I think he cares enough to keep her gone for as long as possible, probably because of VM's personality rubbing him the wrong way allegedly but also because IMO he knows Brenda is much bigger than anything he has chosen to focus on on his show.

Probably.  I don't think VM is particularly eager to be back either.  Anyhow, it's a bit glaring when FV brings people like Lois and Jagger back who are very closely connected to her and frankly less relevant.  Not a diss to Rena/Lois, but she has very few connections to the canvas and Jagger has practically none.  Meanwhile you can stick Brenda in about 6 stories and it would work.  Whatever, it is what it is.  I am certainly not holding my breath for a return.

But then they would have to have story they wanted to tell with Jax, which they may not have. This recast John/Jagger is just a Fed. 

And, I've been using the fingers crossed emoji often!

At one point the only reason I could tolerate Sonny was because he was with Brenda.

What is happening at GH recently?  There's a record number of these miscast recasts.  I liked the actor in the first part of the episode, figured he was playing some aged character from 1980s GH when he bumped into Carly.  I even liked his interaction with Leo.  But then Anna ruined the character for me when she said "Jagger?"  This actor is too old and blond looking to be playing Jagger.  He'd be a decent recast for an aged Jax, but not Jagger.

This week has been terrible.  Having Spencer literally choke Esme like that was disgusting and I'm glad we're going to be getting a break from that character (who was wonderfully played as a child by that actor Laura was looking at in the picture frame today).  Laura & Kevin grieving was bittersweet.  I really hope Esme returns soon.  Nice to see Nicolas and Ace at the end of today's episode!

Again, the problem with the Jagger recast is not his age.  It's not even the fact he's not as hot as ASJ.  The problem is that he is ethnically wrong for the part.  ASJ and AH are both technically white, but ASJ is much darker and Italian.  I don't believe Jagger is of any particular ethnicity as defined on the show, but it does seem a like it's whitewashing the character.

    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
