Members Vee Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 I'm not particularly surprised. It was obvious they didn't know how to use him. They wanted Billy Miller's Billy in the role and David Tom is not that. Plus you had the usual luminaries online crowing about how terrible DT was and how Billy Miller was desperately needed back (along with Michael Muhney, of course, for whom "nothing was proven"). I think he was decent in the role but he was obviously still skewing very young, and in the kind of stories they wanted him in with Amelia Heinle, etc. that was not going to work. That's what made him suffer in the part; he came off petulant. I wouldn't have replaced him, I would've re-tailored Billy's stories to his Billy. But they don't know how to do that unless it's one of Jill's favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members rhinohide Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 You keep bringing up that Emmy nod like it means something. Maybe you're right. Yeah. I'm sure you're right. That's why the great saviors of daytime, Cartini got bupkiss. And Steve Burton also got an emmy nod. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 Couldnt have said it better...hell all your posts about this is spot on. If she didnt want to work with him then her ass should have been fired....I am done with this show!! Bradley Bell should hire David and put him on B&B.

Members rhinohide Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 I could not stand him on OLTL and I was one of the (if not THE) most outspoken critics of this casting choice. But I've actually begun enjoying him as long as he's kept far from Victoria. And I feel the same way about every other character on the show. Just keep them away from Victoria. She sucks.

Members PJA Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 I thought he was doing an okay job but according to another article I read on this subject he was not well received by fans. I'm not a huge fan of recasts so I was glad they were able to at least get someone who played him before but this new person who is 40 years old?????

Members PJA Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 This is the first time they had to "find" someone to fit her if that's even the case because I don't believe it is. Just another reason for folks to bash AH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 And how do you know this? I would sure like to know because I haven't heard AH say anything negative about working with DT nor have I heard any backstage drama between them. Not saying that you're wrong but I'm just curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 What did she say in her interviews about DT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 I keep seeing people say this, but I think the chances of HT coming back just went from 1% to 0000001%. They just treated her brother like $hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PJA Posted May 23, 2014 Members Share Posted May 23, 2014 She was probably tweeting that because she knew they were looking for a replacement. I'm sure she had to screen test with this new guy which means she knew they were looking to replace Billy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
