June 18, 201213 yr Member AMEN, and start with having someone after Tracy for a change - for all the right reasons, and not just because he's poor and she's rich. If the show wasnt so heavy on OLTL actors, Id take Jerry verDorn in a new role playing a business mogul. ELQ is in financial trouble and he buys a chunk of it out and locks horns with Tracy The thing is, you can give that same material to the girl who played Lisa or whoever and it might be ok at best. Robin Mattson however, being someone who can do no wrong, takes the stuff and just makes love to the crazy dialogue with her Lauren Bacall type voice, the best voice in daytime. IA. The material is nothing to write home about but RM sells it like no other. She's one of the few who makes the term "turning [!@#$%^&*] into gold" so true Edited June 18, 201213 yr by Cheap21
June 18, 201213 yr Author Member Speaking of characters from the older age group... I have always wanted them to bring on a new husband for Monica, only for him to have an affair....with LESLEY. Wouldn't that be delicious?
June 18, 201213 yr Member I was never a RM fan, but I'm liking her as Heather, I never liked her as Janet

Oh I totally agree with you. I think she's wonderful, she and Jane Elliot are the only ones we have left on daytime who can bring this. But there's nothing you can do with crap like that walkabout/expository dialogue gone wild stuff she had last week.
June 18, 201213 yr Member I think she's too old to be having that type of story. I just cant see Lesly getting down with sleeping around with a married man. I always view her more respectable and responsible than that and I think it would ruin her. (not that there's much there) That sounds right up RC's alley though, "honoring" history by repeating it with a twist.

June 18, 201213 yr Member He'd be perfect as Monica's new husband and Lesley's new fling. Back off, bitch. He's for Tracy!

It would be interesting - especially if he was a former member of the OLTL cast, but not an OLTL character. Plenty of retakes in the beginning, I'd imagine.</p> <p> </p> <p>Someone in that vein would be perfect. I truly love LuNacy because I love the interplay between Luke and Tracy for the most part (until he becomes more of a louse and she a nag), but I've always wanted someone completely out of Luke's league to capture Tracy interest for herself alone, and not ELQ, her money or her connections.</p> <div id="myEventWatcherDiv" style="display:none;"> </div> Edited June 18, 201213 yr by remos
June 18, 201213 yr Member Just let him be Clint so we can be blessed with the inevitable Tracy/Viki showdown, Special Guest Star Erika Slezak. Oh wow, the Carrie/Ross thing went RIGHT over my head...
June 18, 201213 yr Member Yeah I'm not sure how many remember their GL run, although I wish someone would watch at GH, as it would show them how DID should be played.
June 18, 201213 yr Member Just let him be Clint so we can be blessed with the inevitable Tracy/Viki showdown, Special Guest Star Erika Slezak. Oh wow, the Carrie/Ross thing went RIGHT over my head... I don't like those showdowns, because Tracy is ultimately always portrayed as the looser. I'd like her to be the winner, fair and clean. After this many years, she deserves it. The only thing giving her the lead in the current competition for Luke, is the length of their relationship and how well they know each other.
June 18, 201213 yr Member I have always wanted them to bring on a new husband for Monica, only for him to have an affair....with LESLEY. For some reason I have always wanted Lesley to bond with Edward and clash with Tracy and Monica over their relationship. But it would never happen, much less a single storyline for them.
June 18, 201213 yr Member I didnt even know they were on GL together or were a couple there Just let him be Clint so we can be blessed with the inevitable Tracy/Viki showdown, Special Guest Star Erika Slezak. Oh wow, the Carrie/Ross thing went RIGHT over my head... I say no to Clint bc I like his ending with Viki and imagine them married. I dont want their resolution to be messed wtih with him getting involved with Dorian, um I mean Tracy. Been there, done that with those two Haha, I think I quite like someone owning Todd Edited June 18, 201213 yr by Cheap21
June 18, 201213 yr Member I'd be delighted if we learned Clint/Viki weren't together, mostly because I don't believe Viki would be with a man who terrorized children. But I just can't take any more "Cartini" writing for the character. Long ago I posted a 1982 article with Jerry and Jane at his fan event. They seemed great together from the little I've watched of that era, but then she was fired. These clips have their wedding. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6jXjVX65W4
