Webmaster Errol Posted February 14 Webmaster Share Posted February 14 I doubt it'll play that way. It's 2024, seeing bigoted parents on soaps about children being gay is so 1990s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Well Given that Blaze keeps saying her parents are very religious , I could see it but not for Maria Santos. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted February 14 Webmaster Share Posted February 14 I agree, to a point. I just don't think it'll play exactly as people think. That's all I'm saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 I think you hit the spot. They didn't want to. Why would they? They're just trying to get the show on the air, hope to get a renewal & continue on & they see these people as what they are, actors in need of a job & in like fashion they need actors. Works out swimmingly. They don't have a responsibility to continue characters from another show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marco Dane Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Blaze could’ve been Maddie Grey and the show would’ve had a connection to AMC 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 (edited) Maria was never much of a character, and I don't see a reason to bring her back. With that said, casting Eva will only remind longtime ABC Daytime viewers of Maria. It feels like a lose-lose proposition. They should have cast another actress in the part. I also never thought Eva was that great an actress to warrant a high profile casting, but we'll see. Best of luck to her.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Not necessarily. Didn’t Eileen Fulton do this in the 1960s? Granted it was from ATWT to a newly created soap but it was as the same character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 (edited) I just don't see any need to indulge Frank's longtime fetish for creating an ABC "super soap" anymore. A few crossovers were fine 10+ years ago but it went way too far some time ago. Let past ABC stars come on this show in new roles suited to this show's canvas, as was custom for decades. Keep crossover characters to a minimum. Angie Hubbard or David Hayward I'd make a rare (and brief) exception for given their occupation and history with certain folks, but Maria or her kids? I loved Maria but I don't care. Crossovers should be few and far between, and most actors should come on for GH roles on GH.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Eileen Fulton in the 60s. Beverlee McKinsey in the 80s. Robin Christopher in the 90s. Was Somerset also the 80s? Jordan Charney & Ann Wedgeworth. A small gang from AW to ATWT in the 2000s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Eva La Rue is amazing, and The Young and the Restless wasted her as Celeste. I'm hoping her tenure as Natalia Rogers-Ramirez is more promising! Looking forward to seeing her. I concur, especially following the recent reprisal of Kassie DePaiva's Blair, which did feel out-of-character for Blair from my POV. Jackson Montgomery on the other hand? Sign me UP! But in the community Blaze is from is right on target, unfortunately. As disappointing as it is to say, I did fact-check this with someone I know, and they can confirm while not as prominent as the 1990's, it is still a reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
