That's what I think, I think Genie also scrammed because of the unvaxxed on set.   Now she's back too.  It's not a coincidence.

Ironically, that was basically the exact description of her character Julia Wainwright's love interest on Santa Barbara, Mason Capwell, who ticks all the boxes above. He was originally played by Lane Davies, who played Cameron Lewis (Zander's dad) around 2002...

Both of those characters were also lawyers.

Expand  

I loved that couple so much as a child! Julia wanting a child but not wanting to be married (before artificial insemination was available I guess?) and then of course them falling for each other. I like Alexis fine, and she’s certainly played her a long time, but I’ll always think of her as Julia. Louise Sorel helped a lot too! 

I know this is almost old news but I saw the Duell Divorce news posted on a non soap site and the comments were amazingly confused. He apparently beat Kim K’s famously short first marriage.

Maybe when Christine Baranski is done with it on The Good Fight (except for the attorney part).

I really liked Alexis with Neil and I have no idea why they did the sudden 180 and killed him with an inexplicable drug overdose. And then wasted the illegal drug part by not tying it to Cyrus. Or even explaining it.

Expand  

Actually, I think Christine Baranski will be in the upcoming "The Gilded Age". (Trivia: CB was married to the late Matthew Cowles, best known as dirtbag pimp/villain Billy Clyde Tuggle on All My Children.)

Billy Clyde Tuggle TERRIFIED me. Matthew Cowles did an amazing job with that role.

Same! To the point where every time I saw him IRL, I was petrified lol! When I found out Baranski was married to him, My mind was blown. I mean, he was a pimp! And a really mean guy! I’m sure he was probably a real sweetheart IRL but I couldn’t separate the two in my head!

The Mason/Julia relationship was SO interesting -- edgy, intellectual, passionate -- and both Lane Davis and Gordon Thompson were great in the Mason role.

I don't think Christine Baranski needs a soap, though she's a goddess and enriches any project she's in.

Expand  

Me too! Years after he was on the show, and I was semi-grown up, my friend got a gig catering a party they were giving. She asked if I wanted to staff it for some quick bucks, but I just flat-out refused, LOL. By all accounts he was a very lovely man in real life, but...no way!

Agree with all of this, including BOTH Lane Davies and Gordon Thomson being great in the role. (Most only seem to like Lane.) Terry Lester (Mason #2) tried, but...*shrug*

And he looked more like Eden, Kelly, and Ted's full, rather than half-brother, i.e. Sophia's son instead of Pamela's.

He left to do another role. 

Expand  

If they were invested in the character, they could have recast. But I guess they wanted Alexis in a downward spiral.

I agree that they just wanted Alexis in a downward spiral because there was no need to write in his death otherwise.  Neil could have just relocated to whatever wing of GH, Lucas is working in. He and Alexis could have mutually agreed to take a break. Then if the actor ever wanted to come back, they could rekindle the relationship.

I remember an article about him coming out after they killed off Neil where he said that it surprised him that it had happened. So I don't think he left because he wanted to.

Neil didn't bother me and his death didn't either. What bothered me is that they didn't even try to tie his death to the broader story arc about the new drugs moving into PC because of Cyrus. It just felt like this part of the story was left twisting in the wind so to speak. His daughter died of an overdose too, IIRC.

I'm seeing this GH "Happy Holidays!" promo getting some flack on Twitter for including Michael Easton twice, but no African-American or Asian cast members.

ETA...some other notes...

1) Cameron Mathison, please grow back some kind of facial scruff.

2) They better not be fixin' to stick poor Lucy with Kentucky Fried Tad Martin.  Sure, Scotty and Kevin are both super taken, but still!

ETA2...oh!  But if they did pair Lucy with Tad Martin, there could be some fun there given he's Laura's brother and Laura is married to Lucy's ex-husband.

I love that promo! lol I guess it is kind of a white Christmas at gh though.

Give me Ms. Wu in that promo!!!!! 

 

Gosh, CM is awesome! He just emits such as positive vibe that comes through the camera. I loved him on that "Home and Family" on Hallmark channel. I'd love to see him sometime play a villain. I think he has the versatility. 

Loving Tad Martin in Santa suit with Lucy. He looks even better to me without that big bouffant hair, although it is great man hair. Just needs to be tamed a bit.

They usually just film these promos with whoever happened to be taping that day but I’m not shocked that they missed how it looks.

One thing I noticed was that it almost looked as if Mo had to look down at his notes or his hand to see what his line was. Surely not, because he could surely just adlib something generally appropriate! But he did appear to need a prompt.  I understand that appearances can be deceiving.

Just to jump back to the allegation/flight of fancy that somehow Jane Elliot isn't on GH because of Nancy Lee Grahn...

I've had enough of her, personally. And in my mind, dealing with Nancy's big mouth, is part of the reason Jane is staying away.  

She be smart like that.

JE had been a guest at NLG's home and recently- like within the last couple years. It was on social media a bit. So I highly doubt JE is staying away bc of NLG.

There are a million reasons why she might not want to come back to GH. Covid. She's older and doesn't want to work. Awful storylines. Boredom- she has been doing the same character at GH for how many years?

Expand  

 

Jane probably comes back often enough to keep whatever SAG-AFTRA benefits she gets. And Nancy's probably a draw, not a detraction.

Yeah, Jane Elliot and Nancy Lee Grahn are quite close. They're so close that Jane she came over to help Nancy pack up her kitchen when she was remodeling. That's a real friendship, not a colleague-ship.
 

Nancy even calls Jane her "bestie."

I would not be horribly opposed to Lucy in a fling with MEK/Colonel Sanders Jr. but it's still not what should be happening, which is Kevin and Lucy, period.

I had many issues with the Ryan Lavery Show at AMC, but never with Cameron who has always seemed like a team player and a sweetheart. (And who played gay at the very start of his career, while he was already on AMC, in 1998's 54 though the scenes were cut out for many years - that took balls.)

Looks like they have SORASED Charlotte to a teenager. Scarlett Fernandez announced she is no longer in the role. Bummer.

That's a bummer, she was one of the less tedious child actors. It seems like an odd time to age her, since they're pretty much set with their teen scene for now.

Danny and Rocco have been aged too, so they might already be looking at introducing the teen set since they have filled their young adult bracket.

Well, it's been two years, so isn't the character around 12 now? or are they aging her up to 15ish?

Unless they bring Emma back, there is no one in a SORASed Charlotte to interact with. Right now she's the right age for Danny and Jake to have a rivalry over, an older Charlotte will be too old for them and it would weird having her in the Cameron/Joss/Spencer/Trina/Esme group which is already big enough.  

Expand  

Charlotte is related to Danny. 

  On 12/21/2021 at 6:53 PM, YaddaYadda said:

Expand  

Through Sam? Valentin is Danny's half great uncle and Charlotte has half of His genes. People who live in small towns share more DNA.

Charlotte and Aiden are first cousins so that is more problematic (although Charles Darwin married his first cousin and he should know).

  On 12/21/2021 at 7:14 PM, Mirabelle said:

I've been wracking my brain - how is Charlotte related to Danny?

Expand  

They both have Cassadine ancestry - Charlotte is Victor's granddaughter and Danny is Mikkos' great-grandson, Mikkos and Victor were brothers, making Danny and Charlotte cousins to some degree that I'm too lazy to figure out right now.

Second cousins twice removed? 

Expand  

Oof, you're going to make think, aren't you?

Mikkos and Victor are brothers. Alexis (Mikkos' daughter) and Valentin (Victor's son) are first cousins. Sam (Alexis' daughter) and Charlotte (Valentin's daughter) are second cousins. Conclusion: Charlotte and and Danny (Sam's son) are second cousins once removed.

ETA: Fuck, does this read as snotty? I hope not. I wasn't trying to be "let me correct you!" I was literally figuring out the exact relationship as I typed it out. Now I'm paranoid that I'm coming across as rude.

Shouldn’t Jake be about 14-15 now? 

Expand  

Yes, and the actor has to be about that age as well. I don't know how much work Hudson West is booking these days but he is still one of the most talented young people on a show that has seriously improved its youth set in the last year or two, and they should not be caught sleeping on him. Yet they probably will be.
