I know but she should have lol

Hollering cuz I agree. 

 

 

I could have seen her as Maxie moreso then LuLu... tbh.

Lulu was more likable when Rylan was playing her, and Havins does have a warm aura to her so maybe she'll be good as Lulu instead of as Arabella on AMC.

I proposed Havins about a year and a half ago as someone who'd be a decent recast

why did you think so if you don't mind me asking?

Here's Alexa in Sweet Magnolias (?) in 2023.

 

That is so funny to watch since I do believe that is her husband in that scene.

 

That said...30 seconds in...she's giving JMB Lulu version to me, too. But I guess I would say warmer as well.

I also put her name forward, to be sent up the line. She was one of 4 names I said. Not that I am in any way looking for any kind of credit, not at all. One was Bree & they said no more hiring people who have already played other characters. The other two were Stephanie & Marci.

You weren't asking me but I tried to think of the age & of real talent & maybe a kind of feminine, soft, quality.

Yes, true, they married I think it wasn't too long after AMC. I can't think of his name. Played Jamie.

I feel pretty good about their decision.

I was venting with a friend about how unwatchable the characters had become in January of 2023 and I had done a profilre for the Hoppers thread for Havins. I told him they needed to shore up the Spencers and lose the Austin/Mason story etc. I told him they needed to get JJ, and I mentioned Havins (she was fresh in my mind) and a couple of non- soap actresses from Hallmark and other networks. He doubted Havins would end up back in daytime. 

Now, can we get Justin Bruening in as her cousin Lucas since Ryan Carnes isn't interested....

Speaking it into the Universe since ALL of Laura's babies are coming home this year.  

 

Hmmm...I don't know about Justin as Lucas though. I do wonder if they might finally recast since Brad finally popped back up a few weeks back.

Oh, it wasn't too long. lol. Happy to see they are STILL married after all these years, too. Adorable. 

 

I agree. I can't wait to see her. 

I had no idea Justin Bruening was on a Netflix show that is nearing four seasons. 

I hope his hair doesn't look like that all the time.

Well, with Hammy Finn and Dr. (not)  G-H gone, time to shore up a couple male doctors at GH. T.J. is a younger doctor, and now Isaiah has arrived. One more full time male doctor... (As long as they don't bring back that "block of wood" they used briefly as Lucas....)

LOL!!!

 

I mean if we are all about the mob...they are going to have to course correct the hospital back into the show somehow...

Pleasantly surprised. As a lifelong AMC fan (watched Erica in black and white as a child), the addition of "Babe" was painful. But I grew to love her and her trailer park mother KWAK towards the end. Pretty happy to hear it's Alexa. Wonder how she'll fill the role and I'm eager to see her again.

She struggled mightily against a very messy writing situation in her time at AMC, but she was always very good.

Agreed. She is a solid actor who was saddled with a character the show didn’t bother to adequately redeem. Any love Babe received was ENTIRELY due to Havins performance. Babe, on paper, was a monster.

Babe/KWAK/David never recovered from the kidnapping. David betrayed someone who loved him for a Trashbag that wouldn't give the time of day!

Anything redeeming about Babe was because of AH, but god, that character and her mother were such a cancer to AMC in its waning and final decade on the air. McTavish really went overboard in her last stint to prop those characters and make them happen to the detriment of that entire show. 

All Mctavish had to do is have the Kane Women get their revenge!
