Ok I heard rumors on a podcast that GH wanted to do a gay bullying story with Aiden but JJ vetoed it. I know he is religious but his mentor was Tony Geary who was married to a man for decades.

So I'm Not sure what to believe

Plus why give JJ veto power on story?

Idk man

Frank, or whoever clearly didn't want JJ back or reunited with Liz. So, why would they care so much about what he wanted or not?

Right

Sadly GH never gave Aiden anything, so any actor can't do anything with the role. But they need to find an 18 to 20 yr old who looks 16 to play the role. Sorry Colin

I just don’t see this as being real. He couldn’t even get a story with Liz like he wanted, barely had a handful of scenes with Genie (which he wanted more of), or much of a story at all to be honest. And also as you say, Geary was very important to him. I just don’t see JJ as the problem here.

The original storyline was setting up so much rich material, even when it was filled with characters I gave zero f*ck’s about (Stafford’s Nina, Valentine) I was invested. You had this sweet and shy boy who was clearly going to be gay (and also neurodivergent IIRC). His cousin Charlotte was bullying him for both. Nina didn’t believe it was true, and thought the whole thing was teacher Willow’s fault. Valentine was vacillating between Nina and Lulu, and Lulu was ready to intervene and did believe Willow. And you had Liz wanting to defend her child, while also being careful not to push Aiden to say something they were not ready to articulate. And her other boys were also very sweetly on Aidan’s side.

That conflict the show ran away from could have been an engine that keep story churning with natural issues between several generations for years!

If it had fully been told it would have been very Agnes Nixon. The issue storyline where every character had a believable point of view and the whole town had something to say about it. As it was we didn’t even get a gay prom out of it. They are so feckless!!

You write it out so well here - as you said, this could have gone on for years and affected many complex relationships.

Even if he did they could have continued the story once JJ was gone. I think they got spooked by the election and the backlash in culture more than anything.

Sadly I agree

Exactly. Frank’s punk ass has run from LGBTQIA+ stories before. Especially if they are not just for comedy and snark. We saw it recently with Kristina, Blaze, and her mother. And truthfully, Lucas. His boyfriend is going all in on evil, so his days are numbered and Lucas can just be the best Judy to several women with bad taste in men too.

Very true. Lucas paired with Brad in offcameraland, if even that. I'm surprised at the crumbs he's even had.

"I heard rumors" Yeah. A former member is not the best place to get such rumours from. 😬 And Geary got married in 2019... that's not decades. 🤣
