RH always was and always will be Todd Manning. These scenes were so liberating for so many viewers who never bought TSJ and his weird "take" on this iconic character that RH worked so hard to shape. This was soap opera payoff in its truest sense!
Clearly you have zero idea about the history of the REAL Todd Manning -RH. I stopped watching OLTL when tsj ‘took over’. It was a slap in the face by OLTL writers to the viewers. Luckily RH returned and the rest is history. Good riddance tsj as Todd.
i don't blame tsj for working with the material he was given, nor do i think he's a bad actor. it must have sucked for him to be told that the work he'd done for eight years was suddenly retconned, and for that, i sympathize with him. however, like pretty much everyone else has already said, what endeared rh's todd to audiences more than anything else was his soul and sense of humor and comedic timing, which i think tsj lacked in his performance. todd is a character who was introduced to audienced as a douchey frat boy and a serial rapist. and it takes *a lot* to make a character like that appealing. but what made todd work wasn't just the writing, but that he could make you laugh, smile, and see a deeper side to him in this really simplistic, almost childlike way (like when he's palling around with sam). he had this vulnerability that made you almost forget the kind of person he really was until he did the next horrific thing. tsj never really managed to capture that vulnerability, so all you're left with is todd's rage and abusive behavior. even after todd/victor was raped, you never saw him work through it emotionally. add to that the fact that the writers had him do things the "real" todd would never do (i.e. the re-rape, hitting starr while she was pregnant, etc.), and all you're left with is an asshole who the audience is never invited to connect with. that's my two cents anyway.
Trevor should have stayed as Walker Lawrence. roger brought this darkness to the role of todd.a man beyond redemption. But his children always brought the light he needed. while trevor played todd as a rich entitled jerk
This is like the memory transfer story on GH,right now.Love this clip,the two Todd's,full mania,they were the original twin experiment!Both so flamming Hot!!
@@lennysmith8851 I always said that at least here they kept us guessing, unsure as to who was, in fact, the real Todd Manning. In General Hospital they made it obvious that Steve Burton was the real Jason Morgan.
It's funny watching this currently and noticing all the red flags I've never noticed before. For starters, being called a "freak" seems to get to him as it always has... that and Scarface.
As much as I love RH, I always hated when he used a gun. That wasn't his style. He always seemed so desperate when he held a gun. I was used to Todd always being in control.
JayTheAdviceGuy What I hated about all this was that they had him shoot Victor instead of beat him at his own game. It was a dumb move on the writers part.
Not to put heat on the second todd because he was cute and he was a good actor. But he was not Todd Manning. He never feel that role for me and I can never taken serious in that role. And I stoped watching
I am so happy to see this! I never accepted TSJ as "Todd," It was more like dealt with, but seeing them together like this....Roger IS Todd...STILL!!

Exactly!!! 💯
Yeeessss!!!!!! The fans deserved this scene!.
😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣This had me rolling. Roger Howarth is funny as hell!
TSJ/Todd lacks the depth and complexity of RH/Todd. There's a kindness to RH's TRUE Todd that made the character so compelling.
I hate how everyone is saying that TSJ was a fake Todd for 8 years...LISTEN PEOPLE!!! before RH came back TSJ took over the role as Todd Manning!

@@LC-qf8wb How do I not know the history of Todd Manning?🤔 when Roger Howarth left the show in 2003, Trevor took over the role 🤷🏾♂️ SIMPLE!
And we are clearly telling you we didn’t like it, so take it and shut it
There is only one Todd Manning just like there is only one Jason Morgan. The originals can never be replaced.
Yeah, and he did a horrible job.
Phenomenal acting from both!!!
You wanna know who I am? I'M TODD MANNING!!!!
Amazing. Epic. RH is Todd!
RH is the only Todd! I never could stand Victor
Why
Yes Todd Manning!!!RH was the True Todd and always will be!TSJ was,a,joke!
dang lol
This is so dramatic better than anything on any current soap
The real Todd Manning would never have had a "relationship" with Marty Saybrooke.
He didn't convince me either! Roger/Todd, honey! I knew he was a fake from day one and I've been saying for 8 damn years!
SexyBeautifulOne yep so true
Yeah right

Or made him Powell Lord with plastic surgery.....He became obsessed with Todd before leaving in 1994

Why does TSJ always have his mouth open? 😄

Who’s more sick?
I loved both Todd's but rh is the real Todd ....but to tsj
I only saw TSJ bc I started it later in the show. As I grew and watched it later RH really made him both bad and good.
Trevor st john played todd as more sinister controlled and rh todd was more raging and impulsive.
TSJ was the sexiest Todd and RH was the best acting Todd.
RH was and still is gorgeous.
No way RH was, you need your eyes checked
That's what I'm saying, specially when tsj had longer hair,yeah baby!!😍😍
Please consult an ophthalmologist immediately. Your eyes are failing you
Wtf?? You’re crazy as hell
TSJ stole this scene.
Hold this L
Give me whatever it is that You're smoking lol
Tsj has a very flat acting style ..RH is a master of nuance and humanity
go victor!!!!!!!!
Hold this L
I will always love my trevor as my todd~~~
eccept for Evangeline~~she is trevor/todds NOt roger
Roger will always be Todd, Trevor will always be the replacement
That’s the thing he wasn’t Todd!!
