As much as I appreciated that that story did follow through with making RH's Todd the real deal (there was no coming back from TSJ's version of the character after raping Marty yet again and trying to steal Starr's kid and probably a bunch of other things I've managed to block out), I couldn't stand the CIA stuff. As you said, it was silly. I didn't even remember the signet ring part, actually.
Speaking of RH, I have a vague memory of listening to a podcast, maybe during COVID, where RH talked about departing. My memory on it is fuzzy, but maybe you or someone remembers and can confirm -- I think I remember him actually saying that someone at OLTL passed him a note warning him that Malone was going to pair Todd and Marty and that RH needed to leave as soon as he could, which was how he ended up going to ATWT. I can't remember which podcast this might have been -- I was listening to tons of podcasts around that time -- or if I have the details right, but that has always stayed with me because I hadn't heard that part, that someone had warned him. In my memory, he didn't actually say who it was that warned him. Now I'm wondering if I made it up. But I also have a memory tied to that of Malone admitting, either on that same podcast or maybe on another one, that he really was going to pair Todd and Marty, and that shocked me, because I'd always been convinced that he never would have gone there.
Those are good points about the gothic aspect, style elements, and similar tropes. I guess it's the execution that bothers me so much, which would have been some factors outside of his control but also in his control.
I've read about the 13 Bourbon Street pilot. Wasn't Tuc Watkins supposed to star? Was anyone else going to be in it?
Oh, I was hooked during Malone II, even if I didn't like all the stories.
I couldn't remember which writer did the Cristian twist but it doesn't surprise me that it would have been Higley.
Wow. Well, my first guess was FH because all I've ever heard about JDP backstage is that he was noisy when he didn't like something, but maybe by 2001 he had mellowed/maybe due to his friendship (I'm going to assume they were friends) with FH, he wouldn't have wanted to be very on the record about no longer wanting them to work together?
I'll go with that guess. Also because I think I remember he liked Max and Roxy, and IIRC that was where he went next.
Tori is also my favorite alter. She's the most fun to watch.
October 10, 2005. They think it's Margaret, I believe. I couldn't bring myself to do more than just click around the episode on Youtube.
You're welcome! She looks good.
