GH: September 2024 Discussion Thread

Time to bring William Lipton back as Cameron

[Vee]

William Lipton has an Amazon show. He's not coming back right now.

[AbcNbc247]

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.

Is the show out yet?

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.

How was WL treated horribly? The show worked around his school schedule. IIRC  he told them he was not going to be back for more at the time he made his last appearances. I don’t like they way the story went either, but that doesn’t mean he was treated badly.

[Vee]

Cameron was treated poorly by Joss and the character was not a priority for the writers. But William Lipton is not Cameron. Lipton had a lovely time at the show by all accounts and has no ill will.

[Taoboi]

I think others would know more than I.

GH struck gold with the Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss quad and they ruined it. 

[carolineg]

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.

In the opinion of the posters here, who is the better pairing for Elizabeth, Ric or Lucky?

[BetterForgotten]

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.

Alexis, Kristina, and Molly scenes were great drama. Three actresses acting. Sam should have been in that scene.

[BetterForgotten]

I’m sorry but this Lucky and Holly stuff is such a snooze.
