Members Darn Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 I had no idea they were using him that much. And yeah, smart move GH, don't pair him with one of the few popular couplings you have left on the canvas. Seriously, Lucky and Liz fans are STILL in the desire demographic you want and they've gone nearly a decade without the true Lucky and Liz as a couple. CATER TO THEM. Idiots.

Members Marley Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 Good riddance! I was one of the people ecstatic when it was announced that he was to return and now I can't stand the sight of his face. JJ is overrated and asexual (like his onscreen sister). I'd rather they didn't recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members KMan101 Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 I don't blame him. He's had really heavy material. It's also too bad someone higher up doesn't seem to want Lucky and Liz. I think Guza destroyed them, but I still liked them and was hoping they'd get back together. It's really strange how both of Liz's VERY popular pairings (LnL/Liason) don't seem to be well liked behind the scenes, despite actor's wanting it and fans wanting it.

Members dragonflies Posted November 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's obvious Frons has never wanted L&L2. I'd venture a huge guess he's behind the constant Liz bashing in the writing too. RH fans are getting an FU for saving her job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 This is a shocker. I thought he would stay to the end. I wonder why they would not pair Lucky with Liz? I thought Guza talked about drawing on the memories of Lucky and Liz before he was sent packing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 No one knows the real reasons. An insider dropped months ago that a FB actor would be gone in the fall and it would be made to look as if it was his choice. I don't think they renewed his contract and had no intention of and I think its all money and nothing else. Its assinine they didn't do LL2 but thats GH. They have wasted many many returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 I would guess the lack of L&L2 is down to Frons, given the rumors that he's never cared for Herbst. All I can do is think back to the fans who acted like L&L2 had to be separated because Liz was such a horrible burden to Lucky's character, and now he could find true love with the cipher Siobhan. And what does that get? An actor walking out on the show. If JJ left then he must REALLY be unhappy, because for an actor with young children to voluntarily leave in this economy, and when actors have less work than ever, is striking. They botched his return from the very first day. All they did was ruin the memories of the many viewers who loved L&L2 and who loved Luke and Lucky as father and son. What did those viewers get for their loyalty? They got Luke killing Lucky's son and all but bragging about it. They got Lucky telling Liz that the only reason she was ever worthwhile to him was because she was bleeding in the snow after being raped. I was never a fan of this actor, but I do feel very bad for those who were. This was one of the worst soap returns of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marley Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 Since JJ returned I've always gotten the feeling that he was just there to collect a paycheck and save up some money before he tries to break through in whatever it is he really wants to do. I also don't really get the heavy work load excuse. He wasn't featured that much for it to be a burden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 In that case I'm surprised he wouldn't stay to the end, since GH probably won't be on by this time next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 UHm to refresh everyones memory, TV Guide was also the one who said GV quit GH and JJ just happened to be available ironically at that time. GH has 16 dark weeks a year now, Lucky is on what 2 days a week maybe. If he's too tired from his "hectic" schedule then he's not suited to soaps anymore because the pace is likely faster than when he worked last go around or the entire thing is BS. IA his storylines have been awful but someone name me anyone on GH who doesn't have an awful storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 I do find it more believable that JJ was fired or that GH was not planning to renew his contract anyway. Oh well, he made some coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rlj Posted November 7, 2011 Members Share Posted November 7, 2011 Err, he was paired with RH when he first arrived and it sucked, his chem test with Maya didnt pan out, and dont get me started on the hot mess with Siobhan. The man lacks any type of romantic or sexual presence with the woman he is opposite with on screen. I dont remember but did he do any love scenes because I heard JJ dont like doing love scenes or shirtles scenes? I didnt even enjoy his scenes oppsite TG, but that was more the writing and subject of the scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
