July 21, 201114 yr Member Yeah but I think him leaving did the character good since he left due to poor writing. I wish TSJ cared enough to leave when the writing for Todd was all sorts of wrong. Im sorry but thats ridiculous. ALL characters get bad writing at some point. Should Erika Slezack have left the show years ago when her character got it bad? Does that mean she doesnt care enough about Viki bc she stuck it out, didnt throw a hissy fit and quit? Ditto on Kassie DePaiva, HBS, Bob Woods, etc..... Im so against this notion that people have on TSJ bc he didnt leave bc the writing was bad. That just seems like a lame thing to hold against him bc if more actors did that on soaps, we probably wouldnt be watching them It's a pretty hard thing to make your career, and to say they should just quit, makes zero logical sense to me, particularly if you have a family (again I have no idea if TSJ does or not) and other financial responsibilities. Sure it should be something you love doing, but like any job that you love, there are gonna be times you don't love it and you stick through. way. He does. He has a wife and son and it would have been foolish and selfish of him to just quit his job over something trivial like that especiall when he has two people to support Edited July 21, 201114 yr by Cheap21
July 21, 201114 yr Member Exactly, and I strongly belong to the camp of people who feel that that's not even an actor's responsibility - If someone says TSJ should have left because he as obviously bored and wrong to do "air quotes" for rape well really the writing and directing and producing team shouldn't have let him do that. They did, so I don't think they minded it (I actually suspect they thought it was perfect, if it wasn't even in the script). It's an insanely hard career, and when you get a stable role, to suggest they owe it to their audience to walk out, is beyond bizarre. I mean by the same token, we could say that Jack's actor should have left straight away because it was obvious he wasn't up for playing a lead on a soap, etc, etc. Or Marty should have l3eft straight away when they suddenly made her a murderous psycho...

July 21, 201114 yr Member My cable guide says Natalie and Jessica fight! Hope Jessica punches Natalie again! I knew that picture of Echo would be in the Sun. Edited July 21, 201114 yr by OLTL_fan
July 21, 201114 yr Member If the punch is as badly done as the last one they may as well just have Jessica do the Three Stooges nose grab.
July 21, 201114 yr Member Even after all these years, so weird and awkward to see the three of them in that bedroom together.
July 21, 201114 yr Member Let me guess, Jessica is going to complain about Brody's suggestion after just telling Nat to move out.
