Plus, this show is barely 25 episodes old lol. Anything playing out with Dr. Ted now was clearly planned from the beginning regardless of the actor. Sorry that Tr0ll Account #3 didn't get the show bible or any creative input whatsoever. Don't call them, they (won't) call you.

It's fine to not blame his behavior, but that behavior will not help him. And no, he wasn't sent to the curb like a trash bag.

 

I'm sorry, but this is hyperbole to the nth degree. The hatred is not high.

But you know who will show hate? The nutjobs who act like Maurice Johnson is the greatest daytime actor of all time and who should be given a lifetime Emmy for his 13 weeks of work.

Dude has been warning 'this show/actor better bring it!!' since early last year when he realized P&G was not accepting unsolicited creative submissions. He just repeats the same 'warnings' over and over. Vanguard Accounts #1-3 don't actually care about Johnson so much as concern tr0lling every aspect of BTG because it is not his soap and never will be. Next month he will have some other Very Serious Concerns.

Exactly.  We know from interviews that Michele Val Jean wrote the character storyline plans in advance and that what has been taped was from her vision. It was said at the Paley Center Feb. 20 that they tape a full three months in advance of the airdate, and that Sheila Ducksworth sees the writing 6 months in advance of airdate.

Nothing was changed about the character of Ted.  Ted's storyline was planned out from the beginning that Ted paid off Leslie in the past and is offering to pay her off again.

It's obvious that they want Ted to be "complex" and not entirely in the right with how he treated Silkpress Sheila, but also not necessarily a bad guy against Nicole and their marriage (as they were going through troubles). I think they might've thought Maurice played it too black and white and seemed like two different characters depending on who he played against.

But I haven't watched this weeks episodes of BtG so my hunch might be wrong.

My suspicion remains that they thought Maurice played it too nice, but you're possibly onto something similar too. I remember being surprised at how charming MJ's Ted was considering the casting notice for Dr. Ted instantly made me think serial killer lol. But I guess that's part of the point of the character having a dark side/secret, provided they're not too diametrically opposed.

Yeah, I think they want this to be a more... nuanced. Not necessarily that Ted is an awful person, but also that Silkpress isn't entirely in the wrong. I suspect they felt like he might've either played it too one-sided (ie Silkpress Sheila is in the wrong, Ted is a honest nice man) OR that he just ends up playing it like two different characters. I suspect he might've not found that balance - I guess we've still got eight more weeks to judge him on, so we'll see. 

He wasn't the first person I'd choose to recast at this moment, but I do think the green newbies are improving and clearly Ted's storyline is front-and-center right now, so that might've made them more inclined to recast.

      To me, Judith McConnell (Sophia, SB) was more poised for Beth than anyone else. Yes, she was, as Sister Beatrice.

      Is that even still possible? I thought that too at first but with Jan saying that she's never lied to Ashley about who her father is... Does Ashley even know who her dad is?

      Unfortunately I only had one or two pages from those months. I believe I posted them but it would only cover one or two shows.

      I think she would have been fine, although Beth was a thankless part. She probably was seen as aging out of the genre after AW.  I forgot she was on Sunset Beach.

      OK, I like the Cat interactions with Xander and EJ. And, I get that there are new writers. But, Clyde was shot 12/11/2024.  So, why have we not heard Xander or EJ's response to the situation for five months!  Clyde shot EJ (or he ordered him shot), shouldn't he react more to the news of his coma.  And, I've never heard EJ or Kristin mention that the woman who lived with them last summer was a fraud. Rather than giving lip service to the idea of family and community, at least it feels like everyone no longer lives in a bubble. Also, while it makes sense to use the hospital as the prize in the war between EJ and Xander.  We all have to admit that under the prior writer, at least Xander, and I think EJ, were dissuaded from buying the hospital went it started to go under in March.  I get the magic sepsis cure makes the hospital more valuable.  But, it seems like the people who are going to get rich are going to be the pharmaceutical companies.  Unless, Kayla and Sarah are going to start manufacturing prescription drugs out of the coffee machine in the lobby.  -- crud, I broke my promise to stop complaining about illogical this story can be.

      I don't know if I could have seen that from her, honestly. But I feel like, outside of GH and her original DAYS stint, American daytime really didn't pay much attention to her, even though they should have.

      Co-sign, 100% on this one. Xander was entirely in the wrong.

      I'm seeing some interesting takes on this thread regarding Dani's behavior/personality, including right now. Here's my take on her: I think that Dani relishes in lighting people up. I think that's for multiple reasons.  I feel like Dani has probably largely been like this throughout her life. And that she gets joy in dragging people whenever she feels like it's necessary. I believe she feels like this is her being herself. I think one big reason why she's particularly giddy right now is because she's able to go back to acting this way, minus the hurt she's been dealing with due to Bill's affair. She got in Bill and Hayley's faces after their affair/wedding, but she was miserable doing it due to dealing with the hurt of that situation. Nicole's situation with Ted/Eva/Leslie allows her to act this way minus her suffering like she did at the hands of Bill. I believe she does empathize/care for her sister but is also interestingly enough rejuvenated by this situation. This situation is energizing her and making her act more like old self again, minus being hurt by her own's husband's infidelity. I think Nicole's situation is also a distraction for her from dealing with her own failed marriage to Bill.
