Members carolineg Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 For some reason I recall hearing he thought Alexis was too old for Jax but I could be wrong. I don't think they said Mr. Alcazar, but they did say she was with an international arms dealer so it generally tracks. Her saying, "i am worth the wait" is so soapy and is why she is my queen forever lol. I can't find it on you tube, but I am 99.9% sure it's there somewhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 That was the one I heard as well. They tried their best to sell Jax/Chloe, and Chloe in general. Nothing ever worked. I imagine the failure is one of the reasons Ingo left (too late - he probably should have left with Vanessa) for a failed attempt at primetime. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 It's there. That's right about the arms dealer. So when they did bring on Alcazar in '02, I remember being very impressed with the show bc I had remembered the details of that cameo very clearly re: an arms dealer/powerful man Brenda was with. Many shows tend to shrug that kind of detail off when exiting stars either leave, are hinted to return, etc. (I'm not sure if GL ever explained how Josh saw Reva on a tourist video, for example) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yup, in 2000 for the abysmal Titans - and he was back on GH not long after it was canceled. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Thanks for finding that! I knew it was there I was just using stupid keywords I guess lol. Everything really lined up overall with the Brenda return stuff as if GH actually thought about it. Jax burning the test results in 1998, the arms dealer rescuing her, Brenda's tendency to love shady characters like Sonny, her fear of going insane etc basically worked. Jax is apparently the world's worst private investigator since he literally had her in 2000 and came up with nothing until she showed up at his door 2 years later. I am not going to lie. I liked Titans lol. I was bummed it got cancelled so quick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 The cast was pretty good, but the writing wasn't. I think they were going for a campy vibe but it fell flat. If I'm not mistaken, this was Aaron Spelling's first show since the cancellation of SUN the previous year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) As I recall, someone thought Alexis was too old for Jax. I’m not sure who it was. At that point Ingo should have been so lucky. Edited September 26, 2021 by titan1978 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yeah, I thought the cast was good and the promos were good. The writing wasn't great, but it wasn't really given a chance. I think it could have gelled given a full season. So Ingo and NLG are 15 years!! apart in age. I didn't realize it was that much. He was still a fairly hot commodity in 1999/2000 so I could see network interference on that and maybe not IR. To be fair, I never thought Alexis looked that much older than Jax and it never bothered me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Titans felt stilted to me, but I think the problem was mostly timing. The failure of Pacific Palisades a few years earlier, in spite of a starry cast and real promotion, should have told them that era for glossy primetime soaps was over. The next primetime soap to be a "hit" was The OC, which tried to have a more faux-edgy vibe...and even that only got attention for about a year.

Members Vee Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 The only thing I remember about Titans is crushing on Kevin Zegers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Pacific Palisades was boring. Sorry Finola! Titans was much glossier and had more potential. I agree the primetime soap was dead by then but I think the cast was pretty good. Josie Davies has always been a miss for me in every role though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Even Charles in Charge? Please register in order to view this content I remember that Ingo was in a triangle with her and her alcoholic sister. It was pretty messy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Lol I almost said everything except Charles in Charge. I remember Aaron Spelling really trying to make her a thing with her appearances in 90210 and she always annoyed me. Like David was going to pick her over Donna lol. I don't know something about her bugs me. Tbh, Ingo wasn't terribly memorable in Titans either, but he looked hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 Her screen credits have been pretty sparse in recent years, but supposedly she's been doing more behind the scenes. She does have a few writing and producing credits on imdb. Ingo wasn't memorable on Titans, but to be fair not that many people were. Yasmine Bleeth was possibly the only memorable cast member. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted September 26, 2021 Members Share Posted September 26, 2021 I always think Perry King is an unsung hero of Spelling soaps. From Brooke's dad/Alison's hubby on Melrose to the Patriarch in Titans. I remember him and Victoria Principal. I also remember Casper Van Dien because he was so bad lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
