Stars In Other Roles: Doppelgangers!

But somehow it's all Luke and Laura's fault Tony Geary never went on to have a bigger career and not the herpes movie.

I have a hunch that the made-for-TV herpes movie is probably way more entertaining and far better-written than GH is these days ...

[Chairperson Meow]

Now this board is going to force me to force my boyfriend to watch an 80s tv movie about Herpes a'la Mystery Science Theater style with my boyfriend.   It's not the worst thing I've made him watch.   I made him watch the entire last week of GH in a bet we lost.   He made it through with a little bit of crown, some pizza, and parody songs.   

[SlovakPrincess]

Staying Alive was on some weird channel last night.  And I almost watched it.  And then I reminded myself that it's a ridiculous movie, which I've already watched it twice, and that even the joy of admiring FH's hair and laughing whenever her character is mean to John Travolta for no reason would not justify watching it a third time.   

[fishcakes]

I watched the herpes movie when it aired in 1983. In my defense, there were fewer entertainment choices back then.

Speaking of which, Decades weekend binge this weekend is Celebrity Bowling, which is a surprisingly fascinating show especially when you happen to turn it on just as the team of Frank Gorshin and his wife Chris are getting their asses kicked by Greg Morris (father of Phil "Jackie Chiles" Morris) and John Beradino. Seeing Dr. Steve Hardy with his shirt unbuttoned to his navel and rolling strikes is kind of strange, even if it was 1971. Anyway, he and Greg bowled a 209 and so his team's assigned audience member won an Amana RadarRange.

If anyone has Netflix, Blue Caprice is now streaming on there.  That's the movie TRi was in that got him critical  acclaim.   It's a very good film, and he's quite good in it.

Amber Tamblyn is on Inside Amy Schumer. At least, I think it's her.

Dead now alive Jake was on "The Night Shift" on NBC last night.

Mo's film, The Ghost and The Whale is now on Amazon Prime.

Her husband is comedian David Cross, so it's definitely possible that she knows Amy through him.

Jonathan Jackson's Nashville has been picked up by CMT.

I found a TV movie from 2001 about anorexia called Dying to Dance. It stars Kimberly McCullough (Robin), Dominic Zamprogna (Dante), and, as KMc's father, Rick Springfield (Noah Drake).

Kim and Dom should have worked together more on GH.

Lexi can look really young when she wants to.  she looked the part of a 16/17-year old in this week's episode of Rizzoli & Isles, “Shadow of Doubt,” (Season 7 Episode 5).

Spotted Ian Buchanan on something called the "Seventh Sign" . . . changed the channel cause it didn't look my cup of tv but giggled a little because he was in the same scene as a frozen body in a block of ice. I felt there were a lot of Duke jokes to make somewhere in there.

[dubbel zout]

Sebastian Roché is on Bones right now.

[TessHarding2]

Right now, as I'm doing work, I surfed around for some background visuals (no sound) and found "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" the GET TV channel.  No, not the MGM musical.  A series from 1982.    I'll watch.  Never heard of the show which surprises me.  Also in the series- Allyn Ann McLerie (real life wife of Frank Smith - George Gaynes) and Michael Fairman (that soap guy)

Starring -  They all play brothers.

Richard Dean Anderson, 

Peter Horton 

Drake Hogestyn

Loved that show as a kid.  (I'll go crawl in a corner somewhere realizing I was 9 when that show aired)

[WendyCR72]

Rick Springfield has a "devilish" new role in Supernatural coming up!

[dubbel zout]

Watching a very young Lexi Ainsworth on Gilmore Girls right now!

What ep?

[dubbel zout]

"Let Me Hear Your Balalaikas Ringing Out," the one where Jess returns to show Rory his book. Lexi is a soccer player on a team Luke sponsors. She's in another episode, too, "Just Like Gwen and Gavin" (the one where Luke learns he has a daughter).

The GG eps are her second and third jobs.

Nathan Parsons in new PixL movie premiering August 6th.

And hey, that blonde girl next to him in the picture is Brooke Newton, who was Colby Chandler on the PP AMC!

Bored stiff and watching episodes of lame-ass Star Trek: Enterprise on Netflix and it took me 10 episodes to realize that wooden, oppressively perky ship's navigator Mayweather is also wooden, oppressively perky Dr. Andre on GH. Feeling pretty frightened, bewildered and vulnerable rn

I knew he looked familiar! Thanks because that was driving me crazy.

Julian Assange was on Real Time With Bill Maher the other night, and in the screencaps on YouTube, I keep thinking I'm looking at Tony Geary. It's really creepy, which Tony would probably be honored by.

"Diane" is in a new Fruit-of-the-Loom commercial.

Ian Buchanan won an Emmy when he was on B&B in 1997, and one of his competitors was Mo. So HAHA DUKE BEAT SONNY.

(He also beat Alan & Tony, sniff. But Stuart won in 1999, so it's okay.)

Rewatching Party of Five. Carolyn Hennesy (Diane) showed up in Season 3. She played a real estate agent.

Of course Megan Ward (OG Kate) had a pretty big role in Season 1 as Bailey's drug-addicted girlfriend, Jill.

[Lillybee]

Don't judge me but I watched Devious Maids last night. It is a pretty soapy soap. Brianna Brown is one of the featured people, she even has her name in the credits and she looked gorg.

[cmahorror]

As a horror movie geek, I had to tell you guys about this one - Wishmaster 4: The Prophecy Fulfilled starring Jason Thompson (ex-Patrick). It's stupid as hell but he actually does a pretty good job playing a self-pitying jerk.

[Tiger]

The guy who plays/played(?) Felix is a new commercial playing a real estate agent and he and the husband are telling the wife this 'perfect for kids house' is haunted.

Like most commercials these days, I have no fracking clue what theyre actually advertising.

OMG! I've been watching on H&I and had no clue!

[twoods]

Caught Casa Vita, which was a pretty good movie. I wondered why the lead looked familiar, and then I realized it was Lindsay Morgan who was Kristina. She used to suck on GH, and now she's pretty decent. Or maybe GH writers make the actors suck. I was pleasantly surprised by her.

She's great on The 100 which she started on shortly after GH.

Did we know Greg Vaughn was in Queen Sugar? I started watching the pilot today and thought it was him but wasn't entirely sure because he looks a bit different. Then I saw his name in the credits. He looks really good. And there's an ass shot.

Yes it was announced months ago

So GV is on a prime time show that's getting good reviews and he met Oprah. Meanwhile, on General Hospital...

I know right! 

These actors need jump ship and try something else. There's still hope for some of them!

[Sake614]

Just caught the last minute of a 1994 episode of Frasier and immediately noticed Constance Towers. She looked great.

[cmahorror]

The Bay is now available on Amazon Prime to stream for free. The cast is great and includes Mary Beth Evans (ex-Katherine), Matthew Ashford (ex-Tom), Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio), Jackie Zeman (Bobbie) and Lilly Melgar (ex-Lily).

Just watched the first episode so far but it certainly seems like soapy fun and has many former and current soap stars on it.

[jsbt]

No lie, my buffering froze on this fuckin' GH castmember's face.

Is it supposed to look like it was made in 1970?

[jsbt]

Yes.

[twoods]

Rewatching a Hallmark movie that I enjoy, Portrait of Love, and didn't realize Bree was the lead. She's so likable when she's not playing an annoying character, or when she has chemistry with her lead.

[dubbel zout]

Caught IR on Hawaii Five-O for the first time, and it was jarring to hear him use an American accent. (It's not entirely stable.) He also doesn't get guest billing at the beginning.

[Tiger]

Is John DeLuca still on TFGH?

He was on last weeks How to Get Away with Murder playing a gay guido.
