TED KING QUOTABLES
I find people to be sexy when they don't even know it, when there's no arrogance about it ... and that's Ted. He's so professional, he's smart and he's kind. He has a goofy side that a lot of people may not know about, and I find that very sexy. -- Tamara Braun (SOD 2003)

WANTED: TED KING
THE TED KING PORTAL is looking for MPEG quality clips from Ted's time on the soap operas GENERAL HOSPITAL as both Lorenzo and Luis Alcazar. Also looking for clips of Ted's time on the soap opera's LOVING and THE CITY as Danny Roberts. The reason for needing MPEG quality is due to the ability to get better quality screencaps from the source. Lesser quality tends to depixelate and it's difficult to get good captures from them. If you have any of these things, please email me at WANTED TED KING.

TED KING PORTAL II SITE NEWS
Hi. I know there hasn't been any updates for a while. I also know that I don't have Ted's last couple of episodes of PRISON BREAK up in either the gallery or THE PORTAL MEDIA SITE, and for that, I'm sorry. I just have been concentrating on my TAMARA OBSCURA site Hurley at EVE has folded her site after six years and given me the lion's share of her content. I've been spending the time trying to take stock of everything and get it up at the gallery at TO. When that is done, I'm planning on doing a complete overhaul of THE PORTAL with new banners and layout. I'm also hoping to get the other sections up...but slowly, If anyone has any information about Ted that I can use for the biography section, please feel free to pass it onto me at: TED KING BIO INFO. Please include a source when providing your information.
Thanks for understanding and don't loose hope. This site will be together soon.
More news of Ted's iminent return to the role of Lorenzo Alcazar to GENERAL HOSPITAL. On the heels of the departure of Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing) comes news that Ted has been spotted in the building, spurring rumors of his return. Soap Central has the article here:
Is Ted King returning to General Hospital
My own personal opinion: I think Ted would be nutty to return. With Rick Hearst being dropped down to recurring considering his tenure then eventual leaving (he's since signed with The Bold and the Beautiful), and that Ric Lansing was never allowed a storyline outside of being Sonny's brother, I'm reminded of something Ted said in one of his exit interviews with Soap Opera Weekly:
"I don't think so, to be honest with you. I really don't. Because there have been times where there's a storyline there for a couple of months, something different, and they it always goes back to my role being opposite Sonny. There's never an opportunity for my character to just go off and set up his own thing in Port Charles. Sonny doesn't have to be an issue, but he always is. And really, what's the reason? Sonny didn't kill his brother (Luis Alcazar), Sonny didn't kill his son (Diego), and Sonny didn't kill his niece (Sage). He lost three people in this town, and Sonny didn't kill any of them. Yet he's always angry at Sonny. It doesn't make any sense to me. At some point, I've got to go.... I had to take a long, hard look at what I'm doing on the show, and I did. I need to get out. This is not making me happy."
I think the operative word in all of this is Sonny. Would Lorenzo actually be allowed a story outside of Sonny and Jason? Likely not. Given that Jason carried out the hit on Lorenzo at Sonny's insistence, it's more than likely Lorenzo would come back with a huge chip on his shoulder for Sonny and Jason, hence, back into the fire. Considering too that Ted just came off a successful run on PRISON BREAK, I seriously doubt that GENERAL HOSPITAL is the only offer Ted's received. Consideration #2, that Robert Guza Jr. is incapable of crafting an intricate story not including Jason or Sonny and that he as well as Jill Farren Phelps, and Brian "BS" Frons give the hook to get the actor to sign/re-sign, then lie and do the turnabout (can anyone say Groundbreaking Lesbian Love Story), I'd pretty much say the writing in on the wall way before Ted would be signing on the dotted line.
The above is solely my take on the current state of affairs on daytime television and bear no relation to Ted or any of his decisions.
This one gets filed in the uncategorized because I'm not sure about it. According to many sources on the internet, Ted's going to be returning to GENERAL HOSPITAL this summer. This was on Dayitme Confidential's spec page. According to other rumors I'm hearing about this, it says that Alcazar will return and shoot Jake, Jason's son by Liz in cold blood. I highly doubt Ted would sign back up to do this storyline. With Alcazar's history with children, the child he delivered at Kelly's, the birth of Morgan, and Lila's birth.... I seriously doubt the Alcazar we know and love would do this.
On another note, I'm sorry that I haven't had up the last episode of PRISON BREAK, but I've been very busy of late and just haven't had the time to do so. When I get them done, they'll be here. Again, so sorry.
TED KING PORTAL II "PRISON BREAK: E4X20 COWBOYS & INDIANS" — SCREENCAPS & MEDIA
Looks like PRISON BREAK is winding down to a thrilling finale. Everyone is in deep doo-doo. Christina and Downey have Lincoln (Dominic Purcell) and Michael (Wentworth Miller) has to choose between saving Linc, or Sara (Sarah Wayne Callies.) and their baby. Momma is really amping up the tension, and to think I boned up for Friday's episode by watching the delightful Kathleen Quinlan in the Ron Howard film APOLLO 13 where she played Marilyn Lovell, wife of astronaut Jim Lovell (played in the film by Tom Hanks.) It does appear there is only the two parter left to the series. Funny, because IMDB has two more episodes for June. One is called The Old Ball And Chain and Free, both to air on 02 June 2009. My apologies to Sarah for any ill feelings she might be feeling toward me, but I'm only going by what I read. IF these are to be the final episodes, not sure if Ted will be in them.
A word about images on this site. Though they don't belong to me, I have tagged them as coming from this website. Why? I've noticed them being taken and others taking credit for my work. I don't mind you taking them, however, all I ask is that you credit this site as the place where you got them. It takes up to one hour to screencap an average episode, and though it may not seem like much work, it is. Please don't make me have to make the gallery private, or have to put some kind of a watermark over the image in such a way as it interferes with the enjoyment of them. I also have a way to block your IP so you won't be able to view the site at all. Please don't make me have to do this.
All I have for you right now are the screencaps from this last episode. I'll have the clip up at THE PORTAL: TED KING MEDIA sometime later today (Saturday) or sometime Sunday. I'll be taking my mother out for breakfast early Sunday morning as it's Mother's Day, and I won't have time until later...that is if I don't get it clipped up today. That's just the heads up. I'll edit this post with the clip.
TED KING PORTAL II "FRAISER" — E9X23 "THE GUILT TRIPPERS SCREENCAPS & MEDIA
I've gotten busy here. You'll notice a new icon to the right of the posts. It's the official Ted King Portal update icon. Neat uh? The other update is, I've clipped up Ted's guest appearance on the hit NBC sitcom ninth season episode "The Guilt Trippers" where Ted played the part of Roz Doyle's (Peri Gilpin) brother-in-law Craig. Ted's so adorably geeky in this role. Looking kind of 'Bou Scout'ish. I love the part where he's trying to choose something from the hors d'œuvre tray to the back of Suzanne Cryer playing Roz's sister, Denise. Then when he comes up to talk to Fraiser (Kelsey Grammer), he's all geek... in an adorable way. I screencapped up Ted's scenes some time ago but I'm going to include the album here and some caps so you can see for yourself how, you guessed it, adorably geeky he is. The first image in the screencaps is the hors d'œuvre tray scene.
TED KING PORTAL II "PRISON BREAK: E4X19 S.O.B." SCREENCAPS & MEDIA
So sorry I didn't get this up on Friday night. I had the episode recorded off of television, but with the last week being hectic, I just fell asleep before I could get it all screencapped and clipped. I also was having trouble with THE PORTAL MEDIA site. My host moved servers and when moving all my files from OBSCURE MEDIA, my TAMARA BRAUN media site and this one, some glitches occurred that I had to go in and fix before I could get up the new clips. Also, I purchased a new skin for the THE PORTAL MEDIA site and wanted to get it installed. You have to back up your files before installation so that took a little longer than I had anticipated.
About Downey in S.O.B.. Our guy was an active little boy this time out. So much so that it took some time to get the best screencaps due to his activity. I loved this episode so much. Downey really played a part in Christina's plans and I think to a certain degree, she really respects him. Certainly he's shown his loyalty to her. This bodes very well for our guy. Though I'm still getting this feeling he's going to get himself killed. Something tells me it's going to be Lincoln who does the offing. Damn shame really. But at least it's someone else other than Sonny Corinthos and or his goon, Jason Morgan. That I just couldn't have condoned. But still, I think Downey might be worthy of a spin-off, don't you think?
I'm also in the process of getting Ted's CHARMED episodes screencapped and clipped up. Please be patient. This will take some time.
TED KING PORTAL II "PRISON BREAK: EX18 VS" SCREENCAPS
Well, my on demand service finally put up last Friday's episode. Not much of our guy except to look hot as momma's lackey. Doesn't matter, at least he's being seen in a high profile show. I'm hoping that some network or cable show sees him and picks him up. Ted's not like some catalogue model who made it good with his looks. He's worked to get to where he is, and it would be any show's gain to have Ted.
Just to let you know, I've updated the sidebar section of Ted's current projects to include the final episodes and airdates for Downey. He's not in the series finale so my bet is that Downey gets killed. He's got that vibe of the red-shirted security guard from the classic Star Trek series who would beam down to the planet with Captain Kirk and get promptly dispatched by a phaser or other means. I don't know why, but that's the feeling I'm getting.
So sorry the screencaps from PRISON BREAK aren't up. I had a family problem to deal with yesterday and completely forgot to record it onto my PVR. Fortunately here in Canada we have On Demand (I'm with Rogers) so I'll be able to get it when they put it up. Usually it's the first of the week, namely Monday after the episode has aired. I'll be able to get it commercial free and clear as a bell.
Once again, my apologies. Stay tuned though for when I do post them.
I just wanted to let you know, I'm going to be doing some major housecleaning on the gallery to better orgainize the various sections. If you see something hinky going on, don't worry. It's only me toiling away at the wee small hours of the morning.
TED KING PORTAL II PRISON BREAK — E4X17 THE MOTHER LODE SCREENCAPS
Ole blue eyes is back!!!!
I know I'm late, but I had a personal issue I had to see to this evening and couldn't get the episode off my PVR until late into the evening. The screencapping took a little longer than I'd anticipated but I'm positive the results will be well worth the wait. Our guy sure took a 'shit' lode of abuse from momma in this episode. As usual though, he remained calm, cool, and most of all, didn't sweat. I'm not sure but I'm positive Downey's cell phone is Lorenzo's. They looked the same and well....any reason to mention Alcazar is a plus. Unfortunately I couldn't get the episode clipped up. I'll work on that either this evening or tomorrow. I have a major update I have to get up on my Tamara Braun site and it's going to take me the better part of the morning to do so. Once again, when she's through on AMC, I'll be working more on Ted..... Er, um.... His site, not Ted himself. Awe shucks, I'm sure Maya won't mind. I'm including one preview cap from next week's episode. Ted is once again in back of momma looking appropriately 'guard-like'.
