Rumours From RATSA

I didn't write this; this was at a message board. Hence the quotes.

"First things first: Kale Browne was let go for one very simple reason. There
was a certain suit who did not like him on a personal level. Kale should have
known (and prob did) he was a goner the minute that Jill Phelps headed west.
The resentment that certain actors felt towards Kale because if his inordinate
amount of airtime when he joined OL had little or nothing to do with his
dismissal. Simple as that.

"Tomlin has his favorites on OL and who they are will become VERY apparent in
the coming months. He is extremely fond of many of the characters that were
first introduced in the early/mid 1990's...such as Todd, Nora, RJ, and Blair.
He absolutely adores Hillary Smith and Roger Howarth, so expect to see a lot of
them on your screens.

"He has no plans to reunite Sam and Nora. Lau (the new Sam Rappaport) is being
brought on for a 30-40 something beauty who is currently in the midst of
romantic woes. There are only a couple of choices on that one-figure it out.

"Tomlin has indeed spoken with Florencia Lozano about bringing back the
character of Tea Delgado. Lozano is extremely gun shy about a return, though;
she wasn't especially happy about her last year or so at OL and wants to know
what would be in store for her storyline-wise. He's been speaking with Chris
and Lorraine on storyline ideas for Tea. If the talks work out, expect to see
Tea back in Llanview come November, and expect to see some of her family join
the canvas as well as Tomlin very much wants to reintroduce some ethnicity to
the show.

"Tomlin, as of right now, is going with the Todd and Blair pairing and expect
to see them in each other's story and working things out for the next few
months. If Lozano returns, I have no idea how that will impact Todd/Blair.
Sorry.

"Tim Gibbs' mouth got him into trouble with that comment about being ready to
move on. A certain suit who didn't care for Gibbs to begin with decided to take
him up on his offer (this happens to be the same suit who care for Browne and
said suit also doesn't care for Jill Phelps, either, but he can't do anything
about that last one).

"Tomlin is considering a Bo and Nora reunion (he really liked these two and
directed many of their episodes when he was a director as OL), but is meeting
with some resistance on that one from actors and suits alike. He does have the
power to overide the actors and the suits would more than likley let him go
ahead with this pairing. It's just a matter of if he feels the audience still
cares enough about these two.

"Chamarro is definitely outta here. The reason for Sophia's exit will come as a
surpise.

"There's also about an 80% that Darlene Vogel will be leaving in May. She
hasn't caught on with the audience. If she fails to pull through during her
upcoming storyline material, she's a goner.

"Tomlin and the writers do read the mail. Your letters do count with this
regime. So, if there's somthing you want to see (or not to see) I suggest
dropping a line."

...So far it all sounds decent to me except the bit about Sophia. Really hope
she's not a goner.
