I have not heard one actor dish PP. Michael Knight expressed reservations but was also very complementary of the team there. I don't think Chrishell was dishing anyone.But IA if someone is not interested or has reservations move onto the next person. If the role is key to your vision for the show, start the recast process.

Everybody involved is going to have to decide what's best for them. Debbi Morgan, MEK, Jacob Young and Susan Lucci(?) made their decisions just like Cameron Mathison, Lindsay Hartley, Ted King etc... have made theirs. I don't see PP as the savior some people make them out to be but I'm hopeful they'll turn out to be a better operation than ABC Daytime had been. That said, I completely understand why someone would choose to pass. Of all these actors, MEK is the one whose viewpoint I understand the most. He's just tired. No hate, no bad feelings, just fatigue.

And, by the way, unless somebody knows something I don't, my Susan has NOT said "NO!" to Prospect Park...

Hey Folks! This "Farewell to Jackson Montgomery" event this Saturday seems to be causing a lot of confusion. I'm not sure why they decided to call it that, but while I have NOT been approached by Prospect Park as yet, I am absolutely open to - and excited by - the "prospect" of continuing with AMC on-line! There, I hope that stops all these crazy rumors!

Unfortunately, I agree that without Erica, Jack probably isn't relevant, at least not on AMC as it was. Jack has been little more than Erica's man for years. PP could choose to make him relevant by recasting Lily and Reggie and giving him a new romance, imo. They could just say that Erica ran off to follow her Hollywood dreams and Jack stayed behind.

Relevance is a completely subjective concept. The four airhogs were "relevant" as motherfuckers for years. In fact it was their constant, nonstop, "relevance" being forced down my throat that drove me away from the show more than once. Viewers decide for themselves who matters and everyone matters to someone. That's something ABC and it's focus group machinations refused to accept. I hope PP leaves that toxic mentality in the past.

I think Jack had some potential outside of Erica but it never materialized. There were several different times that Jack was essentially phased out of the show entirely (a lot of 95-97, 2008-2009) and only came back into a larger role for stories with Erica. I'd like to see more of his relationship with Reggie but otherwise not a lot. I wish they hadn't killed Travis and that Kit hadn't been such a disaster.

AMEN. I don't find Ryan or Cara any more relevant than really anyone else other than the core vets. Why? Just because they are youngish and someone at ABC or PP decided they were more relevant than others? I actually could say Ryan is less relevant than Jack at this point as they have burned through too much story for that character due to his nonstop presence on the show for the last so many years.

      Mack was the show's moral compass and his groundedness complimented Karen's hysteria perfectly. Also, Kevin Dobson was the best looking male cast member with a huge fan base. He was never going to be killed off...

      As others (I think) have said, Long just didn't get Nola and Quint. I guess it would've been hard to write them into adventure type stories with two kids, but they just fell off the map after AJ's birth. (or even the wedding/honeymoon) Long would've had to rewrite something, because Alex forced the Chamberlains out of Spaulding in the fall of '84. Not that she couldn't have just ignored it and written Quint and Henry being involved at the firm. I swear there was some plot point she just literally ignored that surprised me, but as I'm floating around between years, I can't recall what it was. lol Has anyone found the first day of the Kyle/Lewis dinner party up in English? After he took over Lewis Oil, Kyle arranged a dinner party. All hell breaks loose--Mindy admits to shooting Kyle, Vanessa remembers Reva's accident, and Billy and Reva get into a screaming match and she tells HB that Billy blackmailed her out of her Lewis shares. The last three minutes (or so) of the episode are up, where Kyle tells the assembled that HB's his father. And the next episode picks up with Sally entering the fray. Y'all know I'm dying to hear Billy and Reva go at it. As dicey as '85 is, I love it anytime when Billy isn't Reva's bitch.

      Santa Barbara Discussion Thread

      By dc11786 · Posted

      The original premise of "Santa Barbara" was that a Lockridge (Warren) killed a Capwell (Channing), who loved an Andrade (Santana), while a Perkins (Joe) went to jail for the crime. I think once the show started to pull away the threads by eliminating Joe and naming a new killer a lot of the show's original potential was lost. I contend, like others, that the fault lied in the uninspiring casting, which leads me to wonder if that's why the show became so keen on casting soap veterans for nearly every pivotal role.  The failure of the Perkins family was definitely a casting issue followed by a lack of interest in committing to the original onscreen characterization. I was fascinated watching the early episodes and realizing that the Perkins had been financially wiped out by the trial, which was an underlying current towards John's animosity towards his son. Then, the additional complication of Marissa's nearly incestual affection for Joe that led to her cutting off John sexually was a wild moment to witness, but not as strong as it could have been with a stronger actor in the role of John Perkins. Melissa Brennan wasn't the right choice for the aspiring young vixen that Jade was intended to be. Brennan may have breathed life into Laken, but I'm not sure how Julia Ronnie would have done in the role of Jade.  Despite the recorded history, Christina Robertson and Sarah Gallagher weren't sisters; they were aunt and niece.  I don't think it would have hurt to make Marissa and Augusta sisters, but I think it would have made the Joe / Augusta seduction impossible unless you truly mimick "Rituals" and make Joe Sarah's stepson. I think a childhood friendship between the two women would have worked. It would have also given Augusta someone to confide in about the situation involving Peter Flint and herself as Marissa would have been aware of Peter from her work at the pre school. As childhood friends that were estranged by class differences, I think a relationship between Augusta and Joe (and later Augusta and a sexually frustrated John) would have had multiple layers to play out giving a deeper impact on Augusta's involvement in both of the men in Marissa's life. And because I have thought about this all too much, I would have Augusta and Marissa square off again when Jade, after marrying Ted while pregnant, learned that the little Capwell heir was in fact an imprisoned Warren's son only for Augusta to ultimately keep mum because with Ted married to Jade he wasn't free to pursue Laken.  I imagine the Andrades would have slowly been withdrawn from the Capwell inner circle as the truth about Santana, Channing, Jr., and the baby came to light for everyone. In what I seen in the 1980s, Rosa confronts C.C. once about the baby and then seems to move on. Early in the run, the actor playing Reuben claims he and Bridget Dobson had a falling out and implied that she was racist which led to the character fading into the woodwork.  I know I am like maybe one of two people who liked the 1990s run of the Dobsons, but I loved the set up for Santana / C.C. with the Andrades having owned the land that Oasis sat on years earlier posing Santana to come into money while also potentially landing a position where she could raise Gina's son with C.C. if C.C. and Santana could have secured custody of the child. With Eden gone, I would have gone back to Santana and Cruz, but if not, I think Brick should have returned to be Santana's conscience and potential love interest.

      Well, I'm not going to shoot you, so no worries there. If it's subpar i hate hearing that. It was an old DVD not even mine a former partner. I thought why not make use of it. Serves me right for thinking. But to be clear, white label, www.radiomemory.com

      Just compared the open on Friday's episode with the first week episodes. I think the difference is that the bass line is much more apparent -- stronger and harder.

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.

      And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.
