Members Skin Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Yeah GH did a big WTF when they threw away Lucky and Robin. Those were the last two characters on the show who could have anchored PC and brought the show in a new direction sans mob. They should have been leads as they were both legacy characters from legacy families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Not only that, but it would've been a lovely continuation to the Robert & Luke bromance that many old-school viewers knew and loved. Robin and Lucky being the GH leads would've ensured that the show kept its heart intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 If yiou want to be technical, Jason is a Quartermaine and Carly is a Spencer I always thought had Guza not come on they would have continued with Carly and AJ which has better potential than Carly and the mob. Sean Kanaan and Sarah Brown were both powerful actors at the time and had better lead potential and had great chemistry. It could have kept the Q's as a viable family outside of Jason.

Members lovely_m Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 I always thought that the reason AJ Carly were dropped was because AJ was recast with Billy Warlock and he didn't have the same chemistry with Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 There are a couple of problems with this. Lucky and Robin's portrayers both wanted to leave; GH did not throw them away. "Legacy" on GH pre-dates the 80s. GH had been on the air for years before their families were introduced. I don't view either the Scorpios or the Spencers as legacy families on GH.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 The fact that the latter are considered to be "legacy characters" (even though I believe that is a go-to excuse for those who refuse to acknowledge the fact that the legendary characters were done dirty) despite neither have the heart and/or soul of the former pretty much proves my point.

Members frequentsoapfan Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 It wouldn't have been with Sean Kanan AJ since he got fired for alcoholism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted April 17, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Shick and Shadam could also be added to that list. But Likey? Really? I thought they were universally liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Oh yeah I forgot about that. He was 100 times better as AJ who was a far more flawed and complex character than Jason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 AJ needed a solid actor. I can't blame GH for firing an alcoholic actor, no matter how talented. It's a nightmare to work around someone who might not show up for work and who might not be in any condition to work when he got there. I like Billy Warlock, so it's not about that. I never thought he was a good choice for AJ. It was another case where a show changed its writing for a character to work with the limitations of an actor.

Members ChitHappens Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 I agree about BW, and SK would agree with you. He agreed that he should have been fired. The heavy drinking and the drama. He went over to CBS and landed in the middle of a paternity suit. SK was a mess for a long time! ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted April 17, 2012 Members Share Posted April 17, 2012 Not sure how anyone feels about this, but there is no way in Hades I would have cast a corpse like Emily Van Camp as the lead in a show like revenge. No way! ANDREA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
