GH: Actors on a break


Recommended Posts

Where did you get that it was supposed to be Brenda?   Valentini would not likely have tried to hire Marcil. He would have to sacrifice a pet for that kind of $$$$$$.    And we know he would rather go a** over teakettle before giving up a Frankles, Ninny, Jillian or Hammy Finn,

 

Brenda sounds like something out of Fanfic. ValenVarni also know Marcil hated her last visit under their "EP/casting slouch er couch" regime......

Supposedly GH wanted Marcil back & her Kid Alec would have been paired with Joss

But VM allegedly said No

So they got Tams back and created Kim & Oscar

 

GH also wanted Tams in 2011 to be Kate #2 but she declined

Are U talking her 2013 stint?

Which is just sad. Why on earth she isn't on contract is ridiculous (well, I mean, I know why, but you know what I mean), but I imagine she got tired of them not being interested ... I'd rather have Brenda than Nina or Kim.

I think the VM/Brenda's Oscar's mom thing is a fan theory only.  The show was being super mysterious about Oscar's mom when he was first on the show and Brenda being Oscar's mom would have been an actual decent story, so of course it was untrue.  I actually assumed it would be something more exciting than Kim, but was wrong too. They also had Mike mention Brenda quite a few times when he first starting reappearing around the same time.  I don't think VM was ever contacted or anything.

 

As for GH, I think they would be stuck in a hard place if they ever brought Brenda back.  Yes, I agree S/B/J is super played out, but I think S/B still have a decent size fan base and people would complain if they paired her with someone new.  The show seems fairly invested in Carson though so who knows?  I would think at some point with Jax back they will probably see if Vanessa wants to return.  It's not like she's doing much more than a Lifetime movie every year or so.

Frankly, I think VM would be much better off contacting Y&R or B&B if she were interested in returning to daytime.  GH would stick Brenda back with Sonny or Jax, and neither pairing appeals to me anymore.

Lol well she should have said yes because it would have killed Alec off for good.  I would be surprised if Alec's existence is a deal breaker for VM, but maybe it is.  Since he isn't related to anyone on canvas they could easily say he was in boarding school in Italy and not have to deal with him.  Or the show could be smart and just retcon him into Jax's as he should have been in the first place.

    • If NBC could have for seen the ratings of Lovers & Friends (the replacement for Somerset).. they would have for sure kept Somerset on the air longer. https://jason47.com/days/ratings1976.html  (ratings for Somerset in the final year) https://jason47.com/days/ratings1977.html (ratings for Lovers & Friends short run...getting as low as a 2 rating).

    • I liked them, too, and was really disappointed it never went anywhere. The whole art theft story was ridiculous, but they had a nice chemistry. Certainly nicer than Alan with Christine. With her, he looked like the funny uncle. The worst thing they did to Bolger, IMO, was having Phillip write that DREADFUL novel and dramatizing it while he wrote it. GAG, that has to be in the running for one of their worst storylines that didn't involve wacky things like clones or time travel. Soaps rarely do school storylines, or don't do them for very long. Not the case so much in the early days of soaps, but after GH took off in the late 70s other soaps took their lead and would catapult teens/young adults into adult stories right away. That's one reason Phillip and Mindy ended up with so many ex-spouses--they started getting married really young. They shipped Dina and Cameron off really fast after high school and stuck Alan Michael in a marriage storyline with Harley. Did he EVER go to college? I don't think so. It may also partly explain why Quint and Annabelle had to go, beyond TPTB wanting to do a cast sweep. Teaching is not a profession that plays well on a soap. Quint definitely had to quit being Indiana Jones, because that wore thin really fast, but they didn't do him favors by making him a professor. If they wanted to keep him, they should have done what they did with Amanda (who was in another dead-end soap job, concert pianist)--have him work at Spaulding as one of the major stockholders.
    • Judith McConnell (Augusta) and Denise Alexander (Lesley) were great screen partners on GH.  They got into some stellar arguments in character in the medicine room.
    • He also commented that Brad knows that fans are sick of the constant fake deaths on this show: Finn, Sheila, etc and that it's hard to take this seriously if it's another fake death

    • I just don't think Brad Bell has it in him to actually kill off Liam. He should have killed off Eric when he had the chance. I know John McCook is an original cast member, but Eric is even more useless than Liam. Eric should have died and then it would be revealed that he died without a valid will, so Donna, as his wife, inherits everything, including his shares in Forrester Creations.
    • I think we all will, isn't that how soaps work? lol    
    • ^^ I'll believe it when it actually happens.
