Jonathan really surprised me in that role, which I did not think would suit him the way it did the more conventionally rugged GV. But he worked very well I thought, not just in that role but opposite Dominic. He managed to marry that unusual calling to the past Lucky of his youth. I think together Lucky and Dante could've been Luke and Scorpio for a new generation, but the poor writing and other BTS biases and issues ended that entire setup and crashed the creative team in place, in addition to driving JJ away.
We have all seen plenty of soap cops but I just find Chase a vacant, placid manchild. We're not exactly dealing with Hal Munson, let alone Derek Mallory or even John McBain. I am not interested in watching Chase check with Mummy before solving cases. I would have him around for a good time, not a long time and then you can bring more cappable folks in. Be it someone new, or Lucky or someone like WSB agent Annie Donely.
Ironically I would actually try BLQ (be it Setton or someone willing to dress like they haven't been in mourning for 5 years) in some fun high society murder mystery caper a la A Simple Favor or Knives Out, but using Chase in that capacity never crossed my mind lol. That's how bland he is to me.
