Yeah, Patrick Mulcahey's gonna have a helluva time working with Frank.

Seriously, Frank Valentini is just John Conboy with brighter lighting. But even Conboy would have hired an Hispanic Italian actor with dark features for the role.

Or Roger Howarth's. Pat Boone is Julius LaRosa compared to nuJagger.

I'm sure Frank's perusing the Abercrombie website even as we speak.

Thank you!

Again, @John, what the hell difference Does. That. Make. @Vee is right: you knee-jerk defend this crap because all you obviously care about is that someone mentioned Jagger's name onscreen.

Just because it might be inevitable, that doesn't make it acceptable. It wasn't acceptable when OLTL did it, and it sure as [!@#$%^&*] ain't acceptable now. I seriously don't know who to be mad at more: Frank Valentini, for thinking he could get away with this; or you, for casually condoning it while looking the other way. I mean, if that's the case, then I guess you wouldn't mind if I were to recast Jason with some black dude? Hey, it's gonna happen!

It's 2024. The days of casting or recasting an explicitly Hispanic character with a non-Hispanic actor are DONE. Frank can [!@#$%^&*] all the way off with this bullshit.

IDC if it's for an under-five. This is 2024. Unless this dude is playing someone who's just using Jagger's name, Frank Valentini needs to answer for this [!@#$%^&*]. Otherwise, #FireFrank needs to be resurrected.

Heads should roll for this. I haven't been this offended by a recast since they de-Asian'ed Blair on OLTL! WTH, Frank!?

I'll bet you a steak dinner that you're wrong.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Quibi was foolish not to develop a 10-to-15 minute soap opera.

Esme and her awful-sounding name are leaving. It's a good day.

To this day, I remain pissed over how CBS and Les Moonves treated that show. MSW literally kept CBS afloat for years. No show lasts forever, but MSW and Angela Lansbury deserved to go out on their terms.

I would argue that the "The Jeffersons" did. Its' first season (1975-76) ranked fourth in the ratings. The next two seasons, the show still finished within the Top 20. However, by the end of the 1978-79 season, "The Jeffersons" had fallen out of the Top 30 entirely. Then, at the start of the 1979-80 season, CBS moved the show to Sunday nights, where it rebounded, finishing at #8, I believe, as part of CBS' comedy block that also included "Alice," "Archie Bunker's Place" and "One Day at a Time." Meanwhile... What NBC did to "A Different World" in its' last season (changing its' time slot frequently and without much heads-up, lack of promotion for new episodes, including the series finale; pre-empting episodes that weren't even aired until after the network already had cancelled the show, etc.) could only be described as a "hit job." NBC was always nervous about ADW and its' eagerness to tackle controversial issues, but I think the fact that "The Cosby Show" had ended the previous season gave the network license to do whatever they could to bury it. Even if you were to argue that ADW was fading creatively after 5-6 seasons and probably didn't have that much life left in it - and I would say that that would be a fair argument - I think a series that had been a reliable performer for several seasons on the network's biggest night every week deserved better treatment. Two more examples of tank jobs: 1. NBC moving "The Golden Girls"'s time slot up an hour (from 9/8c to 8/7c) at the beginning of its' seventh and final season. The previous season still finished within the Top 10, but NBC likely saw the proverbial handwriting on the wall. 2. CBS moving "Designing Women" from Mondays to (I believe) Fridays for its' final season. Ironically, the previous season was the show's highest-rated, but I think that was due mostly to the controversy surrounding Delta Burke and the Thomasons. The truth is, with Burke and Jean Smart no longer in the cast, DW lagged creatively; and once Burke's replacement, Julia Duffy, decided not to return, I think the network just decided they had had enough.

I would say split the younger categories in two: have one younger category for actors who are, say, under age 12; and the other for actors between 12 and 17. Then, once an actor turns 18, they're disqualified from entering those categories.

I agree with you, @Vee, and with @marceline as well.

I agree!

I'd say it's a toss-up between DARK SHADOWS and PASSIONS.

Now, how were they going to explain how Collinwood existed that long ago, lol?

So, now we could have some tyke competing against the likes of Eric Braeden in the Lead Actor category??

Because [v.o.]Brady Black is here to sex up your DAYS on Peacock[/v.o.]. (With "I Wanna Sex You Up" playing in the background, of course.)

That's the thing to remember, @Juliajms: there really wasn't a "border crisis" until Republicans created one with these forced busings in order to fit their narrative; and IMO, it's way past time for people to call them out on it, too.
