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?

    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
