Ok! Back to my meeting with John Silva! :D Well he is still very good looking in person and a VERY nice guy! He was staying at the hotel for a wedding. He said that recently a woman came up to him at the airport and asked him why they didn't follow through with pairing John with Nina. He said he was stunned because that was a story they teased for 6 episodes. He couldn't believe that somebody would remember a specific story that only lasted 6 episodes.

On the subject of why he isn't on the show anymore, he said he was married to Rhonda Friedman, who has been a producer on B&B forever and when they got divorced she didn't want him there so he was gone. He said thats why you never see him when they have those anniversaries and events where he would likely show up, it is intentional. I told him that the Bell's are basically shut out of Y&R now so now would be the perfect time for him to return. He seemed shocked when I got him up to speed on things. He'd heard of Maria Bell writing the show and stuff, but didn't realize where things were now.

How interesting and cool.....:D you are so lucky!!! :D

I think it's great that he is still recognized, I would've told him I was hoping they paired him with Nina too.....and also asked what it was like to work with Tricia, Lauralee, M.Damian, M.Corbett, Jeanne, Jess, and even Kimberlin.....did you get to ask him about any of his old co -stars Chris?

I find it a little silly that his ex would keep him from staying on the show, not that I don't believe him but there must be more to the story.....

Rafe should have been a relative of Silva's maybe his nephew....that is if the show ever really cared about extending his family or following through with a gay story.....(Rafe competing for Harding with Kevin!!!.....haha just kidding....)

Watching the Lorie/Victor scenes, it would have been intriguing to see what could have happened had JLB just taken a hiatus rather than leaving the show. I think her Lorie would have been a real force for Nikki to reckon with. VM is also so subtle yet on point in her scenes. I do prefer McCook as far as acting in the Lance role, though Cole is better eye candy. I remember Cole from several appearances on Charlie's Angels.

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
