TeeVee329 March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 If the rumors about Ron having wanted to make Roxy transgender on OLTL are true, I bet he's seething about all the reactions "The Bold and the Beautiful" is getting today. "But I'm the savior of soaps, me, Ron!" 3 Link to comment

Tiger March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 Stay tuned for nine months of Morgan-is-bald jokes! Hey now, let's be fair: he's balding, not bald! Did that web soap he was doing ever debut? I'm curious to see him in another role. He comes across as a major 'brah' on insta, and I wonder if he can play a role devoid of that. 1 Link to comment
tvgoddess March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 (edited) Youthful Daze is in its third season, I think? I saw a couple of eps with him in it, mainly because I wanted to see the same thing that you did. Liked his character much more, although it's literally only about a couple of minutes total screen time. He plays an older brother around Michael's age to a younger brother about Morgan's age, which was an interesting dynamic to see. Character is a rebel, used to steal cars, etc. The whole show is just too much of the same thing, so I lost patience with it pretty quickly. Edited March 19, 2015 by tvgoddess Link to comment

jsbt March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 It's just a matter of time before she's back for many more stints, gets a contract and is then revealed to be a core character. Not that I'd have a problem with any of that in theory, but when the show is so overloaded with characters at the moment and can't service at least half of them it's all just way too much. I still think she should've been Sarah Webber. 4 Link to comment

ulkis March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 They should just had her say her name was Rebecca Budig and be done with it. I couldn't get past two seconds of that promo. the cheese was strong with that one, to keep up today's Star Wars references. 2 Link to comment

ulkis March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 (edited) This. I liked AMC, it was my other soap, but it was cancelled 3 and a half years ago now. No one is gonna bring in any significant up-swell of viewers, unless it's Lucci. Edited March 20, 2015 by ulkis 2 Link to comment

BestestAuntEver March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 Why do Crapitini keep going after people without knowing what to do with them story wise. Ron is truly like a kid who wants every toy but doesn't play with it and won't share. 1 Link to comment

jsbt March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I think Erika can pull it off; she has before as Niki Smith. But I'm glad they went outside, Dee Wallace is a great actress and a genre legend of my childhood who I am sure Ron will waste. 5 Link to comment
TeeVee329 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 As much as I loved Erika as Viki, I'm glad she's not playing Pat, especially because you know Ron would contrive up some scene between Pat and Franco where they remark that they feel like brother and sister. Pass. 8 Link to comment

Pass. Yeah, it would've turned into another nasty jab at OLTL going on without him, which is why I'm glad they didn't do it. Also, frankly, I am unconvinced Ron isn't holding a bit of a grudge against every actor who committed to the show without him. 3 Link to comment

But I'm glad they went outside, Dee Wallace is a great actress and a genre legend of my childhood who I am sure Ron will waste. She also had a soap connection: She was married to actor Christopher Stone, who was the actor after Edward Mallory to play Bill Horton on Days for a time. He died some years back (hence the part of Bill once more being recast when Frances Reid's Alice died, as I believe Mr. Mallory has also passed away). Link to comment
dubbel zout March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 LOL that Ava's hospital bedspread is tailored. "I gotta go; I don't want to be late for the rumble." Hee. I'm surprised little birds didn't fly around Spinelli's head when he went down for the count. Ava, take it from someone who's had chemo: It's not like taking an aspirin. You're going to get worse before you get better. It's a process. I feel her on the barfing, though. Nausea is the worst. Were Jake and Liz eating grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner? NTTAWWT. Today was so boring. So not a Friday episode. The Budig promo is ridiculous. 1 Link to comment

OnceSane March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I don't need any more actors from other soaps. Hell, I dont want any more actors or characters added until a tornado swoops through and kills at least 10-12 members of the current crop. 4 Link to comment
TeeVee329 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) Here's something else I don't understand about the promo and the interview. Calling her a "maneater" implies she's going to go after every guy in town. But if she's here presenting herself as Jake(son)'s loving wife, I don't see how that applies, unless Ric plans to pay her using nature's credit card. Edited March 21, 2015 by TeeVee329 3 Link to comment
HeatLifer March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 I don't know about "loving wife." Budig said she couldn't believe some of the things her character was saying to Liz. So it's clear she'll be cray. Link to comment
TeeVee329 March 21, 2015 Share March 21, 2015 (edited) Oh I'm sure she's the new Nina. But like Nina, her focus will be on one man - Jake(son). She's not out to seduce every dude in town, which is what "maneater" would seem to symbolize. Edited March 21, 2015 by TeeVee329 Link to comment
