John-Paul Lavoisier (Rex) put his character's P.I. skills down in light of Stacy's all-consuming Sting. He called Rex stupid and inept in all kinds of ways while talking to Michael Fairman about mostly upcoming storyline and past character actions. Lavoisier lit up inside when Fairman touched on his last SSW Colegate Triple Play game-hosting. Lavoisier loved being a game show host and it showed. He envisioned an idyllic life as one. "I would have done nothing but the Colgate Triple Play that weekend. I would have done 12 a day and lived in that theatre the whole time, like Bob Guiney lived in his theatre. It was so much fun, and the fans were great. I could have kept going and I throw my voice out every year! For some reason, I donÕt get used to the fact that I am micÕd. I keep thinking I have to reach the back of my house with my formal voice. Like Deal or No Deal. If Howie Mandel's ever sick I would fill in, in a minute."
A lot of his OLTL colleagues, who shall go unnamed, have copped to using the cab system while working and playing in Manhattan. Not Hawaii local Jason Tam (Markko). He takes the subway as much as he can with his monthly pass. "Those cross-town buses have saved my life [laughs]! [ABC Soaps in Depth, July 13, 2009]" Being from Hawaii, Tam's experience with a faster-paced Manhattan has been overwhelming; it's an exercise in complete dichotomies. But he's taken to the city well, adjusting to the cold change of seasons from summer into fall and winter, learning to adjust to Times Square crowds and finding quiet respite in a certain upper-northwest part of Central Park where there's still fireflies at dusk.
Sounds like a cliche, but it's true. Crystal Hunt (Stacy) has nothing to do with her villainess alter-ego. The only remote personality trait that the two might share is if someone goes after a loved one. "That's when you'll see the stern side of me come out [ABC Soaps in Depth, July 13, 2009]."
Patricia Mauceri has been replaced by Saundra Santiago (ex-Isobella Santi) as Carlotta Vega, as of June 26.
Michael Lowry (ex-Jake, AMC) appears on a recurring basis in an as-yet-unnamed role.
Nicholas Rodrequiz comes from Broadway's Tarzan and will tackle a plot device character named Nick, as of August 14. Nick will interact with Fish and Kyle.
Gossip for the week of 29-Jun-2009
Word on the street is that Patricia Mauceri (Carlotta) wouldn't play her part (however small) in an upcoming gay Fish/Kyle love story for the summer. Allegedly, Carlotta's pro-gay beliefs conflicted with Mauceri's own beliefs, but there's surely more to the story, considering Mauceri's previous work in the gay-themed film I Think I Do (1997) starring Alexis Arquette and Tuc Watkins (David).
Gina Tognoni's (Dinah, GL) recent actions -- not signing an extension until GL's September 18th cancellation date -- have tongues wagging that she did this because she will return to OLTL as Kelly soon.
Nicholas Rodrequiz appears later this summer to complete a gay love triangle with Kyle and Fish. It's short-term.
