Maybe Tyler needs someone like Dorothy Lyman, Celia.

You can read an article about the guest stars of Greta’s Coronation in a link I gave Jimmy. So look for that.

@4ever DAYS.
Hi, there, 4ever,
Thank you so much…just watched the clip. WOW!! I hadn’t called my grandmother yet…..she would also know, as she’s been watching since the show first aired. ….
…..in 2001 I was all of 15… and, although I did watch whenever I could, I do not remember Tyler as a character on Days.
Looove Dorothy….I have caught a few eps of “Mama’s Family”….. and she was on AMC, wasn’t she? Do you mean Tyler needs Dorothy, as a mother? Or a lover? LOL.
Thanks, again, my friend.

You are never wrong, Jimmy. Everytime you say something, more likely than not, it happens!!
I like Robin, myself….anyone from OLTL is welcome .
But, Vivian is Vivian….I equate her to Helena….I just wonder who would tip the scale when it comes to deviltry?

PS….Hey, Jimmy….I will give you a teaser, ok?
What is going on with the dizzy spells? Is there a ‘bug’ going on in Salem? ……or, or, or…..either Lani is pregnant with Eli’s baby, or Steve is pregnant by asexual reproduction. LOL.

Was he, Jimmy? I don’t know, that he was, either. I don’t think so…..but, I may be wrong. Have to ask my grandmother.

Yes, Jimmy, Tyler was one of 10 guest stars for Greta’s Coronation. You can read about it here:

I will reply to Celia with a link to a scene with Tyler and Dorothy Lyman. Look for that reply.

lani pregnant…ok…im late with the answer…computer problems…still working on them,,,later!!!

Hire Gabi Chic? 😉

Although I am not a fan of the actress or her wardrobe, I think you are right when you say that she dresses like a lady and not a tramp. For example, wardrobe dresses Gabi like an escort, IMO, and it’s so tacky.

“Thank You” @Chrystie-Delancey – Marci Miller is amazing to me

everything about her presence .. is standout… she’s bohemian, a lady, looks like Cheryl Tiegs…. (LOL) check her out! I love her sense of style. w/Chad. they rock the DiMera Manse.. this is coming from newbies… a much younger couple.. that have made it. MADE IT in this genre. Yeah.. i’ll debate that with even these young starlet(s)

I can’t believe how much I love this romance… I VOTED them best couple.. imagine Drew and Sam being voted as such. NO WAY

the love she shares for Chad and ben… and her care for Andre… and her sharing the manor with Kate… this is coming from a Horton.. not so uptight , standing on her own… contributing… and has her own sense of self. LOVE

whew! every thing @DAYS is going so good… no complaints…

OK – ONE

???? huh ? i’m a week behind.. what is this about Theo heading of to Africa for treatment… GONE A FULL YEAR ?

is this because of that immature behind the scenes with the real actor ? Kyler, sharing “story line”

I POSTED… no one will remember or care… WE JUST WANT good story… we are all getting that… Kyler Pettis is AMAZING WITH James Reynolds. he made an honest mistake

i’m sorry to see him go… if this is the case. the complete show of Abe Carver and family is not in disarray just jumbled some.

Hi, Chrystie….LOL…..I was talking about the color, not the style, so much. Yellow is not a good color for very light skin.
As yourself, I like Marci/Abbi very much….She and Chad look good together and their attraction is palbable, more so than with Kate Mansi, I think.
But, not so much with Jennifer, yet….that will come.
I like the way she confronts Stefan unflinchingly…..however, is this going somewhere? Are TPTB goint towards a love triangle here? It would be typical….so, no surprise there.

Gabi is here, there, and everywhere when it comes to men…..she always seems to be attracted to men that do not belong to her.
Never liked her….never will. She may seem to be fiery, wear stylish clothes, pretty, gorgeous hair….but no inherent sex-appeal.
However, we never know what character will be coupled with whom……writers are soooo volitile….we shall see. Theresa would be perfect for Stefan…..isn’t she returning to Salem?

YES, Patrick!!!!!! You said it all !!

its not Days its bad story

I’m new to Days…just binged from November to present day and I think it’s fantastic. The acting by everyone is exemplary. Tyler is cast in the same type role as Nic on GH…but he’s great at being a “smooth operator.” Never over-the-top, he delivers with a glance, a raised eyebrow, a nod of his head. And he walks the regal walk of the rich and powerful that he plays so well.

As for Marci Miller…I love her! I think she’s beautiful…tough yet girly…and though she appears to be her husband’s dutiful, loyal wife who always stands by her man…to the point of them reminding me of the street couples I used to know in my days out dancing in the clubs…the tough, macho, hothead dude and his loyal “chick”…she’s actually quite smart, saavy, and knows just how to reach him and calm him down when no one else can. I think they have great chemistry.

As for her looks; I think she’s gorgeous and I like the good girl/non glitz wardrobe that belies the tough spirited female within.

I agree to a certain point, blake—Marci is not your typicalvixen…you know, ‘hey, look at me’, -type.
Glad to ‘converse’ with you…..it’s been a while….
I don’t like some of her wardrobe…..I don’t like her bland ( as you say) make-up, her seemingly bland persona ( only my opinion, which means nothing in the grand scheme if things, LOL). I looove her and Chad together….their easy ‘canter’, per se.
However, we cannot dismiss her determination….I like her subdued arrogance ( sorry about the oxymoron) ….it only means that she can engage with any hard-arse character—we saw that “can’t bend me” exterior with Stefan.
I agree about her look, though….we like what we like, but I respect her choice of how she presents herself….
DOOL’s is a peaceful site. We all get along….we do not need anyone disrupting the harmony with unwelcomed harsh tones…..
We say what we feel, as you just did and respond each other politely, albeit our opinions may vary.
I hope this continues and does not become as ‘rebellious’ as GH.

Should have added conceit is not much of a personality and that is all Im seeing

I could see that since Vivian will only be on for four months. But I wish Kate was with a younger stud like Stefan.

I am so surprised by the resemblance. which WOULD BE a really GREAT reveal down the road. since it’s said that Louise Sorel is only on for a glorious 4 months.

although… it bothers me some.. that Lucas always seems to get the short end of the stick. it certainly seemed like she gave more time and attention.. so did the camera to billie and Austin. now it could be Stefan… heck, even Chad. she h as so many kids… you’d never know she was a mother.

sucks… after all the time past.. since the “fake” marriage of Kate and Andre. now that Andre has put his heart on the line.. and Kate said she has to think about it. OH NO. I really like the camaraderie and goals that this twosome have. just to be at the top of their game in the corporate world… and high browing it at the Manse. save me a martini. so.. however this plays out… I want to have my Koslow and Penglis. no matter what

well.. kudos to Tyler Christopher.. as soon as he makes HIS NEST . he’ll settle in and make his mark in Salem. I certainly am not thinking of his role @GH.. as Nicholas Cassadine… THIS IS TC big time… and i’m just glad my telee can tune in to all of him.

Hmmmm. My mind didn’t even go there, Satan…..you’re right. I do see some resemblance…uncanny!! Must pay more attention when they are together. What a twist that would be.

I had no idea, Chrystie….how many Carly’s were there? I thought it was only Tamara Braun…

Agree he has gone way too far to prop up his ABC pets. He leaves Days favorites just drinking coffee on occasion. Im rather fed up with Carlivati. To date, he is no improvement

YES…..WOW, Satan!!….you alwsys come out with the right, ” what could have been”…I love Charlotte Ross—perfect fit.

I don’t think that any o f these guys who brings actors from defunct shows are “propping their pets.” It’s a ratings game and as we know there are only 4 left from twelve. It seems that in an effort to gain viewers they’re trying to use actors that viewers loved and lost when their shows were canceled. There were many viewers who, after being completely heartbroken that characters/actors they had become accustomed to seeing in their homes for years, sometimes decades, were, almost without warning, ripped from their lives.

I know I’ve just started watching Days because I was curious to see Tyler…and love that quite a few GH actors…Gregg Vaughan, Stephen Nichols, Mary Beth Evans, Theo Penghlis, Wally Kurth…are there, as well as Kassie from OLTL. So, for me, as a new viewer, having these beloved actors was a plus and an added incentive to check out the show. I wouldn’t keep watching it JUST because they’re on if I didn’t like it…but it was a reason I checked it out to begin with.

It’s a business. And a ratings game. I think with the remaining four soaps they’re still trying to figure out how to up the viewership and bringing on soap actors from soaps gone by is one way. They may lose a few viewers, too, but if it’s more beneficial to draw people in (particularly if a role opens up and isn’t just created) then I think it’s a win-win.

@rebecca

To be fair, Greg Vaughan & Thaao Penghlis were on GH first, but the others you listed were long time Days vets before they ever set foot in Port Charles. Hell, even in Thaao’s case there was a good 30 years or so between his first run as Victor Cassadine and his more recent return visit (to usher in the supposed return of Jason Morgan, who we now know was actually his twin brother)

The difference here is that nobody is going to mistake Eric Brady for his previous character Lucky Spencer, and Stefan Cassadine was nothing at all like Steven Earl Johnson. This faux Eve is being written just like Blair (they even came out and admitted it in the script a few weeks back, for Hell’s sake!) and nothing at all like the original Eve Donovan from the early 90s. Ironically her little sister Theresa had much more in common with the real Eve. And with Theresa coming back later this year, it would be great to see her interact with the real Eve, but not anticipating any great connection between her and the impostor.

Sometimes a new actor IS a good fit for a recast. I’ll take some credit for GV being cast as Eric Brady, because I had been saying he would be right for the part for a year or so before they finally cast him. (The original Eric having moved on to prime time success on the show “Supernatural” a long time ago, of course) Good to see the folks at Corday Inc listened to the Devil that time. Hope they will now too. After all, I am a former star of the show myself, you know. (that whole Marlena thing from the 1990s)

Hey Sat…two choice…Sat or SatIN. LOL…just can’t bring myself to type your moniker!

I get what you’re saying. Kassie’s Eve is very reminiscent of Blair from OLTL. I thought it interesting when Brady said she went by several other names in her past when she married older men for their money. Are we supposed to think Eve IS Blair or was it a wink/wink to us ex OLTLers?

And you’re also correct that Greg’s Eric isn’t reminiscent of Lucky.

But what a lot of posters imply when they say Ron’s pets are the actors themselves; that he sacrifices vets on shows to bring in actors from his other series. I’m thinking the bottom line IS the bottom line. If he or any other show runner brings in an actor it’s because he/she thinks that actor will bring in viewers. When OLTL was canceled and the characters McBane, Kiki and Todd were brought over, along with some glances of Blair and Tea Delgado, many of us OLTL fans were thrilled that these characters weren’t lost. Made going from cold turkey to something-better-than-nothing. So I don’t see it as the writer/producer’s pets…or favored actors…just those that they think many viewers that stopped watching because they lost the characters or actors they loved might love seeeing them again and therefore up the ratings.

I do believe, however, that bringing vets from other shows shouldn’t be in exchange for changing the current soap or losing its vets. They need to be able to juggle characters/actors/stories all within budget constraints.

To clarify: when I said I liked seeing GH actors and “Kassie”/Blair…it doesn’t even matter which shows the actors appeared first. I just meant that for me, seeing actors I liked on one soap whose character has been missing in action or is from a canceled show, is a nice “familiar” feel. And, as a kudos to their acting, like with Roger/Franco…I don’t see Franco. I see Todd. And with Michael Easton, I no longer see McBain; I see Finn. But I still miss their alter egos…

And, much to my dismay, your Marlena comment was lost on me. Not familiar…but I have no doubt it was “diabolically” clever! 😉

it was widely speculated that Kristen was preggers from eric the priest… so let that happen.

dang it.. it’s disheartening.. to see Eric by the wayside… with dire Jenny Bear… sure makes one wish for the good ole days when Jenny Bear was in an upswing party all the time

I HOPE Ciera Alice gives Rafe the riot act.. and she just nails him every chance she gets… let’s see Hope daughter go all ballistic. already I don’t see much of a connection on Hope part… which is OK as this new Ciera is ON fantastic and loaded with ENERGY

And there you go again…..took the words right out of my mouth. I thought about a Rafe-baby. Remember the conversations he and Sami would have about having a baby? He’s always wanted one and Hope is way past her child-bearing years.
So, yes!!!! Anything goes to truncate the wishy-washy weird, sedate relationship between him and Hope.

My comment didn’t post, Satan….but, I hope events happen just the way you describe. Sami holding one baby: Rafe’s….and, Nicole holding another: Eric’s, as they waltz-in a stunned Salem.
