Not even Disney would not want to damage its Pirates franchise by having Franco do a soap. If JF really does GH, I would think that he won't get a sniff at Jack Sparrow. Nah, JF is doing this out of desperation. He is in debt to his dealer or bookie. LOL!

C'mon, jp! You know I'm a huge soap fan and wish the mainstream would take Daytime seriously for the genre that it is. But even you have to admit that there is a pecking order. Franco and Daytime soaps? That is a yawning gulf the size of the atlantic ocean. I mean, Julia Roberts always talks about how much she loves Days and Oprah is apparently a GH fan. I don't see either one of them lining up to join their soaps as a special guest star for ONE SHOW, let alone 2 months.

I would pay to see that. Franco is insanely hot. I saw him in the street filming once. INSANELY hot.

But those stars also are not in college turning down lead roles because they want to learn about film and media. those odnt take non credited, non paying roles in bit indie movies for fun, they dont do things for the experience. James Franco isnt your typical im better than you are star. Hes an actor. End of story. I gained so much respect for him after watching his shorts and reading interviews with him where he was blew off the system and hollywood. Hes real.

Neither did I -- until I saw him. Those cheekbones. And the way he walked and handled himself. Hotness.

I would love it if he messed things up at GH and left Jason and Sonny looking like the putzes they are.

Okay okay, all kidding aside. Franco was just in Cleveland a few months ago in support of some art film. I didn't go but my coworker and her daughter did and got the same impression you did. The guy truly is a sponge for experience. The type who insists on touching a hot stove just to feel the pain for himself. So I guess this does fit the profile.

See, when you put it that way, you got me all convinced! And you make me even more of a fan of his! And I already thought he was real because he did Freaks & Geeks and to this day still talks proudly about the show and the people he worked with there.

Oh, and the James Dean biopic. :lol:

LOL :lol: Technically, Greg Vaughan is still on the show so... I wouldn't mind commencing with some Vaughan-Franco interplay. Lucky and Whateverthefuck Vladimir Cassadine on opposite sides of the feud... but strangely drawn to each other?

    • The timing is strange, though. How far in advance would they normally be on location? The Achille Lauro hijacking was on October 7, 1985. Nancy had arrived in Egypt in the storyline by October 18. But the character of Hawk, Chris' Native American friend from Arizona, had already appeared onscreen by September and brought a letter telling Chris to be in Egypt by October 25th.  Why did they already have the link to Arizona before the reason to cancel the shoot in Egypt?  The dust and the jar it came in were from Egypt though. Nancy bought it there and sent it to Mac as a gift before she came back to the states and followed Chris to Arizona.
    • Actually that is not what happened. Nor is the timing right for it to have been. We learned from a WOST interview with Pete Lemay  in 2006, which can be found on YT, that it was Fred Silverman's idea to do the 90 minute show. I don't know how much you know about him but he had these amazing successes as head of daytime at both ABC & at CBS. Then he came to NBC where basically everything he touched turned NOT TO GOLD but to shite. Some of the most expensive shows ever produced up to that time were huge flops. Although even he, like a broken clock, could be right on occasion. However, as we know, he was not right about the 90 minute show. As a matter of fact, afterward,  NBC programmers, who worked FOR him, were asked why they did it & they were quoted as saying it was because they couldn't think of anything else to try. It was a stupid idea from a man who had reached the point where he was throwing anything at the wall to see if it would stick.

    • I stopped watching Another World in 1990. Simply, lost interest in the show.  I had watched the show from 1973 to 1990. The 90 minute show started the decline of AW.  NBC panicked with expanding AW due to the GH hoopla. As mentioned above, 1982 was a trainwreck for AW.  The introduction of the Shea family, the movie storyline involving Jamie, and Steve Frame favoring Rachel over Alice. The writers went into that direction due to the forgettable performance of Linda Borgeson.

    • Ive seen that theory thrown out but the one thing against it is that Leslie and her family lived in Chicago. She only came back to DC last year after her husband died. Unless they say Alan made a trip to DC and died while away, she wouldnt know about that. However I do think the angle of her finding out that Martin was involved could work as that gives her leverage against Bill too for covering it up. She'd want to get revenge on him by threatening to have him disbarred
    • What a good write-up @Errol! Nice seeing the nod to Duplaix's lead.
    • The Egypt location shoot was cancelled because of the Achille Lauro cruise ship hijacking

    • And, to me it is a little bit hilarious that AW fans all over continue to refer to it as Egyptian Dust Recently elsewhere I've been running polls. When did you stop watching AW or What storyline caused you to stop watching AW. You may be interested to know that sticking it out till the bitter end is winning by a landslide. Next highest vote getter is - no surprise - Frankie's murder. So that covers like 60% & next 20%. Then the votes drop way down to 10% and well below but a wide array of reasons are given, including but not limited to  Justine Lumina Rachel having twins at her age, how ridiculous Mac's death the 90 minute show firing JC, George R & Dwyer Hmm, I know there are a few more, in the 1%-3% range but I cannot think of what they are. Sorry, my bad. Should have made notes but I didn't know I would be posting about it. LOL!!
