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

[John]

Yes JJ

[Antoyne]

Aren't Andrew and Carmen only two years apart?

[cassadine1991]

They can have Jack go Europe to be with Adriana or Kelly or in Georgia with.Cassie, especially.when the.teacher thing explodes IF that happens

[John]

The way the season ended If OLTL picks up from that point, Jack will be needed imo

[Dee41]

Jack could be rested until he's SORASED. The character is completely isolated, with no friends or real peers. With so little airtime available there isn't enough room to development a teen set around him. Jack could be sent to boarding school. The teacher plot isn't that important to the main plot as of yet.

[John]

Yeah im surprised we havent seen Jack with any High school friends. If he stays that should be fixed.

[greens_dupres]

Have to disagree with that. They were smart to limit AT to family stuff with the vets for most of the season- AT improved working with them and he wasn't strong enough to center a teen set around. Further, unless we get an ep increase which seems unlikely, there's not a ton of room to have Dani/Matthew/Destiny/Jeffrey as a 21ish set and a slightly younger teen set with Jack and friends.

I would rest the character as some suggested, then recast and slightly age for a future season. If it means a less than satisfying end to the teacher plot, I'm okay with that.

[John]

I mean Jack the character should featured more. Now if PP is limiting him because he is green then replace him. I also feel we need more balance and not 39 episodes of Matthew and Jeffrey if we only get 40 shows a season. More balance is key. Id also love to see Roxy, Fish & Kyle even if recurring. Maybe Fish is a detective now & Kyle could be the main doc at the hospital

I miss Roxy/Natalie scenes

[cassadine1991]

Problem is those other people cost,money and unless they fit into the storyline

[John]

Well if they kept them recurring any only paid them per episode they could save money that way. I know Ilene & Brett are open to returnong

Jen Pepperman also said she loved the Kish Story and loves Ilene as Roxy

[greens_dupres]

Jen Pepperman, like Ginger Smith, seems to always answer diplomatically whenever she's asked if X or Y might be brought back. I do like that both of them seem committed to not bringing back characters just for the sake of bringing them back and to keeping the cast size where we can see most of the cast frequently with story.

Personally I have no desire to ever see Roxy again but a lot of fans seem to feel differently so maybe having her pop up recurring would be a good move. Of course then people would just probably complain that she wasn't front burner every ep.

[John]

Like I said elsewhere I love comedic roles so Im a roxy fan and have been an Ilene fan since RH

[cassadine1991]

If Max Enrich weren't on Y&R, I'd like him as Jack

[John]

Well he aint on contract. I do agree that would be good casting

[Winchester91]

Sterling Knight as a grown-up Jack...or Max Thieriot, if he were desperate for a job.
