If GH wants ratings to explode, cast VR as Nina's physical therapy nurse - but make it like Misery! The comedic timing between VR/MS was bar none. Who wouldn't tune in to watch that?

If you want to see an explosion, put the camera backstage. Or film VR's reaction to some of the quasi-racist material the show puts out.

See this is pointless to me, just like Michelle Stafford. Why soap hop to a soap that is offering you less money and that is lower rated? It makes no sense. Especially since both were still stars on Y&R. When they left I feel they owed it to themselves to try it in primetime, especially Billy Miller. He's done two big soap roles and still managed to book some pretty good primetime gigs. He needed to take an entire year and just audition until he booked a regular gig. It's a little different with Michelle due to age, but I feel she should've also tried to audition hard and between comedy and drama auditions I'm sure she had a shot. If not, THEN you go back to soaps, but if you look at the timing it's obvious both of them simply took a short vacation and jumped to GH.

I agree but this is Stafford "teaching YR/Jill a lesson" while Miller just needs another ATM to make regular w/drawals until that prime time job comes along.

Stafford was boasting several months ago about a role she was auditioning for on Scandal. Not only did she not get the part, the audition convinced TPTB that the character should be male. Stafford couldn't get her ass back to Daytime ) quick enough!

Then this will be another one of those whiplash plot changes because you already have a quad. What do you do with Ric? This reminds me of how quickly they got Britta out of Patty ' s orbit for Kim's ATM visit. They realized too many characters were in the "story" already and hurried Britta out of it.

At least it would make sense in one way - Billy Abbott didn't care about his kids. Neither does Lucky.

The only thing of value if he is playing Lucky is that it will be more likely to send TC's bloated orange ass out the door.

The only thing of value if he is playing Jason is we get to laugh at Michael Easton tanking each and every scene they have together (and he will) as soap "journalists" gush about "the bromance" and how hilarious and hot it is.

Do U know what role that ended up being?

It has to be Jason and a fabulous recast. The one person that can recast Steve burton. He's too old for Dillion quartermaine.

He will have no resemblance to Jason, so it will be a new character.

He wouldn't really be that old for Dillon - Miller just looks so much older than he is (he looks about 40-45). I'd rather they didn't have Dillon come back, but he would be a fresher character than Jason at this point.

The only problem will be Geary likely giving him the sex eye in scenes.

I don't know what else to say except this is another dumb move from a show and regime that have become legendary for making dumb moves. No matter who BM ends up portraying, replacing or being paired on-screen with, it'll be messy and boring as hell to watch. He is a dreadful actor, devoid of any and all on-screen talent or charisma, and has no business at all being in the business. I just pray Ron Carlivati's notorious short attention span kicks into overdrive and he writes off this loser sooner rather than later.

That's because they mistook her for a transsexual and figured if that was the best they could find....

She took her shot last time she left Y&R and did the Spelling show. If she didn't make it when she was 30 something, doesn't seem likely to happen now. I'm not saying that's right or fair just the way it tends to go.

Exactly, Julia. There are only so many "hot mom" roles on CW and ABC Family shows to go around.

  • Member

It's pretty much a for sure thing GH is a hot blaze of fire. So Frank getting these actors is fabulous. The ratings continue climbing and the show has major buzz. Great perks to joining.

Personally if I were acting & could pick a daytime soap to do, Id pick DOOL. It has IMO the best long term story and script writers
