So: "Yes."

Y'all need to report people more.

2/10.

I spoke on Don Murray in the TP and Knots threads, but equally wonderful is his long body of work in TV and film through well before those stellar standouts. What a career. As for the legendary, immortal Carl Weathers:

Every time. Remember how both Oscar and Dev (a homeless teen from the Middle East) were supposed to be Brenda's kid?

A true legend I've only come to appreciate the work of more, and so good in Season 3.

Oh lord. That way leads madness lol.

Might wanna check the title there.

Could not care less about Dex.

I honestly don't give a fúck about Jagger let alone some random blond man they cast who looks nothing like Jagger. Just saying "Jagger is back!" does not interest me. What is his or his son's tie to the canvas at this point? Almost everyone who cared about him is gone and I somehow doubt Sonny and Jagger are gonna get comfy together.

She also said she didn't think they were for real about doing it, and neither do I. At best it was a bluff to try to smoke out VM. They have never been serious about it IMO.

Thank God this is done. Mo's kid did fine but this nepotism jaunt was going on too long for me.

I remember Who's the Boss brought in a little kid late in the run to shore up the cute factor with both kids grown and Danny Pintauro setting the sets aflame more and more by the minute. That was a common practice with aging sitcoms in those days. NBC moved Hannibal to the Saturday death slot in its third season, but it was a miracle they ran a show like that in their procedural/family drama primetime line-up for one year, let alone three. I'd forgotten that Twin Peaks was up against Cheers on Thursdays - and survived, for a long time, particularly in its first season.

I think a lot will depend on what goes down with the Mulcahey era and what we see happen BTS. If anything. I certainly never thought he'd come back.

I think he cares enough to keep her gone for as long as possible, probably because of VM's personality rubbing him the wrong way allegedly but also because IMO he knows Brenda is much bigger than anything he has chosen to focus on on his show.

Even Frank is not arrogant enough to try to recast Brenda at this point.

Such wonderful work. What a stalwart actor, both here and on TP.

I don't think Teschner often has much control over some of FV's casting choices. Teschner still occasionally scores a big hit like Chavez or Tabyana Ali or a few others, but I think Frank casts a lot himself. Many, many casting choices at GH since 2012 emulate Frank's preference for 'trainable' hunks and vague young blondes and brunettes. His taste has not changed much since his personal pick of the uh, winner of I Wanna Be a Soap Star. You're not going to tell me Teschner cast Ryan Paevey, Dead Oscar, Jordan #2 and 3 or whoever the fúck plays Willow.

lmao did he actually say this because I just texted @Darn this less than half an hour ago clowning this recast. Also, Anna must have met Jagger in more recent years because he definitely did not meet her before she blew up in 1992.

Jagger and Stone's ethnicity may or may not have been vague, I can't recall, but he sure didn't look or present like this. When you recast an international sex symbol who was explicitly a dark Italian male and often coded Latino onscreen, you can at least not cast a CMT background player in the role. I don't care that they recast Jagger, Jagger ain't all that. But this actor choice is just tomfoolery.

Always amusing to see some of the same old online cranks who have been rambling on since the end of ATWT praising its dreadful finale back in the day on Daytime Confidential eager to clap for this bizarre recast on social media. Frank is not hiring you! @DRW50 knows of whence I speak.

Also, whatever his D-list profile now Antonio Sabato Jr. was one of the most recognizable TV and music video sex symbols of the '90s. People know what he looks like even if they don't know his name. He was not the picture of whiteness. The least you can do is cast a Latino or Italian dude. It's like if Michael Muhney turned up playing Antonio Vega.

This is embarrassing.

Frank just does not give a fúck. It reminds me of when they got that rando from Seinfeld to do a few days as Kevin just because Jon Lindstrom dared to book True Detective and not hang out in the parking lot indefinitely. You don't have to knee-jerk defend everything this show does just because they call someone "Jagger" onscreen.

That looks like Sam's Club Keith Urban. I understand not wanting to deal with ASJ at this point but it's truly mortifying to cast some random Caucasian male.
