- ... that Lee Patterson portrayed the role of newspaper editor Joe Riley as a member of the original cast of the American soap opera One Life to Live?

Article length and date verified. The proposed hook is not eligible due to the DYK rule which states: "If the subject is a work of fiction or a fictional character, the hook must involve the real world in some way." Something about the actor might work. - PM800 (talk) 01:01, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
- OK, so you added the actors' names.[1] What I really meant was that the hook should be changed entirely. - PM800 (talk) 18:34, 19 November 2011 (UTC)

This one looks good. For future reference, when there is a problem with a proposed hook and it is replaced with a new hook, it is desirable to keep the original hook in the nomination template (but strike it out or add a "rejected" symbol) and propose the replacement later in the nomination as an "ALT" hook. It is exasperating (and it delays the review process) for a reviewer to have to dig through the page history to make sense of a discussion that was actually pretty straightforward. --Orlady (talk) 16:32, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
