Billy is going to bring in the viewers. He's sexy and an Emmy winner. His Jason would be different I am interested. I liked Steve but i loathed Jason last years of Guza it just was too much of him.

Billy is NOT sexy and his smarmy ass certainly will NOT bring me back.

No one would or could make that horrible character Jason Morgan interesting.

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.

Unfortunately there aren't two worlds to be divided between. The Quartermaines are Michael, who is mostly tied to Sonny's story, and Tracy, who will likely only interact with him to call him a thug and tell him he has a fat ass. Monica will be offcamera.

There are no lines or complexities on GH. The mob world is essentially the same as everything else on the show now - full of unlikeable, one-dimensional, bored people who dance to the plot.

No, you're right about all of that. But I think I needed to put my point out there - it's not the actor or the character, it's the material and the choices in priority.

I think some of the daily day-to-day writers do try to add some shadings and complexities, and from what I've seen some of those are there in the breakdowns. It even happens in crappy stories like Silas and Nina, where I think ME and Michelle Stafford have been making a genuine effort, especially in the last week - I'm hardly either actor's biggest fan, but I see them trying and I see the daily writers trying too. The problem is any emotional or character beats are never given equal time to be properly heard vs. the overarching plot which fuels them, or vice versa depending on who you ask.

I agree they tried this week. But that being said, Silas and Nina were on, what, all week? Usually "stories" get one or two episodes if we're lucky and then nothing so they've had more time to play things out than other stories do.

Miller will definitely be Jason. It makes no sense to have him as Lucky or Dillon. Jason has more story options, with Liz, with Sam, with Carly, with Franco .... etc. There's zero point to have Dillon back at this point, IMO. Lucky has a few more options but unless Jonathan Jackson told them to F off, I'd imagine they will wait for him, but probably not a lot longer.

Has GH confirmed this yet?

I'm going by Chit's "It's official!" post up-thread, but no, I haven't come across any official info.

I doubt they'll do anything with Carly or Liz, other than Liz staring at him with longing as Britt and Obrecht call her a dirty whore.

When it comes to Valentini and JFP by pets I did not mean air hogs. I meant prima donna behavior. By all accounts he doesn't put up with too much drama. He most def doesn't hide his favorites from our screens that is for sure !

JFP however does put up with prima donna behavior from her favorites.

Ohhh maybe they can retcon Franco back into being Jason's twin, played by David Tom! Roger Howarth's character would turn out to be Francisco, Heather's illegitimate love child with Mike Corinthos.

Except jason statham.

A guy can dream right?

Except jason statham.

No, not even him.

Well I did say there were options ... I don't believe many of said options will be used of course. It is Ron after all. I really don't think I can take Miller.

The cast is just way too bloated.

I wonder where this will leave Shawn?

I mean, does Sonny need two hired goons to do his killing for him? Or will Shawn and NuJason battle it out to see who can impress Sonny the most?

Shawn is black. We can figure that out pretty quickly.

Where else? Back at the back of the bus.

Understatement. Funny thing is, JER could have a show with twice the cast size and I would feel more confident. And I'm not even a JER fan.

I'm sure Ron Carlivati would love to thank you for giving him his big November sweeps idea.
