Doesn't JJ live in Ireland or another European country?  I could see how it would not be feasible for him to uproot himself and his family again for GH although I haven't seen JJ in much recently.  

All GH really has to do is find a guy in the right age range that has chemistry with RH (not hard) and go from there.  Lucky is a pretty special character with lots of nuances, but it's not a completely unrecastable part.  But I am someone who thinks most roles can be recast. 

ETA-Are you talking about JY?  lol.  Because what else is he doing?  He could come back full time.

Yes JY

lol!  Reading comprehension is not my friend tonight.  I don't think JY is doing anyone a favor by casually saying he might come back for a few episodes.  Wasn't he basically universally reviled as Lucky?  But.......in his defense he has no chem with LIz and had that weird Summer story with Luke that was awful.

He said it in one of those zoom reunions and the way it sounded was like: I'll go back to GH for a minute and help them out. I am like WTF? Didn't sound like he wanted to do it

I just think Jacob Young is done with soaps; if he were to return to a soap role, I think it'd be JR Chandler. I don't see Lucky or Rick happening again for him.

Well, after Rick got shafted to hell last time, I can't say I blame him.

Do you guys think Greg Vaugn could ever fit back into the role? 

Is Robert Kelker Kelly done with soaps? Could they not have brought him back as Bo all those years when Peter was gone?

I think JJ's Lucky has been gone long enough for GV to be fine.  He played such a different Lucky, but his Lucky is better than no Lucky at all.

I think he could, but I don't believe he would... if that makes sense?

I preferred Greg's Lucky. Jonathan Jackson always came across as an insolent child.

Harley.  When Ehlers left they certainly should've recast, SORAS at least one of her sons and appropriately recast Daisy.  Whether you liked Harley or not, she was a big tent pole of the show.  If written out, Harley needed to be gradually phased out and not dismissed with throwaway lines about being in Greece.

During BE's maternity leave in the early 2000s, they hired a capable and I think charismatic actress to temp for her, the actress's name escapes me, but they should have brought her back when BE vacated the role.

They should've SORAS both Zach and Jude since Leah who was born years after them was now a teenage while those kids were still in elementary school made no sense. They could've had Zach and Jude stay with Buzz and built them up with the teen scene until they found a recast for Harley.
