Word from Brooklyn is that World Turns wants Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman to crossover their popular super-couple pairing, Reva and Josh, to their show. That sound you hear? Me screaming, "Run, Kim and Robert, run!"What do you all think?

Whoa! I don't know. I don't want them to lose out on an opportunity for work, but I would be weary of going to ATWT if I was any soap star. Before GL
was cancelled, lots of rumors about ATWT being cancelled. Of course, there would be fresh meat in Oakdale for "Jeva" to leave each other over! lol

I don't watch ATWT... but I like KZ and RN and I'd try to pick up on it if they went over. I catch my ABC soaps on soap net anyway so I'm pretty
sure I wouldn't miss any soaps if I checked it out. I try not to ever say never b/c you just don't know what will or won't work out. I mean it
might make sense for Reva to decide she needs a fresh start after all I have read may be going down soon, and I can't imagine Josh wouldn't follow
right behind her.

I really would love to see RN's Josh in Oakdale, and KZ's Reva too, for that matter - but not as a couple, super or otherwise.
I can imagine what a foil Josh would make to the awful, awful men they have going in Oakdale right now (with the exception of the present version of Craig Montgomery, I loathe and detest all of them, pretty much, almost). I would love to see Carly Tenney Snyder fall for Josh's charming ways, and create a new 'super-couple' who can be handily named 'Joly.' I can imagine how wonderful a change Reva will make in Oakdale, in her own right. I would love to see her be a long-lost niece of Lucinda Walsh, and the two sassy ladies can really light up the screen. She can be such a wonderful addition! NOT as a couple, for I never want to see the pairing of Jeva ever happen again. The only times I have ever liked Reva is when she is not in Jeva. When she is a part of Jeva, I have come to dislike, detest and loathe Reva. She is adorable to me when she is someone in her own right, with any man other than Josh!

I like Kim a lot, but I don't know if I would follow her to ATWT. If Lucinda is still there, wouldn't that be a bit much to have two very strong older
characters on one show? I won't follow RN unless he is playing another character that I like. I have always disliked Josh, as he was too wishy washy.

I'd follow Kim Zimmer anywhere, but I don't even like Jeva on GL. Can't imagine it being any different on ATWT. I hope if Kim goes to another soap, she won't have the restraints of being half of a supercouple follow her.

If Lucinda is still there, wouldn't that be a bit much to have two very strong older characters on one show?Very different generations of women, though. Lucinda is a lot older than Reva. Life experiences are varied, but very different as well. Each can teach the other a lot of stuff and each can a learn a lot from the other too. I think that they can work very well together because they are both strong characters. I think in fiction (as in real life) when a strong character has no other strong character for interaction, the stories wither and die. I will watch Robert Newman even if he played Billy Mays in a Billy Mays bio-pic. The hard-working Billy Mays was certainly at the very edge of my limit of tolerance for watching on screen ... I hope if Kim goes to another soap, she won't have the restraints of being half of a supercouple follow her.May it be so! I wish the same also for Robert.

Well I like Jeva...but I'm flexible to each his own my friends... after all variety is the spice of life... that being said I think they work well together
and could even pull off being coupled together as a totally different 'couple'. I know that sounds a bit strange, I just think it's the writer in
me I pull apart characters on request all the time and recreate them, so for me at least it would probably fly. It would almost be like watching them in a
movie or a play outside of GL. I enjoy RN and KZ together as well as apart and will always be a fan of both of them. I know no matter what they chose I will
follow them both and enjoy what each decides to do. They are both very, very talented.

I could really enjoy them as a different couple, I think. 'Jeva' - no. Never again, though I did before Reva went over that bridge to nowhere.

If they do they will just be out of work in another year. Its already been rumored that if ATWT doesnt get a certain Neilson rating next year CBS throws them
away just like GL. Money hungry...(**&T^^&(_.....

Crossing them over would probably bring a lot of GL viewers to ATWT and possibly help their ratings... also it is a way to keep a little of the GL history on
the air and provide possibilities of adding other GL characters to the mix!

I'd be fine with that....I'd watch both of them read the phone book together tho...so..LOL.

I wonder. It seems to me that a lot of their "supercouple" status was earned at an earlier time. I know that sounds really bad, but would they be
able to "sell" the supercouple to people who haven't known them all this time as we have? We still think of them as HOT because they are, but
will new viewers see them this way?

I don't think viewers would have trouble seeing them as attractive... they do good work... apart as well as together... that's easy to recognize. JMO
of course.

I don't think Josh and Reva are HOT at all and never have been to me. I always loved her with someone else and I especially loved her with Jeffrey. Josh
has always been sanctimonious and judgemental, in my opinion.

I never could understand what Reva saw in Josh, other than an old standby love. She was always the one who wanted excitement in her life and Josh just
didn't provide that at all. He was just there to pick up the pieces for Reva when her latest affair went off the rails. They have always just been that
couple that gets back together every once in a while, until Reva gets restless again. As it stands now, he appears to be ready to do that duty again......

I'd rather see ATWT clean up its act and write for all of its wonderful existing characters. Frankly, after being a faithful viewer of ATWT since I was a
wee babe, I gave up on it a few years ago. P&G has ruined it just like they did GL. laura

I'm on board! I want Jeva back together so I'll take them any way I can!

I would follow those two anywhere..those two have the best chemistry of any couple that I have ever seen..have been watching them since I was 5 years old..I
would not mind seeing them as another couple..but loved the whole craziness between Jeva..I miss the fantasy of soaps..seems like everyone is wanting reality
these days, and that is what's killing soaps..we want fantasy NOT reality..this is just my opinion..Jeva is a big part of the History Guiding Light.and I
will miss them..

I just wish ATWT would use the wonderful stars they have instead of bringing in more strangers.
Lisa could have a new romance, Lucinda,Susan. Give Them one new man to fight over like they used to do. They may be older,but they aren't DEAD yet! |
