He has a much more mature look than most of the actors who’ve played queer characters on soaps, certainly in recent years, but I’m not sure if he’ll get anything substantive to do.

The way Daytime Confidential worded it ...

according to what they've heard ....

He's not a temporary recast  --  in contrast to a recent GH recasts who were only temporary recasts.


For example:
This isn't like Lindsay Hartley as a temp recast of Sam due to Kelly Monaco's mask issues.

And it's not like Briana Lane as a temp recast of Brook Lynn while Amanda Setton was on maternity leave.

So he could be "here to stay" as an occasional recurring character.  Or "here to stay" on contract.  But either way, he's not a temp recast.

It’s just odd to use that terminology for a character who is barely used vs. a contract, long-term character like Sam or Brook Lynn. I suppose the show and Ryan Carnes have simply cut ties for the time being. The way this all has been handled and communicated is... curious, that’s all.

I was thinking about past times with recurring actors ...

There was one time a few years ago when Bradford Anderson had a scheduling conflict, so GH used Blake Barris as a temp Spinelli for a short arc. And then Bradford was back the next time Spinelli had an arc.
 

And I think it happened once several years ago, when Jon Lindstrom had a scheduling conflict, so somebody else played Kevin for one episode. And then Jon was back the next time Kevin had scenes.


I saw some speculation/wondering on twitter if this was something like that ...

Wondering if GH needed Lucas Jones for Julian's exit storyline, but maybe Ryan Carnes had a scheduling conflict so they pulled in this other actor temporarily for these November scenes?
This was just random speculation by viewers on twitter.

 

But the Daytime Confidential article seems to imply that Ryan Carnes is not coming back...

And that’s the thing. GH could have just said Ryan Carnes was no longer available, so they’ve recast the role for a short-term arc. Or simply that they’ve recast the role, period. Instead, we got nothing, which led to a lot of confused speculation when people saw a brand-new Lucas. (I think GH really underestimated viewer attachment to RC.) And the DC report creates more questions than it answers.

I have always felt RC should be on contract, but then again, I'm not sure if that was his choice.  Since we have a recast......

 

What happened with Ryan Carnes? No reports yet, but he will be missed. Good luck to Trudeau, who has large shoes to fill. Will he be utilized better than Carnes? time will tell. Lucas has been absent in his own story for the better part of the entire Wiley story. Being the adopted son of Tony Jones and Barbara Jean "Bobbie" Spencer, one expected him to drive story. Instead he's mostly been an afterthought in his first major on-screen romance (with Brad), mostly off-screen while Brad and Lucas' bio Dad Julian referred to Lucas. It's 2020 and the gay couple have always been reduced to watching "The Golden Girls" and "Knots Landing" while raising Michael and Nelle's son off-screen. Let's hope this recast brings Lucas, and his anger at the constant manipulation at the hands of the soon departing Julian and off in prison Brad to the forefront. JMO

I wonder if it’s as simple as Ryan Carnes not being based in LA and not returning due to Covid. We know Lucas (or any gay character) isn’t getting a story, so likely they just need him for a few episodes for Julian’s send off and then he will disappear for months once again.

I still can't believe they did it when RC has played him most of Lucas's time on the show at this point. 

 

It does seem like something is going on. Hopefully it is just a schedule conflict.

    • Sami's Three Stooges stole the show today

      I enjoyed their individual scenes with other characters before they all came together at the Pub to commiserate over their relationships with Sami. I thought that was broken down pretty well. I just wish it had gone on a little longer. And I actually found it kinda funny too lol it seemed more mature than what we're used to. That's the kind of humor that should be on a soap. But I'm not really sure about all this talk of Dante Vitali and Sami's engagement though, especially since it doesn't look like Ali Sweeney is coming back anytime soon. What's the point of it all if we're (probably) not going to see it? It also looked like today was the first round of Brady vs. Xander as well lol I enjoyed their fight, and I'm interested in seeing this storyline play out. Even though I'm sure that Sarah will ultimately go back to Xander in the end, I'd like to see what happens along the way, and how they and everyone around them are affected by this. Btw, Theo and Jada? Idk. I still think he had the most chemistry with Arianna. And he was a bit of a dick too. It also seemed a little out of character for Jada for her to be so OK with him being such a dick  And though Alex and Stephanie were very boring again and need much better conflict than this book stuff, I am interested in the mystery of who's targeting Alex.  And yeah, I know this is a nitpick, but why is the Square still open after the gala? Isn't it supposed to be really late at night? 
    • In fairness, Hillary and Bob Woods were thick as thieves again at least by the end of OLTL. But both she and I believe Mark Derwin not so subtly dissed Kale Browne in the oral history, lol.

    • Frat Boy Jr.'s reaction to seeing Luna was just awful acting. It was so bad that I started laughing.

      Does anyone have screenshots of it?
    • Geez, I hadn't heard that Doctors story. HBS really did go through it. 
    • No offense to the actors involved, but dear God in heaven: I don't know HOW viewers managed to get through that storyline with Maggie, Frank, Cal and baby Jill without running into oncoming traffic.  Then, to make matters worse, they dragged poor Diana into the mess!  I don't care WHO gets that damn baby!  Just wrap it up and move ON already!
    • Poor HBS.  To have to put up with Stephen Burleigh, who stuck his knee between her legs while rehearsing a love scene on THE DOCTORS, then told the director that's what he did with his wife; Kincaid, who had more hair on his chest and upper lip than Koko the Gorilla; Kale Browne, who taped his lines all over the OLTL studio floor, because he couldn't ever be bothered to [!@#$%^&*] memorize them; and Robert S. Woods, who apparently thought it was still 1979 and that he was still smolderingly sexy, so why should Bo Buchanan be stuck being in a happy marriage with Nora?  After all that, no wonder she jumped at the chance to play a lesbian on VENICE, lol.
    • @Maxim Thank you for the mini-review and clip from several pages ago. I appreciate you using the Bo/Alex clip as them meeting again by this point was a real surprise to me. The scene has some layers, getting a glimpse of Alex genuinely wanting the best for Bo rather than gloating. I was disappointed it ended with Tina dragging her out of the room for some much less interesting sparring (I did enjoy Alex pointing out just how quickly Tina got over Cord).
