Members Khan Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Guess this solves one of Jamey Giddens's blind items (specifically, the one about the soap hyping the crap out of landing "name" stars but for extremely short runs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Pretty much like Y&R itself these days, all hype and no substance... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Yes, but that wasn't my point. My point is that he was really attractive back then, imo. A person who is ugly now may have looked better 20 years ago, but that doesn't mean they were ever really all that. Anyway, I'm neutral on this news. I don't think it will help or hurt the show either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 well James Franco has an actual career (and I know who he is) yet he did a one month stint on GH and is returning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 At least Roberts probably won't cause a ratings dive as Franco did. I think the first time I noticed Roberts looking rough was when he started overtanning in the late 90s. He looked pretty decent before then. After that I stopped seeing him in anything.

Members Sylph Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Cheap, that's your problem. Not Eric's. He's a bigger name than Franco. It's actually scandalous that you have no idea who he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 It wasn't Franco that caused a ratings nosedive it was the idiotic storyline they gave him. Most weren't interested in Jaysus as part of it. This sounds boring, have no interest in Adam he needs to go clink boom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 I think so too. ER has had a career that spans over 30 years. He may not be an A lister, but neither is Franco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Shameless Mariah plug-in - because Eric is in it: <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value=" name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 The difference is Franco was a lead in his story, from what we know about Roberts' role, he's a secondary supporting character that's an attorney. Franco was no bit character on GH, this attorney looks like one. You may not know who he is, but he's had a pretty long career, and I don't think he comes for cheap (no pun intended).

Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 I don't mind Eric Roberts. I liked him on Less than Perfect. And I wouldn't mind him on this show, if the character really seemed to have any point? I mean its not like this role SCREAMS "Eric Roberts should play this!"...It seems like anyone could play it, and Eric will be a background character who will fizzle as soon as Adam walks (which I'm sure he will).

Members Sylph Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 I actually think this role fits him like a glove. He looks like an attorney. And can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Trash typically seeks its own kind, I see... I agree with this, but this role is essentially a nothing role, so he'll be wasting his time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 Maybe he's needs fast, quick coke money? And he'll get paid probably about a week or two after he tapes. Maybe he knows Maria Bell through her art and/or Republican circles and she called on him for a favor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 17, 2010 Members Share Posted June 17, 2010 LOL, bellcurve & Turner are making him look penniless. But how can he be when he has 12 projects in the works?! Yeah. Kind of like Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
