GH: Former DAYS Actor Joins Cast


Recommended Posts

I could definitely see Vanessa on Bold and Beautiful as perhaps some head of a new fashion house that is in direct competition with House Of Forrester. Perhaps the character could have a past with Bill or Jack? 

 

Did Frank circle around the parking lot of Ralph's again for soap vets to offer them roles? Can he find ones who can actually play on-screen legacy characters we care about such as Lucky? Serena? Tommy?

The writing for Brenda was abysmal during her last lengthy stint, and it seems VM wasn't that motivated until those scenes when she was ending things with Sonny. Brenda's needed on the canvas, but I don't know if FV wants her there over his latest casting stunts and blunders. She with Lucky Spencer, Tommy Hardy, and Serena Baldwin; should be on our screens right now since their parents/families/friends are still on screen too, but he is probably busy circling Ralph's and Whole Foods looking for soap vets in the produce aisle and the parking lot.

I am sure Charles will be just fine, but I 'd rather see him on Days.  I don't understand why GH keeps hiring these "big name" stars when Brenda is just more relevant to todays GH.  I really don't understand Frank's hate for Vanessa/Brenda because it's clear they are just not interested. 

I don't know if bomb is the right term for that return.  It wasn't a ratings smash or terribly popular with viewers, but I think the expectations were very high.   The S&B wedding gave the show very high ratings. I think the best in like 5 years or something.  The story was bad, but it's been a decade and I am willing to forgive and forget.  All the show had to do was ditch the Balkan story quicker and cut Dante out of it and just focused on Brenda's main relationships (Sonny, Jax, Robin, Jason, Carly) and it would have been fine.   It was pretty panned at the time, but I can look back and say it wasn't as bad as I remember.

I deny that lame kid too.  Unless they make it Jax's or something it was just a stupid plot point. 

VM did not seem that motivated during her return, but I feel like there was a moment a month or so into her return she just realized it was all no good because she started fine and ended fine.  They really just needed to invest more in her and Sonny.  I know they got a wedding, but she literally had more scenes with Dante and Spinelli. 

I thought VM was fine when she returned in 2013.  Fake sleeping with Michael was not the best story, but VM at least looked like she was enjoying herself.

He can exist I guess.  And Joss can fall in love with him.   Or they make him Jax's and Trina can fall for him or make him an out gay teen like Vanessa's actual son.   It's stupid to have him be out there and not on the canvas even without Vanessa.

    • 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. 
    • My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.  I'm sure the writers sent Jim on an extended trip (and off-screen) because of Marlowe's illness.  But Finland seems like a strange choice considering the (then) recently cancelled location shoot.  
    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.
