Please, please no. http://www.serialscoop.com/2015/11/greg-vaughan-interview-part-128.html?m=1 I cannot deal with Plywood, Private Mayo and Larry on my soap all at once. It would be so lifeless, boring, and lackluster that it wouldn't even register on the Nielsen ratings. All episodes they were on would come up as "pre-empted in all areas." 1 Link to comment
TeeVee329 November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 I'm torn. The show needs to invest in Lucky as a character. And I don't mind Greg Vaughn. But the show didn't invest in him before and likely wouldn't again. 6 Link to comment

But the show didn't invest in him before and likely wouldn't again. I don't feel like reading that article again, which I did from my phone, and I must have missed the part where Vaughn indicated he'd like to come back? Or where whoever wrote the article is speculating that he would? Just like with Kanan, whyever would Vaughn want to return to a show that fucked him over? Fired him because Guzasshole managed to finally convince Jonathan to return to the role of Lucky? Vaughn does nothing for me, but that doesn't mean I didn't feel bad for him when he was fired.

dubbel zout November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 There was no indication Vaughn would come back to GH. It was the usual spec when an actor gets cut from another soap. 2 Link to comment
TeeVee329 November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 Oh, it's all speculation. I think this is the first time one of the Luckys hasn't had a regular gig since Frank and Ron took over, yes? As for why he'd come back, hey, a job's a job. 4 Link to comment

Guza was a shit. I don't ever dispute that. But the practice of an original actor reclaiming a role is just, right or wrong, part of the business. Tyler Christopher benefited from that same practice, as did both Peter Reckell and Wayne Northrop on Days. It may not be fair, but it's part of the game. 7 Link to comment

Oracle42 November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 GH does need Lucky. His absence is glaring and problematic but I don't think GV ever managed a convincing Lucky - and that's aside from the writing. His Eric Brady was just as likeable, boring and dim as Larry 2 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 Hey, SK will return to this show because I've made it my mission. I'd like Mark Lawson for Lucky. 1 Link to comment
Ambrosefolly November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 I like Greg Vaughn, I do and did root for his Lucky, but sorry to say, he just wasn't Lucky. I could accept him in other roles, but yeah, he came across as too everyman. I think some like Josh Kelly or Mark Lawson might be a better fit for the role. 1 Link to comment

Badsamaritan November 30, 2015 Share November 30, 2015 I've only seen Mark Lawson in pics, how tall is he? Cuz my vote will always be Jeff Branson. He's a good actor, sexy, tall, and can generate chemistry with his costars. 3 Link to comment

I'm not a professional writer or anything, but when like, a week after what was supposed to be a life-changing event (Jason is alive!) you have Sam trying to screw Patrick and Jason all, "I want my family with Liz! Whatevs to Sam!" after viewers waited OVER A YEAR.....yeah....no. No emotions whatsoever. And on top of that, people still don't care about Robin, and Nik, Jason, Liz, and Patrick are all WUT? to me. 7 Link to comment

I'm offended you did not include Dante acting about his marriage the way Daria treats her school volleyball game in the opening credits of the show. :p I only focused on the Jason reveal bc that's what the show considers it's A story. BM, KeMo, LW, BH, JT, have dominated the screen. That is what Frank and Co. were banking on and still are. Morgan was just on so Bryan can get his Emmy reel ready before the final Dec. 20-something submission date!But, of course, the Dante/Lulu/Valerie story is also a huge fail because there's no LOVE. Cheating stories are usually devastating because X and Y still deeply love each other. These stories don't work when there are apathetic parties. I don't even know if I should blame DZ for looking asleep because they're giving him nothing. Edited December 1, 2015 by HeatLifer 4 Link to comment
OnceSane December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Who will replace him? I'm guessing someone equally terrible and without the budget control. 2 Link to comment
jsbt December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 (edited) I would be shocked if they replaced him and kept the show running. There are few EPs who are able to cut costs more - who are they gonna find who isn't new, when new is something the network has no interest in? They want people who know the job and will stay out of their hair. I think it's Dollar General Valentini or the axe for the whole thing. The Varni mention makes me doubt the whole thing because it smacks of someone picking up on Internet chatter, where Varni (who, granted, clearly loves to put himself out there) is elevated to a much larger power position in order to deflect blame off Ron Carlivati and onto everyone and anyone else.

Oracle42 December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Under budget is great but the show looks like shit - the production values are practically non-existent. DOOL looks better. The show used to look dark and dreary sometimes but I don't remember it looking like a high school production. There's a lack of...pride in it 6 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 Hopefully, they can find someone who won't cast cardboard cutouts for characters, throw away legacy characters, or misuse good actors while not good ones are in the forefront. Just give it to Shonda Rhimes. Doesn't she own ABC anyway? Lol I know she wouldn't hesitate to kill Sonny, Carly, Jason, Spencer. I watch Greys and HTGAWM. 4 Link to comment
