As Crossroads viewers will have seen by now, Rex Oliver's charm and atmosphere aren't by any means restricted to the Salon at Crossroads.  He's quite willing, and certainly capable of spreading his personality wherever he reckons it will do him a little good.  He makes a pretty definite pass at Vera herself, but she's a little too wordly-wise to fall for the junior Lothario's line.  But there are other ladies, and other lines.  'Sexy Rexy' can afford to offer his charms elsewhere.

 

Kim is well aware that Rex, unlike another young man who has recently joined the Motel - Jeff Gilbert, played by Julian Barnes - may have charm, but hasn't the most acceptable of personalities.  We talked to him right at the outset of his Crossroads career, and he was wondering just how people would take to the new character.  "I mean, there are all these faithful Crossroads viewers who have been watching their favourite stars for years now and in walks this conceited young guy who wants to take over the place.  They may find him attractive, I hope they do, but on the other hand they might go right against him.  It's all got a lot to do with the way that I play it, I suppose."
