I don't find the GH newbies ugly. They are different than the newcomers of the type you find on OLTL playing Ford or playing Scott on AMC, but I find something very charming and sexy about Nathan Parsons with his physical grace and his lack of soap opera hair and all that. He is never going to be confused with Greg Vaughan or the guy who plays Brody on OLTL, but I find him far more sexy than say the kid who plays Will on DOOL. (and I have no idea how old that guy is, just saying he seems sexless)

DZ has a good body I guess, and he is sort of handsome too, but he is also different. Scott Reeves is ridiculously handsome I think, always was, and it is like he could have starred in movies of the 1950s with his unrealistic Hollywood look. I am gonna miss Drew Garret because I thought he was good. He also had great eyes I think. His face seems more interesting than the new guy, anyway.

I liked DG, thought he was great as Michael. Michael is supposed to be crazy and have mad issues, is parents are Carly and AJ, and he was raised by Sonny and Jason.

I just Youtubed CD, and he is a good looking dude :) I hope he can act.

There is a funny Youtube Vid with him and this guy who hand farts :lol:

Drew Garrett was really great, and he and Sarah Brown singlehandedly saved that horrible Michael kills Claudia plot point towards the end. Everyone had seemingly given up, but Drew really stepped up and proved himself during that time.

Not to mention, the boy could cry on cue, and it never felt fake to me! I thought he was a true find.

Like bellcurve said, I hope he gets that Daytime Emmy in a few months, because out of all the younger actors on daytime last year (though there weren't many), he more than proved his talent.

Shocked that GH fired Drew Garrett, since he was obviously a GH golden boy, due to his all of his airtime. Garrett must've really done something bad. Duell, the new Michael looks like a good re-cast to me. We'll see on 4-20. Hopefully GH will put in Duell's pic on that date, and add Scott Reeves(Steven)and Brianna Brown(Lisa).

I just wonder why they wanted to recast this part. Garrett wasn't a bad actor, he had a fan following, and he's carried storyline for a year already.

I'm guessing Guza totally wants to reinvent the character or something. Sucks because Garrett was such a solid younger actor. Though, if Guza's recent history is any indication, this reinvention shouldn't be anything to look forward to.

DAYS would probably never go the gay route, but I can definitely see Garret playing Sami's son should they want to make him into a male equivalent of what Sami was in her teens. Hell, he'd even be good for the current incarnation of the character.

Hopefully, Drew Garrett can land another role soon. Though, I'm afraid he won't, since he has such a unconventional "look" and isn't the typical soap or primetime heartthrob. He has a very realistic look, which went well with his acting.

This recast just makes no sense to me.

I think Michael was exactly what Guza wanted. I wonder if this was an intervention from on high. I don't buy that Guza wanted any Quartermaines brought in, or any black people. If Frons wanted some of that, then he may want a less edgy Michael, and this was his way of making that happen.

Garrett looked like a mini Steve Burton. I doubt Guza would have wanted to get rid of his man-crush's mini-me.

I don't think Guza wants to reinvent anything. Michael has always bee seen as the "troubled child" ever since the days of the Damian lookalike -- partly because of the way Sonny and Carly raised him and partly because he is the spawn of "evil seed" AJ. And Drew Garrett played him perfectly the way Guza wanted. Everything about him was spot on, including the physicality. In fact, I'll give it to Mark Teschner and GH: ALL the kids (Kristina, Michael, Morgan and Molly) have been stellar castings.

Something must have happened behind the scenes. This strikes me as an eleventh-hour recast.

      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.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      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.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      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.
