I love Marcus but he only had one scene with Spencer before  (NB's last episode) so yes the selling point will be his connection with Genie Francis. If Tyler was still Nik, then it would be both of them but thats not the case. Im sure Marcus & Nicholas will work well together

I thought Bechtel was a considerably much better actor in the last few of his guest appearances I caught; he had very little technique as a kid and became unbearable to watch IMO, especially when Frank and Ron had him on everyday. But as a guest-appearance teen he eventually became much more skilled. But I knew he was getting a lot more work outside GH so I didn't think he'd be around forever. I hope his obnoxious social media presence with his mom or whatever it was has improved since the old days.

Also anyone know why William Lipton is recurring? Personal choice????

Yeah I know Frank waited to the last minute to recast but Brass probably wanted the actor to be on contract besides being aged to 18 like Joss, Cam & Trina

I'm glad Spencer was recast and am looking forward to seeing this new guy in the role. Hopefully he's good. I can't wait to see the look on Nik's face when he realizes that his own son is the stalker. 

 

I do have to laugh at Trina's party. It's two friends and a bunch of adults. Why in the world is Nina hanging out there?

Aww...how sad!  Bechtel's Spencer was probably the most charming child character in GH's history (right up there with Robin and Lucky).  They should NOT have recast him.  He was so cute, so funny, so much more entertaining in his smaller stories than the major adult story lines on the show during those years.  I loved his character's relationship with Britt and Laura, especially, but he also played well off all the other veteran actors playing Luke, Tracy, Edward, Sonny, Helena, etc.

 

The new Spencer recast looks like he's related to the the recast now playing his father, but he's doomed if he's already mired in the annoying teen set led by Joss, Cam and Trina.  This new PCU class is the worst in generations.  They need to cast a new Brenda and Jagger quick to salvage that boring whole class of Karens.

I was worried we'd be stuck with that kid forever so I'm super happy the recast finally happened. 

 

Joss as the center teen will be just as bad as Starr Manning as the center of the teens.  Joss and Cam should go off to school together and be replaced by 2 new teens.

I agree. A little stiff/nervous but it kinda worked for the character lol.

 

I also care more about Spencer and Laura. And honestly, Spencer and Lesley ... and Spencer and Britt ... and Spencer and Hayden ... and Spencer and Cameron (whom he always hated)

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
