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.

Not all of us are watching live so some context helps.

They'll change your life!

The GOAT.

Sure, you're entitled to that. The problem is I see a lot of other people saying the same thing and acting like it's known fact. It ain't.

The Conners has carried the torch very well for the original show at least, even if I am multiple seasons behind. I've been very happy with what I've watched. I absolutely loved the Luke/Laura visit on Roseanne. I watched both shows at the time and lost my mind.

Justin Hartley? Who literally came back to soaps for a multi-year contract after making it in primetime when money got tight, before landing This is Us? Again, cite sources beyond 'I just don't like him'.

I can't take him seriously after what happened to him in the Why Did I Get Married movies lol, I'm sorry. I'll always think of those camp classics.

How many times did Michael Nader come back (not counting his eventual triumphant Prospect Park return)? Tyler to DAYS, despite the drama when he last left GH? Missy Reeves after the huge rift with Corday and lawsuit publicly dragging her name through the mud? And then there's Steve Burton, who was never blackballed for the Monavie pyramid scheme or for refusing to be vaccinated. I can name more and possibly a few as bad as Nader or Pullos. I won't be surprised if she returns someday is all. Daytime is like that.

I would point out that as usual with Elizabeth Korte, nothing actually attributes that quote to her. I've been seeing people coast on vibes about this woman for over 20 years.

Peter Parros was the most boring actor alive to me, I'll pass.

I wouldn't be so sure. Soap stars have done worse and come back when the affection is there among cast and crew (and audience). It may be a long time but it won't shock me.

I am never going to catch up on this show but I promise I will keep trying, lol.
