GH: Former Y&R actor joins cast in new role

[Contessa Donatella]

OMG!!! But thanks so much for the quite involved extrication. I mean, he sounds like a creep.

And could have lasted longer if he didn't self-sabotage.

He's not a character you necessarily need in a very trim cast, but in a cast that is already so bloated you do wonder why he isn't there. I agree that he could be a good alternative in that age range to a group of men who are all very played out. And even though I have no use for Joss, it might add another dimension to her story if he is around. He could give her some corporate job and she might end up paired with some long lost Q (who is probably also a spy or whatever).

The hilarious thing I remember the most was the way Cane was also written out too. Not to mention I think they let Goddard film his final scenes without telling. 

All of the sudden Cane became the prime suspect stealing Devon’s money and I recall Jill & Devon had found out everything about him was a con and he left with his tail between his legs lol. I think? 

I think they mentioned it was Colin after all, but they barely mention Cane ever lol.

Yes, exactly.  It's not like I exactly miss Jax or wonder how he would react to certain situations. It's more of why Jagger, Natalia, Sidwell, etc and not Jax?  His daughter is front burner and he has a long rivalry with Sonny that is based on history not just blowing up Sonny's penthouse on a whim lol.  I am sure Ingo's various lawsuits are in play here.  I just don't understand why we are pretending Carly/Brennan are a thing when Jax would solve that piece of the canvas easily.

As I've said before, my only reason to bring back Jax (recast) would be to bring on a prominent and substantial love interest for Lois. Rena Sofer needs a real story of her own and Jax could be part of that. But so could a new character.

[Taoboi]

Disrespect per disrespect.

 

Heck didn't Devon get his money back off-screen?

Yep. Could use organic history but instead let's *looks at notes* bring on more newbies and prop them up by any means necessary. 

[Contessa Donatella]

If I were deciding Jax would not only never return but die offscreen. Go ahead & let Joss become a gazillionaire & also can she have Emma for her new partner?

[soapfan770]

Yes he did lol, by February he made the big announcement it was back around the same time Lily returned for good.

I haven't been this excited since Bradley Cole was rehired after being let go by The Guiding Light!!!

Am I correct that this is sarcasm?

SMH

THIS.  You could definitely bring on a new character and it could work.  Jax just has a long history of loving (the idea at least) Lois.   It would be a full circle thing.  I love Brenda/Jax probably more than anyone on this board, but that well is dry.  I think Lois/Jax would make a good couple.  Plus, you could easily put him in Nina or Carly's orbits as well.  GH introduces so many new characters it would be nice to have a Jax recast instead.

I'll go along with a Jax (recast)/Lois romance since we KNOW a Ned/Lois reunion ain't happening.

Frankly, the way he openly tried to rally his [stupid] fans against a pairing (or hell, a simple flirtation) with Beth Maitland felt very fatphobic. Like somehow he felt it was offensive to him for the show to pair him with a plus sized woman. He was an albatross on Y&R for years and he only has himself to blame for being fired and for almost totally erased there.
