Members DRW50 Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 I don't think it was so much about making OLTL fans happy, because I don't know if all that much "Cartini" have done with the characters has tickled OLTL fans pink - it's mostly a sea of dead babies, Roger Howarth Paul Lynde-ing it 2002 style, and McBain dumping his child for a mediocre PC retread. I think it was about Ron and Frank saying hey this is mine, this is mine, let me show you that this is mine, no one else's. It never seemed to be about what would work, either for GH or for OLTL's memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 haha no worries and I apologize if you've felt that way. I'll try and be more conscientious before I post with you bc I wasn't aware I was doing anything out of the ordinary. I've never been accused of being Twitterish. That's like the ultimate insult with me.....lol j/k I love this thread. Someone mentioned to me that its shaping up to look like a Real Housewives reunion and its so true. Random drama with different people coming from different angles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 In regards to the original topic, yes, I'm enjoying the fact that Todd Manning is no longer involved in the fuckery that Ron is trying to peddle in vain. While I'm most interested in seeing ME & KM reunite on screen (for real this time, Ron), I've taken a wait-and-see stance on KA since I've never seen her play another character. In regards to what this thread has spun off to, absolutely. KdP knows the value of her character and T&B and cares enough about both that she's willing to (rightfully) call Cartini out on their bullshit. As a fan of hers, her character's, and that pairing, I definitely love the fact that she is calling it as it really is and not what half-assed retcon they're trying to make it out to be. In an age where soap actors go along with whatever just to collect a check, seeing one fight for what's right thrills me. Furthermore, I'm not sure why you'd believe that KdP wouldn't sell her next pairing, as she's had no problem doing it through her 20 years playing Blair Cramer. Sure, she's always maintained that Todd is the love of Blair's life, but I've never once seen her tank a pairing and I can't see that changing with this new regime.

Members ChitHappens Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 VH, exactly how is KDP showing that she knows the value of Blair when all she's done is scream to whomever will listen, "I'm nothing without Roger Howarth". Her loser behavior needs to stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 Simple - because she isn't willing to roll over and pretend that Blair Cramer is interchangeable with any lesser characters* like Cartini would like her to. *and yes, I recognize the irony of denying Blair's interchangeability since KdP is a recast, but she's more than made Blair her own in the two decades that she's been on air.

Members ChitHappens Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 Was that before or after she was begging for a spot on GH? She was so happy to be joining GH and FRon were the second coming until they showed that they only needed her to put a big fat PERIOD to TnB!

Members juniorz1 Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 I just marathoned Beverly Hills (I was DVR-less for a period there- painful time). Maybe I'm in Resnick mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 I agree with this. I would have never known that KdP was this into Blair and Todd from what was on screen. She always seemed into each pairing as far as I could tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted March 27, 2013 Members Share Posted March 27, 2013 That's because she's a fantastic actress. I never doubt that KDP can get the job done. However, Blair can move on as much as she wants, but when Todd gets a love interest? KDP goes bonkers, and this is the worst yet. Will she sell the love interest onscreen? Absolutely, but will the fans care when she's done nothing but talk about TnB and how they belong together forever and ever? KDP just makes things harder on herself. Her time should be spent making certain this new show is successful and moving past Roger! Forget what he's doing on GH and who with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
