Members Vee Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 That's news to me. What I have heard is that OLTL wants to bring both brothers back but is generally either forbidden from doing so with Kevin or in the case of Joey, handicapped. But they have their own problems as well, obviously. I get that Frons may be leaning on what is written, but the Joey story onscreen, while not horrific, is not exactly brilliant by any stretch of the imagination. It's not a winner. It could be with some heavy tinkering - you could make people go nuts to see Aubrey busted on her wedding day - but first you have to make them care about Joey and even Kelly. I think they hedged their bets on both Stacy and Hannah, and hoped that they might be able to make the characters work, until they couldn't. The Hannah back and forth was particularly embarrassing to watch, because Hannah was two-dimensional and Fahy wasn't good enough, she was no Susan Haskell and I felt like they were always just wasting my time with the laziest, quickest redemption story ever. There was a lot of habitual line-straddling, to paraphrase Charlie Murphy. With Kim we were definitely supposed to both love to hate and root for her, and I personally did. That was on the strength of the actress's performance and the writing for her with Clint, a combination that Crystal Hunt, Meghann Fahy, and Terri Conn cannot begin to match up to since they simply could not make their characters shine beyond incredibly nasty and/or mediocre writing. Why Kim has not been recast remains a mystery to me. Conn's acting here is pretty vapid, but that fits Aubrey. You give her enough dirty deeds and you have a fun story for a few months. Her best chemistry has actually been with Jerry ver Dorn, so why not let Clint take his enemy to bed before realizing how dangerous she is and how he is just trying to make up for the hole Kim left in his life?

Members dragonflies Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Wow really? I think that was just an excuse to get rid of DG cause Frons didn't like him, cause I find it hard to believe DG would be fired and something like this said about his character, but an actual abuser like Ryan on AMC is still around.

Members Astrid Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 I can't believe how stupid they are making Bo. All for Inezzzzz, the most boring drip I've ever seen. Yawn! Aubrey is as worthless as Stacy and Cutter is a sad SAD imitation of Jared, played by a medicore (at best) too-short actor. The show should do a natural disaster storyline where Inez, a couple of the Ford brothers and Cutter and Aubrey all die. Not even kidding. I think it would rock. The only people I see enjoying Cutter are the ones who are easily impressed by his smarmy good looks. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members matthewson Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Ryan Lavery alone managed to single handedly made me quit watching All My Children. Considering that I put up with Babe Chandler shoved in my face for years, that's saying something. Then again, as horrible as Babe is, Alexa Havins is a much better actress than Cameron Mathison. As for Kevin, I can totally see Brian Frons thinking that Dan Gauthier is sexy. We all know how much he loves showcasing Trevor St. John, JPL, Michael Easton, and especially the actors who play the Ford brothers. Brandon Buddy was a favorite of his too, actually. From what I heard, Frons and RC were actually trying to bring back Dan Gauthier. I remember reading several sources about how those "focus groups" hated him. Probably the same focus groups that hated KISH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 13, 2011 Members Share Posted January 13, 2011 Terri was interesting when they wrote an All About Eve story for her as a scheming b!tch. Then her initial obsession with Simon and comic moments were entertaining. When they started to make her a heroine, make her vulnerable, etc. she checked out, and she has never really checked back in. Some of her work at the end of the show was very self-aware and took me out of moments I wanted to care about, like Nancy's memorial episode. The best work I've seen her do in recent years was when Katie's husband Brad was killed. ATWT basically catered to her in its last years, and on OLTL, which isn't doing the same, she seems to just sort of be there. It doesn't help that things like characterization or consistency are going to be out the window. That could work, but I'm afraid it would end up with psycho Clint terrorizing Aubrey, and Cutter saving her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members chrishntr Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 ^^^^I wonder if this is some "dream" of Clint's or are the secrets really being exposed. It seems a little early for ALL of them to be coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted January 14, 2011 Members Share Posted January 14, 2011 I'm confused, did Vimal switch the results for Nat or Jess? Cause what I understand today he switched Jessica's which means Brody is the father of Nat's and Ford the father of Jessica's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
