While I understand why Josh and Amanda feel the way that they do about scenes like this, I also think that maybe soaps aren’t the best medium for them and that it’s time for ChaLynn to get their happily ever after, away from Port Charles. 

Plus, it’s not like there’s a lot of story for them, except for the possible Gio thing. 

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.

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.

Very true. Was just thinking of this.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
