Members Vee Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 I don't think losing Adam killed the show. I think he was one of many things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think Adam was made irrelevant as a character years before David Canary left. The capper was just Pratt's run, which repeatedly cuckolded Adam because Pratt loved Annie. (I guess you could say the same about McTavish and Krystal/Babe - it just bothered me more with Pratt as it was so ugly what they did to Stuart). I would go with the Cortlandts as a family unit mostly because there's so much left to explore with them. I don't care about Cliff, but Nina could return, and they could recast Bobby (or hire Christian Campbell again), bring Sam in, Cliff and Nina's other child, Ross, a recast for Julie, Petey, and Opal still being a presence. They could have some new character come in to cause problems for them and it turns out this is Ross and Natalie's child, spirited away via retcon. The Chandlers amount to: Adam - not coming back Colby - worthless JR - horribly written for years, most popular actor in the role is leaving Hayley - not coming back Skye - a character whose history has been rewritten over and over, and a character who has, essentially, devolved into being Robin Christopher's ATM machine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 Well, you can always recast Colby and Hayley. Colby just hasn't found the right actress and writing. And JR - well, life will go on without Jacob Young assuming for a moment the character lives out the week, which I doubt. Adam can do guest bits with Brooke pinch hitting. And Skye can always come back, if RC only would - you can say Rae was high and had no idea who was the father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 You could do these things, and I can see why PP would; I just don't think the characters are worth the effort. They failed 3 times with Colby and she represents very little with most of her family gone. Hayley mostly worked because of Kelly Ripa's personality and the times she got to play good story with Adam, and I guess Hayley/Mateo (ugh). I will say if they bring Olivia Birkelund back as Arlene then I'd want a Hayley recast. I miss seeing her on soaps. She was just dynamite as Arlene. And you could bring in Tim too, since she was his aunt (sort of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 I like the idea of the Courtlandts and I never understood bringing on this boring Caleb character. I don't know why people are adverse to bringing back Nina and why it has to be Cliff who s not a Courtlandt. Petey was actually a win as a character, lots of people seemed to like him too. I tiotally forgot about Ross until I saw him on the Jenny and Greg wedding episode with Ellen at the Chateau. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ~bl~ Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 Jumping back a couple of pages, with OLTL, Max and Gabrielle are the couple I enjoyed the most out of any couple that I ever saw on OLTL. So CarlD2 I agree with you on the heat issue. I haven't seen a couple on any soap in forever that was in that style. I wouldn't be against bringing some Cortlandt characters back into the fold or even a Tyler or two if any exist. <sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 I hope Lindsey may be able to get her husband on AMC for some role. I'm not saying oh well he's going to bring in viewers, because he probably won't, but he's a very handsome, charming guy, and a decent actor too.

Members dragonflies Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 Gee Cam isn't a shocker Lindsay, I like her, but if we just have her sign on and then Vincent does and it's just more David worship, I'll pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted September 19, 2011 Members Share Posted September 19, 2011 I didn't think he was that hot....lol...charming..eh...he was a dud as an actor. So no to him on another soap....lol Tell me about it. He is like gum stuck on the bottom of your shoe that won't go away. He is one of the reasons AMC just died on ABC.
