You guessed wrong and I guess there is no need to be ironic to someone who was nothing but polite to you in this thread.
Unless you have other issues and this forum is the place where you let yourself run wild.

This is not the impression I had though

I've met royalty in my life, believe it or not..., and I've worked with millionaires... and let me tell you... One time I asked one guy who was staring at me... if he could be so kind to bring me a bottle of mineral water from the nearest store... I thought he was staff at the event we were doing. He said yes, I gave him money and he came back with the water. Very polite. Very casual. I was thirsty. 

Then later one actress friend came at me and told me - do you know who that is... It's so and so multi-millionaire with these legendary relatives that have connections with the entire world. The guy looked... like he needed a proper shower.

Looks can be deceiving is all I'm saying. Nothing more. You don't have to look like something to be something.

@Sapounopera @Antoyne I don’t care much for Adam Huss as Nik either. I’d like an actor with more presence in the role if they keep him on canvas.

I’m so glad to have Jonathan Jackson back. They seem to be writing Lucky more adventurous like Luke which works for me. I really liked his dynamic with the new doctor as well.

I liked all the hospital stuff with Laura getting the info on Lulu’s diagnosis from Porsha and getting the ball rolling on a liver transplant. Dante and Sam’s scenes were also pretty good, can’t wait to see how Lulu puts their relationship to the test.

Jane Elliott is such a master, Tracy overhearing Chase and Brook Lynn discuss Lulu while gardening and then running off to the hospital to visit Lulu at the end was so good, glad they didn’t forget their dynamic.

Brook Lynn recapping her history with Lulu was good history play as well but made me miss Adrienne Leon a bit, not gonna lie. I wonder what secret they’re hinting at her wanting to tell Chase. Could Gio be her kid from the time she was offscreen in the 00s?

Speaking of Gio, I liked seeing him encourage Lois and the slightly cockier dialogue play they gave him but Lord they’ve got to come up with something better for Rena to do lol, I was hoping this accent insecurity would wrap up after last week.

It was cool to see Robert and Anna scenes though I hope Tristan Rogers is alright. Glad Robert got on Anna for her Valentin obsession.

Brennan and Carly continue to have great chemistry. The idea of Jason working for the WSB is also much more appealing than seeing him be Sonny’s flunky again or moving coffee bean bags.

Looking forward to Alexis vs Ric and Tracy giving Dante some lashings tomorrow.

I can understand that. But, at the same time, to the best of our knowledge, Tyler Christopher did not have Greek-Russian ancestry. He was Scottish, English and German. But his darker features helped him, and Adam Huss has those features in a much more subtle way. Again, we've not yet see Huss beyond pinch-hitting for Marcus Coloma (who shouldn't have been cast), and he hasn't really played Cassadine much. I could see Huss vs. Constance Towers' Helena, but I can see why others wouldn't.

In truth, to recast Nikolas again would be futile from my opinion, especially since it's clear they're dedicated to Huss' work in the role and he's willing to work when called.

Him not being Greek or Russian has nothing to do with it. I am Greek lol, but I think that a German or an English actor with dark hair would be a better fit for the part. Someone like Rudolf Martin who played Anton on All My Children for example.
I understand perfectly what you say though.

    • Not having news about Tomas being recast is super disappointing. This triangle could be great if there was an actor with an actual pulse playing Tomas.    Leslie showing up at Nicole’s, I absolutely liiiive. AND this nasty heffa is gonna blame Eva for Laura’s accident

      . All of the cast mixing and mingling today was great! I never imagined some of these cast members ever interacting.
    • Guiding Light 1976 continues... Dr. Joe Werner’s double load, covering Ed’s patients as well as his own, has taken its toll, and he’s having chest pains. Joe arranges for a checkup at another hospital and then confesses to Sarah that the results show he has angina pectoris and must slow down. Dr. Justin Marler arrives in Springfield to join the Cedars staff. His purpose is to organize improvements for the surgical-cardiac wing. He immediately disrupts the staff by giving a premature interview, saying the hospital needs much improvement.  Sarah tries to avoid Marler and is noticeably cool to him. They were in love while in medical school, but Marler broke with her to marry a girl whose money and social position could help his career. Since Marler has criticized him for cutting back on his patient hours, Joe once again picks up his pace. After performing emergency surgery, he collapses in the scrub room, a victim of cardiac arrest. Marler finds him, and his fast reactions save Joe’s  life. Sarah,learning of Marler’s efforts for Joe, expresses unlimited appreciation.Although he’s recovering well, Joe now fears for his future and insists upon revising his will. Sarah is frightened by his attitude, but Joe is adamant. Mike’s client, Ben McFarren, was wrongly convicted of a crime and was in prison for fifteen months. When Mike informs Ben he’s been exonerated, Ben, embittered by his imprisonment, blames Mike for his having been there in the first place. Ben, released, will have a professorship in art at the local college in the fall. He’s working temporarily at the hospital and at the Metro, and he meets Mike’s daughter, Hope.Ben and Hope hit it off well from the first and soon begin dating. Ben tells Hope she’s naive and innocent, but she wants him to think otherwise. However, Ben’s increasing ardor frightens Hope, and she finally insists she won’t be pressured into sleeping with him just to prove-she likes him and is with it. Ben retorts that she’s letting them both down and walks out. Hope visits his studio, hoping to make him understand that she’s torn between her desires and the way she was raised. Ben tells her he understands but makes it clear that it’s his terms or not at all. Hope, to help Ben out, offers to replace the nude model for his art class. When the moment comes, however, she can’t do it, and poses in a bikini. But a local gossip columnist exploits the incident, and Mike finds himself defending his daughter to all his friends. But when Mike discovers that Ben has sketched a nude of Hope, he questions her integrity, whether her denial was truthful. Hope is upset that she must defend her morality to her father. Mike also can’t help but wonder about Ben’s intentions toward Hope. Hope becomes confused, as Ben’s feelings for her seem to vary day by day. At one meeting he will be open and affectionate with her, at the next remote and cool. Finally Ben explains to her that this is the  first time in his life that he has someone he can trust, and he still occasionally can’t overcome his suspicions and fears of being hurt and withdraws. Unable to discuss this with her father, Hope confides the situation to Ann, who has helped her with advice and a listening post before. Ann is able to understand, as she can empathize with the problems of living through an unhappy and difficult life, something beyond Hope’s experience. She makes Hope see that Ben has found only betrayal in his life until now and he can’t help but be cautious. Hope soon discovers there’s a side to Ben she’s never seen before. When his boss at the Metro imposes on him unfairly and then rides him about being an ex con, Ben reacts with a rage that frightens Hope, but he manages to keep his control.. Ben realizes he overreacted when Hope remarks about his violent temper, but is surprised and deeply affected to see that she’s offering him support instead of castigation or rejection, when she defends him to Mike. This leads Ben to admit to Hope that he loves her.  But Mike is worried. He tells Hope that while he was defending Ben he looked into the young man’s background and found that he had a history of short temper and violent outbursts. And, based on what’s recently happened, Mike warns Hope that Ben has apparently not changed. Hope refuses to let Mike’s argument deter her; in fact, she asks Mike if it’s not possible that this very past just might be the best incentive Ben has to do differently in the future. Now that she has recovered from surgery, Mrs. Stapleton is eager to return home, but Evie is very upset by this news. She wants to stay in Springfield, particularly since she has just started dating Tim. Rita, understanding her sister’s wish not to return to the slow-paced small-town life she so recently left, convinces her mother to delay her departure, explaining that Evie stands a much better chance to plan her future here. Rita herself is delighted that Ed’s attentions now seem exclusively hers. Her helping him study for the neurology boards has paid off: He’s passed the state boards and can now begin his neurology practice. Rita has told her mother that Ed is the first man she has ever seriously considered sharing her future with, and her mother concludes that her daughter is finally. in love. Rita is eagerly anticipating a celebration dinner with Ed following the good news, but her happiness is shattered when she catches sight of a man in the corridor at Cedars whose presence forms ice around her heart. She is so shaken that Ed, coming upon her at the nurses’ station, is concerned and asks her what has happened. She cannot discuss this with him but is withdrawn and upset. And, indeed, her worst fears are realized when late at night, after Ed has left Malcolm Grainger shows up at her door. Grainger bitterly threatens to ruin Rita by exposing the truth about what she did in Texas to her family and all of Springfield. Rita thinks she has managed to stall him, for a day, and, assuming he has gone, she rushes to the Metro to tell Roger that Malcolm is in town. Rita and Roger are unaware that Grainger followed her and is standing outside the door of Roger’s office, listening to their conversation. Roger tells Rita he doesn’t want Grainger to know he is also in Springfield, and orders her to meet with Grainger.
    • So limited that he was on Dynasty and AMC.
    • Denise was the best thing about that otherwise ridiculous plotline. I wasn't familiar with her work on Days of Our Lives or General Hospital but I could see her warmth and charisma as Mary even though the Another World storyline was a bit lacking.   
    • I don't know what else to say except we have lost another legend at a time when it feels like we are losing too many. I love that Denise Alexander never played Lesley as some perpetual victim, but as a woman and physician with integrity and backbone.  Rick and Monica made an absolute fool of her with their affair; yet, Lesley was someone who never made you pity her. Ladies and gentlemen, we aren't just losing veteran actors here.  We're also losing vital parts of this genre's legacy, and that just breaks my heart. God bless Ms. Alexander and her loved ones.  May she RIP.
    • Michael Nader was limited too?

    • For some reason, Tomas reminds me of a younger Dimitri from AMC.
    • Very sorry to see this news.  My first memory of her and Days was the story of her character Susan Martin shooting her husband after their baby died, and then of course Susan introduced Doug to Julie.  Enjoyed all of her work though.
