Let's just forget Miller for a second. How do you write this SL? A quad with 2 back from the dead spouses? Is Jason now a schemer and will conspire with Nina to break up Sam and Silazzzzz? What do you do with this quad exactly? Not many directions you can take. These castings are not about story. Each one makes it clear that these are stunts to increase ratings.

What if Miller finally lands that PT gig he's been seeking [i'm sure his outs are excessive]? Does Jason, of all people, run out on his child or do you just kill Danny off? If/when Miller leaves, Twitter will have another epic meltdown and folks will be pissed that FrankenRon didn't handle the exit properly. I can't wait!

Anyone who thinks either one of them are being paid Y&R money are probably mistaken. I bet they have lots of outs, because they rotate the characters in and out of story way too much.

From all reports, Valentini runs a tight ship. I don't think he lets anyone get in the way of the show. JFP on the other hand is known for her pets.

I could buy Krissy Baldwin seeing Kevin as a father figure but scott most certainly adopted her first. But then Julie kidnapped her biological daughter didnt she? When she brought her back before she died, didnt Lucy re start adoption proceeding with kevin as the adopted father (since they were married at the time)?

They'll give him a personality rewrite, no doubt - he'll suddenly be very happy clappy peppy, he'll whore around, smirk at people, etc. The main problem is will there be any story or any chemistry. Not that it matters, since all the show has to do is have their new hires move an eyebrow, and the soap 'press' will swoon.

The OLTL 3 would beg to differ.

I just have to laugh of the reality of this news. What happen to the days when a character was recast to look like or have the same qualities the previous actor had? Of course previous Jason was bore and I guess BM will too with his grinning idiot teeth.

Chit is asking the smart questions, actually. But they're questions I and I'm sure others asked before.

The answer for me is, they'll accommodate Miller but only up to a point. Just as Frank Valentini did with Trevor St. John at OLTL, up to a point - he wouldn't let TSJ's pilot or outside interests dictate plot after a certain cutoff prior to cancellation or move to the Internet, and said no, you can do up to this point but if you leave you can't come back. He gambled that TSJ would return to the fold before a certain point and lost, but he still got TSJ in the studio to do the secret finale tag for OLTL.

For me, personally? If Billy Miller is the right kind of Jason - emotive, divided between two worlds - I think that's a valuable new/old character and worth breaks and returns. But if he's the same old mob enforcer I won't care. It remains to be seen which one they'll use. But one thing I know is that GH won't suffer from too little Jason - it can do without, without hurting story. Because unlike the Guza regime, the moral compass of the show is not hung on Jason.
