Members Juliajms Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 How many GH fans could pick the last Lucas out of a line up? I know I couldn't and I watched when he was on. If ever a soap needed a hot guy, it's GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 It mostly depends on the guy. OLTL went on about their hot Fords, and the time they were in the spotlight caused all time low ratings. I'm mostly just curious as to whether they would still have Lucas as a gay character. For that reason alone I wonder if this is some misread and he's been cast for another role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 I was fine with most of the Fords (Rob, James and Daddy Ford were all okay in my book), even if they were just pounds of pretty meat that could speak. This is FV/RC as head writers, if it weren't them I would completely agree, but I don't doubt that they would love the chance to play with a gay Spencer character. This. Most viewers never got a chance to even settle into the recast, GH was only interested in gay Lucas while Ryan Carnes was in the role from his limited appearance as the gay Gardner on Desperate Housewives. Once Carnes stepped down GH couldn't get ride of Lucas fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 I thought it was a lethal combination of bad acting, lack of charisma, and bad writing. I can't remember one good story any of them ever had. The show just threw them together hoping some viewers would rush to see generic hunks with their mouths hanging open. RC may want to try a gay story again, but I'm not sure ABC would go along. I'm not sure if RC would even want to, since he was badly burned the last time. If it is Lucas then I could see them focusing on his mob ties, moreso than the Spencers, who are a dead, rotting family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 That was Ben Hogestyn, right? Drake Hogestyn's (adopted) (step) son (which explains the lack of an resemblance)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Lucas and Maxie were made for a great love triangle with a hot guy. Too bad KS is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Lucas & Maxie consider each other family though, right? They're adopted cousins. ..Unless you mean they'd be fighting for the guy. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 yes, lucas/guy/maxie. where, perferably, maxie meets a new guy and starts a thing with him unaware he is her cousins boyfriend but when she finds out she isnt willing to let go.

Members Vee Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 And yet, when Guza brought Maxie and Georgie into the teen scene, they were originally fighting over cousin Lucas (played by Evan Bonifant, who didn't get a real shot). That ended fast. Were the show going on there is plenty to do with Lucas, who I'm sure would still be gay. They just have to commit to the character and an actor. Ben Hogestyn was fine, nothing spectacular. Ryan Carnes was beautiful but terrible. I think there was someone in between - oh, right, CJ Thomason. I didn't care for him in the role but he was great years later, matured, as the hunky fisherman on Harper's Island. Maybe he could come back and do well.

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Evan Bonifant? I didn't know that. He was one of the Al Holdens as a child on OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Whoa, I hope that rumor about Lucas comes true. I might just have to start watching GH again if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vanguardian Posted March 8, 2012 Members Share Posted March 8, 2012 You hope this isn't true? BITE YOUR TONGUE! That's all I gotta say. This is exactly how I like my TV gay boys to look: NICE AND STUDLY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'd rather they could act...and judging by RC history, it's looks first, talent second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 I hated the last Lucas. My favorite of the teen portrayers is still Ryan Carnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
