Members quartermainefan Posted October 3, 2009 Members Share Posted October 3, 2009 Rick Hearst?!? He wasn't able to shine with anyone on GH even with a megawatt spotlight blinding him at full blast. He might be a decent actor (well he had two good scenes on Gh during the panic room story back in ancient times) but the guy has absolutely no charisma or screen presence. He is the living embodiment of anti-entertainment. Oh my god, thinking now to that year of Claudia and Ric and their emmy winning arsenal of acting skills boring the audience with endless discussions in Sonny's living room about I am not even sure what...it was a nightmare. He was a mightmare! She was a nightmare! They literally created the most boring scenes seen on GH in many a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 Yikes, that was harsh! You need some Ice Princess Tapes to cope with GH moving out of the 1980's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 Dude, I have been a regular watcher of GH for over 25 years and that includes the 1980s obviously. No need to be so dismissive of someone because they may have said something less than flattering about a soap idol of your or whatever. I see opinions here all the time I think are from mars, I don't make it personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 Sarah Brown and Rick Hearst are not my idols. And I never made anything personal. I was merely voicing an observation. I think you're being extremely sensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Southofnowhere Posted October 4, 2009 Members Share Posted October 4, 2009 AMC your joking right? Yes they have few black characters but that it's the rest of the show is white as sheet and straight as an arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 8, 2009 Members Share Posted October 8, 2009 According to TV Guide an ABC publicist says that James wanted to test his chops on a grueling daytime drama. He loves to explore the different types of acting that is available and had never done soaps and was interested in the amount of work soap actors do. His first airdate is November 20th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted October 9, 2009 Author Members Share Posted October 9, 2009 he has. he has done big budget films, indies, shorts, studio films, newbie directors and seasoned vets, college films, various types of theater, weekly tv... he wanted to try soaps, so he is. it is the only genre where actors work at that pace and have that much to do.

Members dragonflies Posted October 11, 2009 Members Share Posted October 11, 2009 I see nothing wrong with him wanting to work on a soap. I actually respect him more for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 I read on Serial Drama that James Franco says he's becoming addicted to GH (how diplomatic!) and that Judd Apatow is a soap fan. He must be, if his films are any indication -- they're also all about unlikeable, straight, white men/misogny/near-invisible minorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted October 22, 2009 Members Share Posted October 22, 2009 It isn't like Franco can admit that he made a terrible mistake choosing to act on crappy GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted October 29, 2009 Members Share Posted October 29, 2009 Oh for goodness sake! This isn't "a new and baffling, trend." It isn't a trend at all. (One guy isn't a trend.) Franco's bored and feels like switching it up. If I had any doubt about that, his rather strange cameo on SNL made that clear. I think its time to stop being shocked and just roll with it.
