the history of the show, a decision which people still rag on 15 years later

Sweet Ask him how long Dan's returning for

[SFK]

Re: Kendall, exactly, they made somewhat of an effort to tidy up their timeline mess.

I think CJ has the same potential and more that a hitherto unknown family relation like Powell had. I don't think he *needs* Cord nor Tina to work, but he needs the thought and the respect in the writing room that you give to a character who is the next generation of your core family. Before returning and being *completely* decimated, Powell was an interesting character who deserved the same respect as Todd of all people before we were forcefed that he was the one who would *not* be forgiven for his mistakes and would be destroyed so Todd might live more abundantly.

I think in CJ's case, he would need his parents because the Lord/Buchanan family is too damaged to be able to believably welcome him. Viki's enabling of Todd and Jessica has taken away a lot of the family warmth and so has the sidelining/Asa-ing of Clint, as well as just how victim-ish and out of control of their own lives Jessica and Natalie sometimes seem to be. Not even getting into Bo, who no longer has any relationship with the family beyond the sneers with Clint.

If OLTL stays around then I wish they could bring back Cord and Tina and set them up as a different branch of the Buchanan family, one which does not have so much toxicity.

[SFK]

Yeah, I like that idea actually, and it's realisitc. My dad and his sister get along great but they lead very separate family lives with their own children and grandchildren. It would be interesting to see Tina of course continue to interact with her sister, but not have her life revolve around Viki's approval. Their little run-in a couple summers back was incredibly disappointing, ugh ugh ugh. But say, Tina and Cord in their own home for starters, not at Llanfair, not at Moorecliff/Alexandria/whatever the hell they're calling Asa's mansion these days, but at their own digs with their own life.

And why can't Cord come back and make a play for Kelly or vice versa?

[DeeeDee]

And be naked.

[Juliajms]

No kidding!! If Kelly is a cougar then every male character dating a girl more than 5 years younger than him is an old goat and that's nearly every lead male.

[alexisfan07]

I'm just saying the male is often older so it's interesting to me

[Cheap21]

when I see the term cougar, I visualize a woman who is significantly older than her male partner. Like 15+. Something like Dorian and David. Kelly and Rex? Not so much? She'd have to be dipping in the same pool as Starr for me to get that vibe from her.

[bellcurve]

Yep. Desire was the MyNetworkTV show about the mob and the chef. Other than Kelly Albanese(Cara), there was nothing desirable about this show.

[DeeeDee]

Don't give OLTL ideas!

[Cheap21]

Haha, next thing we will see is Kelly fighting Starr over James. Nate will be legal next year right? If not they can always SORAS him a year to 18 and Kelly can fight Danielle over him

LMAO! I liked the show. I HATED the constant flashbacks though. I cant even remmebr this guy

[marceline]

Why not? Dorian/Joey was so popular. Why not have the same Kelly who banged her stepson show up to next year's prom. It worked wonders for Jess didn't it? This time next year she'll be rubbing her belly in preparation of the birth of a brand new Ford.

[DeeeDee]

Starr's Chin Vs. Kelly's neck muscles for Feb sweeps!

Next year?

Nate's Benjamin Button ass?

The last thing OLTL needs is Kelly showing up to a school dance dressed like Samantha Fox.
