Maybe she’s realizing how ugly that wedding was or he cheated.  You get with a known cheater that happens.  Now, was it with a co-star this time?

Wonder if Chad hooked up with Katelyn...

If we are to believe Joey Tribbiani (and why wouldn't we?), once a set of actors who are in a relationship on stage/screen start dating in real life, the chemistry on set goes down the drain. Of course, there was never any chemistry there, so maybe they've been hooking up this entire time.

Ingo is suing ABC:

Rademacher is represented by John W. Howard, an attorney who has filed several lawsuits challenging vaccine mandates, and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

“I am entitled to a religious exemption against mandatory vaccination for COVID-19 on the basis of my deeply and sincerely held moral belief that my body is endowed by my creator with natural processes to protect me and that its natural integrity cannot ethically be violated by the administration of artificially created copies of genetic material, foreign to nature and experimental,” Rademacher wrote in an Oct. 11 email to Disney’s HR department.

 

RFK, Jr.  Say no more (insert eyeroll).

I'd say it's career suicide and no one will hire him now, but no one was hiring him before. The highlights of his acting career when he wasn't playing Jax were a few episodes of the Hawaii Five-0 reboot, an Aaron Spelling nighttime soap in 2000 that lasted eleven episodes, and a cameo as a personal trainer in the pilot of Veronica's Closet.

[Gam2]

I’m not the least bit surprised that this is his next move. What else is he going to do? It’s not like he has this stellar acting career.

Sadly, no. It would be classy of the couple to return the gifts, but a gift is a gift. And it would be the height of tackiness for me to ask for it back.

I guess that's why you get a year to send a gift, and I'd take that entire year were I invited to any subsequent weddings of Duell's.

I just cannot stand Ingo now, not just for the antivax stuff, but for how nasty he comes off about everything, in general.

It's funny, because of the course of their runs on the show, I mostly preferred Jax over Jason (and could never understand why women were torn between Jax and Sonny-who-ruins-everything), but I never want to see the character of Jax again.

I don't feel the same way about Jason, even though I haven't liked the Jason character since Steve came back and replaced Billy Miller.

I guess I'm more disgusted by Ingo, because even though they left for the same reasons, Steve Burton tried to stay classy in his departure. (I reserve the right to change my mind if he sues).

I don't understand how you date for five years and separate after six weeks. It's the same damned person.

[dubbel zout]

I sort of see it——if someone suddenly decides things have to be done a certain way now that they're married and the other person is against it. You'd think after five years they'd have talked about everything, but that's not always the case. Some people really don't think about or discuss what being married is about for them.

Same thing happened with Helen Hunt and Hank Azaria-were together for YEARS, and broke up shortly after getting married.

I don’t know how often this happens in real life, but it’s definitely happened before in Hollywood. Hank Azaria and Helen Hunt were together for about 5 years, got married, and were over about a year later. It was even worse with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. They were together about 10 years and divorced after two years of marriage.

[KittenPokerCheater]

I doubt we will ever know what happened or why, but I would be curious to know, because a 6 week marriage after 5 years....?

.My first instinct is to look in Chad's pointedly in  direction, because his track record is spotty.

Didn't she come back last year after Ned cheated to urge him to win Olivia back, because she felt Olivia was the future Monica?

She came back for a holiday visit, and that unfortunately was her storyline. Yeah, I don't think she'll ever come back now, unfortunately.

I mean, I'm glad, sort of. Was not looking forward to having to possibly put up with seeing and hearing NLG by association.

So it's a blessing in disguise, I guess, though I do miss getting to see JE/Tracy.

 

 

 

 

[Cheyanne11]

A lot of his co-workers were at the wedding.  Wonder what you say to him when you bump into him in the halls.  I hope someone goes with "I guess that's what happens when you go to your wedding cosplaying Beelzabub."

[statsgirl]

There are some people who are happy living together but find the actuality of marriage too confining. A co-worker told me that she could never marry her partner because it would tie her down and I thought 'You've been together 15 years, you have 2 kids, a dog and a mortgage. How much more tied down could marriage make you?'  But she was adamant. 🤷‍♀️

[ByaNose]

Um, Chad has a horrible track at such a young at marriage. Ironically, his character just returned to PC after he’d been off the air for a few weeks which I believe was his honeymoon. They dated 5 years and have this huge (creepy) wedding and invite the (basically) whole cast from both shows and now are divorcing after 6 weeks. I’d say once was a shame but twice for him is suspect. That said, if it was him or her how do you see “that” in 5 years of dating? It’s F’d up if you ask me.

I don't see Disney paying him because it is a huge company and there are others they've fired over the mandate.  It'd open up them having to pay all those people--many of whom have bigger contracts than IR. 

From what I understand, the bar for a religious exemption on this matter is pretty high.  It has to be part of the religion--not a new rule just created because they didn't want to get the COVID vaccine. There are very few religions out there with an opposition to vaccinations as part of their doctrine. He might have quite a hill to climb with this one.

That's why, I think, so many of the fired actors on various Disney shows (not just GH) have tried to claim a religious exemption but still got the boot.

Not only do some couples find actual marriage constraining, but sometimes what happens is people are together a long time and get to a point where they feel they should get married or break up.  Either because they both feel it's time or one puts the pressure on the other to make a decision.  They get married and then realize they probably should have made the other choice.

Maybe they were on the brink of breaking up and thought a wedding would fix things, but a 6 week marriage? I'm pretty sure someone cheated. I wonder if Chad will get it annulled again.

Liam.

And yeah, it's stuff like this that makes me want to just stick with living with someone forever (says my very, VERY single ass lmao). Not every couple has to get married for their relationship to "mean" something, and at the end of the day, you're entering into a contract with the government when you get married--why bother with that when you can just break up and move on?

I'll admit, I've thought Chad was hot in the past (shut up lol), and while there PLENTY of other reasons that has cooled considerably, this definitely is a GIANT red flag to anyone he winds up with in the future. Two super short-lived marriages in less than a decade, the second even shorter than the first. Run away as soon and as fast as you can, ladies.

Sometimes I wonder if these relationships were already winding down and the marriage was the last-ditch effort to save it.

Basically, he just thinks he's entitled to an exception.

Very true. Even if this passed the threshold requirement for showing a sincerely held religious belief, it's an undue burden on GH to allow someone who can't even be masked, who has to kiss his co-stars, to continue not being vaccinated.  I'm surprised the other soaps haven't set their own mandates yet. 

[Melgaypet]

Whenever a long-term relationship breaks up soon after marriage, I figure that it was already in trouble and they foolishly believed getting married would solve whatever problems they had.

That's my reasonable, mature response. My very first response to this six-week marriage was to laugh really hard and and then decide that someone definitely cheated and it's Chad b/c I don't like him, so there.

And Ingo needs to shut the fuck up before he taints my fond memories of Jax altogether. Dean Cain turning out to be trash was bad enough. (I had such a crush!)

That’s a big point some are ignoring. My job has a vaccine mandate and they only approved exemptions for those who could work 100% remotely because otherwise, their rights would be infringing on others. That’s not really a possibility as an actor. What are they going to do? Have IR film all of his scenes solo in a remote location or talk to others through FaceTime?

Maybe she noticed that giant crane Chad had parked in front of the house and said, “umm… maybe I need to get outta here.”

As for Ingo, they should just put him back on recurring and then never, ever find a place for Jax in any storyline. But still reassure him that any day now, the call is coming. 

[Gam2]

This reminds me of that chick who was married to Tarik and then the car guy and is now engaged to another guy. I cannot remember her name to save my life. She’s about as reliable and dependable as these two people. How embarrassing this must be for them and their families! Oh! Christina is her name. I do feel sorry for her children. Thank goodness that Courtney and Chad don’t have any kids!
