Members Liberty City Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Yeah; I re-watched his Locher Room interview. Michael Lowry three-way phone'd Warlock, he got to set and Valentini handed him a script and said, "We're taping you at the end of the day. You got this." And, I don't think he was a pinch-hit. He was a full-on replacement for Lowry. Skye could come back.

Members Vee Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Yes, but BW's sole purpose for appearing was to kill Ross off in just a few appearances. If they could've gotten Lowry for that they would have. Skye Chandler should not be within ten miles of running a core GH business. She can come in for her little stints though! I don't mind her causing trouble and staying off, off, off contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Well, it got Warlock three-months worth of employ, so good for him.

Members carolineg Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 I agree SK's AJ didn't get much to do at first. He did get the Jason brain damage story and he played the initial part of the Carly/AJ ONS. I think the show recast him directly after they slept together and Carly poured the booze on him to make him think he relapsed. I recall they re shot those scenes with BW for flashbacks. There is just a swagger of faux confidence that SK's AJ had. It worked so perfectly with the character. I also thought he connected well with SD, LC, and SBu. Considering the fairly sudden circumstances of SK's firing I do get the idea to cast someone that was known, reliable, and solid. BW never quite "fit" for me as AJ, but I did get used to him. He really did what he could with a thankless role once AJ became Sonny's favorite whipping boy. I wonder if we will ever find out who was originally cast as the AJ replacement. I would assume it would be a 'soap' name at least considering how front burner the AJ/Carly/Michael story was at the time. Brenda should kick Natalia right out of Deception and take her role immediately. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Extremely. The central story was his brother, Warlock's Ross was an expendable guest player who only appeared a few times. You don't want to know. Given the era, my bet is a primetime name who couldn't hack it or had other problems. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 It was beyond dumb Ross heard Tea "Died" He got custody of Dani Then found out that Eli was behind Tea's "Death" and was killed by Eli Todd/Victor found Ross' Body 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Is Skye still alive? I honestly cant remember how she was written out 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Yes. She last appeared in 2012 challenging Blair re: the resemblance between Lorenzo Alcazar and Tomas Delgado from OLTL, both played by Ted King. Ron never resolved that weird subplot due to the lawsuit, but Blair did end her engagement to Tomas who had promptly mysteriously disappeared overseas (which, unintentionally, cued up Todd and Blair reuniting on OLTL 2.0). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 And then, somehow, she married Martin Grey? Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 I do remember BW saying that Christopher Atkins had auditioned for A.J. - which would have been interesting to watch, lol - but I don't think he was the one they'd picked. I'd also take BW back on daytime in a heartbeat (although, maybe not as A.J. again, lol). Again, maybe not the greatest actor, but definitely one who puts in the work, which goes a long way with me. I didn't entirely hate him on ATWT either. And I thought he did quite well, too, at Y&R, despite not having much to do either time. (Hadn't he been on Y&R before, in another role?) Overall, though, it seems like no one other role for KS has landed the way Scotty has, and I think that's simply because no other show has written to his strengths. Again, a very handsome, good-looking guy - or, at least, he was BITD - who also could be very quirky. On soaps, they either write to one, or to the other, but never to both. Ironically, Ken Corday won't cast him on DAYS because he "doesn't get him," or so KS has said. Yet, for some reason, I think he'd do very well playing a Mike Horton recast, giving that character layers and colors that other actors haven't, while still remaining true to who Mike has always been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted January 8 Members Share Posted January 8 Yes, Shriner appeared in 2004 as Harrison Bartlett. I could semi-see him as Mike, although, would not be my prime choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 Someone probably said this already but Roger Howarth as Franco. Just no I might be in the minority but I found Billy's portrayal as a tortured lost soul AJ, to be pretty sympathetic. It's when they outright made him vengeful and psychotic and trying to get his son back is where the character fell off. It wasn't until later I realized AJ was on GH as late as 2005. But I totally concede that Sean K was the superior AJ. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 TBH, I don't think there's ever been a definitive AJ Quartermaine. Which is odd, considering his pivotal place in the show's history. But AJ's like casting kryptonite for GH, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted January 9 Members Share Posted January 9 With Beth Ehlers, on top of that diva tude she went in with, she shouldnt have been a newly created character, she should have been Julie Chandler or Laine Cortlandt 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
