SoapHub suggests a replacement for NAC and says AP could return.
Nicholas Alexander Chavez Is Not Coming Back to GH (yahoo.com)
Spencer and Esme have graves in Port Charles but there’s always a chance that both characters could do the Lazarus bit and make their way back to the story canvas. Pohl could reprise Esme. Perhaps GH will hire a new Spencer — wouldn’t Rory Gibson (criminally under-used as Noah on The Young and the Restless) make a good one? Who do you think could play Spencer? Let us know in the comments below.
I agree Rory Gibson was underused, but nothing he produced on Y&R suggested he was an NAC-level talent.

Why does it have to go beyond JG? If he wanted to write for her, he would. It's been said for years that he doesn't like the Sharon character -- and we're seeing that on the show.
For me, it's another reason to fire JG.
Just my own feeling—I hope I’m wrong.

And one thing that drives me nuts is that besides Jabot, we have NO IDEA what the hell any of these companies even do. There are so many companies talked about I'm not sure even the writers know. Like...what the hell was the point of Sharon inheriting that random company from the psycho? There was no purprose.
Something feels off about how this show is dealing with Sharon Case. It sort of goes beyond mere disinterest on JG’s part. Just my feeling.

I still don't get the hate for Joshua Morrow. At all.
My issue is that I don’t think Y&R has any idea of what to do with him and hasn’t for at least a decade. He’s not well suited for the type of stories he gets. He’s not untalented; he’s great-looking; he can be charismatic when he wants.

He wouldn’t be the first in Genoa City…
33 minutes ago, BoldRestless said:JM would have worked in the Paul Williams hero archetype. He was good fighting off Cameron and Jordan. A career change at this point wouldn't be credible so they're kind of stuck.
I dunno… we’ve already seen Nick waver quite a bit about his place at Newman, and he started that ill-fated club that Dina burnt down. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him ditch the corporate gig for something more free. But they don’t seem to be able to write for him outside of NE.

I also agree...outside of his father scenes which IMHO JM does pulled off though I agree SC pulls it off better...there really isn't much for Nick to do. And I mostly definitely don't want him back with the giggly heffa.
I will say that while I didn't want Nick vs Adam over a woman again...I thought Nick/Sally/Adam was surprisingly good at the start. It was only when they threw in a baby that that flopped.
Even though he don't deserve her, it did look like they were circling back to Shick after Cameron...that story just fell apart.
I would love to know what people would do with Nick if they had the power. Fire JM and recast with a more versatile actor who’d be credible as a father to Noah and Summer? Stick him back with Sharon and play him in “Dad to the rescue” stories, maybe with Faith back full time? Drug addiction/traumatic brain injury? Career change? Lean into JM’s fratbro goofiness with more comedic stories? Or just ditch the character entirely or send him away for a while because he’s just not that interesting?
Y&R doesn’t seem inclined to do any of those options, so they float him in repetitive leading man/business stories are DOA simply to appease JM’s fans. He’s obviously not going anywhere but he feels like dead weight to me.

Been bored with the Hot 100 but Hozier just scored his first No. 1 (since “Take Me to Church” stalled at No. 2 a decade ago):

TPTB at Y&R/Sony could have nipped this in the bud 10-12 years ago, having him improve or replaced but they chose not to, perhaps they approved of what he was doing with his performance. And here things stand, with Nick seemingly unable to demonstrate a fully organic parental relationship with his adult children.
The character feels so stuck. Obviously, they want him to still be a viable leading man (he looks good) and JM has his fans, but the character is just flailing around in circles with no end in sight.
Mal tried to take him to the dark side with Nick impersonating JT and launching Dark Horse, but it was obviously a poor fit, and the return of Adam (a more authentically dark character) shortly followed once Mal was out and JG was in. At that point, they could only generate story for Nick through Adam.
We’ve done Phyllis redux with both Gina and Michelle, both flops. Had Nick/Adam vying for the same woman again, flop. They seemed to open to the door to Shick redux with the Cameron Kirsten story, but obviously something is going on with Y&R and Sharon Case.

Has anyone noticed how absent Nick is in Summer's life?
Also, you can easily forget that Abby is Victor's daughter since she never interacts with that side of her family? Not to mention, I thought it was strange that Abby was missing from the "Ashley intervention" episodes. I think part of it is that Abby as a character has never really "popped."
Abby needs to go. The show proves how inessential she is every day when they isolate her from BOTH her core families. That’s $$$ that could be used more profitably. Although a better writer would be necessary. (Hoping Steve Kent’s reported departure makes that happen…)
We talk about how Reed is missing from this Claire/Victoria reveal. This show barely acknowledges Newmans actually on the canvas outside of Victor/Nikki/Victoria/Nick or Adam when a convenient whipping boy is needed.
Nick’s relative absence in Summer’s world has been a huge WTF. Perhaps because they don’t see him as credible in that role? OK? So now what? Gonna do anything about that, folks? (I don’t mind him as Summer’s dad, but he struggles with the Noahs. He’s great with Faith but that’s age-appropriate. Too bad Faith isn’t a thing.)
This show is such a frustrating waste.
