reminded me of that annoying kid who played Ben on GL. Ugh, I just looked him up and he died by suicide..how sad.

Oh what actor was that?? As I far as knew Gregory Burke was still alive.

IIRC, TPTB blamed Korver for the Chris/Abigail pairing not sparking and suggested he didn't share ANY chemistry with ANY female on the show. That's why they let him go.

Ugh I remember that. Not long after they brought in some recast named Alan White and boy he was TERRIBLE. Largely to close out the Chris/Abigail/Adam triangle (when Lucy Johnson infamously ordered Craig Lawlor’s dismissal, but that’s a whole other story)

Unlike others I didn’t mind Bailey Chase in the role of Chris, although he was probably too old be in a triangle with barely legal Alison and Aaron and Chris being a doctor all of the sudden was weird. He also had some surprising chemistry with KMH, but Hogan lost interest and ended up writing out Chris while Chase went on to have a fairly decent career.

As for the actress who played Abigail…ehhhh. Definitely lacking spark her contemporaries had and even other younger cast members from that era. She was way more memorable when she was on Passions a few years later LOL.

Ben Jorgensen, who played Chris.

Kristina Sisco (?)'s best work as Abigail was when she returned briefly in 2009 or 2010 and Molly learned that she was having an affair with a married man and she blamed herself for her patterns transferring to her daughter. That whole arc with Molly was much better than anything else on the show at the time.

Thanks I was confused for a second as I knew Jorgeson had passed but thought he was talking about one of the Ben Reade actors.

I remember really enjoying Molly’s return arc as well and I do remember Abigail’s brief return too. We never found out what happened to Adam and her which was probably for the best given what the show had done to Adam already.

The show trashed Adam so much, which was very typical of that last decade. I can't remember if he had some quasi-redemption at the end.
