Oh, he's free to not get the vaccine. He just has to do it on the unemployment line now. Choices have consequences.

It was never said that getting the vaccine guarantees you won’t get COVID, but it does significantly reduce your chances and if you do get infected, it reduces your risks of dying and of needing to be

This one hits hard. 70? My mom was also 70 and she died two weeks ago. Fuck cancer, indeed. RIP, Jackie, and if you meet my mom she'll have plenty to say about how she always rooted for Bobb

This show is the weirdest with casting sometimes.  Remember when they made a big deal about casting Shirley Jones for, like, two episodes as a woman who saw Franco in a graveyard?

Based on the picture of her with Ava/MW, I had to wonder if she's, somehow, Ryan and Kevin's abusive mother.

Not that it matters much on this show, but Ryan killed their mom, and it would be a bit much to have Ryan and their mom both be secretly alive after being presumed dead.

Aren't she and John relatively close in age? I never saw Aliens, but Cartwright was always the bitchy prosecutor who always seem to have an axe to grind in cases against Mike in L.A. Law.

Have you forgotten what show you're watching? 😉

I have no doubt that whatever role Cartwright is playing, the "special, five-episode arc" will be a total letdown.

Maybe Ilene Kristen did something to make Frank mad and this is a Delia recast?

ETA...oh, and btw, I did recall that Kevin and Ryan's mom - does she even have a name? - is dead, but a lot of people on this show have been dead and then "dead", you know?  I just feel like the show wants to keep Ryan somehow, and reminding us of his abusive mother would be a predictable way to do it.

Cartwright was born in 1949 and Lindstrom in 1957 so yeah, she could totally play his mother.

Interestingly, they were both on the show Bosch although in different seasons.

I don't think Drew has been wasted with Kim and Oscar, but there is a whole lot more to him than them, and that's the waste.

But really, ever since it was announced that SBu was back, Drew's days were numbered. I'm impressed Miller stuck around as long as he did. 

Me too.  Now the spec will be he returns to Y and R, and that would be good news, but I guess it is unlikely.

This is a summary of the casting side titiled "Evan" which was the same exact side for what was put out for "Drew" in 2017 (Miller was rumored to be leaving back then as well)  according to someone who gets the sides.  It's a contract role:

Edit: I am glad Billy is gone.  This show is a lost cause for Drew and he didn't even want to be there....so whatever.  Move on with your career because GH ain't it.

Evan is arguing with his brother about sleeping with his wife on the side. Very vague but it sounds like they hate each other.

I like how the show is looking to recast. I bet Drew has an actual storyline now and will be allowed to be around other people that are not Kim.

I really hate FV.

I think a lot of the non-story is due to Billy though.

The only way I see Miller returning to YR is if the show completely retcons the characters history since JT took over. I just can’t see BM playing a character who slept with Summer, never mind had an affair and eventually a relationship with Phyllis. 

I couldn't see JJLucky as having done the stupid crap GV did but I think the writers mostly pulled it off.

Miller was doomed the instant Steve Burton got fired off Y&R. Sooner, really, because Steve was always going to come back. This is just a long goodbye.

Y&R has been desperate to get BM back since the day he left, including casting a wooden dude who looked old as hell for over a year as a transparent placeholder before they settled on JT. Miller will go back there.

Why either Drew or Nina would be recast would be beyond me if not for Frank's punitive behavior in the CBS casting wars of recent years, or the reaction any time someone dares to leave - where he keeps recasting despite no good reason for a character to continue or no investment (Jordan, T.J., etc). Cynthia Watros is great and I will watch her scenes to see how she does, but there's no question a pairing with Jax would have more success if she was not handicapped by a) the character of Nina and b) the writing.* If anyone can remake a dud character like Nina from top to bottom it is Watros - it's been done many times before with other characters, by other actors - but the writing would need to be of a much higher caliber, and it's not and it's not going to be. That being said: I'll believe a Drew recast when I see him onscreen and not before.

(* - speaking of, I actually like both Chris Van Etten and Daniel O'Connor, who is rumored to be ascendant. They're witty and fun and seem to enjoy their jobs. The problem is they are both from the Ron Carlivati school IIRC, where it's too often all wit and out of balance, and I don't think either is skilled enough for the big chair alone, especially with Frank running the real show and exerting his will more than ever before.)

I get recasting Nina, even though the character is terrible. They built up a ton of story around her. Drew, not so much. Maybe there'll just be a temp recast.

I do think that side is for Drew, but they coulda just put it out there as some negotiation tactic, as if Miller would care.

I guess we should add Valerie to the unnecessary recast list. Frank didn’t use old Valerie but she bolts to Y&R and he felt the need to recast. Now, whenever short haired Valerie shows up I’m actually confused as to who she is.

The big question is where JT will go after he gets bounced from Y&R.  There's no place for him at GH any more, not to mention he burned his bridges here. ( Although I could see FV taking him back, if only to make him crawl.)

How did he burn his bridges? I don't recall him skewering TPTB. (Although I wouldn't blame him if he did.)

He didn't burn his bridges, unless FV counts him leaving at all for Y&R. But I don't think he cared that much.

FV cares about his friends from past soaps, friends of his pet actors (hi, LW's boyfriend!), and maaaaaaaaybe GH actors as long as they buddy up. He may be keeping the show under budget, but it has lost all heart and watchability, IMO.
