Todd McKee- 80s Soap Star & Forever Vintage Beefcake

Too Zoolander …meh.

Sexy as fuck -but it would be nice to see a recent picture (or two) and hear if he is gay, straight, etc.

Well is he or isn’t he? Who’s had him?

I remember reading that he and his co-star, the gorgeous John Allan Nelson, took a trip around the world together. I used to fantasize about that.

Nelson was absolutely gorgeous. He’s pictured with McKee in R1 and R2. He was also in the 1987 movie “Hunk” only wearing a Speedo.

R25 incorrect info. They didn’t travel together. He traveled with his costar Lane Davies, as OP mentioned.

This is him in 2016.

His last appearance on B&B in 2019. Still handsome.

He will be 61 this year. He was 21 when cast on Santa Barbara. I bet that’s on his mind lowkey

McKee and Nelson did at least travel to Paris together.

When I moved to LA in 1999, Todd McKee was one of the first celebrities I ever saw in person. He was shopping in the Ralphs on 3rd and La Brea.

Looked every bit as gorgeous in person as he did on TV.

R29 yes. They took a one week trip to Paris in 1988. His world travel partner in 1989 to 1990 was not Nelson. Though. This was a separate trip.

People do travel more than once.

R29 not to be rude, but the article is from 1988 and literally states it was a 4 day trip.

The photos at r1 r2 are from Battle of the Daytime Stars. Daytime stars had their own Battle that was separate from the Network stars (typically primetime).

That was the 1985 competition.

What would Matt Damon say?

His brother Jon McKee (gay, I think) is a photographer and took lots of photos for the soap mags.

Todd was always so hot, and even as a baby gay, I could sense that he was HUNG.

Seduced the girls in Paris 🙄

I had no idea Robin Wright was on Santa Barbara

Winning the relay portion for Santa Barbara. King.

I don’t know what his relationship is with her mother (if they are married or ever were, or divorced etc), but he has a daughter. This is from October 2022.

He was married. Idk if he still is.

He’s lovely. Kind of reminds me of Armie Hammer in some photos.

Old article about him traveling the world with Lane.

Years ago my friend and I wrote him a fan letter. No response. Then his character, Ted, turned out to be a rapist and we read a true crime book about Ted Bundy and months after his character was written off Santa Barbara we got a letter from him imploring us to write the producers and get Ted back on the show. We screamed in horror and would hide the letter in each other's pillow cases and sleeping bags at slumber parties. We were 11 and it was hilarious

R43 that never happened. He left the show on his own terms with his costar to travel the world.

Ted never raped anyone. That was his Bold and the Beautiful character.

Young Todd was EXACTLY my type. Reminds me of someone I once dated.

Mmmm. He reminds me of someone I'd like to have dated. Sexy Scorpio.

Did he and Lane fuck?

R43 that is just sad. Lying about this of all things? Todd ditched the soap himself. He wasn’t let go. He quit. They wanted him to stay. His leaving was one of the things that upset viewers. They never warmed up to the actor who took over the role of Ted from him. Also, Ted was a good egg on the show who never raped anyone. Christy was raped by her stepbrother Steve, who convinced her to blame Ted for the rape. But her never did a thing to her.

Ted was the youngest member of the four children and a teenager in the early seasons. He had the shows first teenage storyline. When his mother (who is believed to be dead) shows up and reveals she faked her death, he is the one to almost immediately forgive her. Ted was loved by viewers and the showrunners didn’t want him to leave, but he did.

And guess what, he would have never asked some kid to write to be cast again because he had a job waiting for him when he got back home. He was cast in the very popular Bold and the Beautiful months before he could come back and film. They nabbed him the minute the found out he ditched Santa Barbara.

I forgot that Ted was recast! Michael Brainard. He also played Joey Martin on AMC. Cute enough, but no Todd McKee, for sure.

R37 She was Kelly Capwell.

Hot hot man, then and now. Lean and hairy, the best body type.

I used to work in the same building in Century City as he did, about 10 years ago. I saw him a few times, He is still a sexy man.

R48 not to mention, the rape storyline took place in the shows second season. He left after the fifth. What would the rape storyline have to do with him leaving? That poster lied about something so stupid.

Santa Barbara won the Best Drama Series Daytime Emmy 3x within its 9 years. That’s actually really good, especially considering it was not nearly as popular as a handful of other soaps on.

But to be fair, NBC put it up against General Hospital on ABC and Guiding Light on CBS, two of the most popular soaps at the time.

R53, it was like 40 years ago and I was a kid so I just texted my friend and she told the response came a couple years later, which is why we were so freaked out about it.

I knew Todd and his brother Jon. Todd was a very good dude and very much a "dude." I can't say he was gay, but there were times I was convinced he had been on that side of the fence. He seemed clueless about how hot he was. When he was on B&B he was also flipping houses. He seemed to never want to stand still.

R56 from one lie to the next? Seriously?

That persons family needs to step up and get him in a mental facility. If you know anything about psychology, you can see he is actually worse than Britney Spears. Ironically he’s fixated on her and posts about her more than anyone on here.

What was the male rape storyline about? Was it a woman who drugged him and got pregnant? I seem to recall reading about a soap opera where that happened.

R59 the character Jake (like his character Ted on Santa Barbara) was a good egg. An all around nice guy, handsome, smart, almost perfect. The character Felicia was trying to get together with Jake but it went nowhere, so she tried getting her friend to link up with him and that went nowhere also. Felicia was not understanding what was wrong with him. They became close though and he opened up to her about his father continuously raping him when he was growing up. She told him he needs to go confront his father for what he did to him.

Jake Maclaine returned home to Madison, Wisconsin to face his father over the abuse he suffered. Ben was insistent that he was innocent and that he’d never harmed his son. Furious, Jake attacked his father, refusing to believe him. Ben kept saying ‘Jake, I never touched you!’ After Ben became ill, his brother Charlie showed up to stay with the family – just as he had stayed with them when Jake was a boy. (Hmmm…)

Jake couldn’t shake one memory in particular from when he was abused. He recalled hearing a slight clinking sound as his ‘father’ entered his room each night. When Charlie dropped by an adult Jake’s room, Jake heard a similar clinking sound. He realized that it was Charlie’s dog tags that made the noise and it wasn’t his father who had molested him but rather his uncle!

Jake confronted his uncle who then tried murdering him. His sister saved him and his uncle committed suicide.

Wow, r60. Pretty deep for a daytime soap opera.

r57 sorry which lie did I tell? I worked at CBS, saw Todd almost daily when he was working there.

R62 how did you, who wasn’t even born yet, work for CBS from 1990-1992? Make it make sense. Enough with the lying. It’s sickening.

r63 what the hell are you talking about? Where did I say I was not born in 1990? I am 57 years old. I did my college internship at CBS, worked as a page, then at CBS proper for more than 10 years.

Don't listen to that asshole at R63. He does that to everyone. He's mentally ill.

R61 it’s deep for any tv show, but especially one in the early 90s.

r67 it was. Todd was Lauren Koslow's brother on the show and they brought on her whole family to expand the families on B&B beyond just the Logans and the Forresters. Jake (Todd's character) was meant to be Felicia's super couple mate but then they went deep into the male rape/incest storyline. Jake was just a young boy when it happened and he remembered it was his father but it was his uncle (who looked a lot like his father). It was super heavy stuff. The problem was once it was resolved (the uncle killed himself) there was not a lot to incorporate the rest of the family into the show.

If I remember correctly, Jake was added to the show independently and then they decided to make him the brother of Margo. I don’t think he’s introduced as her brother initially

I remember Ted having deep scratches in his cheek during the rape storyline.

Yup, R65 is right.

R64: R63 is the only poster I've blocked. His 'thing' is tedious: "you're lying; get a job and stop living off your family; you spend your life on this site; I have screenshots of what you posted; I'm going to report you to Muriel; you're embarrassing; you're a retard".

He's just trying to get a reaction so, as Muriel tell us: don't feed the trolls.

r68 I think you are right, but I think it was always planned that he was Margo's brother. I kind of remember it as either he ran away or was estranged from the family or she was.

Always thought he was super hot. Never knew he was 6’4” 😮

[quote] Sexy as fuck -but it would be nice to see a recent picture (or two) and hear if he is gay, straight, etc.

R23 Todd got married in 2012. He and his wife Kristin have a daughter named Harper. He's been putting videos of the girl on Vimeo and Youtube since she was born (about 10 years ago). I hate to say it, but some of the ones I previously saw were almost embarrassing, because he seems like a stage mother. ..lol.

His Linkedin shows that he's a financial advisor at Morgan Stanley, and you can find his page at their website. But the photo there is kinda old.

When he turned 60 last year, he put a retrospective of photos in a video on his Vimeo channel, and there's some more recent stuff with his wife and kid toward the end. His hair is pretty gray now. This appeared to be the latest photo of him in that set.

Here's the entire video I mentioned above ^^^. Lots of photos, press clippings within from when he was young.

R73 why do you always over search things?

R75, It looks like vintage beefcake is back under an anonymous account, up to her old tricks, at R73 and R74.

And don't forget that by bumping this thread she's able to get karma for new sockpuppet accounts - R73 and R74 are certainly sockpuppets.

R75 Over search? What the hell are you talking about? .. Someone else in the thread asked if there were recent photos and/or update, so I answered. .. Todd is easily found on his own video channels and has been for years. And if you do a simple google search on his name, the photo and link to his Morgan Stanley job/profile is right at the top of t he results. He himself mentioned his work as a financial advisor during one of his more recent guest appearances on B&B. This is hardly "over searching."
