I was so into Antonio and Andy, I can’t even tell you. GH’s Tom/Felicia’s sex scenes had made me cringe, I watched the A-Team’s* avidly. I couldn’t stand most of Antonio’s 2000’s run, but that can’t all or even mostly be put Kamar. I enjoyed parts of Tonio/Keri, though the writing was often dire (remember Carlotta’s rage over Keri’s bad credit? lol.) And he worked very well with Talia, even if it there were echoes to the relationship with Andy. Of course, that’s when TPTB, in their infinite wisdom, killed her off and let Kamar walk. I adored Antonio and Andy (Kamar was apparently the one who stopped JFP from killing her off in the line of duty when he returned solo). Wendee Pratt may have been a dicey actress in hindsight but I just loved them. I am revisiting some of that stuff now in his honor. We made such brutal sport of Antonio in his second run online, and I feel guilty about some of it. In fairness he spent so much of that time as a domineering, misogynistic character with tendencies towards rage both as a boyfriend and an officer of the law that enabled some of the actor's worst onscreen habits, but Kamar was also a brilliant actor when he got good material which was frankly quite rare in the 2000s. I did like the C-pairing with Talia a lot. Killing her and letting Kamar leave with a whimper - on an endless police assignment, abandoning his child (like John McBain later would) - always upset me.

jsbt February 6 Share February 6 GH and ATWT/GL fans have had it remarkably hard with loss in recent years, but lately it seems like it's OLTL's turn. This loss, though, isn't a castmember so much as a very sad tragedy for Erika Slezak, whose daughter Amanda recently passed away. We were the same age. Erika has never stopped talking about her kids; not in interviews, not in her newsletter. She's extremely proud and devoted. I remember when Amanda played young Viki in some scenes in 2003. This is just an awful thing. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/140270-oltl-outside-llanview-the-cast-in-other-roles/page/23/#findComment-8278763

marypat57 July 28 Share July 28 I know that this is an “oldie”, but I have enjoyed watching some old B&W episodes of soaps on YouTube. Some of the shows are from the late1950’s/early 1960’s. I was pleased to see OLTL veteran Nat Polen aka Dr Jim Craig, playing of course, Dr Doug Cassen on As The World Turns. I was amazed to see everyone lighting up cigarettes and smoking. The “dramatic” organ music also served to emphasize plot points. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/140270-oltl-outside-llanview-the-cast-in-other-roles/page/23/#findComment-8421907

jsbt September 22 Share September 22 (edited) It's a Llanview wedding! Eddie Alderson (Matthew Buchanan) tied the knot and a bunch of OLTLers were there. I count Brittany Underwood (Langston), Kristen (Starr), Nic Robuck (Gay James), RSW (Bo), Robin (Dorian), and of course KDP (Blair) and James DePaiva (Max). I feel terrible not knowing who the Black guy is but I think he may be from the crew, who knows! (These are not my tweets btw, I don't Twitter.)

jsbt October 18 Share October 18 We regret to inform that David Vickers has once again come up over on General Hospital. Per yesterday's (rather pointless) retcon reveal that Sasha Gilmore is the daughter of Emma Samms' fan favorite con artist Holly Sutton, Sasha complained that her mother ditched in Llanview years ago with 'that Vickers guy' after a con they were running went bad.

Melgaypet October 18 Share October 18 I get you, dubbel zout, but I always thought Ethan being a Holly/Robert kid made so much more sense storytelling-wise than him being Luke's. But when was the last time a GH regime actually cared about storytelling? Y'know, Cutter and Kim being siblings and children of Alex also came out of nowhere and didn't make a lot of sense if you thought about it, but it wasn't nearly as aggravating. I wonder if it was because I liked both those characters, while Cody and Sasha are both walking, talking piles of nothing?

Plus, if he were revealed as Robert's son, he may have been written differently. Though the whole point of him being created as Luke and Holly's kid makes it all moot, I suppose.

I don't know The internal logic for Cutter and Kim didn't work, but everything else did for me. I think that WTF was acceptable because Kim and Cutter were more fun as characters than Sasha and Cody are, definitely. Sasha and Cody are so bland, which is the problem with way too many GH characters. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/140270-oltl-outside-llanview-the-cast-in-other-roles/page/23/#findComment-8484136
jsbt October 18 Share October 18 The only reason Ethan wasn't Robert and Holly's is because Tony Geary put his foot down more than once, AFAIK. Cutter and Kim being siblings let alone Alex's kids was always bizarre to me. I never understood that timeline either. Was Alex supposed to be running cons while she was a FAB agent pre-Llanview or was this supposed to have happened between '97 and '01?

Grinaldi October 20 Share October 20 At least the Alex reveal brought some life to that "Stacy" and Cutter in Argentina stuff. I don't understand why GH keeps dropping David Vickers stuff. It never makes sense (Blair doesn't even see him as a sexual being at this point let alone as a partner to cheat with.) And it doesn't bring anything to the GH side.

His career is too big for that now, though knowing Tuc he probably wouldn't begrudge appearing on a soap from time to time again. He's always been a class act. Admittedly, in another time and place I do actually think Tuc as David would function well as a crossover soap schemer like Marco Dane did on GH in the early '90s, to appear for guest stints. But today the well is so thoroughly poisoned for that at GH by Frank and Ron over the last 12 years that I think it's still a bad idea - characters like David or Blair (or pre-MeToo, Todd) who I wouldn't have minded seeing come in and out for short stories to mix things up now just feel like insult to injury. I'm pretty sure Lucky's hot doctor buddy, Isaiah Gannon, will turn out to be R.J.'s son or something next. No way they gave him that name at random. Oy.
