B&B: Rick spoiler from TV Guide


Recommended Posts

Brad Bell is no fool, he snatched up emmy winner Jacob Young and will have the popular actor air on September 26th-the Monday after AMC ends its run.

Young will be seen again as fashion-house scion Rick Forrester, the role he played from 97-99. Brad Bell says "those were great times with Jacob, and he's an even more exciting, intense and unpredictable actor now"

Bell insists he's not bringing Young in to "take over and steal the show". That they will slowly immerse Rick back into the Forrester family so viewers can remember and appreciate him

Rick will eventually team up with brother Thorne, in a vicious battle with Ridge over control of Forrester Creations, and that'll force Rick's mom to choose sides.

Also look for Rick to reconnect with his skanky ex-wife Amber. To set up that story, Bell will replay lots of juicy footage from 1998 when Amber was two-timing Rick by sleeping with Raymond, who was played by up and coming super star Usher

Im really shocked that he'd side with Team Taylor. I would think that he would resent her kids for taking what he might percieve to be his birthright. With them possibly in control, I thought he'd try to join Ridge and Brooke

As far as Rick and Amber? Ewww. I cant see Rick with her now as she's so trashy and worthless. It kinda made sense when he was a naive kid growing up, but where as he has grown up, she most certainly as not and is jsut an embarassment

Good point, but there's some pretense of new stories with the Forresters because of their kids. It's not real, but it's a pretense. With Amber, they just take out a story they did ten years ago, a very specific story, and change the names and the ending. It's as if Stephanie was hiding another long-lost daughter, played by Changela.

    • I think Riche sets a tone almost immediately for the type of show she wanted "General Hospital" to be. Even if the stories weren't always the strongest, the stories were rooted in human emotion. No matter who was writing in those early years, the characters seem to connected and invested in the world around them. There are stakes. I think even in some of the weaker stories, there is something to find of value. Actions had impact and often ripples across the canvas. Romance was also back. Characters relationships were central to the drama. There is a feeling of community in Port Charles. All of this was in place by the time that Labine and team arrive and run with it.   Part of me thinks that it was for the best that Robert and Anna left when they did. It forced Riche to shift the show away from the action and adventure stories that had been the show's staple and required the humanity to be returned. Bringing the hospital back to the forefront was very smart. Characters who were ignored were given material of substance. I do think Riche leaned into her TV movie background and, at times, the stories may not have seemed like soap opera stories. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.  Personally, any episode from 1992-1993 is stronger than the material I've seen in 1990-1991.  @DeliaIrisFan I looked at the summaries again. Bill inherited land from Fred Eckert which he used to get into business with Harlan Barrett. My apologies. 
    • As rough as the Riche transition was, I personally enjoyed Ryan/Felicia/Mac, the younger set, and Scotty/Lucy/Dom more than anything during Monty’s second run.  And I was a fan of Anna/Robert being paired and Faison. But Riche got in a groove and it just got better with Labine.
    • Freddie is an utterly pointless character, especially with his mother not returning anytime soon. Bobby Brazier is very likeable, but similar to the rest of EE these days, I just feel no connection.
    • Haha no doubt Moses was sexy and he was the good boy contrast to bad boy Lance. Actually one of my favorite Season 2 stories was when Cole was living with Joanna Cassidy’s character I wish the show had been willing to flesh out that story more. The whole Melissa/Cole/Robin story that ran for 2 seasons was pretty disgusting and  I can see why Moses quit because of it even though he was clearly willing to come back if the show could at least give Cole an interesting story. Instead we got Dan Fixx.    I actually was going to mention that as at the time Moses seemed so much older that Courtney Thorne Smith at the time lol. Keith Gray was really MP’s first dark and memorable villain especially at a time the show was transitioning into a full blown soap with Amanda’s arrival and Michael divorcing Jane to be with Kimberly. It was a sign of the times though. My teen self was shocked by that final season of Dallas with the Hagman/Eden reunion be a nasty affair while innocent 80’s geek Anthony Michael Hall had a turn as the nasty bully villain in Edward Scissorhands.
