One Life to Live OLTL: The Prospect Park Era (old production thread)

[Bright Eyes]

I don't want him on the show, but I do wonder what they'll say about Tomas. A quick reference to him reuniting with his baby mama should suffice.

[alexisfan07]

Lol and Baz. No, they'll probably just say he's still off on some mission or whatever they said on GH. He ran out on Blair's wedding so I would assume they're basically broken up.

Im still wondering why the prod date for OLTL was moved to March 18th. Maybe Hulu wants AMC to film more episodes ro have ready for late April launch

[alexisfan07]

Are we sure they did? Howarth was said to be starting in the second week of production on March 18th on SOD's website

[Bright Eyes]

Ah, thanks for the update. I physically can't watch GH, so I never would have been aware of that otherwise.

KDP and GA played a couple on GL over 25 years ago, which fizzled so I'd be surprised if OLTL would think this could potentially work. Grant is way too old for Kevin and it would be confusingly bizarre. If there was a crossover possibility with AMC, I could see Alec on OLTL with the other member of family Jane (whether his wife/ex-wife or sister on AMC).

[KMan101]

Yes, that's right! Wasn't she around when Alan-Michael (Carl Evans) first parachuted into Springfield and Alan was away (though there was a phone call). I remember watching that episode on YouTube or on the DVD release.

Anyway ... that'd be interesting to see again. IDK that they clicked for me watching that episode but I don't think they look bad together so that could be a pull. If Grant's with OLTL on-screen, that is.

That would be a great tie in.

With AMC jumping ahead 5 years, I don't see the shows doing any crossoversI wasn't going by actual age bc DG isn't much younger (4 year gap). The difference is DG has always looked much better than those his own age as he's aged extremely well. I think GA more or less looks his age which I think is too old for what Kevin should be, which is early 40s.

Yes Chelsea and Phillip were dating during the BBQ of 1987 which is on the DVD release, and KDP and GA were the cover photo of SOD for that anniversary. I'd prefer GA and KDP romantically on screen over GA playing Kevin (and not just the age issue, but the fact that Grant favors JvD much more than ES in acting and looks, and Kevin is Viki's biological child and not Clint's son.)

[Cheap21]

I don't think GA looks like either of them, not that it really should matter as one could argue the previous Kevins with their dark hair favored CR's Clint more than Viki

Grant Aleksander? Now that's intriguing. The idea of seeing Phillip and Ross together on-screen again gives me the warm fuzzies.

I wouldn't read too much into it. This production schedule has been insanely tight. We've gone from the Deadline announcement that the shows were coming back to actual taping in two months. OLTL probably got pushed back for purely logistical reasons. Maybe now that AMC is actually taping they realized that 3/11 wasn't feasible.

[John]

That could be very true

[marceline]

Looking at the pics, I have to say that I hate, hate, hate the way they dressed Kelly Missal. She's a lovely young woman but that top (I don't dare call it a dress) makes her look like a Thai prostitute.

[jfung79]

Wow, Grant Aleksander. Is this a definite? OLTL casting just gets better and better. There's an advantage to the AMC/OLTL casting director being a GL alum, and Jennifer Pepperman being Procter and Gamble trained.

[~bl~]

It is definite Grant is involved (as Jerry wouldn't lie about his friend Grant), but Jerry didn't say what Grant was doing with OLTL just that he would be involved. Grant could possibly working in a behind the scenes capability, though we shall see.
