I hope he returns. That would make things perfect!

Me too.

Amen!

I must co-sign this as well. I never cared for Todd until TSJ entered the role. TSJ brought a depth and complexity to the role that was obviously lacking. Just by watching TSJ and his portrayal of Todd, I gained an appreciation for the craft of acting that I never had before.

You are probably an RH fan, so you likely don’t understand what we are referring to when discussing TSJ’s approach to the role. I have noticed that some people get TSJ’s approach to acting and others just don’t. All I can say that I watched the role of Todd from the beginning and never cared about the character until after TSJ started playing Todd. I didn’t even watch TSJ’s performance the first few years he played the role because that was how irrelevant the character of Todd was to me. It wasn’t until some fans started talking about TSJ’s chemistry with REG that I decided to watch him and I immediately noticed a difference in how he played the role of Todd. For the first time ever, I was interested in Todd’s storylines because TSJ’s portrayal allowed me to relate to the character in a way that I never could when RH played the role. I have nothing against RH personally, I just don’t care for rapists and don’t find them interesting or entertaining. So the fact that I’m even here talking about this character is solely because of TSJ’s performance. It really spoke to me. You are free to disagree with me but that doesn’t change the truth of my experience.

I watched Both RH and TSJ play Todd Manning and I am sorry but the real Todd is not RH it is TSJ. RH’s Todd was nothing but a revenge driven egomaniac with no dimensions. All he ever saw was him, the world revolved around him, there is no one else on the planet but him Oh pitty me Crud. When TSJ took over the role of Todd, you got to see what made Todd tick, you got to see all the layers that Todd Manning has, you got to see his vulnerability etc. Todd went threw life changing things. Todd got kicked in the teeth by Karma when Margaret walked in to his life, that rape really changed Todd and the way he saw and dealt with YUCKY because he finally understood what him and his frat brothers took from her that Spring night. Todd was 2 seconds from death thanks to Spencer Truman that also changed Todd, Todd would die for his kids and grandkids, RH’s Todd Sells them…….Sorry But RH is not even in the parking lot of the ball park TSJ is in and Sorry but TSJ is Todd Manning IMHO!

FYI, Roger didn’t just do daytime. He was on Dawson’s Creek, a primetime show back then, and had his own show called Prey. See, you don’t even know the actor, so how can I trust that you know what you’re talking about?
I assume the majority of the people who seem to think TSJ is Todd (despite the fact that even the show said he ISN’T and never was) either did not watch or remember the character of Todd prior to 2003. Because from I can tell, most of us that did watch, are in the RH camp. Seriously, the stories are all on YouTube, and I beg you to go back and watch them. The scenes with him apologizing to Marty, and even terrorizing Nora at the cottage….utter brilliance. Do not judge based on the character now. Ron C does not know this character, and has changed him quite a bit from the pre-2003 days (especially on GH). And remember one thing. Todd Manning was originally supposed to be “Frat Boy #1” for ONE story – the rape. After that, the character would have been history…but RH’s huge fan base pleaded with the show to keep him. They did, otherwise there never would’ve been a “Victor Lord Jr.” for TSJ to play.

Me too and I think it will be revealed that he is indeed Todd Manning!

I meant to say last scene, and wouldnt he have to come back to do that short scene? lol Even if not Trevor, id like to see Victor return. Thanks 4 reply.

I read a while ago where he said he didn’t want to return to soap operas, that it hurt his career some how. However, I truly believe that if he were asked, he would, at least to finish up the storyline. I just can’t think of how they’d write him out again if he doesn’t want to stay. I don’t want Victor and Tea to break up, and I don’t want him to die again. lol

Hey Holly,
He said that the he did not like the hectic scheduling of doing a soap for a Network ((They barely get any time off)). But with the 5 week on 5 week off scheduling I think TSJ will really like as it still allows him to do other projects…..I think he is coming back to reprise the Role of Todd Manning…..

I agree Christine. I feel some of the other rudeness has rubbed off on me and i ended up doing the same. And im working to change that. We can agree and disagree without taking it too far. And the same goes for our soaps. They dont have to trash talk and actors dont have to prostitue themselves by going even a little farther in their already hot enough sex scenes just to entertain us. There is other ways to be groundbreaking if needed. Our families used to spend more time together and we keep finding more and more ways to pull them apart. Its bad enough Hollywood segregated our families over the last forty years with a rating system because we need to hear cussing or see a little t&a. And now they are doing it with our tv shows and internet. That stuff isnt called obscene for nothing. There is nothing wrong with the human body but to use it for entertainment just to make a buck is wrong. Sex sells they say and im sure many prostitutes will agree with them but if prostitution is wrong so is Hollywood for selling it too. And if theyr going to show it then dont show just the good side show the bad side as well if they want to be real. Show all cases of unwanted pregnancy,incest, child molestation and pornography, human trafficking, STDs and dont 4get aids is still out there. What bugs me is some days people will ask whats wrong with todays generation? We dont teach morals, responsibilty, or respect for each other. We teach our kids today how to be rude and vulgar instead. I feel sorry for the next generation and dont even want to think what their life will be like. Call me old fashion but ill take that title any day over what a lot of this generation has been calling each other.

Yes, Joliefan forever, you may have a beef with some other posters, but to me, at least, resorting to foul language regarding a TV show makes you appear uneducated and immature. I am not saying that you are, but I usually do not bother with people who do that and especially cannot formulate sentences. I feel if you have something to say, that present it in a manner that is legible and do not make everything like it is a text message.

I also know there are two sides to every story. I was not taking sides and I am sure you have valid points. It was just about the “effen” and the “OMFG” that I took offense to. Not to mention that you outright told the person to shut up.

These things can get out of control if you let them and what is it worth really? I guess this is how road rage gets started. It doesn’t seem like people WANT to listen to what others have to say unless they agree.

I see the post by “Margie” and then the post made by “su0000” below it. I use this as an example because he/she appeared to be joking around. At least for me when I leave a 🙂 it is to show that I am not hear to start trouble. I am having fun.

Honestly, Joliefan forever, I have nothing against you as a person. 🙂 I am just hoping that we could all listen to what everyone has to say without attacking and being so aggressive.

“When it is called for”

When is a swear word ever really “called for”? You say it should be able to be used on an adult website and I think, that’s exactly why it shouldn’t be used. I am more impressed with points made by people who don’t need profanity to make them.

What are you talking about, Joliefan? I didnt responsed to your comments…i responded to others here. Respect me, and ill respect you!

Well Jim I did not respond to you so I guess you are wrong!

No problem Jim. I know I hate when that happens cause it does make it seem like the person is responding to you instead of responding to the topic LOL

Uh, yeah. I do. That is why I phrased it the way I did.

I find the whole thread funny because Mr. St. John never really says anything when interviewed, at least he does not answer the burning questions.

And you are definitely barking up the wrong tree if you think I thought Steve Burton was a liar. I have always said the man was to do what was right for him and his family only and he did not have to answer to ANYONE.

I agree, Joliefan forever. He is good at doing that. Unfortunately, too much saying “no” all the time when the answer is really “yes” makes people doubt him, which is okay. I mean we are talking about a JOB on a TV SHOW, not something that has to do with breaking the law or something much more substantial. 🙂

Ditto!!!! It really is not that hard, to Undo RC’s Crud…….RC left so many holes in that Story line as he did not follow the history of Todd and what exactly happened after Todd was left for Dead by Mitch’s goons, Which is how he came back looking like Walker & that had NOTHING to do with Irene she is not the one that came up with the idea Todd did, He paid Walker for his likeness and Family history in order to get revenge on Mitch and keep his family safe, If Mitch had found out that Todd was alive he would have gone after Blair and the kids…….I think Irene and Mitch had an affair and RH is their son whom they used to take over Todd’s life, Irene used her Rogue CIA agent to gather any and All info on Todd and Mitch Brainwashed his son with the info and Irene put her son threw reconstructive surgery Irene knowing about the face change Todd had done she made him look like Todd did in college including the scar, The first DNA test was fixed by Allison, And the second test Irene had Allison switch RH’s Hair sample with hair from Todd that Irene had (She cut a lock of his hair before sending him off to Peter Manning). Mitch sent Walker to Kill Todd so his son could completely take over his life and no one would be the wiser, That is why Todd was so shocked when he saw the person at his house. RH Vic Jr gave Walker the gun he stole from Dorians safe, Walker and Todd struggle over the gun and Walker is Shot, When Todd leaves to get help he is ambushed by Vic Jr whom was waiting outside for Walker and knocked out Todd, went in the house and saw Walker dying on the floor and left him there to die (while Vic Jr takes Todd to Allison and tells her to keep him there until she hears from his father Mitch) and that is who Tea sees when she comes home and that is who is buried in Todds Grave and that is why the last words spoken were “Not everything is as it seems…….” JMO
