GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

I believe they would have to recast if so.  Trina completely forgot about her father that raised her so it seems unlikely.

[Liberty City]

LMAO. I'm OK with Jagger being gone and never mentioned again. Adam J. Harrington wasted.

[Errol]

This.

That.

Love the phrasing.

That said, IMO, Jagger ain't dead. Much respect to the actor portraying him, but blonde John was not Jagger. I don't know who that impostor was.

[Taoboi]

How funny to see the name Taggert as I drop in because I was just thinking that isn't this month or next two years since his last appearance? Well, was his last appearance when he broke down in the elevator over Trina's parentage? 

[carolineg]

I was thinking at some point down the line the show might bring Stone Jr. (2.0?) to PC and avenge his father's unsolved murder or something.

I don't know who that Jagger was either.  Strange casting.  The actor was all wrong for the part even if I thought Adam Harrington could act.

[Bright Eyes]

Well, of course, it's unlikely. But in the what-if fantasy world, I wonder if the actors/characters would work well together.

[Efulton]

I would much rather see Lois with someone young and exciting over being with Taggert.  Rick Webber Jr or have a scandalous affair with Dillon Quartermaine.  Tracy would lose her mind.

Wagger was so bizarre. I still don't care about that dude and I knew what would happen to him from the beginning. But it is crazy they pretend like it didn't matter Sonny stone cold killed a fed. I'm sure they will pick it up in a year or two to try to save face and make it important for some other plot point, like how they forgot all about Austin, Nikolas shooting Hayden and letting Shawn take the fall, etc.

He was mediocre and folks acted like he was Douglass Watson because of that one Mulcahey speech!

The answer here is the same one to anyone who is familiar with Donna from BITD: She implicitly believes she unofficially works here and has a position of authority in fandom. She does not.

Just because Taggert is so anti Sonny I don't see that working for Lois.

I agree with all this.  

I still thought Harrington was decent.  He was just completely wrong for the role.  Weirdly being hung up on Karen and Stone was a strange choice too.  They've been dead for years and years and he wasn't married to Karen when she died in a car accident and didn't even show up to Stone's funeral.

 

Correct and Donna is acting like she didn't PM people like me this info about Drake months before he passed away.

I wonder what happened to Jagger's son? 

BTW, did Jagger ever go back to the Bay Area to see his son the entire time he lived in Port Charles?

And all I want for Lois is to modernize her look a bit.  It's cool that she is graying, but now they need to remember she was a rock executive, and have her look a little more contemporary.  More Jenna Lyons, less Six from Blossom.

And, in fact, that is exactly what I did do, offered a sincere apology, and a year went by without it happening again & during that time I paid an unbelievably high price. And, during that time I did not speak of it. I did not offer a defense. I just took my lumps. I had been too upset to discuss it. I believed that I would not be believed. And, now I have finally made one statement & your interpretation of my actions is that I come back with excuses, defenses & distortions - whatever the heck that means - and, yes, some people choose not to believe me when I have been nothing but truthful ... forever.  So, your statement that all I needed to do was apologize, sorry, not what happened.

You’re shallotpeel???

[carolineg]

I believe Jagger said Stone was in an assisted living community and thriving.  So Jagger wasn't exactly a part of his day-to-day life.  We know absolutely nothing about Stone's mother besides that it's not Karen, so it's possible she's more involved.  On Nightshift it did seem like he was the main caregiver though.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, I said some stupid things but I did not act on them.

Yes. 

[j swift]

Also, can't we assume Jagger's sister is still alive? @carolineg
