GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[ranger1rg]

-- I like Adam Huss as Nik very much. He infuses the character with a warmth and vulnerability that's been missing. I don't understand these "But he's not a prince" arguments.

-- Jonathan Jackson is a good actor, but those scenes were yawn-inducing. I feel like we've seen them dozens of times before. No flowers from me for the writers on that.

Given Tracy's scenes today, i'd say yes they will.

The problem (for me) is that he doesn't look like a prince. Not that he is not one. 

He doesn't look like a Cassadine. He doesn't look like a Greek Russian prince. He doesn't look like someone who has met Helena Cassadine once in his life. Isn't this who this character is supposed to be?

I still don't understand these "But he's not a prince" arguments.

We'll just have to disagree on this. GH has cycled through recasts with far too many characters, and I don't think it's necessary for another one. We're also getting a new Lulu. Enough already.

[Sapounopera]

The crazy recasting game gave us the ideal Molly.

New Lulu is good news, because I didn't care for the previous one. 
I wouldn't mind another recast for Nik if the new actor fits the part.

But I get that some people can't deal with constant recasts. I am not in a position to do so, I am currently watching Ryan's Hope, so....

I'd say give first refusal to Adam Huss for a long term gig as Nik. If he passes, recast. 

[titan1978]

I don’t either.I have enjoyed him way more in essentially a handful of episodes than I did MC after his first 6 months or so. I felt he was very overrated and got lazy real quick. 

[ranger1rg]

Adam Huss would not refuse another gig as Nik. He's also not a big enough name to get a first refusal on a long term contract.

[Contessa Donatella]

Add me to the people who do not get the "Not a Princers"!!! AFAICS, Adam Huss looks the part & his acting is absolutely on par plus before he ever taped his first scene he looked at tapes of Tyler & of Bechtel, for a reference point. Doing that kind of homework, on his own initiative to me makes him a keeper.

FF through Brennan, Carly, Jason, Anna, Robert, Lois and Gio.

I am intrigued by Lucky's return, liked what I saw from Isaiah, loved the hospital scenes, Chase and Brooklyn and of course... Tracy

I don't want to like Brennan. But he makes that impossible. Brennan using Carly to get Jason to come to him was inspired. 

I really wonder what Carly's reaction is going to be when she finally learns that it was Brennan who was her savior. 

What is this supposed look?

[ranger1rg]

I guess Nik needs to show up wearing a crown on his head.

Remember that margarine commercial? 

We were talking today about OG Lucky. Remember after he went cross-country by himself then he had a storyline where he was newly tech savvy. We'd see him in a room, seated at a table, with a laptop in front of him & the point was that he was going online via modem, which was a new thing & a cord snaked down from the laptop but just dangled in the air. It was never plugged into anything!!!! We got more belly laughs out of that "unplugged" tech savvy moment!!!
