Pilar, just to probe a bit further-are you saying your understanding is that once RH's status is known, the picture about if/how long FL is back is clear? I've felt all along that without a Todd on canvas there wouldn't be a T�a either. It's sad because FL is so talented and the character is ripe for exporation separately, but she's seen as part of a supercouple. That's not to say that once on canvas T�a can't/won't be explored, just that Todd seems to be the impetus to bringing her back. -- At The Bayberry

In reply to: Pilar 's message, "Debbie, I take ANY rumor w/huge grain of salt these days so not offended question away! But my response may NOT be what you & Tea fans want to hear but here goes... Tea's character & her ties to Llanview weren't well-developed on their own outside of Todd, that sucks she deserved better but that�s reality. W/out Todd onscreen, Tea return just isn't something TPTB seem interested in pursuing." on 14:59:11 03/09/01 Fri

Debbie, take w/HUGE grain of salt, FL/Tea news hinges on FIRST learning what Roger decides, yes. New hwers are working on May sweeps already, need to know whether to pen Todd exit or not! Also, FL�s been hesitant to return to soaps, she may choose to pursue theater work during strike instead of being tied so closely aligned w/a here today gone tomorrow actor. Kassie will be at OLTL until they boot her out, Roger or no Roger. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:16:42 03/09/01 Fri
- btw, GT has his plate full w/new HW, strike looming, exiting characters right & left, working on getting a Dorian back on screen... amidst that he had to negotiate a commitment from LEADING star, Roger, before making decisions for Todd�s future and possibly Tea�s, too. I think Roger HAS decided to extend, & news is about to leak. It�s stay tuned until that news hits FIRST, folks. (NT) -- Pilar, 16:23:51 03/09/01 Fri
- One more question, Pilar, LOL. Is it your impression that if RH leaves, FL would only return for exit, or is it conceivable that May sweeps would begin a story? I guess I'm asking if you're thinking is that FL would only come back short term. I actually think it would be smart for both actors to sign on for a short stint, one that ends before pilot season starts up again. And, if the strike is still on when time is up, they have work if they so choose. (NT) -- Nic, 19:26:14 03/09/01 Fri
  - Don�t have answers to your questions, wish I did, but GT has proven quite unpredictable in his decisions. W/Jilly, it was a given Tea mystery was written on purpose to allow easy Roger exit w/FL agreeing to return favor. I don�t know if FL is interested in any long-term commitment or not, only know Roger�s numerous outclauses & recent extension speak for themselves, he�s not willing yet to commit to OLTL for any lengthy stay. Makes it hard on GT when he�s showcasing Todd as STAR. (NT) -- Pilar, 06:04:15 03/10/01 Sat
    - Nic, strike complicates decisions further. However, from what I understand theater isn�t really that effected by strike so actors like FL have that options. Some rumors Roger was putting out feelers for theatre work, like in late 98 w/LIW� wild idea FL & RH in a play, stranger things have happened! LOL! Bottom line, Nic, I don�t know what will happen w/FL, as of now I heard Roger extended but I don�t trust RH/OLTL leaks much these, too much conflicting info out there. (NT) -- Pilar, 06:18:46 03/10/01 Sat
      - Thanks, Pilar! As long as there's a good possibility she'll be back- and I do think so, based on what you've shared- I'll be patient, LOL. I do think the strike is going to impact a lot of decisions right now, and I'm wondering if it wasn't for the uncertainty of it, would RH have extended? If he did extend another few months, he really misses little if there isn't a strike. Come the fall he can leave & prepare for pilot season. And, if the strike does happen, hey, he has a paycheck.
