"Days of Our Lives" Canceled?
- Thread starter Danja
- Start date
How about the actor who played the mad Centauri emperor on Babylon 5? Wortham Krimmer played an upstanding minister on One Life to Live, and the difference between his B5 character and Andrew Carpenter on OLTL was night and day.
Constance Towers (Helena Cassadine) had a guest part on Deep Space Nine, as one of a group of ambassadors that Julian Bashir was ordered to show around and generally babysit.
The actor on Stargate who is a psychiatrist on GH is one I spotted by accident. The original Stargate series is on at 4 am weekdays here, and Stargate Atlantis is on at 5 am. I accidentally caught a few minutes of the latter show and realized, "Hey, that's Alexis Davis' psychiatrist boyfriend!". He has a distinctive voice.
By that point I'd basically washed my hands of OLTL, despite watching it steadily since 1988 or 1989 (whatever year it was that Michael Grande stole Brenda's baby; I never did understand how Gabrielle Medina was involved in that). I liked David Vickers, but the lengths they went to in order to connect him with one of the older generation of men on the show was just ridiculous.
But most people say "What's normal?" since both words are used synonymously.
I think (a lot of people) in general like someone who isn't like them because they're more interesting and different but they can still find something to relate to and/or find interesting or compelling despite not being the same. But that depends more on scripting and acting, how are generic stick figures interesting? Dr McCoy, Spock, and Kirk are definitely not every day folks... neither are Vila, Roj, and Avon. Or Diana, Tom, and Harvey. It's almost always main groups of three, no matter how little it's emphasized or how close the fourth character is to the remaining three... 
I have a question. Have soaps always cared so little about their history and continuity?
Bad guy fakes his death eight times and every time he returns, they can't believe it. People die, there is a body which means organ donation and autopsy and embalming and burial, but then they magically come back to life with no plausible explanation given later on. Lanky character who gets by on his wits is recast with a younger muscular actor and suddenly that character is a bad ass. Character doesn't know his past, DNA test proves he's part of Family A, writers decide to make him part of Family B instead and now they say Family A adopted him... but what about the DNA test? And of course the big one, characters who are 12 one day and 30 the next.
Meanwhile, a lot of people on this board lose their minds if a Star Trek character has the wrong rank on the uniform.

Yes, yes! That name definitely rings a bell! James Stenbeck!
You can always find half a dozen labs with a crooked employee who will fake a DNA test for whatever reasons.
There's a character on GH who's had numerous DNA tests lately (Sasha), and at least one was overseen by a crooked lab manager (Brad, who did it because Liesl is blackmailing him). I think the writers are eventually going to have Sasha really be Nina's daughter, even though the DNA that was supposedly Sasha's was really taken from Nina's mother's corpse at her funeral.
I don't know if this counts but I'm pretty certain I saw her in a non-speaking role in a TNG episode sitting at Wesley's old station - this would have been after Wesley was written out of the show. She also played a journalist in the 'Thunderbirds' film Jonathan Frakes directed. And a 3rd season 'Lois & Clark' episode with her husband.
I've seen every TNG episode at least twice, and have no recollection of Genie Francis on that show, whether speaking or not.
I think they're leaning towards another current character being Nina's daughter, but I sure as fuck hope it isn't Nelle. I'd like for Valentin to send Nelle on a boat trip.
Rumors keep saying Sasha could be Liesl's daughter. She looks a lot like Britt, which is to say gorgeous.
And I can't believe I forgot this connection. Valentin Cassadine is played by James Patrick Stuart. Forgetting the similarity to another popular name, JPS played the second version of Doctor Zee on BSG1980.

He was also the big bad for the awful Leviathan season of Supernatural. Was surprised to see him end up on a soap afterward, but work is work.
There will be several digital-only episodes forthcoming. apparently, this was done with several other soaps as they were canceled as well.

The Hulu versions of AMC & OLTL went nowhere. What makes them think this will work.
Though to be fair, OLTL on Hulu had such a different vibe to it, plus a lot of characters were missing, it didn't feel like the same show.

"Hello, Barbara." I remember him returning I think he was hiding in a Monastery, and suddenly he is just behind her and those words so creepily, and with just a hint of the love he had for her. One time, when he was trying to take his son, Paul, from her, she's just walking about her penthouse at night, in her night gown, and he just steps out of the shadows that anyone's home has at night with a frightening 'Hello, Barbara."
The phoenix of Oakdale. It's a shame the actor who played him, Anthony Herrera, died. But not before taunting Barbara in her dreams.

I haven't been an avid watcher since "Cruise of Deception," but the quality declined drastically after that, and once Bo left the show, I figured it was in its final, er, days.
Perry Mason was Gardner's love letter to the legal profession (The books are full of procedural minutiae that would have most lawyers swooning. The producers and writers of the TV show either had law degrees or they attended law school.)
Deadline is also reporting that the show has been renewed.
