One Life to Live's Robert Gorrie Talks On His First Season As Matthew Buchanan!

I think he is a good recast & I thought he handled the role very well but in all honesty I need a break from seeing Matthew on every show. Hope that changes if there is a season two.
Rob has done a great job as Matthew. Like Jen P. said I wish we could have seen how Matt got to the place he was at in the first episode. I hope that he and Destiny are totally endgame.
I dont think its much of a stretch that Matthew was acting out a bit. Anyone who watched the last of OLTL on ABC would know the kid went through a lot. He killed a man, he was in a wheelchair, he was in a coma and almost died, he became a father without even knowing it, etc. No doubt he just wanted to be a normal kid and have fun and party. He really does look and act like a slightly older version of Eddie Alderson. I hope they focus in on where they want Matthew to go rather… Read more »
I’m very pleased with Rob’s performance. He’s doing a great job as Matthew the man. I will always love Eddie Alderson because I watched him grow up and think he did a terrific job as Matthew grew. Since Eddie chose to go to LA, I think Rob is a great recast.
Rob is an excellent recast and a good actor. I’ve enjoyed his part in the rebooted OLTL and hope the hiatus will be very brief. Sure, I’d like to have 5 episodes a week but I’m very pleased with the two new installments we’ve been receiving weekly. I also like the 30-minute format and the swift action much better than prolonged 60-minute episodes with excessive padding. Rob has played Matthew well and we look forward to enjoying his work in the future!
I would think that Michelle is part of the bigger picture since Jeffrey was sent to befriend Matthew in London,and later introduced Matthew to Michelle via his facebook page.He led Matthew to her.
He was surprisingly really good as Matthew this first season–and maybe not so surprisingly super-sexy!
I’m not sure if we all knew that there was a chance the show would be canceled again because of the labor dispute…thought it was just another kink and another delay. interesting… I have liked this guy from the beginning. Personally, once they made Matthew (Eddie Alderson) bratty he kind of got on my nerves…the character and the actor. I think Rob brings a fresh approach; he’s good-looking and has made the role his own. And on that note…I like the new Destiny as well. The original actress would never have seemed a fit with this version of Matthew. I… Read more »
No explanation of Matthew needed.
From the first episode it felt like we found ourselves eavesdropping on the lives of our beloved characters, like their life went on without us for 16months, and we had to figure out what was happening.. I loved it.
Am looking forward to OLTL 2.0 season two and beyond.
(Otherwise I might have to drop HuluPlus)
The younger characters but especially Rob’s portrayal of Matthew has been a huge highlight- the biggest highlight for me- of Season 1. He just was Matthew from ep 1- and I really thought this would be a recast that would take significant time to adjust. I totally agree with Rob’s take on Matthew/Destiny & I hope that’s where the show is ultimately headed- the chemistry between the actors is palpable even when they’re in group scenes with Michelle & Jeffrey. He’s great opposite Kelley Missal too but they have more of a friends who have a great will they/won’t they… Read more »
It’s hard to be a recast, but Mr. Gorrie has done a fine job. He seems like a down to earth guy and I think he’s made the role his own. I look forward to seeing how Matthew’s story plays out next season.
I think PP did a very good job by recast Rob as Matthew along with Laura Hrrier as Destiny. I an’t wait for season 2 on what’s next for Matthew and Destiny, I hope thy finally be together and raise Drew together as a family.
