Members John Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 In the fall of 1991 was the plan to go Leann/Kevin & Stephanie/Jason? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 (edited) I could've sworn Mark Brettschneider (Jason) was the last addition to the Tour of Llanview opening. I've yet to see him though, I'm a few behind in '91. Always was baffled that he made it in but not Luna, but again maybe I imagined it. I think OLTL dumps Robyn Griggs in the fall and then brings her back after Carlo's death in the spring to wrap the murder mystery, but don't quote me, I'm not sure. It is hilarious seeing half the opening populated by already-fired people. It's also hilarious that it took me til this month to realize the reedy, weaselly guy up front in the opening is in fact the chameleonic Nicholas Walker as Max and not Jake's annoying friend Lucky or whoever. I'd spent years wondering 'why isn't NuMax in the opening?' Edited December 11, 2024 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 (edited) Thanks @Vee I remember Robyn Griggs said at one point to SOD that ABC fired her but then had to legally bring her back ( Cannot remember why) but I saw Megan's funeral in 1992 and stephanie is there. Kevin is with LeAnn then. Brenda was at the party and she hasnt been on in months. So that was Luna Moody's entrance?

Members Franko Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 Yup, that was Luna's grand arrival. Personally, I'd have done without the big buildup (Tina fretting about Friday the 13th, not to mention her fortune cookie), but I guess the show really wanted to make it apparent that a BIG DEAL has arrived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 IIRC Malone talked about how much Luna meant to him personally and was tied to his background or women he knew. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 Joey Thrower was Kevin when LeeAnn got Pregnant and when they married but when Duke was born, Kevin was played by Kirk Geiger. I liked Kirk but am really liking JT as Kevin. Wonder why the recast? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 A-ha. I'll keep that in mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 (edited) You can tell they were setting story up even before the parachuting-in of Luna and Malone's name being officially on the show - I don't know if he was involved in the material (I suspect so) but Megan is notably under the weather at Hunter and Andy's wedding in late August, Alex is kept on after her planned exit and the spectre of Sarah is raised all around the same time. In addition to Jason being added in early August, which I think is all Gottlieb. Edited December 11, 2024 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 11, 2024 Members Share Posted December 11, 2024 He is. An unflattering photo for a lovely man. I love that theme, but any time I listen too many times I'm reminded of how terrible the lyrics are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 12, 2024 Members Share Posted December 12, 2024 (edited) For years I couldn't retain any of it after the first few words. The gag I had going for a long time was it would just run on like 'here's what you do when you go with to find what you know when you do what you give when you rainbow's end....don't cry!' I'm glad someone confirmed the shot existed. It truly is bad, but of course all those old '80s photos with the sepia treatment look like everyone has jaundice and will soon die. Crazy they made time to add him but no one else (I think). Edited December 12, 2024 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 12, 2024 Members Share Posted December 12, 2024 (edited) Some work (the shot of Laura Bonnarigo is lovely, and Joey Thrower is striking, although he looks nothing like his other self), but I would agree. I think the reason you confused Lucky and Max is because Lucky's shot actually is similar to the second NW shot of Max. Until now I did not even realize they changed his shot. I wonder why they bothered. Oh wait - they changed his shot TWICE. I have no idea if someone was just bored or if his agent was down the line complaining...maybe it can be taken as some statement on those dying days of Rauch. I'll include the similar shot of Lucky (which is actually nicer than Walker's last shot).

Members Vee Posted December 12, 2024 Members Share Posted December 12, 2024 Oh God. I had no idea there were so many. I do vaguely recall the first but I am most used to seeing the opening with the third shot which makes him look like rubberfaced Lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted December 12, 2024 Members Share Posted December 12, 2024 NW's three photos look like he's trying different approaches at a dating app. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 12, 2024 Members Share Posted December 12, 2024 That second one would have gotten him some results if he'd been willing to take some of the back alley tours of Llanview. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
