I didn't care for Hunter Allen personally.

I hope the show doesn't have him at 20 that is to far of a gap People always seem to think that an actors age is how old they will be playing.

Michael Graziadei is what late 20's and playing an early 20 something.

I can buy him as being 16...poor Hunter...that kid wasn't a bad actor, he sort of nailed the spoiled brat thang that had been written for him.

MAB better not SORAS Abby....that's one soap kid that needs to be played by the same adorable little actress forever (classic Abby line: I OWN JABOT!!!!!)

Aging him doesn't seem necessary at all. Oh well.

Right, but when I look at MG, I see a guy in his late 20's. Just like when I look at TL, I see a guy in his 30's. No matter what age the show tries to tell me someone is, my brain tends to register what I'm really seeing. That's why I said I wish they had hired an actual 16 year old for the role.

I actually think MG does look pretty young. Especially with his silly wardrobe and hair styles. lol.

Noah is born early 1997 so he should be 11 and 1/2. Now, he will be 16 I think. I don't think it is the worst case of SORAS. Joshua Morrow was hired in 1994 to play Nick who was supposed to be 5 year old !

I could really care less about the SORASing. As it was said before, this isn't the most dramatic recast. The only thing that I'm worried about is the storyline for the teens. If they try to find a new teen scene, I hope it will be interesting. All other teen storylines (mostly) delivered good stuff, and I don't want to see that ruined. Just as long as there's something interesting, I'll be fine with it.

BTW, did anyone see how Kevin looked 5 years ago? Talk about drastic changes...

WHAT???? OMG, what a stupid move. This means that Cassie & Noah are the same age? If she was alive though

Exactly and I'm sorry, but I do like it when what I see on the screen actually makes some sense. Nick and Sharon do not look like they could have a 20 year old. I cannot stand Sharon, but she does not look like she could have a 25 year old daughter. Just because it's been done in other instances does not mean I have to embrace each new instance of this foolishness, especially in cases when there isn't a pressing need. This could have easily waited another two years.

Except I never would have thought Stafford could play mother to Graziadei...but it totally works for me now. The actors pull it off.

Was Hunter that great to the point where we need him to be casted on another soap? As far as soap children go I don't see how they can have such a huge impact on the audience. Especially when they don't drive story, have lines or aren't even apart of storylines.

I thought Hunter was just terrific...one of the best kids ever on daytime IMO...but I wouldn't follow him to GH for anything :-(

the actor is 19. doesnt mean Noah will be 19. I could buy this dude as a 16 yearold.

That's what I bet too.

I can buy him as being 16...poor Hunter...that kid wasn't a bad actor, he sort of nailed the spoiled brat thang that had been written for him.

MAB better not SORAS Abby....that's one soap kid that needs to be played by the same adorable little actress forever (classic Abby line: I OWN JABOT!!!!!)

I agree about Hunter being written bratty.

I wouldn't mind a SORAS'd Abby...Victor with a rebellious teen girl just tickles me.

They better not SORAS Blabby Abby! Or I'll start a picket line at the studio!

LOL. That's how I feel about Hunter.

But Sharon & Nick are so much younger than Nikki & Victor when their children got speed-soras-ed, at least with Nick.

No, many agree with you, but I don't

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

BTG: December 2025 Discussion Thread

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
