Subject: I think this is what happened
In reply to: TerriL 's message, "Dan - The OLTL brass are so misinformed" on 15:32:00 08/24/06 Thu

Folks, I think this is what happened.....Heather Tom's contract from what I understand expires November 2006.....she's probably not sticking around.........ABC brass had to say to themselves....ok......is it worth it keeping Kevin around without Kelly? According to the focus groups, "no." Maybe I my information is incorrect, but I have a feeling that's what happened.

Unfortunately, major corporations involved in entertainment pay close attention to focus groups. ABC fired Star Jones for the very same reason, and Tom Cruise lost his contract with Paramount because of poor public opinion.

I think Dan should take it as a compliment that people aren't thrilled with his character. It's a true testament to what a good actor Dan is. Not only is he a great actor, he is sexy and hot as hell!!! Not many guys fall into both categories. Most "hot guys" can't act, or good actors aren't that "hot."

Kevin was never a nice guy like John, or Antonio. How could anyone like a guy who wanted to be with his cousin's wife, treated his wife like dirt when she always tried to be supportive, used his son as a pawn for political gain, and ended up an alcoholic because he couldn't deal with his problems. The focus group results should come of no suprise to anyone.


Dan you will be missed. Before they fired you, they should have tried to redeem your character somehow, then did a test with a focus group. ABC was far too rash to let you go before your contract is up.

You're the best,

Debby
