Members janea4old Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) That Stitch-as-bio-father speculation has been circulating for many many months, ever since Stitch was in town last year stalking Abby and holding Mariah captive. It's just speculation but ... Why was Stitch in town? He said it was to go to a retirement party for a former colleague at the hospital, and then he was going back to wherever he was living, and that he had to go back home to be near wherever his son Max was institutionalized. But then why did Stitch take that colleague's job at the hospital? Had he been around way back when and sneaked into the hospital to mess with the conception or implantion process? As mentioned above, the *speculation* is that he wanted to replace the child that Abby miscarried. I hope Dominic is not Stitch's kid. Stitch's son Max from his first wife, Stitch's sister Kelly (played by Watros and McClain), and his mother Maureen (played by Meredith Baxter), and his dead father *all* had serious mental illness and violence issues. And then there was Stitch's behavior last year. The whole family had issues. The genes are there. There is no way I want to see Abby raising a violent child. The character of Abby is too vapid, and M.O. would not be able to handle that. And the show couldn't write it. Plus, if this speculation came true, then they'd write Max escaping from the mental institution to kill his baby brother. All awful.

Members Faulkner Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 Robert Newman is already 3,000 times better than RB, and I’m only 15 minutes in. Burgi was so wooden, as if he were reading his lines. RN makes the stodgy dialogue come alive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 He's already had scenes with EB and MTS. I can't stand Billy. Gawd how that character has been ruined. I'm so sick of seeing him on screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 And of course, Billy’s being a pissy little bitch to Sally. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 Every time a Newman complains that Sally got Summer an amazing job, one that Summer loves, I just roll my eyes so far back in my head. Like literally Summer could quit and come home if this was just the worst thing to ever happen. Hell now she's offering her mom a job. I wish the show would just stop mentioning this. I'm not familiar with Robert Newman's work on GL but he was fine today. But I also enjoyed Burgi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 Kidnap you and replace you with a double who rapes your wife?.Forgiven and forgotten Arrange to have your rival's husband poisoned to frame yours? No worries, in fact it's kind of a turn on for the poisoner and victim who are inching towards each other. Try to murder the man who ran over your daughter? Go work for him. Get someone a job that they were free to turn down but chose to take and ended up loving it? Unforgiveable! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pdm1974 Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 I thought RN was pretty good, too. I think he'll settle easily into the role. Otherwise....today on The Middle-Aged and the Bored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted February 9, 2022 Members Share Posted February 9, 2022 And I don’t think he seemed *that* odd next to AH, but we didn’t have any lovey-dovey stuff yet. It’s overkill for someone who hasn’t done anything that horrible. Maybe this is a long play to get viewers to root for Sally—have her horribly mistreated before her inevitable triumph—but it’s not fun to watch, and this is the namesake of Darlene Conley’s Sally Spectra, who could read a bitch for filth! It’s kinda degrading. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Broderick Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 Same here. I never disliked Burgi (though I found the character awfully dull), but this new guy has injected way more "spark" into the scenes. It was obvious from the second he looked up at Adam in his very first scene. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 Look, RN didn't last as long as he did on GL (with OR without Kim Zimmer) because he was just okay. We longtime GL fans have standards, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 I saw that too! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cruising Soaps Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 RN just fits. It was easy to see him. I too watch GL for a long time. It is great that he is on a soap again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 Robert Newman is SO much better than Richard Burgi in this role. Burgi brought good looks, but nothing else. He was clipped, short, emotionless, and never really threatening. I’ve seen RB play other roles really well, but for some reason, Ashland was never a fit. When I read that he had chemistry with Amelia Heinle, I couldn’t see it. RN was like a shot in the arm. I call it a very good recast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 10, 2022 Members Share Posted February 10, 2022 LOL, someone like EB just needs to go on ahead and break that fourth wall and say "Why the hell do we keep talking about this $hit, when I was Summer's age, nobody handed me $hiy, I had to fight for my opportunities. She loves her job. Now would you all kindly shut the hell up about it!" RN is a true professional. He endured, not just with or without Zimmer, he endured through those Peapack years, still being a viable character and actor, which is no mean feat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
