I said Jax.  But mostly because if Frank was casting out of spite, Ingo would be the first one to get recast.  Not ASJ.  He is still much more relevant than Jagger even if I don't see a need for him.

And for everyone who keeps asking.  No, Jagger has never specifically identified to any sort of race/ethnicity/background.  The name Cates doesn't suggest anything in particular.  Both Stone and Jagger looked darker and ethnic.  Gina never did.  But again, to me it's the same thing as casting Brenda with Terri Conn, KMH, or any of the other hilarious blondes that have been suggested in this thread.  Brenda is to our knowledge Caucasian, but Vanessa clearly isn't.

I'd have the same issue if Jax was cast with a non-Australian.  No one likes Ingo, but if they cast an American white guy it wouldn't be right for Jax even though they are both white.

Now Stone always looked quite pale to me, not dark-complected at all. It was a very striking look. Not olive-skinned either. So, I just looked at a Bing Images page of Robin & Stone & in most he looks pale but in a few he looks dark-skinned. Maybe they had him made up to look pale because he was ill.  Hmm.

But who cares? Why do we need to add Jagger back to the show? What is Jagger's relevance to today's already overcrowded cast and what is so interesting about this unrecognizable recast?

I'm sure this actor is a nice man. Lots of actors are nice people. But if I didn't know he existed 48 hours ago I'm not going to start the White Country Radio Jagger Fan Club just because he seems nice and happens to share the same character name as a guy who last appeared on the main show almost 30 years ago and whose footprint on the current canvas is nonexistent.

Yes he could just be FBI agent Bill but why not use History. Its Canon that Jagger is an FBI agent. He has connections with many still on the show: Sonny, Mac, Felicia, Maxie, Laura, Robert, Anna, Jason, Ned, Lois, Scott, Lucy & Kevin

So there are many possibilities. Now will GH use them. That is what we will have to wait & see.

 

This board and the internet as a whole doesnt speak for all GH fans

 

I am sure there are fans excited to see what Jagger does

Exactly.  What is he going to do that another random FBI agent couldn't?  Talk to Olivia about Leo?  Go a few rounds with Sonny talking about things that happened decades ago?  Say hi to Lois? Form a buddy cop team with Dante?  It's such an odd choice to cast Jagger again when no one ask for it.  Like...ever.  Even when ASJ was on Nightshift pimping to get back on main GH and had some buzz no one cared.

None of these characters need to spend their time talking to Jagger about the past.  Maybe Scott.  And also Jason doesn't remember Jagger at all so it would all be moot because he left town before Jason had his accident.

I said it, too. If he could master the accent (not entirely necessary) then Adam J. Harrington would've been an ACE to play Jax. I think if Robin were on the canvas I'd be a bit more excited to see Jagger but... yeah, this just... I don't know. Feels like talks with Ted King fell through so they went to a random plan.

Okay, but Miguel Morez could show up not played by Ricky Martin, but as a blonde man singer/FBI agent and find Jason and it would have the same affect.  There are no real ties or stakes here.

He looks much more suited to Jax.  I feel like you need the accent to be Jax though.

Ted King was in talks with GH?  Dammit....why did that fall apart?

    • Yes, just so.  Thanks for the info. I could tell this was going to be a big thing with ShawnD in this danger! Especially love that the little guy is Andrew!
    • I think the shocker would be if he's NOT playing Dumas. That's where Josh Griffith plays most of his stories. Now they have Cole "self-isolating" because they don't want to put up that hospital set. Will Cole cough himself to death at the GCAC? What a "storyline." I can't believe how much JG is playing with us regarding Nick and Sharon. The teasing has become pathetic, especially for Shick fans who want them back together. My guess is that he'll reveal his real name once he is exposed.
    • Maybe we'll meet Leslie's mama who'll be a former Articulette and they'll build the rival family from there that a lot of people seem to think is missing. It'd make sense considering Anita's been hammering on about going on tour and reviving her music career. 
    • hahaha at the Brennan shade.   But even I saw this and have to agree. What's really sad is that some of the person on that list could easily have a love interest that is on the canvas. They just need to be written for. 
    • The thought has crossed my mind. Tricia Mann-Grant did say in her EW interview w/ MVJ and DD, that Leslie wants to be a Dupree just as bad as she wants Eva to be. I believe now that's the direction they are going in, that maybe she is just obsessed with the family. I could be wrong though.
    • True. But I have always had mixed feelings about that twist. Since I love the Damian storyline which already had twists and turns. Also I could not wait for a new powerful AND BLACK businessman to mix it up at some point with Victor. It just seem like another twist that was added on for twist sake. And also for a character (whether I love him or not) to hijack a new and refreshing storyline so they can be propped.    Once good thing that I can say about JG is that he loves to keep the Abbotts in rotation. So I could see that happening with Diane. I don't think she has mentioned her backstory, either. I would be intrigued. 
    • That's how I feel. Beats could have been played for the past couple months wherein Dante and Gio interacted and had a difference of opinion -- or something. I don't know. I do know that this crushing rant that blames everything on Gio is absurd. -- Reading over all the comments here about characters and couples, it's kind of amazing that we have any show left considering the number of times actors and writers and execs were given influence to make major character and story decisions. Too many cooks in the kitchen.
    • Lol. But Jeffrey was weak to mama. Leslie can go dead because anger is a great motivator via Martin defending HIS mama and just not taking ish altogether. This ain't how it should be. They need not run the show like this. It's too noticeable. The way Eva said mama reminded me of Penny from Good Times. Instead of physical abuse it's mental abuse.
    • Oh, I see! You posted this on the general retro soap thread because of the voiceover.
    • Yeah, I agree. It's part of the reason I have shade picked on Martin's Secret being so on the backburner that it was about to fall off of it. With Dani/Bill/Hayley being the main tale to start us off and backburned and the SilkPress storyline being well paced, but not set to explode until May, Martin's Secret was the other main storyline that could have been developed. And after giving it a nice slow burn to start off, the story upped and vanished in Month 2. That left the show having to rely on mostly B/C stories to stay afloat to various degrees of success.
