Ryan did Well But serious some are acting like He was always Lucas. Lucas has been recast numerous times. Just hope he has story

Being Honest Outside of THe Baby Switch, Ryan Carnes did very little as Lucas. He was either absent from stuff Like The Nelle/Michael Custody suit or in a Coma Due to Ryan being busy. In Fact During his first stint in 2004-05, He was only on screen from July-Sept 04 and  in August 05

 

The Lucas that got the most story before this was Ben Hoygsten with Lucas' coming out and dating that guy, named Guy and Tony Dying

 

Im open to the recast. I just hope they actually utilize Lucas now

Because like I said, recast or not, Lucas is legacy. Even when he is not being written well (like the mentioned baby switch and its aftermath), yeah, people are going to be bugged because of this fact. 

 

Because of that, the way they went about recast...no announcement, reason, etc...is probably why people are feeling a kinda way. Heck, he did not even get an 'on air' announcement...and we know how jarring THAT can be for soap fans...especially the ones NOT online. 

 

 

I read the SOD Novemeber Sweeps information for GH and I suspected given what it said about Britt that Brad was on his way back. I also think that...along with a recast and WdR leaving...mean that Julian's days are sooo numbered cuz his role in the baby switch is coming out.

 

Hmmm...I find them both attractive. lol.

Bummer.  I like Ryan Carnes a lot.  But I also really, really like CJ Thomason.  Ben Hogestyn was my least favorite.

 

Anyway, Lucas is a huge missed opportunity.  So disappointing.  Considering he's connected to pets Carly and Sam, I'm surprised they don't use him more for those reasons alone.  I'd love to see him featured the way Lulu, Maxie, and now Brooke Lynn are.

I think Thomason and Hogestyn were both good, they just got virtually no chance to do anything on the show. CJ Thomason was excellent on the CBS slasher miniseries Harper's Island a few years later. That said, Carnes made the role his in the last decade by returning as a much more seasoned actor, and the way the show has consistently treated Lucas is shameful. I don't have any interest in Frank's latest [!@#$%^&*]-you move.

 

The show is in Last-5-Years-of-ATWT mode; it's a zombie soap with little life to it. It's either a constant wretched mess or dreadfully boring, and all he cares about is keeping it on life support and keeping it under his control. I'm sorry, I'm still not interested in those two anonymous white chicks I can't tell apart or Valentin or Wes Ramsey or the boring girl playing Joss who he's tried SO hard to make into Starr Manning, or any number of a dozen other things. I'm not interested in them doing nothing for characters of color or LGBT characters while expecting people to still watch all of Frank's favorites and the now suddenly very old Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco in 2020.

 

The show still has such potential and it's just consistently bad. That will never change unless Frank is unseated or it's put on streaming, and neither of those things are going to happen any time soon. I love GH but I don't pretend it's watchable when it's just plain bad and has been for many years just so I can say it's still on TV. I don't need it to exist.

    • The way this show handled Nikolas' shooting Hayden, Austin's murder, the long slow delay to getting rid of Cyrus, etc. we're likely to have it revealed in a year when Nina is 3 weeks away from leaving and has had minimal airtime.
    • Interesting. I love my Roku.  No, I don't know. Who? I mean Disney def does. I would think a number of parties have stocks.
    • Is he still spamming demands that they hire the campy chick from The Haves and Have Nots? Or whichever show it was. I don't think it's an either/or. I happen to think Dana, Dani, Eva, Nicole, Kat, etc. are all great. Certain folks aren't going to be some posters' favorites and that's fair enough. But I would argue most of those characters above (and several others) have caught on with a lot of the online audience. I've even warmed up to Martin!
    • We get it, you don't like this show or the actors. You've said that over and over again, Mr. Vanguard America/VDARE.
    • Lol at the WSB hot guy asking Joss if she was okay with betraying her friends.  Of course she is! Chase coming in hot at Dante was a choice. It's also quite hypocritical since Chase is lying to him about Dante's own child and making Lulu the bad guy.  Talk to the grown woman yourself Chase.  Don't make Dante do it. Lulu and Laura had some great scenes. The Rocco/Danny party is obvious an anvil for something happening and probably the Gio secret coming out. The Willow/Drew/Nina scenes were kind of anti-climatic?  I get why Nina chose this path as the way to get rid of Drew, but will anyone ever find out Drew was sleeping with Nina?  
    • I was reading the NYT article on Roku's purchase of FrndlyTV. As anyone who has read my posting knows, I think re-airing old soaps is an imprudent idea. However, I will admit that if large media companies are looking for more streaming content.  And, if advances in AI continue to make the digitization process faster and cheaper.  Those of you who want the owners of the IP to release anything in their vaults may have reason to be hopeful.  Because the makers of TV's want to get into streaming in order to encourage young people to get back in the habit of updating their TV devices every few years.  And, Roku's plan is market exclusive content, that you have to buy a Roku device to view.  And you-know-who has a ton of content to sell.
    • This was  the messiest hour of television I’ve seen since Kenya Moore asked “who is this hoe?”
    • details of the current Health Secretary RFK Jr's insane beliefs - Doesn't believe that germs cause illness; suggests HIV doesn't cause AIDS; suggests antidepressants are behind mass shootings; believes that vaccines are harmful; suggests chemicals in water are changing children's gender identities... and is quick to promote supplements to prevent and treat diseases, such as recently recommending vitamin A for measles and falsely claiming children who die from the viral infection are malnourished. https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/04/rfk-jr-s-anti-vaccine-stance-is-rooted-in-a-disbelief-in-germ-theory/

      I missed the reference at the time, but those DAYS writers really like jokey character names.
