Members Soapsuds Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 I thought Lachlan was good in the role. As you said they had nothing for him to do. I barely remember Blake in the role. I think I remember one scene with him and Jack and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 why did Bergman hate that SL? I have tried to find out using many sites but can't find anything. people keep bringing it up but won;t say why he hated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 I don't know either. I've just heard it from trusting posters on various soap boards that he didn't care for the pairing. I've heard he didn't like Angie/Cliff being paired together on AMC either. Don't wanna peg the man as a bigot, but where there's smoke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 I would only be surprised if it was someone totally out of the blue like Mari Jo Mason out of the psycho ward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 Didn't that story get him canned and led to DM's departure from AMC? I can see him being gunshy when it comes to the bigots in the audience, but I've never seen anything regarding his feelings on the stories (Cliff and Angie and Jack and Luan) other than veiled comments with no credible sources to back it up. Then again, I always got the impression he does give off a bit of a douchey vibe, so what do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 There is another reason why he may not like Keemo, it makes Jack a set age as any child Jack would have had during the war would be well over 40. Edited to add: so in this case he may be more vain than racist, though we'll never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 Bergman does remember a storyline that still makes him cringe. They decided Jack had served in Viet Nam, sired a child he did not know about, and his now-grown son, Keemo, came to town. "Whenever I am displeased with a storyline, all I have to do is think 'Keemo,' and I realize how bad things could get," Bergman explains. http://soapcentral.com/yr/news/2013/0403-bergman.php He hated the story. Doesn't say why. Everything else coupled with the Angie/Cliff story is conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 I said that I just heard the Angie/Cliff rumor like everyone else. I didn't say it was factual; however, I do believe that where there's smoke, there could be fire. I don't know why he hated the Keemo story so much as many American men did sire kids during Vietnam.

Members Darn Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 I didn't say you did and I think it's fishy af that those are two of the stories he objected to yet he's okay playing his own South American doppelgänger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted April 25, 2017 Author Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 Guess he didn't want to accept that Jack was a certain age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 Soap actors are a weird breed. That's what I am discovering. They sh-t on phenomenal, character driven stories--the meat and potatoes , but love campy stories--the scraps. Oh plz. I doubt this was the issue at all. If it was, then he should've built a bridge and got over that b-tch. He's an actor, not a writer. See this is why I am glad I am not the head writer of a show b/c I'd be firing people left and right. I HATE actors that feel they can dictate what the write, who is the visionary of the show, can tell. Do I think they should have concerns at times? Yes. But a story about Jack producing a child during Vietnam isn't one of them. Especially, when it is possible that Jack could've done it. Hell, Tom did it on ATWT, and it was a beautiful story. The actors on Y&R are quick to bitch about not getting camera time, but when someone truly tosses them a bone, they moan like babies. That's why I love Sharon Case b/c she takes whatever she is given and is gracious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edgeofnik Posted April 25, 2017 Members Share Posted April 25, 2017 @Nothin'ButAttitude You're absolutely correct - the Tom/Lien story was great and lasted 3 years. Plus it introduced the masses to the wonderful Ming-Na. All I remember from the Keemo story were scenes where Keemo just hated Jack. I rarely watched during that era - only when I went home to the family. I don't much care for Aunt Jack at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
