I am sick of the same old plots GH needs to get real
I Really like GV ; But if Lucky has to be played by someone else I'm thrilled it's JJ
Glad that JJ is back and hope they do him justice.. This is the only way I could possibly accept LL2 again, although Liason is still the best for me. Unfortunately, TPTB think everyone wants to see Jasam together, action junkies, although I don't know why. They are just acting like complete idiots, school kids. When they are on it is like comedy central, which is not a good thing.
I hope that JJ can come back and take over Steves place on GH, because right now everything revolves around him, even if he is stuck babysitting all of the teens.
oh man you should go on to youtube and watch some of his stuff - JJ was incredible. I feel bad for GV too but growing up w/ JJ I know that he's the right man for the job:)
I'm glad GV is leaving. There was something about him I didn't like. I love JJ. He played a better Lucky. I hope he is playing a better role of "Lucky".
I could not have said it better myself:)!!
I am estatic that J.J. is back. I just wish he came back sooner. I'm sure he will fit right bacl into the Spencer's clan. Hope Anthony will be back when J.J. airs. I bet Anthony is real proud!!!!
I feel bad for GV but am happy for JJ's fans. I have only seen GV in the role and have no preconceived notion of what JJ is going to be like but if he picks up where GV left off I'm not sure if I will like him.
However if they bring him back in some Lucky switched thing 10 yrs ago that might work. I was not looking forward to a triangle between Elizabeth and the brothers. A triangle between changed Lucky/Elizabeth/Jason would get my attention and I would tune back in for that action.
So I will DVR on Oct. 27th and watch him in his debut and wait and see how it works out.
man i never been this excited in a long time. i had the biggest crush on jonathan back in the day and i still have one. he was the reason why i started watching the show in the first place and when he left the show it hadn't been the same. no offense to greg or jacob they did an amazing job and i wish them all the best but for me they were never lucky, jonathan is and always will be luke and laura son and no other actor will compare to what jonathan brought to this character and the chemistry jonathan and rebecca had was undeniable and no other actor could live up to what they brought. so as sad as i am that greg is leaving i am so thrilled to have jonathan back i will totaly tune in and watch. GH thank you for bringing jonathan back and what would make me even more happier is if you also brought genie francies along for the ride.
WOW! Hopefully more info will be in SOD mag! When will he first air? I never liked the rcasts of Young or Vaughn.You can recast some people,but there are good recasts and bad recasts. GH screwed up twice and there is only ONE Lucky! BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
