GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

Hallmark or God's Family Network sounds like a better fit for them.  It's disappointing Brook Lynn became such a dud of a character.

Not to woman shame, but I think it's more of a Amanda Setton problem than a Josh problem.  He seems to be fine showing skin and I think he's just being a respectful co star taking her lead on these media responses.

I agree, because she's shown skin before, and even on Netflix, etc.

[Taoboi]

Now that I'm thinking about...yeah. 

 

I mean there has to be a better way to do this re: Chase/BLQ than this. Moreso because their story right now is baby-making. I mean unless Chase is going to turn out to be not fertile...

I'd never watched OLTL, so I can't say if Amanda Setton was any good there, but I have never been overly impressed with her version of Brook Lynn on GH.

Soaps - for good or bad - are a medium known for love scenes and showing skin. If that makes Setton uncomfortable, she should make her living doing Hallmark/Great American Family movies and call it a day.

I say recast Brook Lynn. Too bad Adrianne Leon no longer seems to be acting. I did enjoy her Brook Lynn very much back in the day.

Time to recast! I hate it because she was a perfect fit in the role, once upon a time.

And yeah, I think that’s nice of him to do. But… it’s just the wrong medium for that

And especially for, what’s supposed to be, a hot young couple.

Him or her?  JS was fine doing love scenes pre-BLQ and Amanda seemed fine doing that as well.  I think that all changed when she married and had kids.  I believe it has a religious basis, but I think it's Judaism and not Christianity so the Christian network might not work for her.

[Taoboi]

Very true. Was just thinking of this.

[Vee]

She had no problem being a vixen on OLTL and stole half the show. It's the marriage that clearly changed things.

[Liberty City]

Him!!!!

Shame Franky doesn't do temp. full-time hires, because I am sure Briana Lane would RUN back to the role.

[Taoboi]

Very true. And right now that is what Chase/BLQ story is currently going to be so...well...

[carolineg]

I am sure a lot of actresses would gladly take on Brook Lynn and do the part justice.  

It's great Amanda has standards and morals.  Unfortunately it does not work for her current role.  I am wondering how many roles she thinks she can get as an actress with such strict modesty/moral codes.  Acting is just not really that conducive to that.  It's a shame because AS used to be a stand out talent.

I think Josh can pick up movies on Hallmark pretty easily.  He's handsome and charming, but bland enough to book parts.  

[Taoboi]

What little I've seen of her during that year AS was out, I liked what I saw of her. 

[Liberty City]

I definitely warmed and was very sad when she did leave the role.

This is also the way I see it. He never used to have a problem. I suspect his new found practices are basically being supportive of his scene partner. While that in itself is admirable, I just think you either are or are not going to do romantic, intimate scenes. Halfway never seems to cut it.
