Unless it's HW I don't want it.

This dude can stay since Jake and Aiden really aren't that far apart in age but he def is notably and awkwardly older, and strangely so for Jackson and Herbst. DRW's comparison to Depression-era teenagers and their parents is accurate lol. Though if it were up to me Rocco, Aiden, Georgie and maybe Danny would go back to being 9-12 tomorrow. I just don't care.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Hudson West is done. I hate to say it.

I think he's well-cast in the role although I suspect Crew Morrow auditioned for Aiden, too, given that he said he auditioned for both Days of Our Lives (Tate?) & General Hospital prior to being cast on The Bold and the Beautiful.

CC comes off too old to be Aiden, but I'm sure he'll be replaced again.  HW has been pulling his weight better and longer than most child actors go. He deserved a contract and to be part of the next generation high school to college characters (unless it was his choice not to).  Rocco loks too old as well, but Finn Francis Carr's scenes with Dante and "Lulu" talking about himself came off really well, especially when he talked about a girl maybe "checking him out". Violet, on the other hand, that mess needs to move away with her dad.

I also remember the scenes where Elizabeth invited Lucas over to dinner with Brad for Aiden's benefit. They could have followed through over the years but important <cough> characters like Frankles and Hammy Finn were more important<coughs>. Lucas was shortshrift, as always.

I don’t get the high Hudson West praise but Jake was still a dead baby the last time I watched before tuning back in in 2023 so I don’t have any attachment to him as a performer. He’s not awful but I didn’t see him doing anything outstanding with the Charlotte shooting or Jason return rebellion that would make me mad if he got replaced. Jake’s college send off scenes felt very “see ya later kid we’ll be SORASing when the time is right” and I’m more than fine with that.

Last I spoke with a rep at ABC, Hudson West was still playing Jake. Additionally, I'm aware that Hudson wants to continue playing the character but the show just hasn't been using him. That said, I do expect them to recast because Hudson is turning 17 in March, and Colin (new Aiden) is somewhere between 22-23 in real life, having graduated H.S. in 2020.

Colin was solid today so I am open to see were they take Aiden with him in the role.

With how they wrote out Jake and with WR  (Cam) busy with Music and his Amazon show I would not be shocked to see recasts of both Jake and Cam if GH wants them for longer stays.

I've seen that everywhere as well, but they also said William Lipton would be returning for visits  and he came back a lot later for a funeral. I'm simply saying that he's been around for a while and deserved to be upped to a contract rather than being shipped off to an art school in another country. Especially now that they (ugh) brought Jason back. At the very least there is an opportunity to play the beats, every couple of weeks of the two connecting -- positively or adversely. With Charlotte off canvas, create a new character for him to interact with (or age Georgie a year or two). Same with Aiden -- add Tobias (nicknamed Toby or not) in a once every few weeks role.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
