When a personality exits a present, there’s all the time the glimmer of hope that they may return for some essential occasion that justifies their existence within the daytime panorama. That’s what former Basic Hospital star Robert Palmer Watkins hoped to see for Dillon Quartermaine. When Kiki Jerome (Hayley Erin, now Younger & Stressed‘ Claire) was stabbed to demise by Ryan Chamberlain (Jon Lindstrom), he needed to return for the funeral. Proper?!! Sigh.
Everyone knows that didn’t occur, however we did get Watkins’ ideas in regards to the important oversight within the storyline. Revealing to Soaps.com that he had “no thought why” Basic Hospital producers didn’t write Dillon again in for not less than an episode, he discovered the scenario “so complicated” — and we don’t blame him. “There have been storylines that had been simply dropped fully. And look, I get it. There’s quite a bit occurring behind the scenes that I don’t perceive, and other people don’t get to see,” he says. “However when there are storylines that had been began, I feel it’s virtually insulting to the followers to not not less than contact again on that.”
Watkins didn’t maintain again — and there are a number of Basic Hospital viewers who would agree with this sentiment: “For Dillon to not be at Kiki’s funeral was ridiculous.” Significantly — why wasn’t he again in Port Charles? This was the previous love of his life. Despite the fact that he believes Dillon is “engaged on scripts and films” both “in LA or New York” now, he would by no means be too busy to honor Kiki’s life.
Even with this storyline frustration, Watkins says he’d “like to cease again in Port Charles” if Basic Hospital ever wants him. Within the meantime, viewers will discover him doing stints in primetime on reveals like The Strolling Lifeless: World Past and S.W.A.T., however a return to daytime has eluded him to date… until Basic Hospital is prepared for an additional Dillon cameo.
