Recommended Posts

  • Members

Burton says in the new TV GUIDE that he had no plans to leave DAYS, he said that then the door closed there, and then another opened, and it happened quickly 

 

He also mentions he might have two or three years left of acting then wants to do other things, he says he is grateful to be able to come back at his age

They offered him that story & he declined. Given that he complained about having too many lines to learn at DAYS I think we can conclude that the effort as an actor that would be required of a potential Emmy story where they dealt with his brain trauma & made him back into Jason Q, is just far more effort than he wants to put in. 

They are on hiatus this week. His first tape days back begin next week.

You know what.....NOPE

Shows are giving their actors/actresses to much control on story. I would have been like Steve , Jason comes back with his Q memories and is conflicted about his life as Jason Morgan. If Burton said no, I'd say ok guess you wont return to GH. Call Y &R and see if they will take your ass back .

Generally speaking I agree that some actors are given too much control over story. But I do not think it is true for most actors, so it could be worse. I believe most people are playing whatever they're given to play. For example apparently both Michael Easton & Becky Herbst do not want to be playing the romantic couple Fiz but they're having to do so, and no one in the office is interested in their opinion. But, we know that both Mo & Burton have say in what they play.

    • If the show was interested in tying in one of the three prime time specials in the 90s, the smarter choice probably would have been Night Sins from 1993. Night Sins was the ushering in of Titan Publishing, the first mentions of Kate Roberts coming in to run it, plus it had involved Jack retyping a manuscript he had found in the new house he and Jen moved into... which ended up being a thinly veiled story written by Kate about her dalliance with Bill Horton that produced Lucas. However, I doubt the writers were even thinking about the prime time episodes when deciding to name the manuscript One Stormy Night.  I also don't see Stephanie being the one that would be writing it.  The current actress playing Stephanie seems to play a more passive version of Stephanie vs the previous takes by Shayna and Shelley..imho. Javi is cute... much too good for Leo.  He can do so much better.
    • I might've gone after someone like Jed Allan, or even Donald May. Though they're very different.
    • Same.   Looking forward to seeing what I missed later.
    • Question for all: Who would have made a good Mike recast after Stewart departed?
    • I think they did. Again, it is not an either/or proposition for most of the audience so far. Most don't feel the need to stan one or reject the other.
    • KKL on Bold Live on May 1st. Details here  
    • I do wonder if the show realized that fans would take to Silk Press and Eva as much as we have?    To me, I think the core four was mostly used to get eyes on the show since all four were familiar performers in both daytime and primetime.   Of the four, I think Nicole is used most effectively where it doesn't look as though she's hogging airtime.  She works as a lead and as a talk to. Anita has been the most under utilized of the four, but I do have a feeling that might be changing once the Ted/Nicole/Eva/Silk Press Story goes back to support status. Of the four, I think Dani has been over-used.. but I do still see potential for the character.  I know some people think she's the modern day Erica Kane, but I don't see that.  Erica was a Have Not that became a Have while Dani is a Have by birth and has done nothing to have earned being a Have. Good cliffhanger.
    • LOL now this sells it for me!  I can't wait to watch later tonight!
    • I think this is a great observation.  I do wonder if some of that was down to how Nixon had started writing story and plot outlines.  By this point (maybe even by the mid 70s) many have discussed how she *didn't* write detailed story outlines anymore--the focus more was on a mood or theme and ABC simply allowed that because they trusted her at this stage (in her "memoir" I think even Megan McTavish talks about Nixon's writing in this way in the 90s and she basically seems to admit that it worked for Nixon.  But if Nixon wasn't in charge of the daily execution of these ideas...)
    • Ooooooo that was a soap reveal!!!   And we even got a brief Kat vs Eva fight.   OOoooo cliffhanger!!! Oh, yeah, I remember they had a cover story, but I find it interesting that it was just mentioned again today. I wonder could it be foreshadowing another twist coming up.
