He looks bleary-eyed. She looks like her no!no! attacked her.

[Mr. Vixen]

They look horrible.

[John]

I know OLTL was doing 3 takes per scene and doing 13-16 hour days the first round of taping. Maybe that is why.

[Khan]

Three takes per scene, eh? Wouldn't be necessary if they were to set aside rehearsal/blocking time with the actors.

[dragonflies]

not to mention Roger's doing GH and OLTL at the same time............

[John]

They do two episodes a day

They reherase for like 2 hours than film then lunch

Then repeat for episode 2 of the day

Roger is only gilming OL when OL films and even though he is doing both. He may not film every week OL films. That make sense?

[Vee]

They do have rehearsal time, actually; the actors have all made note of the increased time for it at PP.

[Khan]

They do? Thank God!

And thank you, John.

[Vee]

They've talked about it a lot, and how good it is for them (and for the young actors).

[John]

From CP Talent

[Khan]

"Good" is an understatement. Rehearsal time is invaluable. The more of it, the better. This is especially true for the young actors, whom the networks have left too much to their own devices.

Honestly, the actors appear to be so in love with the craft services table ("Food! Glorious food!"), I must have tuned out most of what else they have said about the working conditions in Stamford.

[Khan]

"Via"? What's "Via"? Do I have to pay to watch episodes there, too?

[John]

Ha Ha Unfortunatley some make think Via is a new channel. Facepalms
