It's gotta be weird to know that you'll always be the second choice.

He'll be half naked most of the time, so it's a good deal.

He's a familiar face, and a pretty one at that. If we can't have Jason Cook long-term, I'm glad we were able to get Shawn. No. 2 back, versus a new actor. After all, JPL, although a familiar daytime face, is a new DAYS face as Phillip.

Ha…never saw that….I had already forgotten about JPL on Days…..

I never cared for Cook during his original run or at GH….but I liked his return this time…

I wonder why Jason Cook didnt want long term return?

As fo why Cook is only on for a few months? I asked this question on Twitter a while ago and was told he has a few projects he's currently working on. Days knew that and still wanted him to have as many original faces for 50 as possible.

That was nice of them to include him even though he couldn't commit to full term contract.

Same. He was announced like 2 years ago.

I like both Shawns. Maybe Jason Cook has a side profession nobody knows about somewhere.

Cook does. Doesn't he do non-profit work or something of the like? I seem to remember him discussing something like that in one of his last SOD articles when he left GH as well as other writing projects.

Eaux. Jason Cook isn't the best actor but I've always felt he had such great natural chemistry with his onscreen family that kind of made up for it. Beemer.... ehhhh

Jason just did a a movie called DARK AWAKENING. I think he said somewhere he likes to focus on directing and writing.

I've enjoyed having Cook back as Shawn. I got tired of him and he's not the absolute greatest actor but as stated above he has great chemistry with his on-screen family.

Beemer and Madison had more chemistry than Cook and Madison did (which was ZERO), and Madison and Beemer were Shawn and Belle at the same time so it's sort of fitting that Beemer takes over again. I don't mind Beemer. He works for me, the last thing we needed was yet another new face.

LMAO I keep forgetting about JPL too. When's he supposed to pop up? And what happened between him and Beemer on Dirty Soap? I think Farah Fath brought out JPL's ... not so nice side because she was such an uber-something I don't want to say. When I used to attend super soap weekends, the last year (2009) with Fath and JPL together, you could see a difference in JPL's entire demeanor and Fath was definitely a bitch. I cringe everytime I see someone want Mimi back. No. Never. Fath needs to stay away. Maybe if I didn't know how she was in RL ...

This is how I felt recently with his return and Beemer's second fiddle again.

Agreed, I think Blake became a woman who learned from her mistakes and grew up. I too wanted them to be the core couple after the Tori thing, as a matter of fact, around Wheeler after Simon left I wanted them to move into the Bauer house..( I would have Blake say that this is the closet thing she knew as a home )SORAS the kids, and bring Sam back..Dinah would have a very contentious relationship with her, as she would be jealous of Ross and Sam's relationship, and Blake and Dinah would have that tension (ya, know cause she killed his brother) it would be a core family that had some fissures leading to good drama. But now, Wheeler and company though the Coopers should be the core.

Agree that great minds can think alike :)
In terms of Derek, I see the show doing one of two things based on the most recent episodes that featured him.
1) They do the gradual fade-out of the character until he stops appearing and is occasionally mentioned by Jacob (i.e. still living and existing in town, just not being seen). We saw some evidence with him having a group of co workers he's friends with, plus a female co worker interested in him... so possibly we see him regain his walking and go back to his life with the Fire crew and eventually we stop seeing them on air.
2) His mentioning to Jacob that he hopes to win Ashley back signals that perhaps the dark side we saw glimpses of has been hidden and will rear itself if she appears to be moving on with a new guy.
In terms of Ashley, the show seems committed to keeping her character on the show especially since she was shown in the Thanksgiving episode having a quiet day with Jan and Mona as they discuss Black Friday shopping, food, and other day to day matters... so I think delving into her backstory in terms of who her father is would be a good place for the show to go while keeping her as a good friend to Naomi, Shanice, and a good nurse during medical stories.
Perhaps one of the children of the handsome new doctor could be her love interest down the line.

Re: 1978. I'm glad the unedited version of the episode complete with commercials is available. The one that has been posted several years ago had several segments missing. I like Barbara's long hair here. Dr. Steven Farrell didn't last very long I take it since she is re-connecting with Tom (Tom Tammi) by 1979. The actor playing Steven (Phil Peters) was the real-life husband of Lenore Kasdorf (Rita GL).

Oh, how I wish we'd gotten to see Ross deal with his teenage sons. I loved his relationships with Phillip and Sam, but he really deserved to be seen with his own kids (other than the horror that became Dinah). The boys simply disappeared off canvas after either the Nursery Stalker or the affair with Tori.

What I liked about Bloss is that I liked how they grew to be the stable couple- the closest to an Ed and Mo in their prime. Especially after the Tori story when their extra-marital exploits were in the past. I wanted them to SORAS the three kids, along with Dinah and with Phillip's family as Ross's extended family would really be solid core family material.
With that said, I was rooting against Bloss in 1999 as I really liked the Ross/India pairing-- but that just turned out to be a waste of MKA.

They did actually resolve who shot Austin over a year later (it was Cyrus, as part of his hasty exit story). That was a last minute save though clearly when they forgot lol.

Talkin' 'Bout TV Movies

I love those old TV movies, especially the ones from the 70's and 80's. The ABC movie of the week had a ton of them. Like
Satan's School for Girls (1973)
All My Darling Daughter's (1972)
Gidget Gets Married (1972)
The Girl Who Came Gift Wrapped (1974)
The Two Worlds of Jenny Logan (1979)
The Boy in the Plastic Bubble (1976)
Death Cruise (1974)
Here is the 70's ABC opening. The theme music "Nikki" was composed by Burt Bacharach and named for his daughter with Angie Dickinson.

Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

The return of sitcoms' popularity in the mid-'80s was a real thing, but the crash of the wealth-based nighttime soap genre was resonate and self-induced.

There was an effectively grim finality to the mood of the cliffhangers in the Spring of 1985: Bobby's death, the Moldavian massacre, the return of Val's babies... and they felt as if they could have ended right there (and perhaps they should have, although I would have sorely missed S10 of Dallas, S6 of FC, and Season 9 of Dynasty , and the next five years of KNOTS as they singularly maintained quality).

But, wow, these shows just fell apart post-Spring 1985. They stopped being character dramas after a while, and just started trying to "impress" viewers in some superficial way and to "fake it" somehow.

What a painful, unnecessary slide it was. But once these shows seemed to lose their identities, their sense of self, their momentum into the dung heap couldn't be slowed.
