Members MoTheGreat Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 How can they blame something on AJ when Sonny treat women way worse then AJ could ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Agreed. People like to say things about AJ, but if I was Carly, AJ would definitely look MILES better as a father than Sonny. Aj was just misunderstood, and suffered from being second to pretty boy jason, he wasnt (originally) a bad person. It wasnt til Jason became this "god" guza considers him that AJ was a truly bad person. Blame Michael's problems on SONNY. Everyone likes to say SONNY is his REAL father...If that's the case, STOP using AJ as an excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Damn, this [!@#$%^&*] sucks. I was looking forward to seeing Drew grow in the role. I hope he gets his well deserved Emmy and tells GH to suck it. As far as I'm concerned, he's really the only good "younger actor" in daytime.

Members Faulkner Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 +1. Could not agree more. He was selling the shite out of some pretty bad material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 At least you won't have to see him become the new Tyler Christopher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Maybe they recast the role because they want to take the character in a softer and...less self-destructive direction? The way Drew Garrett was playing it, sometimes you wondered whether we were supposed to have sympathy for the guy who bludgeoned his stepmother(granted, the stepmother that murdered him) with an axe. It makes perfect sense why they would ship Michael off to an island to cool his head. Maybe there were notes from above Guza's head that Michael was too hard or not remorseful enough. But that's not Drew's fault. The direction Guza was initially going in, I often wondered if they were gonna do Dante as nuJason and Michael as nuAJ. Now, they may be getting ready to play Michael as the teen romantic hero as opposed to wannabe thug always looking for daddy's approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Tyler Christopher at least started out good(ish), Drew Garrett didnt even have that to claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Drew Garrett needs to get hired again somewhere and fast. No one should look like Tyler "Diet of Terducken and Jack Daniels" Christopher unless they're a.)out of work or b.) over 30 on General Hospital.

Members DRW50 Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 What I really meant was that Tyler started out as being very hyped, praised for his look and his intensity and his raw talent. Then it all went away and viewers are stuck seeing this bloated, orange mess on their screen, The Thing Cassadine. At least fans of Drew won't have to see him possibly go that route. GH is a show that caters so much to their pets, their pets become very lazy and let themselves go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bellcurve Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 God, strike me dead, because I'm gonna sound like MarkH, but if ANYONE could have sold a "REDEMPTION ARC" for Michael, it was Drew. And not just because he's been in the role for a year. But because, as Faulkner said, he can sell it. And Carl, I understand what you mean about GH and their "pets," but I don't know what this new Michael will accomplish that the other one won't?

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 Maybe (and I doubt it), the powers behind GH realized how bad the messed up Michael, and recasting him was the best option to them. I doubt that's the reason. I'm more inclined to belived Drew was a total lunatic, and people were sick of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 22, 2010 Members Share Posted March 22, 2010 I don't think he will accomplish anything different. I think Michael is a worthless character no matter who plays him. He's tied to soul-destroying mobsters and to the basically dead Quartermaine family. I think in the show's mind, people may have associated Garrett too much with the Michael who wanted to be just like Sonny, who was an unrepentant murderer, who hates women so much that he almost beat up Robin and Liz. I think that his stories came across in a much uglier fashion on TV than it may have in their heads. So if they want to make Michael into a more traditional younger leading man (and that's just my spec), they may think he needs a change of face to go along with a change of personality. If Michael's story doesn't change, then I guess they either just had some sudden problem with Garrett, or he just quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
