I think bringing back Patrick would be great for Marty and Cole’s storylines. I liked John/Marty, but didn’t “love” them, and never liked John/Blair. I was a John/Natalie fan so wouldn’t be mad if they reunited. John seems to be becoming that guy that wants to save his woman and once he does, he moves on.

Love John/Brody working together on the Mitch stuff. I see a real partnership forming there that can go a long way on the show.

I have seen very little of TK’s chemistry with SH on OLTL, because I’m a newer viewer. What I have seen came from old clips on YouTube, and it wasn’t a lot. I can assume, however, that chemistry would come very naturally to TK and SH!

Two things that would be nice if Patrick came back: 1. Cole would get his dad back, but with tension because his father has missed so much. 2. More chemistry or storyline for Marty? I need to know why I should watch her, and I haven’t been seeing it at all since the court scenes.

I have enjoyed watching Zach on AMC.

Still, I worry who OLTL would have to lose in order to add more cast members. Seems like they’re going to end up with a few contract actors and lots of recurring players.

Soaps are heading back in the right direction by bringing back old favorites though! The execs on shows that are deciding to do that are making good decisions, IMO.

Hi Jen,

I would like Thorsten Kaye to return as Patrick because of three things: the history between the two characters, the chemistry between the two actors and I love TK! I really like him as Zach on AMC and am sorry that he will not be on there anymore.
But AMC’s loss – I hope – will be OLTL’s gain.
Thanks for posting,
Michele

I love Brody.

I’m confused about Susan Haskell (Marty). She won an Emmy for OLTL, yet she is never on the show? I wouldn’t get excited about a Patrick return (I think there are a small fraction of people who would) but it would be interesting to see what they did with him.

With budget issues and cutting people loose, there are other people I’d like to see back on the canvas before Patrick. But that’s just me. *wink*
