Something most definitely happened. Guza clearly loved the character and the actor's angry out outbursts. Michael is Guza's version of a post-accident Jason, angry and lashing out. Michael got tons of unnecessary airtime and story focus. No way is this willing recast. Anyone expecting Michael's character to change is sure to be disappointed.

Damn this blows. Granted I wanna smack the hell outta Micheal most days but I think DG was great in the role. In fact he's the only reason I came to stomach Micheal cuz the red headed Chuckie doll before him made me hate the character always.

And I found a clip of the recast...FAIL! That voice :blink: I certainly can't buy him as baby gangster wannabe Micheal Corinthos, baggage and issues in tow. WTF happened over the weekend? :(

This young man may be capable of doing lots more than he has been stereotyped to do in a couple Disney movies. Christian Bale, Jodie Foster, and Kurt Russell were Disney kid stars. We won't know until he settles into the role. Btw, where very well may have been a very good reason to fire Drew Garret.

This doesn't strike me as 11th hour for some reason. They've got Michael locked up on an island for the duration of the trial. I assume nuMichael is introduced ON the island(to make the transition easier) and then bursts into the courtroom in the middle of May Sweeps to save mobster daddy dearest. I feel like it was all planned.

DAYS or B&B will snap him up. All they know how to do is hire other show's leftovers. And Y&R too. Maybe they want to rapidly age Reed. :unsure:

Weren't they all much younger than this recast is? How old is this Michael recast? He looks early 20's.

Unless something serious went down behind the scenes that we don't know about, I just don't see why they've waited a year to recast, especially after giving Garrett the frontburner treatment for so long.

Unless, this is a Tammin Sursok/Adrienne Leon situation and Disney somehow forced this recast on GH, like Sony [Kathy Griffin]allegedly[/Kathy Griffin] did with Sursok on Y&R.

    • 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.
