I've always said that the door is always open, but I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it. I'm interested in big storylines, not small ones. -- Ted King (on speculation he'd be returning to General Hospital -- ABC SID 03/18/2008)

Does anyone know the Ted’s actual airdates since 22 June on? I’ve been out of the loop for a while due to some personal and other extraneous issues and really need to know when Ted was on. I’m trying to get the updates done but don’t know any of his airdates since the above date.
On other issue, for those wishing to view a possible blind item on Ted, please go to TED BLIND ITEM READ HERE. It’s a message board I’ve set up on my Tamara Braun site. I’ve added a section for Ted if you want to discuss. One thing though, I’ve had to heavily moderate who joins due to an impressive amount of spammers who seem to want to post about their penis enlargers, Asian porn sites and or minutae. So I’m going to have to do it this way so that only valid signups get through. So here’s what you have to do, use the CONTACT FORM on my Tamara site. Please cite what username you’ve signed up under in the comments section. Tell me perhaps who you are and why you love Ted otherwise I might not approve your subscription to the message board.
My apologies for not having updated in a while, but things just got really backlogged and I always told myself if that did happen my Tamara Braun site would take precident over my others. So that’s the reason for the delinquency. Also I’m totally bored with the direction Ted’s storyline is taking. A wife? Is that the only thing Ron Carvalati could come up with? A wife? Like that one hasn’t been done before. Quite honestly, I’d love to see Ted back as Lorenzo on GH rather than this. Yeah I know, “But Ted’s getting story, that’s all that counts…right?” I’d have to agree with that reasoning, however, this whole “I have a wife I’ve never told you about” is sort of been done to death, and with OLTL having only months left, I’d have hoped they’d have had something more original. I know it’s asking too much, but come on! This is a bit ridunkulous doncha think? Yeah…didn’t think so.
I also wanted to address the flood of comments I’ve been getting from one person who believes it’s more productive to pester me with countless comments about when the screencaps and clips will be available. While I understand the aspect of being excited to see these caps and clips, and I do understand it, please note…it takes quite a bit of time to do both the screencaps and clips. It’s not a snap and it’s done aspect. It does take some time and considering that I also have four other sites I work on, I need to be able to apportion my time on each site. While it may take some time to get the updates done, don’t flood me and keep changing your IP when I ban you for being a pest. And like I said above, my Tamara Braun site takes precidence. Always and Tamara’s episode count is higher than Ted’s at current and takes longer to cap and clip. I’m willing to unban you, however, know this: I will not stand for anymore flooding and disrespecting me. I told you before, I’m not an ATM machine. The updates will be done when they get done. And like I pointed out another time, I also have a personal and private life that I value and need to keep me balanced during my online endeavours. If you cannot respect that, then I’m afraid I’ll have to keep banning you until you finally get it.
I also wanted to let you know I’m working on getting all of Ted’s PRISON BREAK episodes done. I have HI RES versions of the episodes and am redoing the screencaps in a higher resolution for the gallery. I’ll be deleting the ones already there and posting the better ones. The same will go for The Portal Media Site. So if you seen anything hinky going on, don’t fret. I’m not taking stuff away, but making things better. Stay tuned….. Here are the updates……
Once again I know I’m late to the game. Been very tired this week and with a lot of errands to run. Also with Ted being on every day, it’s been a little difficult to keep up. But the stuff is here. I will make a comment below on Ted’s scenes this weekI also have an addition to the press section, which I’m hoping this weekend to get a little bit more caught up. I have a ton to add and no time to do it. The other reason these were so late, for the past week the station I watch the show on at two in the afternoon, kept putting up storm warnings over the show. At one point right over Ted’s face. I had to re-record two programs this week later at four due to this.
Hasn’t Ted been amazing this week? I’m sad the white shirt is gone. But I’m loving Ted as Tomas. I’m hoping he isn’t the one responsible for offing Marty (Susan Haskell). That would so offend me. I’m sick of seeing women being written as nutjobs who when they go off their nuts, they kidnap babies. Sparks of unoriginal writing. There were other ways to usher Marty off the canvas short of having her become unhinged. I know this was supposed to be a post about Ted, but I digressed. My woman power wanted a voice. Now back to the truly superficial. Dammit to Todd (Trevor St. John) for calling Tomas before he had the chance to seal the deal with Blair (Kassie DePaiva). Damn him to hell. I wanted another Ted shirtless scene and to see him have full out animal sex. We haven’t been treated to that since, if I recall correctly, his steamy scenes on GENERAL HOSPITAL with Tamara Braun as Lorenzo and Carly.
Just to add, I’ve been reading on various soap message boards Ted may be on his way out early. I’ve mostly been reading this on Soap Central‘s OLTL board and reiterrated on the ABC.GO board for the show. I’m not sure how accurate these rumors are, but nothing would surprise me at this point. Now I want to repeat this is just a rumor, not fact.
I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated this site with Ted’s latest ONE LIFE TO LIVE episodes, and for that I’m sorry. I’m not sure if it’s totally understood how long it does take to record the episode, wait for it to convert to a workable format, screencap, edit screencaps, clip up the episode into Ted’s selected scenes and then finally to upload to the gallery and media site. On average it takes about two and a half hours to do so. When that two and a half hours is crammed into my private life, of which it has been calling me more of late with my 88-year-old mother being sick and taking care of her, spending time with my partner of 25+ years and the adoption of our new kitty, I’ve been pulled more towards home and that private time. I’ve needed it. So I’m going to ask one thing of my visitors, there’s no good thing in asking me when certain days are going to be up or when. I will update when I get that time. So I’m going to ask your patience regarding this. I haven’t forgotten this site or Ted’s work on the show. I adore Ted as a man first, actor second, and I’m sure he would want me spending that time with my family. I also want to say I created this site as the only fansite on the web dedicated to Ted. It is a labor of love for me alongside that of my fansites for Tamara Braun, Stephen Nichols, Mitch Pileggi and Diane Neal. With Tamara having just rejoined DAYS OF OUR LIVES and Stephen’s time on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS heating up for May sweeps, it’s going to get confusing in where to devote my time. So I have to do it across the board. What does that mean exactly? It means that I might have to bunch up episodes and only edit and clip on certain days, which means taking that two hours/two and a half hours per episode and devoting one or two days a week to get that job done. But again, some of my patrons requesting I do the work or when it’ll be up isn’t going to make me go any faster. I’m not an ATM, I’m human and a person who needs that private time to balance out all the other things I do in my web time. Which means updating this and my other sites. I know you love viewing Ted’s work…so do I quite frankly. Be patient is all I’m asking.
My apologies for not having these up yesterday, but with the news breaking that Tamara Braun was making a return to DAYS OF OUR LIVES to replace Natalia Livingston in the role of Taylor…some things kinda got left behind. Also I’ve been battling a really bad viral infection in my throat that sort of has me on slow motion due to the meds I’m on for pain and for the infection. Please be kind…. But here you are.
I usually like having these up on the day within about an hour or so of the airing, but I had some issues I had to deal with today. But here they finally are. Well, Tomas arrived in Llanview and may I say, he looks simply gorgeous. I love the glasses. Not sure if Ted actually needs them or if they’re part of the character. All I can say is they add a studious quality to Tomas. So far most of my favourite actors wear specs. Ted along with Mitch Pileggi and Stephen Nichols make them sexy as hell. Yep, think I’m gonna like Tomas…as long as he keep the glasses. Ted was in the preview for Monday’s episode and it is included in the clip.
Edited: I forgot to add this to the main post. As much as I’m sure that this pairing with Blair (Kassie DePaiva) will likely stir up the heat, I really do wish Tomas had been brought on for Kelly Cramer (Gina Tognoni). I really thought Gina would have been the better recast for Carly on GENERAL HOSPITAL when Tamara Braun left in 2005. Gina unfortunately was still under contract at GUIDING LIGHT as Dinah Marler. Instead we got Laura Wright who has totally digressed the character even further back than Sarah Brown’s version. If wishes were horses ….
I’ve finally been able to upload the media for Ted’s debut episode of ONE LIFE TO LIVE. Not much for a debut but the obligatory few second view. More on Monday. My guess is that it’ll be Ted’s actual first full day. Just a little sidenote, I regularly post to Dan J. Kroll’s SOAPCENTRAL.COM boards. Well he has a weekly Sirius radio program where he interviews those in the soap world including actors, writers, some who give commentary on the soaps. Well yesterday he had a fan phone in show where fans could posit questions to him about upcoming plots and or major complaints about the direction their shows were going in. I was able to call in and ask some questions regarding Ted’s future on the show. Dan told me that in the next two weeks during sweeps, Tomas’ connection to Llanview would become known and we’d finally find out where he fits in the whole scheme. I’ve been able to download the MP3 of the show. I can post my portion upon request. I also asked questions about Ted’s former GENERAL HOSPITAL co-stars, Tamara Braun (Carly Corinthos) and Stephen Nichols (Stefan Cassadine).
[ 037 ] SCREENCAPS: 01/21/2100 – ONE LIFE TO LIVE DEBUT
[ 001 ] MEDIA CLIP: 01/21/2011 – ONE LIFE TO LIVE DEBUT
EW magazine is apparently reporting and SoapCentral is confirming, that Ted has signed with the ABC soap opera ONE LIFE TO LIVE as an unnamed character to be involved with the character of Blair played by Kassie DePavia. Ted’s first airdate has been scheduled for January 21, 2011. My guess it’s so he and Maya and Ava can make the move to New York where OLTL is taped. This is very good news for Ted’s fans as we get him back on our screens. Keep an eye out here for more news as it’s reported. And don’t fear, I’ll be doing up Ted’s episodes for the site. Whew, between Ted and Stephen Nichols who’s currently playing uber-tycoon Tucker McCall on the soap opera THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, I’ll be one busy girl. Now if Tamara Braun decided to come back to daytime, I’d really be snookered.
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.
Don’t forget that Ted returns as the mysterious Downey on PRISON BREAK tonight. Check your local listings for airtimes in your area. The Portal will have the screencaps and hopefully clips up after the airing.
Also, I’m hoping to get more done on the site. With Tamara Braun‘s time coming to a close on the ABC Soap Opera ALL MY CHILDREN, I’m hoping to be able to devote more time to this site. Keep checking in. All updates will be here. I’m also considering a change in the look of this site. Just considering it ….
