GET OUT!

Was it a under-five gig or did it look like he will be part of a story arc on the show?

well he defiently had more than 5 lines but it wasnt a major part. He played a talk show host in one segment . It was still great to see him and he still looks great. Id love to see him on GH or AMC

I wanted GH to bring Chris Ramsey over and pair him up with Skye. They could be really good together. Its a waste of his talents to not have him on a show.

Last week they had Darlene Tejero who played original Anita Santos on AMC from '95-97. The Walter actor also had a bit part on AMC six-seven years ago as a lab tech.

I think they're purposely going after actors with soap operas in their resumes, since UB is a prime time soap. Even though she's become a noted actress in her own right, how can we forget Judith Light/Karen Wolek? "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!! I WAS A COMMON HOOKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I KNEW I had seen that Walter guy before Ugly Betty...I just couldn't remember where.

So do you remember which storyline he was a lab tech for? Was it the Jake/Adam sperm switch? I remember there being a prominent geeky guy that David and Gillian interacted with often...

Most likely. I think it was during Spermapalooza '98. Because McTavish was gone by spring '99 -- and you know she's the only one obsessed with DNA tests and paternity tests. Agnes Nixon, Elizabeth Page and Jean Passanante wrote Colby's paternity reveal surrounding Adam putzing around with Colby's stem cells, but that story wasn't the typical hijinks and quirkiness that McTavish writes that would call for that type of actor.

I don't watch Ugly Betty but I would have tuned in had I seen this earlier. I just adore Nolan and I too cannot believe he isn't on another show!

Don't worry you didn't miss much. He was in 2 scenes, with a total of about 10 lines.

That’s awesome, because we know Slesar was very detailed in crafting his mysteries. I still think Edge of Night would be an excellent reboot. Right down to that early 80’s theme. Geraldine was a great soap grande dame.
Did she play a hooker? For some reason I remember an article bringing that up. I really should read more of that unpublished book.

I still don't know what the point of that was. It seemed like there was a very, very hard push to put Jordan and Chris Beetem over at the time, and then he and the entire storyline just vanished overnight.
I actually thought Jordan/CB was quite good but I wonder what happened there. Later I remember him making a public stink about his stupid role on OLTL, in a poorly-done storyline that unfortunately proved quite prescient for today (the One Pure People white supremacist group).

Are they really doing another flash-forward?? Come on.

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

This started at OLTL and got very noticeable in its last year or two. For a time I thought it was an ingenious approach to their budget situation, but eventually key stories or veterans would have stuff just going on in the margins every 3-5 weeks (like Viki, Charlie, Dorian and David basically doing light bedroom farce that went nowhere one summer) and it wore things down. It got worse at GH when Frank came here, particularly under Carlivati who had trained himself to work with FV's taping rhythm and the stories were very, very choppy. I'd argue it was even worse in 2014-15 than it is now, with us getting vague glimpses of backburner veteran storylines (Lucy/Duke, etc.) that were apparently going on without the audience.
He still does this and it has ebbs and flows, but it's definitely been all over the shop lately. I remember when they spoiled pairing up Martin and Tracy late last year/early this one in the mags (something I dreaded) and of course that's clearly no longer happening.

Have you seen the scene where Sonny and Carly battle it out and then fúck for the first time? There is a reason I was a fan of theirs real quick back in the day. (Online fandom in that era, on USENET etc. was notably repulsed when magazine spoilers about the hatesex came out early, but as soon as I saw their big scene I changed my tune.)
Tamara allegedly did almost replace Laura maybe eight years ago around contract renewal time, but that didn't happen and we got Kim Nero. I think you know that story. I like all 3, but I'd dump anyone for Sarah Brown.

Jonas is back maybe a year later when the traumatized Cord returns. The Buchanans want him to consult on the sly and he proves no help.
I will always remember one of the last times they brought up Joe on the show, when Nash died in '08. He was about to kick off in the OR and everyone knew it, and they knew Jessica was pregnant. My first thought was the same as Viki's, which she said out loud: "He's never going to see that baby." Then she added, barely audible through Erika Slezak's sobs, "just like Joe." That stays with me, not just because of her wonderful work but because we were both thinking of Joe Riley and I was glad the show went there. Soaps can do that for decades.

I do think they need to introduce a solid youth scene. But Tyrell, Jessica and ol' Sammy (who sadly should be recast*) are not enough.
Hopefully they have seen the response to Donnell and will bring him back posthaste. I'd be extremely into a serious romance SL with him and someone, moreso than Ty and Jessica though I do like them.
(*Alternately send Samantha off to college or boarding school, then bring the actress back in a bit and let the age be more indeterminate when you do. Soap fans are very forgiving about that.)

She's been "dead" before, and so has Sheila, Taylor (x2), Macy and Finn.... So, I won't get too excited just yet.
