Chit, Burton's hiring did probably play a part in both Budig & Watkins being let go. 

 

I just dont see why rehiring him was necessary

 

There is already as Jason Morgan and unless Burton is a new role but I highly doubt that I already saw the tales of two Jasons on OLTL and didnt want it there and I dont want it here

So get rid of the no talent playing a serial killer rapist romantic lead.  Get rid of Stafford.  Why is Easton still on?  Can't go after Burton for those firings while Stanco, NinUGH and whomever the hell Easton is playing still exist.  As for Miller?  That talking speed bump can go.  He is hardly Jason and always looks bored.  He's collecting a check while contributing nothing but sighs...

It's amazing how this show has been incompetently managed for so many years. A revolving door of irrelevant, non-entity characters who never catch on, yet stick around long after they should be discarded...beloved vets dropped without reason and/or barely used...no real understanding of, links to, or use of the show's rich storyline history. What a mess.

I'm not a very vocal member of SON, I tend to like to lurk, more than contribute, but after today's GH, I need to share my opinion and see if anyone else agrees.

 

Ok, so is it me, or are TPTB leading us around by the nose.  It was painfully obvious that they're avoiding showing BM lying in that hospital bed.  Using strategically placed medical equipment and walls to block the actors face, knowing that we know that Burton is on his way back, is not sitting well with me. Are we duped to believe that when Jason wakes up, he'll be played by SB? Or would they actually go that route, replace BM in the bed with SB, and then bring BM on as Franco's imaginary friend/brother/whatever-the-hell-he's-supposed-to-be?  

 

As some of you know, I'm a GH ride-or-die, with a keen interest in the early days of the show, but an undying love/admiration for the show.  But with that said, I don't like to be made to feel like I'm stupid.  The past two days, with Hayden's baby lie, and today with the blatant masking of Miller in the bed, I'm kinda getting angry.  

 

I know how ridiculous that sounds, to be getting so passionate and angry over a soap, but I mean when my years of investment (33 years, to be exact) are starting to be called into question, all for pandering to SB, whom, when I met him, was a complete d'bag, I feel I have the right to be pissed.

 

Thoughts?

I don't follow Miller's career outside of GH, so thanks for that info.  I guess I am still of the mind set that the "deuces" picture posted on Social Media was a not so subliminal way of telling us that Miller was giving up Jason to Burton.  I'll go back to my dark corner now.

Please don't beat yourself up.  We as GH viewers have been subjected to just about every soap trick in the book, some of which are now almost stereotypical.  As savvy viewers, we will often figure out what will happen next because we know most of the tricks anymore.  FV has said in interviews that the whole plan has been in place with the possible "Tale of Two Jasons" and that no one has figured out how SB's return will play out.  However, we both know well enough that if anyone does, they'll do a quick re-write that makes no sense to make us think that they were one step ahead of all of us the whole time.  So, please, don't stay in your dark corner.  Your contributions are too valuable.

 

On a different note, I though MW's dialogue and acting were flawless in the scenes she did with MC's Griffin.

    • Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!
    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role
