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

if they do pair her with Jack, I'm totally shipping them.. (Jac)k/Dus(ky) Jacky or Dusk

[hsfolk]

IMO, there's a reason that "Dusky" hasn't been a characters' name on soaps/tv before

[cassadine1991]

it could be a nickname

[hsfolk]

That's what I thought when I saw this news

[CBRVA83]

We don't know how long Jessie M. will be on the show. KDP said in her interview with the Examiner that she was a musical guest, so maybe she's a short-term recurring musical guest!

[John]

Jessie just told me on twitter she is recurring

[hsfolk]

How old is she? I'm still holding out hope that Jack turns out gay or bi

[CBRVA83]

Recurring roles can be short-term too!

[John]

In real life she is 24

[cassadine1991]

and AT is 18... that still kind of looks skeevy, I remember Teresa Patel was in her mid-20s and AT was like 16/17

you aren't the only one who hopes Jack is gay or bi. I hope so, it will explain a lot of things. i hear some kind of want Jack with Jeffrey..

[hsfolk]

How much influence does Agnes have over AMC & OLTL right now? I'm amazed she's still going at it at 85

[John]

A lot according to the actors on both soaps

[Khan]

For what? Duskella?

Some also want ribs with mayonnaise. Doesn't mean it makes sense.

[EricMontreal22]

I like it better than Flash...

[EricMontreal22]

No one knows. So that means we can say (yes about both shows, even her poor beaten red-headed step child ) that anything really good is her work, and anything bad could never be hers.

I do think she honestly has had involvement with the start of both shows, and wouldn't be surprised if that included initial story setup, etc. I've been told by people in contact with her that she's more sharp than she has been in a while, and very hung ho about getting these off the ground. But I suspect it still means she has more imput on AMC (which makes sense given the show includes more characters she's been involved with and it has an arguably weaker head writer)--at least judging by the trailer. Still, I think to suggest she's there in name only is completely wrong. But it also doesn't mean she's actually pencilling out detailed stories. (I know it's corny, but I'd love if she made some type of cameo on both shows in the premier. A BRIEF cameo mind you--no taking over as head of Heaven or wandering around as some ghost of a Pine Valley pioneer...)

As for the name itself--Dusky, it's not great, but I asumed, like umm Flash, it was just her performance name.
