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

[jfung79]

Reassuring! Thanks!

I wouldn't have much of an issue with this person being cast or trained if the previous younger cast hadn't been wiped clean in a conscious choice. I'm not against training people. I'm against wiping a cast under 30 out to train people. Effectively, it appears Stephanie Gatschet, and Trent Garrett if he also wasn't approached, were fired (that's the word for it) and they were deemed not good enough for the new show, and the show brought in a bunch of other young people for their vision of what the younger cast should be.

But like I said, I will give him a chance, and yes, please if anyone can find clips of his other work, that'd be great!

I liked him, just didn't care about the Greenleo stuff. But I'm glad he came back for the scenes at the end and he and Budig worked well together in their last episode.

BTW, I don't do torture (response to a page or two back). I'm not into kinky things. Um...not the place to talk about this stuff. Then again, the size of one's... is better suited in a something blog (indescribable) that shall not be named.

This is the most concern I have ever seen for Trent Garrett.

[JackPeyton]

Awe, I loved Garrett and was happy to see him on last season of Make it or Break it.

Asher/JR were amazing.

Cue Vee's snark response about my taste...

Actually, Viki was still in therapy in early 1996. Malone had further plans for Viki's DID therapy but those plans were summarily dropped. Seeing as Erika Slezak herself complained about the lack of follow through that year, I'm hardly alone in my complaints.

As for Todd, read my post again I specifically lauded his 93-94 story. Those two years held a gritty realism that attracted mainstream praise and anticipation of the realistic rehab story originally promised in fall of 94. A victim all cozy with her gang rapist and the gang rapist overnight rewarded with riches received a great deal of criticism, including from RH who walked out over the bad writing. It's always been a controversial writing period for Todd even Malone acknowledged that.

Back to my original point if PP really seeks cutting edge, modernized OLTL, Gottlieb was a better choice, IMO. I'll just be happy if Horgan abandons RC's silly camping of OLTL's last years and takes topics seriously again.

[DRW50]

Is Gottlieb still in the business?

Errol is just waiting to get the confirmation, but word is this is "All My Children's" new AJ:

Acting reel. You'll just have to follow the link to YT on this:

I think it's because we want to see that booty again.... but Colby's eyes are on somethin' else.

[JackPeyton]

YES

[TeamEric]

I gave up on AMC years ago, however, I'm going to check out Eden's return. Binks and Angie were two characters that never failed to draw me into their stories.

[Vee]

Of course we'd all have liked Linda Gottlieb. But Susan Bedsow Horgan has a solid track record, a lot of good work under her belt on both OLTL and CBS soaps, and her tenure at OLTL is largely remembered fondly by a lot of people. She's the next best thing AFAIC.

And it's Erika Slezak.

[All My Shadows]

Eric Nelsen is Eddie Haskell.

[DRW50]

Colby seems to have been played by Barbara Jean from Reba's old sitcom.

[TeamEric]

Her last EP credits are for 2004.
