Members Josh Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 FROM GH TO DAYS AND BACK General Hospital must have some juicy story planned for the wealthy Quartermaine clan, because the ABC sudser is said to be bringing back John Ingle as crusty patriarch Edward Quartermaine. Soap vet Jed Allan played Edward on a recurring basis after Ingle jumped ship to play Mickey Horton on Days of our Lives in 2004. Reps at Days and GH declined to comment. ******************************************************************************** ********* What the heck is all this about?? And this came out of the middle of nowhere!! All I can say is if they are shopping around for a new Edward, Jerry Douglas is free...AGAIN JERRY DOUGLAS IS FREE!!

Members Rhiannon Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 Who's the source for this rumor? Where did it start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SteveFrame Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 As far as I know it is not a rumor. Several boards have posted it. It was even a thread here last week about it. John Ingle has not aired since I think January maybe early February as Mickey on Days. I have not seen an first air date listed for Ingle on GH but as far as being reported - it is supposed to be a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rhiannon Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 Don't be sorry....There are probably others like me who still didn't know about this..... I haven't gotten to look at an issue of SOD for a long time...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Josh Posted March 3, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 Yes and apparently SOD is stating this as such. The headline is stating, "DAYS start to GH" or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AMCHistory Posted March 3, 2006 Members Share Posted March 3, 2006 I wonder if it is contract. My understanding was that Ingle jumped ship after the first CE because he was dropped from contract (which was really sad b/c Anna Lee died soon after and we had faux Ed at the funeral) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Drew Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 not for atleast 5 months, per his still in effect Y&R contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matthews Frame Cory Fan Posted March 4, 2006 Members Share Posted March 4, 2006 Well, if Ingle is leaving and John Clarke is unwilling to return on a permanent basis, I think I'd prefer TPTB write Mickey's death into the storyline (as rumored) rather than recasting again. That said, I think it would be wonderful if they could convince Clarke to return for Mickey's farewell scenes. After 40+ years, the character deserves a proper sendoff. Also, I think writing Mickey out would open up the storyline possibilities for Suzanne Rogers and Maggie. It would give DAYS a wonderful opportunity to show a mature woman coping with the loss of her spouse and moving on with her life. Maggie is far more than a tentpole character. Rogers' multilayered portrayal has been underrated for far too long. Its high time she shines once again. If Reilly, Corday, and the others have any intellectual capacity left, they'll take this opportunity to put both Maggie and her wonderful portrayer to good use. FYI, I say this as a member of the prized 18-29 demographic. Contrary to popular belief, we like to see the trials and tribulations of people more mature than we are.
