Thanks for adding that bit tracy. And Tag, I agree with all ya said.
The fanbase tends to take positions that someone is likable or unlikable, or whether they are a good person or scum, based on what acting jobs they take. Which is kinda extreme.
I'm positive that Richard and Dirk, and everyone else who acted in the old show don't really give a damn if one of their old castmates takes a job on the new series. Everytime I heard it come up, they are happy that one of their friends got some work.
The old cast are good hearted people. I like them. I respect them. If they get work, ANY work, I am happy for them.
Now back to the topic... Elvis, I liked what you wrote. You show some nice writing skills. Heck... I think the Moore show would benefit from listening to ya.
