I think Bergin was before Antonio. A google search has Antonio taking over as the main image in 1996, which lines up with my memory. He didn’t do it until after GH. So the show may be wrong about a lot, but I think it got how big a deal it was for Bergin to get that contract when he did as Marky Mark’s successor to CK. CK was incredibly significant at that time for men’s fashion when it came to pop culture.

Thanks! I thought ASJ did it while on GH. I had no idea he was actually Bergin's successor. I am not sure why everyone thought ASJ was going to be the next star while he was on GH then. It couldn't have been his acting lol although he was insanely hot back then.

For whatever reason, people in the '90s really kept trying to make ASJ happen.

It has to be his looks. He wasn't the worst actor on GH or anything, but he isn't a good actor either. I actually don't solely blame him for the Melrose Place debacle because that was just a stupid part. I thought he did the best on Night Shift and am actually surprised he didn't make it over to the main show after. I guess knowing what we know about him now it does make more sense.

I tend to blame it on that video he made with Janet Jackson, with industry people not realizing it was Janet who made that video "hot," not him, lol.
