Members frequentsoapfan Posted December 23, 2018 Members Share Posted December 23, 2018 GH's casting is horrible. It's hard to come up with a list of actors I would actually keep without it consisting of less than 5 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted December 23, 2018 Members Share Posted December 23, 2018 Is Teschner still casting the show? Remember when he was revered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 23, 2018 Members Share Posted December 23, 2018 tbh I suspect FV has been micromanaging the casting since 2012, and I'm not the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted December 23, 2018 Members Share Posted December 23, 2018 Exactly. And my antennae went up when I read about Shelly Altman’s “modern storytelling sensibilities” followed by praise for Jean Passanante. We we were all here when Jonny went on and on about their vision as writers, which was laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members frequentsoapfan Posted December 23, 2018 Members Share Posted December 23, 2018 His casting has been terrible for years. Can't recall the last newcomer who really endeared me right away. I don't know where he keeps finding these bland one note newbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 Agreed. I recall his work being particularly bad for several years at a time before having some decent hires. The late 1990’s was a rough patch, with several bland or poorly cast choices, then he had a few good years again, then a few bad again. When he is good, it’s great. I think the person/people casting at GL in the entire 1980’s until mid 1990’s had the best track record of just one gem after another with very few duds.

Members Faulkner Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 Betty Rea. She was fantastic at GL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 Betty Rea started casting GL sometime in the 70s, and for a time was also working for ATWT. (Not sure exactly when that was). I think Teschner is hampered by whomever the executive producer is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 I would agree, but I think his number of duds was about even under Riche and JFP. He cast a lot of good people for Monty’s second run(but you know she had a hand in that). For every Brenda, Stone, Patrick and Faith we got bad recasts for Lucky and Nikolas, (not Greg Vaughn!) and a bevy of bland folks like Kristina (first one), Chloe, Hannah, Lucky’s Irish girlfriend, etc. Valentini has been his worst though. She really was. I only watched the show a few times back in the day, but YouTube has shown me what a great thing I was missing out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dawn9476 Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 Same here. Out of all the contract actors, I would keep FH, NLG, GF, and KS. ER is alright but I know a better Lulu is probably out there. WK, KW, and Kin can stay. Either on recurring or I would up them to contract. It would be up to them. Everyone else can go and I would rebuild the show around the four I would keep. ETA: JL. Another one that deserves to be upped to contract status. He is the reason why they probably ended up aging Peter to 40 instead of someone in their 20's and casting him with WR. I think the initial plan was to make Peter's Faison and Anna's from when he kidnapped her in 92. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 It was nice to see Monica mention Steve Hardy on Friday the 21st and also how later Alan read the story. Why is that the best part of the show for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members vetsoapfan Posted December 24, 2018 Members Share Posted December 24, 2018 Because it was a nod back to when GH was actually...GH (i.e. good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eboneece Posted December 27, 2018 Members Share Posted December 27, 2018 Jon Lindstrom has turned into quite the hot daddy type. Love how Shelly and Chris are writing him. He and Maura West have benefitted most from this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
