HOLIDAY MIRACLE: Prospect Park Back On Track To Revive AMC and OLTL

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Thank you! What I said was not racist. What PP are doing is.

The industry has been like this for ages. And, just because I happen to be white myself. Doesn't mean I'm racist nor do I agree with the practice of switching from a dark skinned black actress to a light skinned one. It's just wrong.

[Mr. Vixen]

I can't at Susan Haskell being a model. She's a great actress but not a great beauty.

[EricMontreal22]

LOL Sigh, I obviously wasn't even thinking. But hey, now you don't have to watch either! (I'm just teasing btw, I think my joke came off more snarky than even I intended)

[Mr. Vixen]

That skinny white bitch is not Destiny. Next.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

That's fine. I knew you were joking. I said I didn't wanna watch AMC because I'm too afraid it'll be canned. OLTL seems to be getting better writers and more of it's vet cast back. I don't want AMC to bomb. But, until I know that it's not. I don't wanna get invested.

[EricMontreal22]

Actually, with a good casting director (no clue about this one) I'd say it's a fairly decent 50/50 ratio. Obviously the bad ones really stand out, so we remember them, but even going back (when, granted they did have a better ratio of hiring talent over perfect looks), the issue still existed.

Off the top of my head both Genie Francis and Michael E Knight were pro teen models pre their soap work. (Knight--not sure about Francis--had done theatre school, etc too but that wasn't where he was hired from). Maybe this miss hair model has done theatre training too--a lot of them had (I think Josh Duhamel had actually). It's not too uncommon

LOL, well, I can't really see it either, but she apparently was one (a successful one no less).

[Mr. Vixen]

What was she modeling? Homes?

[Vee]

Oh, stop right [!@#$%^&*] there.

This really grinds my gears and it has for a long time. Ever since either Branco or Jamey Giddens said "hair model" in some podcast one time, everybody goes around saying it in relation to any actor under 30 like a dumb little clique of zombies. "Hair model! OMG we're so witty let's just keep saying it about every hire! Hair model LOL!" It is tired and it often has no basis in fact. It's a vapid buzzword. Why don't we wait and see if this person can act before leaning on that crap. Thank you.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Well. Knight's a great actor period. I think he's just a natural. Did you know that he was originally going to be hired to play Jack Tripper's brother on Three's Company. But, AMC got back to him first. That's how he ended up as Tad.

[EricMontreal22]

I can see it, depending on what kind of model she was and the market.

[Mr. Vixen]

She's going to have to be Meryl Streep for me to accept her in the role, considering she is 100% physically wrong for it.

Lesbian hair styling?

[EricMontreal22]

Agreed. Besides which her portfolio clearly shows she wasn't a hair model.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Hahahaha! She's just like Sarah Jessica Parker. Neigh!

Welcome to the early 90s!
