Damn.

Trying to compete with Nick Chavez?

Completely agree that Cam needs to be brought back on the canvas. But I wouldn’t blame WL if he didn’t want to come back, even if he hadn’t moved on to something else. The way he/Cam were treated was disgusting. 

I still think Giovanni Mazza could have been a recast Cam.

Abc, I agree both that Cam needs to be brought back and that WL/Cam was treated awfully. But if GH decides to recast, I hope they take their time. IMHO, WL is a real standout in the role, and with him as the "baseline," I'd expect that the vast majority of recasts wouldn't work very well. I think GH would be best off to see how WL's Amazon show does. If the show does well, maybe that's where WL fans will get our WL "fix." But if the Amazon show tanks, I vote for GH being conciliatory toward WL and either hiring him to appear at least fairly regularly, or if he wants to pursue other things, hiring him for brief runs at least, let's say, quarterly. Only one problem with this--I concede I'm not being very realistic.

This is a video created by one of the fans working on the BringBackBlaze fan campaign. It's not my work but I have to say that I am proud of it. BTW, we get it that it might be some time before bringing her back would even be considered & we're fine with that. We're very serious about "Representation Matters" though. If you wish to view it, I invite your comments, of course.

I definitely think it's a case of Cameron and Will Lipton not being utilized correctly.  I don't think Lipton himself was treated horribly.  The show just didn't prioritize his character and WL moved on to do other things.  At this point I'd look for a recast Cameron.  He still feels like a missing piece in the teen/young adult set especially with Lucky coming back.  

I like Lipton and think he's great.  I also think Cameron would be a pretty easy role to recast.  I don't think he's as memorable or as dynamic as NAC's Spencer, so I'd go for it if I were the show.  Whoever said Gio would have been good Cameron recast is right.  GM would have been fine as Cam.

None at this point. Both of those pairings have too much baggage to ever really be viable to me again. 

I think would be interesting to give Liz an older love interest with a troubled daughter around her age that hates her and hates that her father is now in love with someone her age. Think a modern twist on Rachel/Mac/Iris. However, these writers won't invest in writing anything like that.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By prefab1 · Posted

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By Broderick · Posted

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
