Guiding light alum joins YR

Another question. when GL ended, has he ever expressed intrerest in doing another soap?

[Paul Raven]

By that time most soaps were west coast and he said he would only relocate for a long term contract role.

[AmandainNC28655]

I wonder if he is long term since he said he would only relocate for a long term role or if this is just to wrap up storyline.

[Vee]

Newman doesn't need the work; he's been doing a lot of primetime/cable/etc. and I believe a lot of theater. I doubt they'll keep him long.

[Taoboi]

Same.

[Darn]

I don't know, he took the job, he might need the work.

[Khan]

Same.

As much as I would enjoy seeing RN again, I just don't believe his Ashland will click with AH's Victoria.  If Josh Griffith and Tony Morina were smart, they'd pivot him toward someone else.  But, I have a feeling that once they reach the inevitable dead-end with those two, they'll either send Ashland out of town or send him to the morgue.

Nikki seems like an obvious option, as people have mentioned, and she’s been sitting around doing nothing since JG took over.

From SOD

Robert Newman as Ashland appears February 9th.
First week he was sent five scripts to shoot on three different days in the first week.
Five episodes one on Wednesday, two on Thursday and Friday.
Had a zoom meeting with Josh and Tony where they talked extensively about the character. Paid particular attention to his relationship with Vikki because relationships are important.
He didn't watch Burgi take of Ashland.
The way Y&R shoots is close to the way they shot before they went through the big transition in the last few years of GL.
He clicked with Amelia and he already adores her. Terrific and professional through and through. Generous and patient. Finding all sorts of surprising connections btn the two characters already.

 He's Pleased with his first five episodes

Every soap actor joining a new show says all this garbage. Let's see how he feels in 3 months when the story moves like molasses and goes nowhere.

That's right! Fix it! Don't get banned!

Ho.

Heart you

[Vee]

I have to because some people don't know us! Now they do though which is why I can say I will beat you to death.

[Darn]

Lmao I hate you

[Khan]

[!@#$%^&*] the soaps.  I'd rather watch @Darn and @Vee in a buddy comedy.

Robert Newman looks great, but he looks better clean shaven imo. Makes him look quite a bit younger, but even back in the day, I liked it better.
