People are saying it's a Lulu recast based off the script

GENERAL HOSPITAL - ROLE OF "ERIN"

LOFT - AFTERNOON (MARK, ERIN)

MARK
Direct question. Do you agree with your father, do you think we don't have a future?

ERIN
My father didn't actually say that. And you know, nobody can predict the future — we could be hit by a bus or you could get shot — [or “trip and fall and-]

MARK
(OVER) Look, if you have doubts, I need to hear them.

ERIN
I guess I had a crisis of confidence. You and I were having problems, and I started thinking it was my fault, that I shouldn't be married. I hate fighting with you and I hate even more how I start sabotaging myself, acting all resentful and entitled.

MARK
So we disagreed. It happens. That doesn't mean we don't love each other.

ERIN
Well, of course not. We're great together, but can we stay together?
That's the question.

MARK
You think I'm gonna let you down, take off the way everyone else has.

ERIN
You could never let me down. Like I said, it's me I'm worried about. You were right. I am a little gun shy because of my family. At one time or another they all ran away from what was supposed to make them happy. They started out with the best of intentions, but it always ended, and not happily. How can I not take that as a warning? The universe is basically telling me that I'm better off alone.

MARK
I don't know how you can even think that.

ERIN
I've been thinking it awhile now. I can't help measuring my life against a history I was never a part of. I grew up with those exciting stories about my parents and their great love story. Part of me thinks love is supposed to equal lots of adventure and definite heartbreak.

MARK
Look, our marriage isn't perfect - and it's not like your parents' or your brother's [marriage]. Sometimes we'll face excitement, sometimes we won't. But if you're willing to work through it, I know we can have a wonderful life together.

ERIN
Forever?

MARK
You want a guarantee?

ERIN
Yes. I do.

MARK
(LIGHT) Wait, who's the one who just said that nobody can predict the future? All I know is that I want to spend every day that I can with you. If it turns into forever - even better.

ERIN
You know, I thought the smartest thing I ever did was to marry you. Now I know it is.

I like JMB, but I wouldn't mind a recast. However, right in the middle of this surrogacy story it might be a little jarring. I guess if JMB is leaving, I'd say just have Lulu decide to go off to school or something, then bring a recast back a few months later...Then again, Genie Francis is returning so they might think it's absolutely necessary to have Lulu around right now.

I guess only time will tell.

I just don't think she's recastable. JMB's been in the role since Lulu was SORASed back in 2005.

She is Lulu. Period.

It's not like the Kirsten Storms/Jen Lilley thing because Kirsten wasn't the first SORASed Maxie. That was Danica Stewart. And, she didn't work out so they went back to Robyn Richards. Who was already old enough by 2005 that there wasn't a huge age jump between her Maxie and KS's Maxie.

But, when JMB came on as Lulu. There was a huge difference between her and the little 8 year old that had been playing her a year before.

      His social media/IMDb doesn't have his age but from some posts he's made, I'm guessing 1989 is his birth year.
    • Here's the timeline, as I recall it being published. The WGA strike was 5/2–9/27/2023 Annalynne McCord was announced as being hired in December 2023, for a one-year contract https://deadline.com/2024/06/days-of-our-lives-when-to-expect-annalynne-mccord-peacock-1235975806/ RonC's first scripts back from the strike began airing May 31, 2024 (around Konstantine & Maggie's wedding) https://www.tvinsider.com/1137709/days-of-our-lives-writers-return-15000th-episode-storylines/ Her first air date was June 19th 2024. The actress has said she was not told who she would be playing until she started taping. RonC 's replacements were announced July 2024, with his scripts airing through April 2025 Side note: DAYS social media team seems to be playing fast and loose with BTS videos, in terms of how far in advance they film content, so we shouldn't assume anyone's current status, versus those who were there nine months ago.
    • April and her husband (Draper) are the "young leads" who tie all the storyline threads together.  They're normally in the center of the action.  In this particular storyline, Draper is the attorney who represents Paige Madison.  (The district attorney, Logan Swift, has given Paige Madison "temporary immunity from prosecution" if she will lead the police to the members of the Tobias Gang who stole the firearms.  But Paige mainly just ducks bullets from various gang members who pop-up to assassinate her.)    
    • It's one thing to post about a soap's rumors or gossip, which in point of fact we've all done. It's another to present yourself as the inside source who knows something to be fact that's about to break wide, then backtrack and call it just Twitter speculation. Between those two extreme poles you have to commit to one or the other. If I got something wrong, I'd say it. (Nor would I keep playing insider after what I pulled with Drake Hogestyn, which should've gotten someone permanently banned.) And regardless, you don't open with this 'news' you don't actually want to stand by yet by mocking DRW's extremely valid concerns re: how the Trina character and Tabyana Ali has been marginalized and put out to virtual pasture ever since the day NAC left. Her playing out her current contract in a C-storyline with Kai does not change that.
    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant.
