OLTL: Discussion for the week of September 12th

[alexisfan07]

Interesting KA quotes about RH

"No, I was not very close to him. He was very nice to me -- at times. I think we did some really good scenes together and a lot of people think: Oh, Todd and Starr, he was my dad and we had that father/daughter relationship. But definitely not in real life. He's a quiet guy. He really didn't talk to me at all." (SOW Chatterbox 2003, Kristen Alderson)

(on her co-stars at OLTL) "They are normal people. They are really nice. And Roger Howarth really likes me, which is good." (TV Guide Online, August 2001)

(looking at a picture of Starr and Todd in 1998) "I love that picture. Aw. It's so funny because I only remember bits and pieces of those times when I was taping. ... It was just so cool to me and fun, and Roger Howarth [then-Todd] was really nice to me." (SOD 4/1/08)

[AlexElizabeth]

Yup. It's driving me nuts.

I adore AT. He stinks, but I love him.

[Khan]

Personally, I think AT would be better off modeling, but it's also clear that playing a character such as Jack goes against his nature. Kids don't know how to play characters who are unlike themselves; they don't have that kind of training.

So now you know why KA was so good as pre-teen Starr.

+10

I'm struggling with RH's Todd acting so self-righteous about being a great dad considering he spent that last year hurting those kids.

OMG me too.

[OLTL_fan]

Natalie please change. That dress is hideous. Must she flaunt the girls in everything she wears???

+1

[TeamEric]

+1.

Plus, that was some weird flirting between Natalie and her Unca Todd there. RH/MA share too much chem.

[dragonflies]

He can do subtle emotional expressions? Since when?

[TeamEric]

Cheap21,

Thought you might be interested to read SID's tease:

"If you want to hear Trevor St. John's side of the story about why he's not on #OLTL, pick up next week's issue for a great interview."

[Antoyne]

Lol at John: "Just call him Tea's husband."

TSJTodd's recording . I do enjoy RHTodd and Nat, though as someone mentioned they have inappropriate chemistry.

OneLife cameramen, please stop zooming in on the almost unibrow; it's distracting.

[TeamEric]

The murder mystery, the recording, the funeral... RC sure trying to keep TSJ fans invested somehow. Is it working on you?

[Antoyne]

Until the memorial. I'm a sucker for flashbacks.

[ranger1rg]

-- This show misses TSJ so much it's unbelievable. I'm annoyed with RH, but I think it's more because I see him as a replacement for Trevor rather than Roger himself.

-- AT is one horrific actor, but there's no denying that you have to look at him when he's on the screen. The kid is incredibly good-looking.

-- Does Kim Zimmer shove food in her mouth all day long? That sweater thing makes her look like a frickin sausage.

[Khan]

Or worse, like she's keeping sausages on her in case she gets hungry between scenes.

I wish some network would do a soap version of "Celebrity Fit Club." Lord knows some of these people need it.

[ranger1rg]

Has Kim Zimmer's autobiography been discussed here?

I'm halfway through it, but it's disappointing. She praises some actors and industry people effusively, but when she's negative, she rarely names names. I thought this was supposed to be some balls-to-the-wall-no-hold-barred memoir.

If you have an aversion to exclamation points, you definitely want to avoid Zimmer's book. That's right -- every other sentence!!!!!!!!

[AlexElizabeth]

I've decided that if AT doesn't get into modeling, he should be a silent actor. He is so cute.
