WTF!!!!!

EXCLUSIVE: Here is a great holiday gift for soap fans: I’ve learned that Prospect Park has revived its plan to continue cancelled ABC daytime dramas All My Children and One Life To Live online. I hear the company behind USA hit Royal Pains has inked deals with SAG-AFTRA and DGA for the soaps’ production, eyed to begin in the first quarter of 2013.

I have to admit that I'm one of those people who probably talks about Agnes like she's a combination of Wonder Woman, Scheherazade and Maya Angelou but...I treasure the art of storytelling and I think that Agnes is one of the best storytellers in the genre. I try (and perhaps, fail) not to be a blind follower of hers but there are simply writers whose work I trust even when I don't agree or like it. I like to think that I'm willing to call out even my absolute faves when they misstep but that doesn't keep them from being my faves.

Frankly, as long as I have to watch Jamey, Nelson and Fairman felch RC and FV then the people who are tired of the Agnes love just need to suck it up. No pun intended.

Well, I did, anyway. He was more valuable to me when he wasn't being played by a brain-dead male model who couldn't act to save his neck.

I hated the second Christian, too. The original actor was much better, but as someone else said, he was a character like Aidan on AMC who was more expendable than the writers/producers realized.

Dan Gauthier is the best and only Kevin. Thanks for playing, Khan.

Yup, he was the only Kevin to me.

This might be unpopular, but I really enjoyed Tracy Melchoir as Kelly as well. I wonder if she wanted to choke out Heather Tom when she returned to B&B recently. I don't think there was anything wrong with Melchoir, but she was thrown under the bus when they got a more famous actor. I wouldn't mind her as Kelly either.

I wouldn't mind seeing her tackle the role again. I don't know why but I'd be up for it.

I agree about Dan Gauthier as Kevin. I'd LOVE Erin Torpey to come back. And I never minded Cristian but he was pretty useless for quite a while. I'd be fine if he came back as long as he's written for.

As far as Joey goes, I didn't mind the last one, the writing just wasn't there. It didn't help that everyone laughed day in and day out at Joey's stupidity. Which he shouldn't have been. I'd like to see him work at the Banner. The character needs a direction, which he's lacked forever.

I felt they wasted Gina Tognoni and Kelly was just all over the place.

Dan Gautier was the best Kevin, but I did like Kevin Stapleton in the role

*looks upthread*

Well it looks like I missed another scintillating episode of SON After Dark.

I loved Dan Gauthier but I think that Kevin Stapleton was a wonderful Kevin too. In fact he pretty much owned the role for me until Gauthier came along.

I actually liked the porn story. It was a first for daytime and hot. I always believed that the porn industry could do a soap and still include the nudity, but tastefully. Now I'm not talking daytime daily serial. Just a soap opera.

I have to admit that a daily porn show sound more compelling to me!

(OH GOD! I am sounding like the ladies at grandma's retirement home!)

I agree with some of your take, at least the Irna stuff. Did she really say that about a husband though? (Two or so years ago they said they discovered a manuscript she wrote for her memoirs--I wish they'd publish it). However, while the P^G honchos tended to be male, Irna did work with a LOT of women (Lucy Ferri Rittenberg was EP at Guiding Light from the start of the TV run through Nixon's 8 years as HW, and then 7 years after that, for example, Mary Harris was EP at ATWT for the majority of the 60s).

About Agnes though, I think her father saying she shouldn't and couldn't be a writer led to her ultimately being more ambitious--that's what I get from what she says about it in All Her Children.

I just read an interview with Irna and she did say that. Also, Agnes said that in her Archive Interview.

Kirk Geiger disapproves.

To me he was the only Kevin who truly combined all aspects of the character.

Agreed. Kevin has never been the same after Geiger, but Gautier is a very close second.

Never saw that incarnation but LOL Reese from PASSIONS

I did. Dear God, Joey and Jen: aka The Porn Birds (TM TWOP).

Id love Joey & Kevin 2 come back

I wouldnt mind Kirk Geiger, Kevin Stapleton or Dan Gauither as Kevin

As for Joey Id love Chris Mckenna back but I liked Tom Degnan but he is 10 years too young. He shoulda been CJ Roberts or River Carpenter

Miss Fath was not even asked. That makes me happy.

Ellen ‏@ellensfamily
So @farahfromky said no to PP, she should be darn grateful she has any offer with her bad attitude.


@ellensfamily they didn't offer me anything. You dont know the full story now do you? #BYE

Why would PP want to offer her a role. FF has a horrible attitude. I wouldnt want that around my set

For me, there just hasn't been THE definitive Kevin (or Joey) Buchanan.

Really. I think Nathan is for Joey but for me i always wonder how Chris McKenna woulda matured in the role

For me my fave Kevs were Kirk Geiger, Kevin Stapleton & Dan G so im happy if any of those return

It's long past time to stop paying attention to her. Let her move on to whatever her next step is going to be.

Chris McKenna really ought to come back. He's still handsome, talented and working. And willing to do nudity.
