DOOL: Actor to Return?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I wouldn't want Jennifer dead -- not even "DAYS-dead" -- b/c, as the daughter of Bill and Laura, the sister of Michael and Lucas, and the aunt of Jeremy and Sami and Lucas' twins, she's an important "legacy character."

A recast, though, might help diehard fans accept Jack & Jennifer apart.

But, WHATEVER they do, I pray the show acts wisely, and cautiously. They really cannot risk any more viewer alienation right now.

I'd be glad to have Matt Ashford back as Jack Deveraux, but Jack better return with a Nu-Jennifer. Melissa Reeves has been gone long enough IMHO for a try at a re-cast. I think an actress with soap experience, such as Kristina Wagner(ex-Felicia Jones, GH), Sandra Ferguson (ex-Amanda Cory, AW, ex-Felicia Jones, GH), Jensen Buchanan(ex-Vicky & Marley Hudson, AW/ATWT, ex-Sarah Buchanan, ONE LIFE, et.al>) or Jessica Tuck (ex-Megan Harrison, ONE LIFE) would be good in the role and accepted. The role was successfully re-cast once before, since the actress stayed in the role for about 2-3 years (although I thought the show should've went with a name actress).

I wouldn't be opposed to Jack/Billie: Ashford and Julie Pinson have chemistry. B)

If they want Matt Ashford back, it might be better to break up Jack/Jen in some way, because I doubt Missy Reeves will return to soaps.

Yes Phoenix, Sheffer writing for Jack Deveraux would be interesting - hopefully a darker and slightly more devious character, which Matt Ashford would do so well. :D

I would gladly accept a recast and my list of choices is pretty much the same as yours. I don't think it's needed though. It's hard because a part of me wants Jack and Billie explored but the other part thinks breaking up J&J could hurt the show alot.

If Jack returns alone, I would love to see Hogan go the dark route with Jack, like Evan mentioned. He could still be a reported but I think they can take Jack down a dark path. It would be interesting.

Jen is a millstone around Jack's neck. Never could stand her with Jack, loved her with Frankie. They are the two who belong together. Jack doesn't need anyone to come back, just Jack and a decent story for him. With his siblings on the show and friends, he can really fit and work well.

No Abby. She is dullsville, no personality, no fun. There are too many young girls already.

SO HOT! I have thought a Jack/Billie pairing would be a great idea ever since the Lisa Rinna/Countess Wilhelmina days when Jack was ghostwriting that novel. I would like him even more with Julie Pinson's Billie. IF this ever happened, I would hope they do it slowly, with them continuing as friends for awhile. Maybe Jack could work as an investigator for Billie's security company. There are a lot of story options for Jack--especially with Steve. I'd love to see them onscreen together again.

I liked Jennifer but would have a difficult time with anyone but Missy in the role. If she's not going to come back, then we could still have Jack. Abby I'm ambivalent about. IMO, she was kind of boring. The writers need to give her a personality makeover--but NOT like the one Stephanie received.

    • Irna wanted to use cities around Chicago to represent the cities around Cincinnati, where P&G's international Headquarters are, so it was by intent.  Here's the YT

    • Hump Day Thoughts Let me start with the snark: I can accept that John's memorial will be held at the pub—but I do not believe that a man who spent years thinking he was a priest (and fought the devil twice) wouldn’t have wanted a church funeral. It’s not the choice of venue that bothers me—it’s the casual, throwaway dialogue that pulls me out of the moment. That said, I was genuinely riveted by the scenes of everyone catching Bo up on what he’s missed. His sense of shock and grief felt earned. Imagine waking up to find that so many people you loved had died—and that you’d caused so much pain to your wife and son. That brief moment of overwhelm was beautifully played. (Of course, IRL, someone would’ve eventually told him: “Honestly, Bo, you were lucky to sleep through the Ron C. years.”

      ) Also, kudos to Hope for maintaining Bo’s beard, haircuts, and dye jobs all these years. I actually found it realistic. Many families of coma patients do keep up with grooming, partly as a way to pass time at the bedside. And let’s be honest: in real life, a lot of bearded men wake up clean-shaven because the machines require it… or because their wives secretly hated the beard all along. Props to Brandon Beemer today for stepping up and showing more emotional range than his usual “intensity mode.” It added depth, and it was needed. As for the chatter about the gay quad. I’ve read the comments, and I get the appeal, but I’ve never been a Paul fan. The guy’s just a drip. Not for me.  
    • Honestly Mona shouldn’t even matter. Shanice freaking talked to Leslie. But no one seems to think to show her the footage or picture of Leslie? It’s such a stupid glaring hole.  
    • Delusional Dani would view it as hope... but realistically, it's being cordial and adult...  something they both need to do.  Especially if Naomi and Chelsea ever decide to have children... it would be nice to have them being mature around one another and their kids and grandkids.   Kat needs to simmer down and let the police do their job.  I can excuse the coat and trying it on because she didn't know that it was previously Silk Press Sheila's... but the way she was with Mona when Mona was asked to ID the person in the video was Kat 'leading the witness on'. Even Mona said that she was now more then determined to see if Leslie/Dana was on the camera.   So a defense attorney could paint Mona as an unreliable witness.
    • Even though I can firm a map of Michigan (that included Bay City) was used on the show, I still never heard Michigan referred to in any of the dialogue -- ever.  So the map doesn't really make it canon, in my opinion.  That map was probably supplied by the prop-guy, and he might not have even told TPTB that he was going to use an identifiable state map.  On the other hand, there were hints that it was in Michigan, with references to cold winters, etc.  And on Somerset, a nearby city was Lansing.  But I don't recall Lansing ever being mentioned on AW, but perhaps it was.   I do wish TPTB would have made AW's canonical location in Michigan.  First, because many fans already believed it was in Michigan, and because eventually putting all the remaining P&G soap opera cities in Illinois was silly and pointless.  Variety is the spice of live, my dears.  
    • Yea, that's been nice to watch this week.

      date: Wednesday, June 4 | Sara A. Bible, Danielle Paige | Phideaux Xavier Anita is definitely lost in space. The space of her own mind and history. Oh, hello, miss eye-sex at the bar of Uptown! I see you eye-sexing Ms Chelsea! We love to see it. Shanice stopped Dana dead in her tracks. Good on her. It comes out: Barbara was the fourth Articulette, started the group, came up with the name, etc. Dante Greene is about to become the most hated man to exist in this universe, and that's a high-level position that many covet. I appreciate seeing Anita own up to her wrongdoings and that Vernon is still by her side. So, Sharon wants to use Anita for her own benefit, and that does surprise me. That ugliness is right there. At least Tracy, outwardly, seems more open to forgiving Anita and reuniting for the one-off concert. I had a feeling it might've been a stroke (or mini-stroke) but did not want to admit it. It hits close to home for me. Very close. Oh, that glimmer and gleam in Bill's eye and that ever-so-slight smirk on his face of Dani checking on him at the hospital. Yeah. He's still got it for her. Vernon continues to be a wise man with some wisdom unlike any other, and I love that he's getting through to Anita. Ugh. Sharon, you're ugly, ugly, ugly. You will reap what you sow. That's right, child bride, watch the woman that knows your husband better than you ever could. Katherine, mama, sit down and be careful. Now this is in the firm hands of Jacob and the police department. Dana, barking up Andre's tree. She works fast. Like a bitch in heat, fast. The one thing Tracy has with Anita that unites them is their love for Barbara and acknowledging her as part of the Articulette's history. Andre, you big dumb dumb. You never saw the suspect the footage before the police can. Ugh. Notes: For the first time in a while, we see Tide and get a commercial right after.
