A FANTASTIC POST by DIVADAISY

WEll, you all know where I am with one specific site that some of us frequent or used to....but in my searches every day, I do come up with stuff...that leads me back there.

This one is a MUST READ! Thanks to divadaisy!!!

"Ultimately, the only thing that matters to me is how I feel. And RH is, was, and always will be the only Todd Manning for me--no matter how good or bad the writing for him, no matter whether the current crop of show runners are being true to the original conception of the character or not. I don't care how good an actor TSJ is or isn't. I don't care how attractive he is or how much time he's put into the role. I don't care if he's up for anything the show throws at him while RH might have balked at doing it. I don't care if he has chemistry with every cast member from here to Eterna and back again. I don't care if he is beloved by all because he's just a super, super special guy. All of that may be absolutely true. I don't know and I don't even care enough to dispute it. He will just never be Todd for me.

It's completely and utterly selfish. I know that and I willingly own it and accept it. I realize TSJ has many fans who feel exactly the same way about their guy. But for me, TSJ will always be a Todd, not the Todd. He'll never be the one who touches my heart. He'll never be the one i agonize over in the most ridiculous ways (like this). So, whatever has to be done, whatever lives must be altered, history must be reformed, or facts must be fabricated to bring RH back as the one and only Todd Manning, I will accept it all. If the Llanview universe must be turned upside down to make it happen, then make it so. I think RB said it best...cats and dogs living together...in all kinds of sin. Time travel. Giant evil marshmallow sailors. Dear god, just let it be so."
