Okay I'm now on the blog kick...well I don't post on boards all that much anymore, but I really do have stuff to say.  I posted some thoughts about Peyton's guest stint and I wanted to cut and paste.

"rose, I have thought exactly the same thing. I'm so glad she is steadily working, and I do think she will accept gladly all the roles she can get for increased exposure (and plus quantity for now is important for a steady paycheck)...she may land a main big role that would define quality. The whole ironic thing was that she is seen by 5 times as many viewers in her guest spots than she ever did on ATWT, but in terms of airtime (obviously); it's been reversed. PL has at least a lot of exposure from modeling and the guest spots and the studio flick>>> she could by chance get a spot on Big Love the BIll Paxton show just due to networking with Bill Paxton (from their golfing movie). As folks know it took Joie Lenz three whole years after GL to get One Tree Hill---and she said that there was one year where she was in four different pilots! I'm wondering if her agents will suggest the telenovelas that Mynetworktv is doing...they run 65 episodes per series...alicia leigh willis is filming one right now for a "castaway heiress" type show. They're cheezy but it's steady work and it what I heard soapy goodness"

"Okay Ava was alive, and now presumably is killed (again) but at least Hopper got to talk to her this time. While the premise is great, the show is so hard to keep track of...I think by the last episode of the season, everyone is going to be confused! SO I guess I will take back the wish that Grayson played this role



She looked AWESOME in her bikini. However...i think her whole scene lasted only less than a minute!! I am shocked that folks say in her guest spots she acts as flatly as she did as Lucy. WHO COULD TELL? She doesn't get all that much airtime. I think we will put this in the "get primetime exposure and get a paycheck" category. As an oddity, I've now seen every guest spot she's done (even SATC and SVU) EXCEPT One Tree Hill.



I'm also thinking most viewers will be shocked if they found out Peyton is only 20! She looks soooo much older (and also on ATWT)...as a comparison as I mentioned...Alex Chando who plays Maddie is also 20 and just a couple months older. My guess is Peyton is doing the bmovies this year and maybe next year because at least she will get meatier storyline material playing lead (or substantial supporting roles)



Also, I was watching SVU last night and Michelle Tractenberg guest starred with a longer meatier role as a kidnapped internet star...I really could see Peyton playing this role (but it's in NYC and Peyton seemingly is sticking to LA stuff)"
