Members Khan Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 I'll say this much: just on appearance/looks alone, Matt Trudeau is much more appealing to me than Ryan Carnes ever was. Now, can he act? That's the question. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 But that's the thing..Ryan has been saying for years that he was not interested in a contract from what I hear here so he's been busy on the indie circuit. But also from here sounds like more going on than that. Or...Frank is just being shady. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 17, 2020 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 With Non Contract Roles though, soaps can do that if they want. Replace them if they dont have the time to film 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 Very true. But no annoucement. No voiceover. Nothing. Something in that buttermilke ain't clean... But...I guess we will see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 Yeah, it all feels like it’ll end up being a drive-by stint they just needed a warm body for. The problem, people actually give a sh!t about Lucas, and I don’t think they get that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 THIS. And no annoucement or the nature of it is only making it worse. Recast or not, viewers got to see Lucas grow up and he is legacy. That would be like randomly recasting any major character with no reason at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) Soap twitter is still dragging GH. It looks like Brad will be back. Edited November 17, 2020 by victoria foxton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted November 17, 2020 Author Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 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 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 (edited) 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.

Members Vee Posted November 17, 2020 Members Share Posted November 17, 2020 They won't, and you should stop excusing every tacky thing GH does like recasting a popular actor with zero notice just because casting notices get you excited. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted November 18, 2020 Members Share Posted November 18, 2020 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. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 18, 2020 Members Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) 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.

Members janea4old Posted November 18, 2020 Members Share Posted November 18, 2020 (edited) I don't know if they will give nuLucas anything but hopefully ... Brad is returning! Maybe he's just in scenes with Britt but hopefully he'll have scenes with Lucas. Edited November 18, 2020 by janea4old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
