What a cute photo; thanks!

I thought it would be nice to see Jeremy again sometime for an event too.

I thought SC was a great Dillon.  Obviously he won't return.  GH needs to go outside the box to find a new Dillon and not cast dull hunks like Robert Palmer Watkins.  Dillon has always had more depth than the Nathans and Chases.  I could see someone like Blake Berris working as Dillon.

The name dropped Mike a couple of times over the years, I think he came up during that dreadful Rick Webber returns story. And Laura had at least some scenes with him and Blackie during her 1983 return story.

I am not a Stamos fan at all. But when they get around to Leslie Webber’s tribute, I wouldn’t mind Blackie making an appearance. I know he bitched about just being a prop for the 50th, but maybe this would be different. Kin should be invited back for that one too.

My fear is that they will not make a huge event out of that one because Laura is very much marginalized right now. I watched a bunch of Ryan Chamberlain stuff from the beginning recently, and she was so front and center in everything when the consistent fan outcry got her back on contract. Now she barely had scenes with Lucky, which didn’t help his return at all. It’s been a couple of years since they really made Laura a priority.

And I don’t think Amy’s death was ever mentioned until Frank and Ron got there. I recall it being another cruelty from JFP- she fired her, then nothing when she died. Although maybe they did a total card in memorium, but no one talked about her.

I believe there was a card memorial, but can’t verify. TBH, Amy was such a peripheral side character and had very little close ties to anyone still active on the show at that point that a title card tribute was fine to me. It would have been more of a nice to have than a necessity to me.

Ewww no. lol. That said, I wouldn't mind a Dillon recast that still has a quirky element to him. As long as it's not a Spinelli 2.0.

Lol!  You dislike Berris?  I just need a recast with some quirk rather than a bland hunk.

Oh he's a great actor. So great that I don't like him.

 

I don't mind bland, but I know what you mean. Dillon could easily be the 'Manilyn Munster' of the Qs now so it would be fun to watch.

What actresses do we have in Dillon’s age range that he could be paired with? Lulu? We don’t need Willow with yet another Quartermaine.

I don't see a reason to bring a character back until you have a clear direction and/or partner for them. I'd def like to bring Dillon back down the road, but until there is a clear angle that doesn't just turn him into another disposable male or stuffed shirt businessman, that retains some uniqueness, I'd wait.

They brought him back with Rob Watkins as little more than a cheap spoiler for Dante/Lulu and nothing really came of it or him. (I wouldn't be opposed to Dillon getting between them again, but that would not be a long-term story or strong angle as Dante/Lulu are the money pairing IMO.) So I'd figure out how to reconceive Dillon first and who to put him with or how. It's not as though the show is currently hurting for Quartermaines - imagine saying that 10-20 years ago.
