Easton was hoping a schedule could be worked out that would allow him to appear on The OnLine Network's ONE LIFE TO LIVE as John McBain.

"There's a fairly lengthy paper trial documenting my discussions about how we could make it work," he explains. "I have a family now and I've never spent a night away from them, so trying to figure out how to make it work with us living in L.A. and OLTL shooting in Connecticut wasn't easy but we did seem to be working toward something. Prospect Park and ABC seemed like they wanted to work together but we just couldn't come to an arrangement. And then, suddenly, things built into a tempest between the parties and there was a lot of confusion and uncertainty, so I tried to stay away from it and focus on my writing and my family. In the end, I don't know that the situation worked out all that well for anybody. The whole thing was awkward and I don't think anybody handled it very well, but it is what it is."

Speaking of the JvD soap charity event in NYC, has anyone been/planning to go this year? I'm super close by and thought it might be fun and would include some of the PP OLTL cast for a good cause but I've never been to a fan event & I'm not sure I can convince any friends to join and would love any feedback.

I'm actually going to be in NYC that weekend but I can't go. I'm taking my nieces to NY Comic Con for kids day.

Honestly, I've been to a few soap events - not Stars and Strikes although I know people who have - and I can almost promise your friends that they will have a good time even if they aren't soap fans. SAS is a good one because so many actors from different shows participate (JvD's apparently got mad pull and actors like to show up for him) so from what I've heard, it doesn't get clique-ish.

DW50, aka Carl well at first JVD played cowboy…but I think they told him to stop doing the accent. I don't see Clint as much of a cowboy, and I don't really see Jerry in Clint either. I don't know if that makes sense.

Jerry went through cancer twice in the 90s, it came back less than 2 years after his diagnosis. He was off from GL for about a month in 1993, and then it came back again, so he went through radiation while still working in 95. He had a good report on the same day he got his first Emmy and has been okay ever since. I thought everyone knew about Jerry's cancer by now because of the bowling event.

I've gone to the bowling event in the past. PM greens_dupres we can talk… Yes actors just show up and they supposedly don't get anything for coming. A lot of times actors don't say they will attend ahead of time and just appear, which is kind of fun. It isn't clique-ish in the way other events can be, but that I think is a carryover from his GL days..and how people from various soaps show up for the cause.

I was hoping for Pepperman too. I see the questions going something like this:

Will Todd & Blair get married?

Do you know if they'll bring back Rex & Gigi?

Where is Starr?

Where is Jessica?

Will Clint & Viki get married?

Whatever question cassadine has planned for AT tongue.png

I miss John and Natalie- when is he coming back?

No, I was pretty sick last week. What was the point past which I was supposed to be clear of all the psychos again? I thought there was a timestamp. I'll go back and look in the thread.

Assuming he does have some sort of absence coming up, I think it would be nice if they covered some of RH's down time on the show with a visit from Starr, since KA is up for it. John would be nice as well to wrap that story up, but I don't see that happening any time too soon.
