Well, I feel Chris can play and have loved him as Teen Joey on OLTL and even what little I saw of him on Y&R. And he most def has aged like fine wine. And he's played just about everything you can think of outside of soaps so this should be interesting. 

That said...I will miss my Beast. He had great chemistry with FH and LW. And it is sad to not see a potential triangle go the distance. 

lol

That is not funny & you should not encourage that.

LW is the absolute best, you got that right! And when she & Charles Mesure put it all together it was like they got the sun to shine & the moon to come out at night. That's how magical they were!

Probably left to join BTG... 👀

If only. That, at least, would be an explanation one could believe.

Okay, now THAT...?  Has me feeling more than a little suspicious, lol.

It is feeling suspicious; I cannot recall of a time when a cast member was replaced at a fan event like this.

Between this, Mulcahey's tenure, and the frequent NAC speculation, GH is still king at suspense...just not oncamera.

Yup. Where's Dirty Soap when you need it.

Homeboy is on tomorrow, so this happened fast.

Sounds like Mesure filmed up until the holiday break, and then upon returning, McKenna was tested/cast.

I could only hope... but probably ditched this disaster of a country as soon as he could.

Same and same.  But .. at this point a plane seems less scary than the U.S.

Same.

Yup!

Of course, Frank will try and make the best of what has become a very awkward situation by giving us the hard sell on Carly and nuBrennan.  In the end, however, I don't think it'll make a bit of difference.  With this last-minute switcheroo, Brennan, along with the planned romance with Carly, is pretty much D.O.A.

Brennan was always DOA. He's a nothing character they elevated when they needed to give LW something to do.

Still, Chris McKenna will get some paychecks and he stays very busy as is, so this won't be an issue for his career.

Yeah. Unlike Laura and Chris can sell it...and I'm sure they will sell something because they are both good actors...it's a shame that these writers can't do nuances to save their lives and didn't pick up on the nuances in PM's run that would have made an actual Carly/Brennan/Anna triangle interesting to watch rather than something that turned out to not (immediately at any case) be DOA.

Because, the story I would have done - Carly begins a relationship with an African-American male - is literal poison to those people these days.

LW was very hot with Sean Blakemore. That got 86'ed the instant Frank and Ron arrived, though those things may not be connected (it may have happened slightly earlier).

I'm still pissed at PM being shoved out. It seemed like he had plans and was willing/hoping to shake things up.

But no, can't have that. So, GH is forever bland oatmeal.

If we're showing our angry sides, I too am mad about wasting Mulcahey. I realize its been a year. But I still think PM was the way to go.

And then Blakemore's return in 2021 was another wasted opportunity.
