Maximillian Decker as Carlos? I remember him. He also did the Broadway play Take Me out where he had a full frontal nude scene. He was quite conceited at the stage door. I did not interact with him, but it was obvious he was expecting more of a crowd than he he got.

Isn't it wild.  I know that memoirs can be filled with scandalous info, but (despite her crazy introduction) I have no idea how she thought this would make it to print.

Yeees. It's soo wild. 🤣 It's the type of thing you type at 3 in the morning, drunk and crying... With classical music blaring and the neighbors calling the police to check up on you. And then you wake up next morning and you burn what you wrote.

The problem is Megan woke up the next morning and continued typing.

Oh wow--I know that play but had no idea he was ever on Broadway...  Is this the same Maximillian?  https://www.ibdb.com/broadway-cast-staff/maximillian-alejandro-116499

Speaking from experience? (I'm teasing to be clear...)

Yes But not a bad seed.  I think both were killed off--though I admit I can't remember.

Thanks.

Absolutely yes! 😁 I've been that type of messy autobiography girl many times in my life. But thank God... I always hit the delete button.

I also have loved reading your posts.  I have no idea who was being rude about them (either I can't see their posts or they've been removed) but I want to stress that it's not how most of us feel.

Oooh, thank you. That means a lot. ❤️ I'm glad you didn't see it. It was not worth your attention or time.

That's the one.  He was quite conceited, and you could tell he was disappointed he did not get a lot of attention. I guess he thought the AMC fans were going to show up to see him. He was beautiful in person, but he knew it so....

Oh boy...  I forgot DePriest wrote that storyline.  No spoilers except to say McTavish kinda retcons it in one of her biggest storylines...

The Megan McTavish Curse! ❤️

Thank you for not spoiling it... I...am still just hoping Erica doesn't end up in a cage somewhere. That scene with the creepy doves and the clown cutting up Erica's picture in the newspaper scared me. Not as much as Megan's autobiography... but still the hair on my hands stood up.

LOL the only McTavish cage storyline I can think of is Hayley many many years in your future as part of McTavish's dismal second stint.

He wasn't one of the actors who was nude, was he?  (I can't remember the character names--I saw the revival.)

Yeah one of the stupidest things I have ever done was ask Hal if he had read this.  I think he was a good soap writer and when I interviewed him he was so sharp in his insights about what made a good soap.  He also was friends with FMB which I'm sure didn't help his relationship with McT

You asked Hal if he read Megan's seedy memoir?

Yes he was nude. Very attractive man.

That deserves a triple slap Erica Kane-style.

It'd be well deserved.

I won't deny that.  My only issue with him being chosen for the show as part of America's Sexiest Man (well aside from that I found the whole reality angle gross) was that when he actually spoke on camera he... became less sexy.  So not idea for someone who actually was meant to act on the show (maybe he was better on stage--some actors are.) 

I mean I guess at least they didn't choose this guy 

 

At least you guys didn't get Frank Valentini forcing the worst (but supposedly 'hottest') contestant from I Wanna Be A Soap Star onto your show, like we did at OLTL a few years later. Mikey Jerome was unspeakably awful and Frank and Higley tried to fob him off on poor Melissa Archer.

Fortunately, Higley was out soon after and Ron Carlivati came in gangbusters at that time, along with creating John Brotherton's Jared. Still Natalie's best pairing, and I blame Brian Frons for what happened there.
