He was the hottest man on that show at that time - period. They moved him away from Carly because of the color of his skin and dumped him on Alexis who, I'm sorry, but her best years were behind her long ago. I've loved Nancy on GH a lot in good times and bad. But pairing him with menopausal Alexis was done to neuter a Black man.

 

Shawn as a character never went much of anywhere interesting but fans have noted for years that it is a bad look that he's been rotting away in prison for Sonny. Maybe they intend to rectify that, but I won't expect much for the character or any Black folks on GH.

I expected a better reaction, but I agree Sean/Shawn was absolutely wasted. And he's found work outside of daytime. He's talented and I'm happy he's back. Now let's see the writing.

 

We have Shawn, Taggert and Curtis. Dayum. I'm happy.

 

Can we get a better Jordan please?

 

All of this.

 

I'm assuming he's getting out. He's on contract. 

 

I have my expectations in check. Talk is cheap in terms of diversity. 

 

But it's interesting to note how Y&R, DAYS and GH are all adding African American actors and characters. Now WRITE FOR THEM.

 

Right? But we know why. I wonder if they go there again.

 

Can we swap MAGA Jax out for Shawn? I'm good with that. 

 

And since we seem to keep adding people, where's Hayden? Now's the perfect time to bring her ass back.

 

And recast Steven Lars. The man's been in jail too for like 8 years right? Or did he skip town? I can't recall.

He went to jail. And I totally agree - Steven is probably the character that will have the most meaningful impact across the canvas, for several reasons:

  • Liz just lost her love in a tragic murder - she needs her family around her, and who better than her big brother?
  • Cam keeps moaning about how he doesn’t have a father figure in his life - next best thing, get Cam to bond with his Uncle Steve again!
  • Get Steve mixing it up in the hospital again - make him a challenger to Britt for COS.
  • And last but not least - an actual organic obstacle for Ned/Olivia - she never really resolved her feelings for Steven after he went to jail, and has trouble deciding which man she wants to be with. Combine that with Alexis finally getting sober and released from her jail sentence, and you have a new quad!

And of course, Steven was actually Franco's big brother too lol - i don't know whether that has been acknowledged on the show since that storyline with Hayden's mother and Heather Webber.

 

I'm also happy that Shawn is coming back. I always liked him.

A very scary thought just came to my head, because I had forgotten that biological connection...

 

I’ve heard on these boards (not sure if fully substantiated though) that Alexis is meant to be meeting someone very important in jail. What if that someone is Steven Webber - but now being played by Roger Howarth?

Oh gawd I hope not, it'd just be too weird for RH & RH to go from spouses (albeit with a brother in common lol) to siblings on the same damn show!

 

Perhaps it is Shawn that Alexis meets.

Exactly.

 

I'd also argue it's time to bring on BOTH Sarah and Hayden. I mean, Willow and Sasha can be written for. Why not them?

 

lol, that's true. They don't even mention it. I have to admit I didn't even think about them being related. LOL.

      Falcon Crest

      By te. · Posted

      I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication.

      It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.

      Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime.

      Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.

      French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By te. · Posted

      I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up.

      I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?

      Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.

      Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.

      Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
