Members MontyB Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 Automaton! That's the perfect word to describe TSJ performances. I too welcome back Howarth. As far as anything else, I don't think anything is truly etched in stone as far as cancellation is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 At this point I'll take the possibility of a committed performance from an actor who's had to eat some [!@#$%^&*] over watching the "enlightened" new Todd mentally do his taxes and giggle about rape. The character has been obliterated and the acting has not helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 I wonder if as speculated in another thread if this was done deliberately, firing her before he arrives, because they don't want viewers to remember the rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 I seriously doubt that, and I've heard she may not have been fired so much as chose to quit. I remain convinced that one way or another, they will share scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 I hope so, because I saw him sleepwalk through scenes with Blair and Tea for years. He never did with Marty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 I think they will too, if only for a day, and if they don't it will be just as disappointing as Andrea's Tina never sharing a scene with Dorian and barely one with Viki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 Ha, I know how you feel about that word. Yes, in a sense, but more about business. Specifically, his price which the soap industry set by responding to his popularity/hype. He and his agents/managers know what he's worth to OLTL (whether we think he's worth it or not, I mean, you know how his loud fans feel about him). It's a given that when he went to ATWT, his people told them straight up what OLTL last offered. They know his price tag and aren't going to be low-balled when once upon a time (nostalgia!) OLTL treated him like he hung the moon. I remember RS talking about when she was forced out they were calling RH's name over the loud speaker non-stop to meet with TPTB as they tried their damnedest to keep him. I'm guessing this go round he was offered one of the highest salaries on the show (industry pay cut adjusted). Or maybe not, maybe they played the "soaps are dying, these are the breaks" angle, and maybe that's why it's taken this news so damn long to be solidified?

Members Cheap21 Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 that makes absolutely no sense considering the show references and acknowledges the rape frequently. Just today, that was touched upon again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 LOL suddenly cause it's RH Todd retcons can't be undone? Retcons are just that something that's been rewritten and that can be undone. RH as anyone but Todd is gonna flop harder than Tony Geary as Bill Eckert on GH did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted April 5, 2011 Members Share Posted April 5, 2011 Its better off to just get rid of TSJ and bring RH as Todd than to retcon the last 8 years of the character away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 The rape is now about remembering Todd wasn't the only rapist, about air quotes, about Marty being the one who needs to get over it, Todd being the victim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 6, 2011 Members Share Posted April 6, 2011 From Kassie on twitter: Thrilled Roger Howarth will b back. Between Ted, Trevor, & Roger... 3 amazingly talented actors. Possibilities r endless. Kudos 2 OLTL! https://twitter.com/#!/KassieDePaiva/status/55609282334437376 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
