Badsamaritan February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 Whether intentional or not, he basically corroborated other actors' stories about getting jerked around regarding their character. It's very similar to what they've done to BM - changing logic on a dime and being ruled by rewrites and plot points. I've never seen so much talent gathered together and then ruined. Like, to the bone. Nothing and no one makes sense, all the wrong beats are chosen, and I'd swear Uncle Frank has a bet with somebody that he can make it all deadly dull on top of it. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4122-gh-in-the-news-the-pc-press-club/page/208/#findComment-1985533

rur February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 I can appreciate his frustration as an actor. But he spent a lot of time acting out (not acting) because of his particular issues with the part; and we were forced to watch it, and then discuss, and complain about it here because many of us were wondering why he still even had a job because he was behaving so unprofessionally. So, although I enjoyed getting some BTS info, in the end he re-upped: I can't feel too sorry for him. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4122-gh-in-the-news-the-pc-press-club/page/208/#findComment-1987157

Ambrosefolly February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 I just feel sorry us, the audience. I asked it before and I will ask it again, whose bright idea was it to make Franco of all people return? He wasn't a good character when James Franco was doing his vanity project and the only novelty to his character was he was played by a movie/primetime star, unlike Helena Cassadine, who at least was always played as an out and out villainess. Because the thing is Roger Hogworth could have been a tremendous asset to GH in anything but a reformed serial killer, with Steven Lars being the example often mentioned, or a long lost grandnephew of Edward or some other Cassadine, like the character that was scarped for Franco, Valentin. I think it was hubris on part of RC and FV, thinking they could recast a role that originally had a world famous actor in it much like Wendy Riche and Guza did, forgetting that the show did try to put Helena in any other slot. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4122-gh-in-the-news-the-pc-press-club/page/208/#findComment-1988073
dubbel zout February 23, 2016 Share February 23, 2016 I think it was hubris on part of RC and FV, thinking they could recast a role that originally had a world famous actor in it I agree it was hubris, but I think it was about expecting the audience to accept any character RoHo played, and they foolishly decided that would be Franco. For some reason, beefing up the Qs is taboo regardless of what actor comes on, and at the time of needing slot RoHo into a not-OLTL character, a new Cassadine would require too much work. Franco was a known quantity who they just needed to whitewash, not build from scratch. I think it boils down to them being lazy, as is usually the case. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4122-gh-in-the-news-the-pc-press-club/page/208/#findComment-1988151
