Thank you Southerner, for posting this in the Spoiler Forum. Since there is no GL spoiler in it and because I thought it will gain greater attention and
discussion over here in the main discussion forum, I copied it here. (Your original post is still in the Spoiler forum too.) I hope you don't mind!
Wow. This is big news for Oakdale! I wonder if they will have him reprise an existing character - that would be my preference. There are some great characters from ATWT who are being sorely missed ... bringing a very popular actor to play one of those roles would be absolutely fabulous, in case the original portrayer is not available for some reason ... It sounds like TP has confidence in David Kreizman, eh? Who knows, may be DK away from EW's "magical touch" may do a better job than he did at GL?

Really? I wasn't going to watch that soap, but now I just might have to! I love Tom, but I was afraid the show would get cancelled too. I watched ATWT
for years, but gave up on it years ago.

I love Tom but in ligth of the statement a few weeks ago in sow that atwt may be gone by dec09 i think its an attempt to save the show. For me it would only do
it if they brought Kim with him.

Best news all day!!!! How great would it be if Pelphrey took Jonathan there? Maybe other GL characters can cross over as well. We definitely need more info.
on when his first on screen day is going to be.

Are there any former GL actors on ATWT or possibly from the old soap known as Loving Or The City? I have limited soap experience.

Hunt Block, who played Ben Warren on GL went over to ATWT to be Craig Montgomery for a few years. His going there was the reason that I started watching ATWT
in the first place.
Judi Evans, who originated the role of Beth on GL and who was Beth through all the Four Musketeers saga, just joined ATWT, a couple of weeks ago. My guess is that they will develop her brand new role into a love interest for Holden Snyder ... I hadn't considered your idea of TP going over as JR. Now, that would be interesting! |

Incidentally, I am not giving up on ATWT. I may not, if I have to cling to my last anchor to the happiness of listening to stories via television or books or
what have you.
Heck, I have not given up on GL yet! I will not give up. Having said that, I think that TP is a very intelligent performer and actor. If he is willing to hitch his star to ATWT, I will stay and watch! And cheer! |

I know who Ben Warren is....so he will be familiar. I thought Amelia Heinle was on ATWT, turns out its Young And The Restless. I dont want a certain influx of GL characters to come in and over run and disrupt ATWT storylines/characters. Dont need the show to be so crowded. But I think a few could join and it would be alright.

Hunt Block is not on ATWT any more - he was Craig for a few years.
Amelia Heinle was on AMC before going over to Y&R, right? Do you remember Judi Evans as Beth? Weeeeeeeeeeeelllll .... I would be happy if TP was cast as JR on ATWT, but since I can take Reva only in extremely small doses, I would rather she visited Oakdale extremely occasionally. Having said that, I realize that such a transition for JR to Oakdale would be somewhat difficult. Not impossible, but just difficult and can be still very interesting, I think. ATWT has its own ethos, has its own reasons of being and if ATWT is to succeed in staying alive as a soap, it will be better for ATWT to bring in GL actors as either new characters or recast of ATWT characters; the important thing is survival of this sister soap now. Right now, JR is a character who can easily transfer to Oakdale and start anew, but I really do not wish most of his old connections to come on over. That will certainly be not for the benefit of ATWT. |

I was a huge ATWT fan for many years. I watched it with my mom when she died I stopped watching. My two soaps were ATWT and GL. Now I'm thinking about
starting up with ATWT again, especially with the news of TP coming on board. I just wonder how many of the old characters are still on and if the families are
still being represented. I would love to see some of the old ones on there too. I still remember Nancy in her kitchen pounding on bread dough trying to solve
all the families problems! lol Now that really ages me!

Sorry Jonathon Randall, I totally disagree with Reva heading over being a plus, lol. If fact I can't imagine a bigger blunder, lol, well I could, if they
sent JON over too, lol. I do still watch ATWT, in fact I catch that more than GL anymore, due to several things...one being timing. I can barely stand the
character on GL, another reason for my lack of interest in the whole show if we're being honest, and I cannot imagine her crashing around Oakdale,
screeching and hollering, slinging a diaper bag and bellowing "MYSON". Lol! Just not gonna work.

I watched ATWT since it was a 15 minute black and white show! I stopped watching many years ago though, when it got to be boring. Now, so many of the
characters are played by different people, it would be like starting over with a new soap. I remember Justin Deas/Buzz, being Tom Hughes on ATWT. I will see
where some of my other favorite actors are going and decide then, what to watch next.

Although I am thinking of watching ATWT because of TP, my heart still is with GL. I still hope that some how it is saved and will be back on the air. I will be
one of the first to tune in along with you all!! I agree with Loretta, I'm sure it would be like starting all over again. I too will be watching where my
favorite actors are going. I don't want to lose touch with any of them and hope I will know where and when some of them will be performing.

Lol! Just not gonna work.Ms Mistoffelees, you are certainly speaking for me here - I was trying to put my case in milder words, but I am glad you didn't mince yours
