Really not here for more newbies

[Darn]

People are gonna feel like they're watching a P&G soap lol.

Ron Raines? Nice!

*waits for complaints about OLTL being overrun/invaded by P&G actors*

;-)

[Antoyne]

Never heard of any of them.

Ron Raines

[Juliajms]

I imagine some of them will at least be "old" roles.

[dragonflies]

Weird that Marnie was cast on OLTL given she looks like a younger Cady McClain and even sounds like her

[Darn]

I can't speak on Paolo Serganti but Ron Raines is a ham who yells to the back of the theater and Marnie Schulenburg is just a terrible actress.

[KMan101]

Ron Raines! That's a shocker. I honestly thought Colleen Zenk would end up on a PP soap. I wish they'd hire her. I've always liked her.

Not crazy about his character's plain ass name though.

Paolo Seganti ... nice, but I've never been super excited over him.

Marnie Schulenberg was awful as Alison, no? Or was she liked, I barely remember her because I didn't watch much when she was playing the part.

EDIT: Anyone still having posting issues? It's getting annoying

[teplin]

I didn't like either Seganti or Raines in their previous soap roles, so I'm not particularly excited by this news ... but I'll keep an open mind. I assume these roles are creations of the incoming headwriters rather than the previous ones?

[dragonflies]

Yeah I'm having posting issues too.

Marnie was okay on ATWT. not a spectacular actress at all. I'm just glad they didn't rehire Jessica Morris or bring Alicia Leigh Willis to OLTL or AMC lol

[Gray Bunny]

I second that! Nice casting!

[marceline]

I'd be interested to hear what someone who's lived through Wheeler's GL thinks about PP's production model.
