Topic: Do you ever wonder if OLTL actors post on this messageboard?

Additional Comments: I've always been curious about this. There has to be at least one OLTL actor/writer/etc. who has heard of this site, and may even be a contributing member with a anonymous-sounding username. What does everybody else think?

That's funny you posted this because I've been wondering if the writers read the boards.

I've noticed that sometimes I'll see something on the show that I'd previously read about on the MB... an overdue explanation, etc. I figure they must check the boards out so they can see how well they're doing.

I can't imagine why not! It's free and immediate feedback. Of course, it's dependent on time, and most actors, writers, and producers know to take it with a grain of salt since some posters can be particularly nasty about actors' looks, personality traits, and other superficial things, but I would imagine that they are curious about how viewers feel about their characters and the show in general.

Some EPs have admitted to being very on top of viewer feedback, such as Paul Rauch and Frank Valentini. Both also watch the competition as much as their time allows. (Rauch claims to be familiar with every soap at all times). Others, such as Chris Goutman, Ken Corday, and Brad Bell, have publicly stated that they do not read any fan mail, online message boards, or watch any other soap.

A few years ago, I heard that Timothy Stickney,who played/plays RJ Gannon, either posted on this board or another, or maybe he was in a chat room. One of those, and I think it was pretty confirmed that it really was him.

He used to on AOL (don't know if he still is) as ClubIndigo. James dePaiva was LimeCherry. They both read the boards. Christine Toy Johnson also (she was, oh, a policewoman, gee I forgot the character!) It was nice to see them, occasionally. I think TDS is on facebook, too. eom/Jenny

I sure wish some of the writers would come here and read some of gallaghers ideas and steal them!

ICAM with your post ICS, but isn't the more important question to ask- Why aren't we all watching Desperate Housewives on ABC? (Sundays 9/8 Central)? I just LOVE that guy who plays the gay lawyer- he looks like a young Jim Garner!

Tuc/Bob? Yea, he's sooo cute. I love that show and have been watching from the start. Whether I'm watching Tuc on OLTL or DH, he's great! Awesome funny guy. eom L22

Years ago I had heard that Michael E Knight posted on the AMC Board.

I have no proof, but I'd bet my hat Scott Clifton posted on the GH board when he was on that show.

Message boards have occasionally had actors openly post on them before. GL's RN (Josh Lewis) used to post occasionally over there, for example. We've seen other message boards w/parents or other relatives posting.

Others have said that they've checked out message boards, w/mixed results. For the ones I've heard of, most don't do it a lot. They do it for awhile & then move on to something else. Others just don't bother w/them.

Actors are no more or less busy than anyone else. If they choose to spend down time/free time online that is their business. Lots of them have their own websites & blog, tweat & such.

Oh, don't be silly! Everybody at OLTL has more important things to do than go read a bunch of silly comments on a silly website where people say things like, "Natalie can't act" or, "Natalie's wardrobe sucks." (Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). Although I do think PhoenixTamer is pretty cool. Hey PT (winks) (Don't tell my husband)!
