B&B: Actor taken off contract

I will admit she is starting to grow on me. For some reason, I realized this in the Anthony/Tracy wedding episode.

I agree! I have wanted Deacon back for so long. That would be a nice way to shake things up on the show too and it can give Brooke an actual story outside of filler. Besides, Y&R is doing the character no favors.

Deacon would be great.

Macy, I can live without.

There is already plenty of characters on the canvas that need attention. FELICIA, Thorne, Thomas, Taylor, Dayzee come to mind. Thorne should take over Spectra by rights, his daughter Alexandria has a strong Spectra connection.

As for Jack Wagner, I liked him when he first came on, but Brad Bell blew a promising Brooke-Nick relationship. And since then, he has been chemistry poison. Better that he return to GH -- and work on supporting Heather Locklear so that she get some help.

I think all Deacon would end up doing is being paid to break up Hope/Liam again.

I'd ditch Taylor and Thomas - Thomas has never worked, and Taylor lost most of her purpose a long time ago.

Felicia will never have a story again...I think someone at B&B decided Ridge would be diminished if any other Forrester sibling had any presence on the show.

I'd love to see Macy again but even if they don't bring her back (and I doubt they will), they do need another strong female character in that age range. Hanging your entire show on Steffi and Bill repeating the same lines every episode isn't going to work forever.

I knew that the big storyline B&B had with Massimo revealed as Ridge's father would turn out to be a COLOSSAL mistake. IMO, it was always the show's major Jump The Shark moment and now, the Marones have absolutely no presence on the show (no surprise there) so the reveal was ultimately pointless.

Either way, I'm glad to see Jack Wagner go. I haven't cared for him since his first GH run and even then, I preferred Felicia with Colton Shore (my aunt watched so when I'd spend the night at my grandparents' house, I'd watch with her). The Marones have been an albatross of boring since their arrival (save Jackie, though she's not a blood Marone and that's who I'm referring to).

If B&B did 2 things, I'd be hooked all over again:

1. Re-pair Brooke/Thorne and realllly explore what could be a dynamite triangle (not a quad- I'd prefer Taylor not be involved or axed completely

and

2. Make Bill & Steffy the power couple that they should be and continue building the Katie/Steffy rivalry

Simple as that

IMO, good news! B&B needs to let some people go. Like Nick, Jackie, Owen and Oliver. 4 good choices by B&B. They brought nothing interesting to the table. I hope that Bridget will stay gone too.

Next I would get rid of Donna, Marcus, Dayzee, Pammie, and yes, Taylor! There, I said it.

Justin can stay on, Bill needs someone to talk his actions out with that is on his side. But as far as I can see, that is the only thing Justin is good for.

I would bring back Deacon ASAP. He needs to come in and give Hope a dose of reality. He also has that history with Brooke and Amber.

I loved Deacon with Macy. But Macy coming back after being brain dead and taken off life support...? No. No, no, no.

It would be awesome if Joanna Johnson would come back, as Karen. She's Bill's sister and history with Ridge and Thorne.

And I miss the Forresters being front and center. I'd bring back Felicia and Kristen. Not Tony though.

Would be nice if Bill had another son he didn't know of. Someone who is more like himself than Liam is.

Thank heavens I'm not the only one who has never gotten the appeal of KS' Maxie (in fact, I found her horrible) and wished that they hadn't let go of the original Maxie (Robyn Richards) for her.

I keep hearing about him and Kristina coming back to the show, but I haven't heard a confirmation from news reps/their spokespeople.

I'm so glad I won't have to turn into B&B and see his face. Before he ever came on B&B I made a picture of Brooke and Jack Wagner and suggested they would make a great couple. Was I ever wrong. Bradley Bell has no clue how to write men. Nick Marone is the most repulsive male character I have seen on daytime in decades, but Deacon, and a few other of BB's creations aren't running far behind.

    • -- Jesus, that was bad. -- If we're going to bash Will's face-making, we can't let Luna off the hook. All that scrunched-face crying was annoying. -- Still no explanation as to how Luna escape, leading to utter stupidity that she gets away AGAIN while Will just stands there. -- Meanwhile, the entire cast hilariously gets texts about the jail escape and heads to the beach house.

    • I knew Ray Wise looked familiar (beyond How I Met Your Mother, which I also watched, where he replaced Eric Braeden!).

      GH really needs to keep the WSB honeypot away from Emma, and especially from Gio. If they want to put the two of them in a triangle with someone, it should definitely be with Trina. And, while I don't like Sidwell or this storyline that much, that was a really good ending. I didn't see it coming either.
    • In regards to Long's 2nd stint, it appears as though she officially came back as head-writer between the 4th of July/Bauer Barbeque episodes 1987 and mid August 1987.. and then between April and September 1988 were episodes written by the scabs.  I almost count her having 3 stints head-writing Guiding Light since the writer strike lasted five months. In her 2nd stint, she seemed focused on the following: - Sonni returning from the dead thus keeping Reva/Josh apart yet again so she naturally turns to Alan and causes the ending of the Vanessa/Alan relationship.   I wonder if Maeve's decision to leave affected some of this because she was gone by January 1988, a few months after Long's return so she had to come up with a way to get Vanessa to take off (and it was to be there for Billy during a low point if I recall). - Phillip/Chelsea were pretty heavily focused on during this 2nd stint period and I liked their rapport. - A lesser focused story in the background was the Lillian/Hawk/Sarah situation - Formulating her next version of the 4 Muskateers with Cam/Dinah/Harley/Alan Michael... but in order to include a more rough around the edges Harley.. Dinah was softened quite a bit (though I did see a cat fight between Harley/Dinah where Dinah belted Harley so I think Turco could have played an edgier Dinah). - There also seemed to be a Spaulding takeover going on with Phillip trying to oust Alan.. and it affected his relationship with Chelsea. Post-writer strike, I noticed that the Phillip/Harley arc kicked into gear with him pretending to be 'my fair lady' with Harley.. but trying to set it up to look as though they were sleeping together.  That arc plus the aftermath of Maeve's death were what Long started when she came back after the strike. I don't know how the Alan/Reva situation would have gone had CB remained in the role and if the writer strike hadn't happened.
    • I've only been solidly watching the show for the first time the past few months. I was familiar with parts of the show and some of the character just from being a soap fan. I do have to say that I am enjoying GH more than any other shows right now. Sure, it has flaws but it seems to move along fairly well, and most of all, the eye-candy. Damn, there are so many cute men on this show. Nathan and Michael are at the top of my list.

    • I have to say that I was honestly surprised by the exit this week. With spoilers and casting news, it is tough to pull off an honest shocker, and this shooting actually made gasp out loud.  I would bet many of you would enjoy it, if you watch it more regularly, I know that has been my experience this month.  
    • I believe she is talented and maligned for a reason. I fundamentally disagree with what she thinks soaps should be. And I am far from a traditionalist when it comes to the genre. There are many direct sources of her behavior and bad decisions, and my own eyes watching ratings decline after sweeps bumps on her her shows, it’s pretty clear she survived in power, especially at GH, specifically because the genre was declining. I will not further derail this thread with JFP unless it is pertinent. But I finish with this. She was asked directly over the years if she regretted killing Maureen off from Guiding Light. And for years she said she did. But someone pinned her down when she was at Y&R the first time, Michael Logan perhaps, and she admitted what she regretted and would never do again is making the audience care so much about a character right before killing then off. The tragic nature of the story leading into killing Maureen is what she regrets, not that she misjudged the audience, or that she didn’t have the foresight to see how destabilizing that was going to be for that particular show.    
    • If they bring back Connie, that kooky lady who kidnapped Melinda, or if Stephanie's stalker is a crazed fan, or if it is something based on her book, I may pluck an eyelash. I think the misdirect is that the stalker is after Alex, when they are really after Stephanie (unless it is Joy Wesley - that would be a surprise).
