Eagerly waiting to see what your new avatar will be! I also eagerly await the arrival of permanent and not temporary bans from posting.

From SDCC: Danai Gurira confirmed her departure in the upcoming season, and the Andrew Lincoln-starring TWD films will play in theaters. (Possibly only in theaters, if I read the announcement right.) IIRC Danai is going to be in them as well.

Yeah, that definitely never happened.

I'm pleased the creative team is returning to cap it off. The new film was quite good.

You'd think he'd be shrewd enough after this many years in daytime to realize Traci (as well as being a beloved character with a rich history) is one of a number of audience surrogates in soaps, and lean into it as I assume Don Diamont and Michael Damian, etc. did before him. Certain studs are positioned as dream figures for the viewer.

Goddard should watch himself. When Kristoff (RIP) was alive and his friend it was one thing, but Y&R is a snakepit of egos and people on that show go back with Beth Maitland a long, long way, to say nothing of the fans. He has snaked his way out of any good story he's been given that would make him more than Lily's man, the role he is most comfortable with and most useless in. So kill him.

Best of luck with the rest of your real one. I like JT and thought Miller was wildly overrated at Y&R, but I don't think he's anywhere near as successful in the role as Miller was. He has a small fanbase with the GT fans there IMO and that's it.

Other actors in games, sure. Those two? Nope. Nolan North is a household name with a ton of young folks because of gaming and is pitched as such at major industry events. Brian Bloom, again, has never been hard up enough to return to soaps (and there's times I've hoped he would), even in his worst years. These days he has a similar career to North, who was never as famous outside games as Bloom was to begin with. And Bloom also has substantial film industry connections with big directors. So no, he definitely won't be back. And if by some miracle either of them were to appear they wouldn't do it as Drew, the stopgap character absolutely no one at GH cares about.

Come to find out after all these years that nelly old Michael Fairman is the soap industry's answer to Walter White

Actually, he is. The dude is the king of video game work. May sound silly to you and it is, but he works on million dollar game after million dollar game and has far more public recognition from games like Uncharted now than 90% of the current breed of soap stars. You don't have to like it, but it's true. It's why North made it clear a few years ago (at a game event) that he hated his time on soaps and would never go back. I love this medium, but I'm also honest. North is now too well-ensconced in his current industry to come back. Brian Bloom, who has never been desperate enough to come back anyway, is also doing pretty well for himself there and elsewhere. I do! He won't!

Well, for one it hasn't stopped Nolan North from never coming back - video game/voice work pays at their level, and North and Bloom are very prolific. Second, Bloom and his family do well elsewhere. He also is tied to several prominent directors like Joe Carnahan and is often involved in their films, including being a co-writer on The A-Team, of all things. Point is, no, he won't be back.

Miami Vice got its reboot AFAIC, namely the excellent Michael Mann film from the 2000s which has seen its critical rep only increase over time after initially being mocked for its association with the show.

John, Brian Bloom's career is in decent shape; he has absolutely no reason to come back to the dying soaps and play no-hope Drew who the show does not care about. Every single member of that immediate family should be removed from the canvas, much like Oscar, who let's not forget is worm meat.

Come on!!!
