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

[John]

Can we stop with the lighter skin bull-[!@#$%^&*]. That is racist. What does it mean anyway to say someone isnt black enough. Who the hell judges. Its pointless. SMDH

[greens_dupres]

Again, Blair Asian to White. It worked out. And since when do recasts have to be clones?

[John]

Thank You

When a new actress replaces the AMAZING Shenelle or whatever that most people didn't even enjoy...

[greens_dupres]

If you look at any of the comments on the Hulu episodes or Facebook (which I highly recommend as an occasional guilty pleasure), you would think she co-headlined the show with Erika Slezak.

Well Erin Tourpey/Bree Williamson. They looked very very much alike.

[Antoyne]

So now we're going to name the scenarios where the recasts were clones vs. the times they weren't? Stupid.

[Khan]

Yep. Viki and her alters, Karen Wolek on the witness stand, Destiny speaking phonetically out of the side of her mouth. These are the moments that have come to define ONE LIFE TO LIVE.

Shenell is the one they're mourning - who did speak phonetically, yes. I'll never understand the people claiming Laura Harrier is a problem. She may still be a little awkward, but she's already way more natural than Shenell ever was. I just really like her. She comes across as a young woman, not a child angling for a spot on Zoom.

[greens_dupres]

I totally agree- she looked super young and was very wooden when they expanded her role beyond funny sidekick. And when they had Shenell with the baby bump, I just could NOT deal. Thank god she is not lugging around this baby and grinding up on Matthew at Shelter.

[cassadine1991]

imagine if Eddie was still Matthew, yeah we wouldn't be getting these s/ls

[KMan101]

Yeah, my problem with Shenell and even Eddie is that they just came off as too young. I agree that I just couldn't seeing Shenell's Destiny walking around with a baby bump. It always looked so wrong.

[Khan]

Frankly, watching Shenell walk around with her pregnancy belly was like watching your fifth-grader perform as the Virgin Mary in her school's Christmas pageant, with Eddie as an awkward, wooden Joseph.

[greens_dupres]

YESSSSSS, you hit the nail on the head Khan. Who are these people clamoring for them? I don't understand.
