Dev should've crushed on Cameron, and that should have been why he didn't want him with Joss.

Mark Lawson & Emme Rylan had good chemistry, but so much missed opportunity with Dustin. I always sensed nefarious vibes from him in the beginning, like a teacher using his position of power over students in a not-so-safe-for-work type of way....

Dev should have done anything other than what he did after the show wasted so much time on him.

I honestly thought Mark Lawson and Josh Kelly were the same person for a long time and wondered why they brought ML back as Cody.  I swear.   When I first saw Cody I was like wasn't he Lulu's boyfriend already?

I forgot the weird reason they gave why poor Dev lost his accent, lol.

I loved Mark Lawson on OLTL as Brody and I'll defend his honor. But he had no need to be on GH. Josh Kelly OTOH has a lot of possibility, Cody was just poorly introduced.

ETA: Please ignore the fact that I typed 'Josh Kelly' twice while defending these two actors not being interchangeable.

I believe you, lol!

I think that's the trouble with so many young actors on soaps today.  Many are so pretty and bland...and pretty bland.  They give nothing to the audience or even the writers, I'll bet, to sink their teeth into.

And right there, @Vee, you've just proved @carolineg's point, lol.

I think Mark Lawson gave a very visceral and heartfelt performance on OLTL but he had no purpose on GH other than for Frank to give more OLTL alumni jobs. Kelly I think has real charisma and fits in better. It's the indistinguishable Willow/Sasha unit I can't tolerate, along with cryin' Dex.

I think Dev was faking his accent and that's where the rumors started that he might be Sonny's long lost kid?  Idk, I clearly have no memory of that time lol

There are so many men on GH especially that seem exactly the same to me.  Michael and Dex look so much alike.  Obviously, I can tell them apart but if they started at the same time I would not be able to.

@VeeSasha/Willow still continue to be the same person even though they look nothing alike.  It's like each of them have half a personality, but even if they both merged their personalities into one it still wouldn't be exciting.

You make a good point, @Vee, especially about Josh's -- er, Mark's performance on OLTL.  That's what I mean when I say he really tries.  But I think it's hard to give good performances when your body is too stiff from working out that much.

Plus, I can't blame @carolineg for getting the two mixed up or thinking Frank had brought back Mark in a different role.  After all, it wouldn't be the first time he'd done such a thing.  (How many roles on GH have Michael Easton and Roger Howarth had anyway?  Have they set any records?)

You and @Vee watched OLTL much more than I ever did.  And to be fair, you all had to tell the Ford brothers apart, which I could never do.  So I am sure Josh Kelly and Mark Lawson are easy to identify after that.

Wouldn't THAT be a "daytime first"?  Taking two indistinguishable and boring characters and literally merging them into one before our very eyes?  It's the kind of stuff that happens only on Joss Whedon's shows!

Nah, I couldn't tell the Ford brothers apart either.  John Wesley Shipp (ex-Kelly, GL; ex-Doug, ATWT; the original Flash on TV) played their dad for a semester, and I was like, "No way would he have fathered sons that bland-looking."  And the only way I still can tell Josh from Mark is that Josh has no ass (thank you, @DRW50).

      Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them?

      Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.

      Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!

      That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.

      Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.

      I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.

      I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

      That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
