Hey, proteus, my love :)

I think RPG is a wonderful person, but not a bad move for the character. I like ML. JEP was probably my favorite Jake from my channel surfing days.

Hey Angela. :)

I thought RPG & CS were good together, but I liked the other two actors as well.

I thought Lowry's Jake was pretty unwatchable once he turned sanctimonious and baby-obsessed. That character needed a long rest after both his and J. Eddie Peck's tenures turned sour fast.

That said, Lowry was great as Ross on OLTL - easygoing and fun. If he can bring that energy, not unlike RPG's Jake, to the role, I could take it.

I thought the whole "Jake" thing was stupid. The character is JOEY and I thought he was best played by Michael Brainard (I admit, I had to Google the name). His Joey was very much like McKenna and Fillion's OLTL Joey. A kind soul.

I really want Michael Lowry back as Jake Martin and hes good friends with Florencia Lozano and Kassie DePaiva so he could feel comfortable with PP/TOLN.

I'd love Lowry back as Jake! I'm not familiar with him but I loved his work on OLTL. RPG was funny but oh so condescending as well. Plus, we desperately need a Martin presence. Does it say if he was mulling it over or did he refuse?

Don't care much about villainous Vlad, but great news that they are trying to bring a Jake Martin back. Never saw Michael Lowry. I also think of J Edward Peck as my favorite in the role from my 2001/2002 AMC watching period. Liked RPG too.

Agree with dragonflies regarding the "no room" mantra.

I'd rather have J Eddie Peck back if RPG doesn't pop in now and then

Debbi's right, it's stupid to prejudge when we haven't seen the show yet.

Michael Lowry was alright as Jake, but I loved J. Eddie Peck in the role.

Look, it's fine if you loved the Kreizman-era AMC and found it to be full of possibility. Not many other people did. I thought they had some okay stories but I thought Scott, Madison, etc. were inoffensive but bland. And the show's not going to be lacking for them.

If you like something and miss it then say you like it and you miss it, don't try to frame it as a different issue entirely.

Watching Debbi Morgan on Twitter is like watching her wander a deserted street on The Walking Dead. I just want to pull her into somewhere safe before the walkers realize she out there.

As for Jake, I honestly have no attachment to any of the actors who played him. That's not a slam. I liked each of them in their own way. I do think that RPG had awesome brother chemistry with MEK.

Oh yeah! Brainard's Joey is the one who was in love with that crazy ass Emily Ann. That was some good stuff.

It's like suddenly everyone's forgotten how awful and hated Lowry was as Jake. It took a decade for that character to recover from his stint. I want someone new, I'm tired of seeing passable actors just because they have soap experience. RPG can stay away too.

Do you think they'll make the first few episodes available to critics? It might help them get some mainstream press.
