Thanks! Apparently Mr. Mize is so versatile I didn't even notice even though I watch both soaps everyday 😂🤷‍♀️. I am actually embarrassed for myself at this point.

The recent one? The one Melinda blackmailed?

It was a very weird short term obstacle for Patrick/Robin that really went nowhere lol. It was strange as it didn't really fit the Robin or Jagger character. The dad was an unbelievably bad actor. To the point I noticed-on GH-so that says a lot.

I actually kind of want to see what Adam does next and how he copes and I hate myself for saying that. Well, yes, but nothing he did was very relevant. His son got diagnosed with Autism, he kissed Robin, and dated that pretty doctor and I guess moved back to San Fran

Wait? You haven't been waiting 30 years for a Jagger return?😂 And to be very clear I actually really, really liked Jagger back in the day....and haven't really thought of him since he left. It feels a little redundant for Carly to hook up with another one of Brenda's exes. Even if it was a million years ago and neither care. Brenda dated about 4 people ever on the show and Carly's married 2 of them already. I'd rather Jason Cook return to Days..

For sake of discussion, outside of law enforcement, which Dante, Chase, and Jordan cover what boxes does Jagger tick off that Jax doesn't? Jagger-mild rival for Sonny 30 years ago , might like Carly, and is FBI Jax-rival of Sonny's for 25 plus years, married to Carly, father to Joss, stepfather to Michael, takes over businesses on the daily, also dated Nina, once was very into Lois, and bff with Ned and Alexis. Jax has so much more relevance here lol. I am not advocating for Jax or Jagger to be back, but Jagger is a practical non-entity. And in general "this group" has never been praying for a Jagger return lol Exactly

Tbh, I can't find any evidence he's actually an American citizen, so I don't even think he can vote. He just talks lol.

Ingo's accent significantly changed over the years for sure. But you could still hear it lol even if it was much more diminished. He's still Australian.

Okay, but Miguel Morez could show up not played by Ricky Martin, but as a blonde man singer/FBI agent and find Jason and it would have the same affect. There are no real ties or stakes here. He looks much more suited to Jax. I feel like you need the accent to be Jax though. Ted King was in talks with GH? Dammit....why did that fall apart?

Sure? He could. But there are about 100 characters on the cast currently that would have a more vested interest in finding Jason lol. Jason's high school rival that he doesn't remember doesn't hold much weight here.

Exactly. What is he going to do that another random FBI agent couldn't? Talk to Olivia about Leo? Go a few rounds with Sonny talking about things that happened decades ago? Say hi to Lois? Form a buddy cop team with Dante? It's such an odd choice to cast Jagger again when no one ask for it. Like...ever. Even when ASJ was on Nightshift pimping to get back on main GH and had some buzz no one cared. None of these characters need to spend their time talking to Jagger about the past. Maybe Scott. And also Jason doesn't remember Jagger at all so it would all be moot because he left town before Jason had his accident.

I said Jax. But mostly because if Frank was casting out of spite, Ingo would be the first one to get recast. Not ASJ. He is still much more relevant than Jagger even if I don't see a need for him. And for everyone who keeps asking. No, Jagger has never specifically identified to any sort of race/ethnicity/background. The name Cates doesn't suggest anything in particular. Both Stone and Jagger looked darker and ethnic. Gina never did. But again, to me it's the same thing as casting Brenda with Terri Conn, KMH, or any of the other hilarious blondes that have been suggested in this thread. Brenda is to our knowledge Caucasian, but Vanessa clearly isn't. I'd have the same issue if Jax was cast with a non-Australian. No one likes Ingo, but if they cast an American white guy it wouldn't be right for Jax even though they are both white.

I don't disagree with the sentiment. In fact I agree with the 2 year contract, but the fact we are trying to mandate Vanessa to make a decision to spend years of her life at this show so she can appear is odd. Rena is appearing in a recurring fashion and no one minds that.

I don't really care if he can act. I am sure he can, but we are recasting an Italian ethnic actor with a very non Italian, ethnic actor. I am sure you can understand that's a bit bizarre and off putting.

There is no way you could make Brenda cow tow to Carly without a massive fan outcry, so it wouldn't be worth it to even try to make them on level playing fields. Carly will always feel below Brenda because of her upbringing and complex about her. She's will always be second choice and even LW's Carly was self-aware of this while concocting ridiculous schemes to take Brenda out. Any other narrative about the situation would be weird and off.

Yes! The key reason this recast is being accepted is because ASJ is an ass. As I said before it's anyone but ASJ. Which is fine but that's not the underlying point of having a blonde Jagger recast

Which is fine. They have been engaged for years and years, but it would seem all that money she made is all hers, so she could probably float for awhile without work. It looks like they (she) own homes in both New York and LA so they can't be doing that bad lol.

I think Vanessa did pretty well in syndication money with Las Vegas and 90210. She also make a lot on GH overall and if she invested it well she probably doesn't have to work. She was never a massive star, but I think she has made enough to live comfortably, if not extravagantly if she was smart about it. I think Vanessa also mentioned she was pausing her career until her son and stepdaughter were out of school. Her son is, but I think the stepdaughter is a senior in high school right now. I actually don't think she's married to her partner btw.

Approximately never 🤣 And even if GH was #1 Jagger/Karen/Brenda were the teen C story so none of it would be because of him and his abs.

Okay, it actually does look like that lol. It just looks spatially impossible from looking at the wall so close to him.

Well, I can see why they didn't hire him back? Is he okay? Why is he jerking around giving these comments? It's a bit scary. Weird erasure. But I think his point was the main ABC show. I don't think Brenda would be ruined at the altar of Carly. She's just too big of a character. The Ninas and Avas can come in, but it's not the same. Brenda was the IT girl long before Carly was. Carly is insecure about Brenda. Sonny and Jax's were Brenda's men first. I can agree FV might ruin it, but the character of Brenda just has a lot more legs than two characters made up in the last decade.

Well, Adam was a male that adored her. Britt was just a regular person who tolerated her. He was worth saving. She was not😂

Oh don't worry he will. I am just glad we didn't have to watch Eden finish the Adam story. Her one person crusade to save a life and a guitar was at least played by the recast.😂

Well BlondeJagger's appearance buried the fact that Eden's back. Where's @AbcNbc247 to commiserate with me lol? Also, we didn't talk about how BlondeJagger's first scene was with Carly because of course it was....She's never not going to be sniffing near Brenda's sloppy seconds. Move along Drew. BlondeJagger's in town now!

Victor Webster would be better as Jagger. Nikolas requires a range that I don't think VW could reach, but he probably could play Jagger. Plus he fills the hotness role.
