CONFIRMED: Billy Miller is Joining The Cast Of General Hospital As Jason Morgan!

After month of speculations and the reports of the on again and off again talks between General Hospital and three-time Daytime Emmy winner Billy Miller, today official word came from none other than GH executive producer, Frank Valentini himself.
And the word is fantastic news for the ABC soap! Valentini tweeted to his head writer Ron Carlivati a short time ago: “Billy Miller is joining the cast of General Hospital in the role of Jason Morgan. Welcome to Port Charles Billy #GH”
In a follow up statement Valentini said, “I am really excited to be working with such a talented and acclaimed actor as Billy. Our cast is thrilled that he will be joining our ‘General Hospital’ family, and I know that he will be an amazing addition to our talented cast.”
Miller will take over the role of Jason Morgan from Steve Burton who departed the ABC series in 2012 and eventually landed on The Young and the Restless, which ironically is Miller’s former soap home where he was beloved in the role of Billy Abbott.
On-Air On-Soaps will continue to have more details including Miller’s first airdate in this developing story, but for now, Jason is returning and it’s GH that nabbed the talented Miller to their A-list cast roster!
So, what do you think of the news? Are you glad to finally know GH has its Jason and it’s Billy Miller? Knowing now that Miller is taking on the role, do you think the Jason that comes to life after Robin revived him, will be a hitman, killer … or will he be Jason Quartermaine-esque, or none of the above?
While I am not surprised at this casting, I must say I’m not that excited. Billy Miller is an alright actor, though, has never been my number one favourite. It’s clear they won’t be writing for “JaSam” any longer; he’ll likely be paired with Becky Herbst (Liz) or someone else on the series.
Best wishes to him and this really cluttered cast; I’d rather see Ron fired as headscribe and someone like Lorraine Broderick come in and really fix the mass issues with the stories.
They keep taking on stars from other shows….. refusing to open their eyes and see that its the writing that is holding the show back. From the end of today’s show I guess we’re descending back into comic book land and the outlandish return from the dead of Stavros – what is it the fourth time he has been revived? Honestly. Just so pathetically bad. I think this time I am just going to give it up and stop looking back.
Re: the writing–nothing is going to happen on that front so long as the ratings remain good (comparatively speaking, that is; no soap really has “good” ratings any more).
And my prediction? Even once Ron C. is replaced—because I suppose that could happen if the ratings should take a dive, as they eventually must, I would guess—we’re going to find it doesn’t make much difference, because I’m betting the real problems are with ABC and not with Frank V. or Ron C., so the next HW will be just as ineffective in fixing the problems. I say that because a lot of the current problems are the same ones the show had been having under the last regime; the problems may be cosmetically different, but underneath they have to do with balance, with mob overkill, with unfathomable story directions, with baffling choices as to which actors/characters to feature while others are allowed to languish—the same problems as before, just manifesting themselves a little differently. But the same problems, nonetheless. And that makes me suspicious that the problem is above the level of FV and RC.
They showed a mystery person at the end of the show, but they didn’t reveal who it was.
Agreed … The originals are what created the lifelong fans of the show! Billy Miller is good looking ok actor but Steve Burton leaves big shoes to fill and it won’t be close to the same. Stavros Helena etc being back is all crap… The role of Nina is just irritating to watch! Didn’t think I’d like “Todd” as Franco but he is fantastic!
Ohhhh, noooooo ! Bite your tongue, Scott.lol…Billy Miller an alright actor? He lights up every scene. I LOVE YOU, BILLY.
Amen CeeCee,these People are #CRAYCRAY
Michael…not Fairman…,
You have summarily spoken the truth. Well written and thought-out.
@Timmm. Fans don’t like Franco? That’s a big generalization. I may be new to GH, but I love the NuFranco. I guess it’s hard for the diehard fans to separate NuFranco from oldFranco, but Roger Howarth is a rare gem. It is a shame that his talent is being wasted thusly. I am hoping and praying that WHEN he and Nina come together as a couple, they will blow everyone else off the stage…more aptly, the proverbial water. As a couple, Nina/Michelle and Franco/Roger will be a powerhouse. Cupid!s arrow awaits…lol
Once again, another ass-kisser who refuses to allow someone else to have a sincere enough opinion on a person’s acting. He’s not my cup of tea.
I agree Billy Miller can do no wrong in my book. He’s an amazing actor. Interested in seeing him.as Jason. But I really wish Prime Time would snatch him up. He’s that good.
Miller is far more than “alright!” He has an emmy to prove it. He is great improvement as the overrated and emotionless Steve Burton!
he actually has 3 Emmys….but I agree the show is a mess
Just because he has an Emmy does not mean anything; I don’t find him compelling in his acting.
I could write better than those on gh are doing now….I’m not a writer but I at least have imagination. GH…p,ease we need better from you!
Not Lorraine Broderick, please. The only show she’s written successfully, in my opinion, is All My Children, with which she just seemed to click—every time she was associated with it. But I loathed her time as HW of One Life to Live and of As the World Turns. (Not that there’s a huge pool of talented people out there who are available and still willing to work in the field, mind you. I am forced to confess that I don’t have another/better suggestion.)
I find Lorraine’s writing to be strong; AMC was her strongsuit since we was there the most as a long-term head scribe. But I feel like GH needs a writing reboot in order for it to be more cohesive, as well as a change in its direction. Using OLTL cameras that were not made for HD television is lowering the quality of the series immensely.
Scott, just like Michelle Stafford, Billy Miller will blow you away! These two talented actors came from the #1 soap on TV. IF they can write him correctly, make Nina a little less cartoonish, and nab Jack Wagner back as Frisco, GH will be number one in 2015. You read it here first!
Timmm, I know where Billy is from. I’ve watched Y&R for 21 years; I’m just not sold on his acting abilities. The hype around him is kind of over-rated for me. GH won’t ever be #1 on the soap ratings, especially at the rate it’s going.
I agree with you on the fact that General Hospital does have a cluttered cast. The show does not appear to be very balanced with so many new faces, returning veterans, and useless recurring characters. I do think Billy Miller will do well as Jason, however.
Well I do not normally take up for Steve Burton but he has an emmy in 1999 for best supporting actor. Since that seems to be what everybody bases their assumptions on who a good actor is. Would you like me to list all the actors and actresses who have never won an emmy who can act circles around the ones who do. I like Billy Miller that being said he did not part the Red Sea at least I have not heard that one yet. Steve Burton gave that role everything he could for 21 years I may not like JFP’s favoritism of him but please do not take away what he gave to that role. I wish he was still there because I still can’t warm up to Dylan. I will repeat this once again no actor makes or breaks a soap it is a TEAM effort.
k/kay…y-e-s…EXACTLY!!!!! To me, it’s not about ‘the star of the show’ and all that (which I H-A-T-E BTW!!!!!). To me, it’s all about THE CAST (and their characters) all coming together as a unit and doing THEIR BEST to make it all workable and believable (or at least TRY) onscreen. Anything less…No Thank You. And, k/kay…the last 5 words of your post summed it up PERFECTLY…it is a TEAM effort!!!!!! Yes.
Take care, k/kay. XOXOXOXOXO
YR and OLTL have taken over GH…Why couldnt they have just worked with Steve Burton instead of bringing back people from the dead? All that money to washed up soap stars. Pretty soon they will rename it the “Undead” Starring fake Franco and nutty Nina. I am not impressed anymore. Been a fan for 50 Years and have never seen GH so bad.
what a blow. back to soap operas. YIKES!
I was hoping he would have gone to a hit prime time show or maybe become a movie star.
what a waste of such potential.
🙁
How is acting on a soap a waste?? Acting is acting.
He still might make it to the big screen or to cable TV.
Acting is acting? Not exactly. There are dramas and there are cartoons…
He gave the impression that he wanted to do something other than soaps. And now he’s back to soaps…. It only took eight months for his return. Geez.
Cartoons?? LOL, ok Elizabeth.
The only thing I can say is that some people see the daytime actors as the bottom of the rung in acting. They put in long hours during the week, then weekends are spent with promoting the show with all weekend get togethers. These guys are worked to death.
Having said that, I would like to say that Billy has his work cut out for him. Not only does he have to jump into very large shoes, he has to convince every fan out there that he is worthy. As we all know, GH fans are the toughest fans around. He better be good or they will eat him alive. literally. I wouldn’t want his job for no amount of money, car, plane, Whatever. Billy better be more than good. Girls have fantasized about this Jason since they were big enough to watch. Can he pull the dark brooding fellow who did most of his acting through his body language and his eyes. Cause if not Billy may be in for a very hard time. I have promised myself that I will say nothing for 2 months unless he is so good that he blows me away.
@Monica…it’s been a few weeks since this post so I’m not sure if you’ll see my reply but I agree with most of what you said. The one place I differ is that I’m not sure this version of Jason will have to be “dark.” I think his personality will be manipulated by the Cassadine’s, unless they were just used as a vehicle to bring him back. In that case, he might be the old Jason Q…which was so different than Jason Morgan. Either way, we may have seen the last of Jason Morgan as we knew him…physically as well as his personality. Thus, Billy may have a great opportunity to make this character his own.
Hmmm, i don’t think making a Clint Eastwood movie after Y&R is a waste. I’m sure GH is going to let him to other projects too & that’s why he’s happy to go there.
Exactly,what a bunch of Negative Nellies posting here! Fill those cups up damn it!
Why do you watch soaps if you do not respect the art of soaps? It is very hard to do and I would take my hat off to a daytime soap star before I ever would for a night time star or someone in the movies! Billy Miller wanted off Y&R because of Jill Farren Phillips, the same lady who almost killed GH! He never said he didnt want to be on soaps again. Eric Braeden could have done a ton of other TV or movies but he stayed at Y&R out of respect for his craft AND security, something you dont get being a movie star unless your in the one percent.
FYI, her name is Phelps, not Phillips…
Good…i got it right…now i can pat myself on the back and eat a piece of my congratulations cake…and its yummy chocalot…lol
Jason Quartimaine, M.D.,…i hope!!!
Or as a killer doctor who kills off half the cast after Victor unleashes a deadly virus on PC called ‘FrankenRon Fever’…so if we eliminate about a dozen cast members i wouldnt mind Jason as Jason ‘THE TERMINATOR’ Quartimaine, M.D,…LOL
I agree. I have always thought it would be a great storyline if Jason returned as a Quartermaine and had to work through and live with his past as a career mobster.
I’d love to join you, jimh!
Eating that cake, I mean.
Yes omg ,I’m so happy!!! Not only am I happy that I get to have my favorite Character back on canvas!!! But I Get Billy Miller in the role too! I’m here for it!!!
I’m actually excited about this. I think he will fill the black T-shirt admirably. My wish is that TPTB finally let Liz and Jason have the love story they were always meant to have.
Yes he looks so good with Liz , I’m liaison fan so I’m keeping my fingers cross
Yeah, Aria. Liz nuJason would really complement each other…she’s so pretty.
Liz is a nurse and she has Nicholas, Ric, and Jason after her. What a life!
love it! Billy is better off without YR! so happy!
nope! you just ruined it for thei 40 yr viewer! I would rather Jason character stay dead! no one is gonna portray that character as well as steve Burton but with this recast and new lame story lines that draw on too long I have whittled gh down to about a 10-15 mins soap!
Steve was very good BUT give Billy a chance. I bet he will win your heart but the writers have to pick it up and cut the damn fat!
So happy to have Billy back on my TV… Great job GH
Disappointed he’s not Lucky b/c I think Billy Miller would have been a perfect fit.
Yep. Lucky would have been a better choice.
I think so too, Elizabeth. But, I’ll take Billy in any way, shape or form…even as Jason.
Dillion Q.
Oh he would be a great Dylan Q. Cannot see him as Jason AT ALL. As Billy he was too clownish & silly & he got on my nerves. I guess they wrote him that way.
So what happens now. GH pulls in a few Billy Miller fans and some people who are curious about a NuJason? Then after a bump, the ratings go back down and they try and figure out another new actor to cast and the cycle repeats? Is that what this soap has become? Making announcements and roping some new people in because of who is on the show instead of the quality of what they are doing? It’s just so transparent and superficial and it is why the quality on the show is so lacking. They don’t make a commitment to the writing and storytelling, they just rely on castings and events like the Nurses Ball attracting people regardless of the actual quality.
I understand that they want to being Jason back, although I could do without him, and I understand that a new actor has to portray him. But my impression is that the goal was to cast Billy Miller and they chose the character of Jason for him, not that they were dying to have Jason back and then cast the actor. That’s the problem. The story is not primary. The casting is. That’s why we have a show with inferior writng/storytelling.
They have all this money for Billy Miller and Michelle Stafford, but we can’t get GH veteran actors and beloved characters to have any real screen time or stories. It’s a business model that may work for a while and it may not. But due to that model and approach, the quality of the show continues to suffer greatly.
Sheesh! sooo many negative NANCY’S! If you think the soap drags, or the stories are not worth watching…. WHY DO YOU WATCH???! I along with million of others tune it to be ENTERTAINED! I KNOW it is fictitious and LOVE it that way! If I wanted real life stories, I WOULD WATCH ONE OF THE MILLION REALITY SHOWS THAT FLOOD THE CHANNELS AND HAVE KILLED MOST OF THE SOAPS! Here is a suggestion to all of you Nancy’s out there, CHANGE THE FRICKEN CHANNEL! Just sayin…… I applaud the writers, producers and actors of GH! GH is better now and gets better even after I have been watching 40 something years!
Michael Fairman, why was the below comment replying to D not posted? You allow this person to be combative and rude without provocation and you don’t allow a response. Maybe you should post the rules for the comment section because I obviously don’t understand them.
D- Why would you attach to my comment and talk about real life stories vs. fiction? What in my post addressed any of that?
As for why I or anyone else who is disappointed in the show still keeps up, I don’t think that’s really anyone else’s business and not anyone’s place to tell someone else to change the channel. Why not just talk about why you like the show and keep it at that? The comment section here is for people to express their opinions about the show. I don’t ask why you like it and I don’t question the fact of whether you should
Terrible writing is what killed the soaps. And no matter what they do with recasting from the archives of other shows…. terrible writing will be their downfall.
Amen to this, D. You’re absolutely right. I am loving GH right now. The writing is fresh and surprising and GH has employed some of the best actors working ANYWHERE in show biz. Roger Howarth, Michelle Stafford, Jason Patrick … genius.
You have the right to say what you will, right D? Well, everyone else on this site has the same privilege . We are here to exchange thoughts and opinions, not to bash each other.
As yourself, I applaud the writers for entertaining us…as my Gran loves to say…peace out !!
Hi Michael-
I fully understand, appreciate and respect that. If a comment of mine is not allowed on based on content, I fully understand. That is why comments are moderated and I give you tons of credit for allowing so many posts, including mine, that are severely critical of the show.
The reason I asked about that particular post was because it was not about content, but a response, quite a civil response I thought, to a poster who I thought was rude, not about the show, but to me.
I appreciate your response. I appreciate this site and how well you do your job and the standard of fairness that you employ.
Best to you.
THANK YOU D !!! For those who can only criticize, Remote controls were
invented 4U, change the channel or turn it off. See how easy life can be
Well, Fanny…you completely missed the point. As long as posters do not get verbally abusive, constructive criticism is great for the soul and could be very informative. It should be as well accepted as any praise-given comment. That’s what makes the world go-’round. When you read what you may think is a negative comment, keep an open mind. You’d be surprise what you may discover. I really don’t want to sound like I’m preaching, but I am certain that we all mean well when we post. None of us wants to intentionally affront anyone. Again, you are entitled to your opinion, but so is everyone else.
D: I couldn’t have said it better myself! I love GH, have been a fan since I was a little girl watching Luke and Laura with my mother – and I think the writers are doing a GREAT job… Not everything is perfect (those adorable kids that they write like teenagers instead of the children they are is borderline absurd), and the gay storyline is a little ridiculous (not the actors, or that the characters are gay, but the storyline itself)… But what in this life is perfect?!? I love the addition of Michelle Stafford, Maura West’s acting is second to none – and Laura Wright – just shut up!!!! I love the pace of the show – nearly every episode is can’t miss – there are surprises around every corner, and they do their best to give each and every actor something to sink their teeth into. Not everything works – but when it does it works in SPADES! I can’t wait to see what Billy Miller brings to the table as Jason. I never watched him on Y&R, which I think is only to my benefit as I will not have any preconceived idea of who he should or shouldn’t be! Love you GH – keep up the outstanding work! :0 )
I think Billy Miller is an incredible talent but do feel he was miscast as Jason Morgan. How on earth is he going to harness that natural, bubbling effervescent personality in order to fit that puzzle piece known as Stone Cold?
It seems to me that he would have been better suited as Dylan Quartermaine or as someone else suggested, Lucky Spencer.
I also worry that RC will not do justice for this character. Look what he did to Roger Haywarth also an incredible actor who now just serves as Carly’s confused purse holder.
I know, Miss D, you will call me a Negative Nellie, but my worries are predicated upon the pattern RC has established. And while I am no fan of Dr Phil’s (trust the message, not the messenger) he is right when he says that the best indicator of future behavior is past behavior.
Harry..
Billy Miller will be Jason Quartermaine = Quartermaine..
The use to be Jason will gone and a Jason Morgan will be reborn as Jason Quartermaine!!
He will be nothing as SB’s Jason, and that is a very good thing!
Now Harry,, wait for it, you will be surprised are luvin the new and improved Jason 🙂
perhaps Jason’s mind, all that he was, will be erased..
Whatever– he will in no way be as the departed SB/Jason .. you betcha!! 🙂
I have to agree that given his charm and personality he would have made a better Dillon, or even Lucky, as opposed to Jason. Maybe I’m a bit biased as I never liked Jason Morgan. I am not looking forward to Jason returning unless he is a Q.
Wasnt he stone cold in that cryogentic chamber…lol…i always found Steve Burtons acting like a mannequin that came to life…i expected twighlight zones Marsha White(the late Anne Francis) to escort him to the ninth floor of some department store to help her pick out a thimble before returning back into a mannequin…lol…maybe SB has won acting awards? but SB’s bland style of acting is just as bad as the wooden actor playing Nathan West…i hope BM as Jason is taken in a different direction…no mob ties…i hope we see a little more Monica but i wont cross my fingers…jmo!!!
Okay, Su00. I hope you’re right.
I think Miller is quite a catch.
Harry & Jim H,
1st I’m thrilled so many men watch GH, and soaps in general!
Although he has MANY fans, I also thought SB’s Jason Morgan was stiff (and Jason Q for that matter!). I also thought he was a Debbie Downer butt who was mean to Mama Monica (and his dad) for no great reason! 🙂 HOWEVER….
If anyone can expand the role, it’s Billy Miller! I HAVE to believe that his personality is going to expand when his character finally is awake! Maybe this circumstance is going to be a great opportunity for the transition. If it doesn’t work, surely the writers will change it. Surely we are all on the same side!
None of the fans like Franco. Giving him a brain tumor and then asking us to reboot is silly. James Franco’s character should have been killed off when he portrayed him. It was his character and he was twisted. Now you reboot Franco with Roger and basically you removed the teeth from the tiger but you still expect it to scare you. Franco is harmless and Roger probably is embarrassed to attach himself to such a character.
Billy Miller is first and foremost an ACTOR. He understands his craft and takes the material/the character/supporting players and brings his artistry to his roles. 3 time Emmy winner actually nominated 4. This is an actor who instinctively understands what he needs to do while on screen AND DOES IT. Where Steve Burton may have seemed one note, and it carries over to Y&R, as far as I am concerned…Billy Miller will bring Jason to true life and be a formidable character on screen. It won’t take long to get used to him and he will play this role with all subtlety and nuance it deserves. Sorry Steve Burton fans…while I appreciate him he isn’t clicking as usual for me. Well let me contradict myself..I finally started to warm up to him once he got with Sam…but then he was gone to the Collonade room and that was that.
Oh the days of Y&R’s Colonade room. The one upscale meet and greet for Genoa city’s best that only brought out the worst in the most refined be it holiday or wedding. I would NEVER have wanted a party thrown for me there. Good luck if you got out unscathed back in the day. So off point but there you have it. LOL!!
Harry….Having never seen BM in any soap performances, all I have from which to judge his abilities is his role on an engrossing little show called “Ringer” which played on the CW a few seasons back. Initially, his character, “John,” was supposed to be a good-guy cop, and he played the hero to the hilt. However, it soon became apparent that much more nefarious motives were part of his psychological make-up, and he turned dark and scary on a dime. By the time he was killed off, he had become a totally venomous villain. So, Miller definitely has the right stuff to pull off far more than the familiar cheerful Charlie act for which he seems to be so famous!
OMG jimh, I just flashed back to that episode of the Twilight Zone you mentioned and I can’t stop cracking up! Marsha White going with Steve Burton to the ninth floor, LMAO!
I agree with GH50 – it’s the stories that make soaps what they are, not the actors. Yes, we grow attached to some actors the longer we watch, but it’s the characters we love and if the story isn’t there, it doesn’t matter who the actor is. I suspect you are correct, they were trying to fit Billy Miller into the show no matter what, regardless of whether the story actually made sense.
Jim, I agree with you somewhat but every now and then Burton would do something to make me think he wasn’t just a wooden boy. He can emote with his eyes at times. I don’t think he is nearly as bad as Nathan West but he’s been uninspired as Dylan on Y&R as of late. I think pairing him up with Avery was a huge mistake.
Annie, I also agree with GH50 and as for you, Miss D? Please stop ordering us long time fans to stop watching if we are not over the moon about GH’s stories and casting. Because as of last May, I have done just that–stopped watching. Despite my complaints I really want GH to improve to generate ratings so it can sustain life. I really don’t want GH to be cancelled. I come to forums such as this one not only to voice my opinion, be it negative or positive, but to get a sense as to whether the show is improving or not.
I remain cautiously optimistic that Billy Miller will shine on GH and yes, I am going to tune in to see how it all unfolds.
Meanwhile, I pray to the soap gods that they do not pair Jason up with Sparkle Pony. Please, soap gods, no, just no!
Stories are number 1 but 1A is the actor. Case in point the character of James/Nathan. This character has a ton of stories in him but the actor cannot act what is written. It takes two Annie. Any good actor will tell you he or she owes what they do on screen to the writers but writers will tell you that if they dont cast the write actor to read their lines they wrote, it will fall flat.
Hey Haven! I think I know you from somewhere. I do agree that Miller is positively magnetic.
Why. He is so magnetic that he is just crackling with electricity.
Keep Y&R’s Neil Winters away from him!
It is called progress and young, fresh faces, GH50. I appreciate what you are saying, but some of us are ecstatic over this…gushing with pleasure, actually. Inasmuch as this might leave a few viewers disappointed, I missed Billy’s ready smile on my screen. Please, people, don’t put a damper on this exciting news.
I like how you think, su0000.
Billy Miller is a fantastic actor, how could anyone not want to see quality actors on GH? I really don’t get it. I was never that crazy about Steve Burton, so I think he might actually be a better Jason than Burton was. This is nothing but a positive thing for GH, in my opinion.
I love all the veteran characters too, and it’s a delicate balance trying to find time for everyone. A balance that I think FV, RC and company do a pretty good job of achieving. I’ll always love seeing the beloved veterans on the show. But adding new actors and new characters helps spice things up, and I think they have a good track record with some of the bigger names they’ve added to the show in recent years like Maura West, William deVry, and Michelle Stafford. There’s no reason to think that Billy Miller won’t fit in just as well.
GH50 you make some valid points. Michelle and Billy are sure to make top dollar. I dont have a problem with bringing in two VERY talented actors. The writing needs to improve and they have to cut the freakin fat! I mean, Nina acting in scenes with James brings her way down. She is so talented and he reads his lines like I read the back of my cereal box! Billy Miller, whatever Jason we get, he is going to be blessed with scenes with Sonny, Carly, Monica, Tracy, Liz, Michael, and Sam. All of who are very good actors. Throw in Robin and Billy Miller hit the jackpot. I love the actor who plays Lucas but they need to get rid of the other two guys. Characters like that wear out my FF button on my DVR!
Well GH50 I don’t think you are a negative nellie– I think you really care about GH and truly believe in your heart and soul the direction it has taken will eventually lead to its destruction and you speak up about it hoping someone in authority might read it I find most of your points valid and I have said similar things about my favorite soap Y&R.
I find posters who constantly bash a soap they don’t even watch or rarely watch, are the ones who are negative– putting a soap down for no valid reason except it isn’t the one they watch or like, to me that is far more a turn off than someone like you who dares to say the emperor isn’t wearing any clothes, meaning GH isn’t living up to its potential.
I can tell you really care about GH and your criticism isn’t coming from place of hate but because you care about it, unfortunately sometimes that kind of passion is misunderstood— but when it is, sometimes, it is best just to let it go, and not engage those attack not your points, but your character or your right to make whatever point you want to make.
I think this site would be rather dull if all I read was sunshine and lollipops about the soaps, and hopefully there is room for civilized debate done with respect and kindness. And for me part of the fun of watching a soap is complaining about it, but perhaps I am part of a dying breed, who remembers what that means.
GH50, I have to say, I have read many of your comments over the past few months, and I have noticed you are excessively critical…. maybe there is perhaps a better platform for you to share your complaints and criticisms.
This is supposed to be a fun escape for us …. while I don’t think we are looking for Pollyanna’ s here, the constant negativity is growing a bit tiresome….
Do we have a first airdate or did I miss that?
No we don’t. He only JUST joined the cast from what I gather, so I don’t see a debut until early November sweeps.
I am not a Jason fan, but I am a Billy Miller fan, so I’m keeping an open mind.
Maybe Jason will finally have a personality!
After years of watching CBS soaps…General Hospital is now becoming becoming my favorite. It is all because of doing things like getting the best actors in the world. Billy Miller has got to be my #1. Thank you GH!!!!
I’m surprised that they actually announced it. I really thought they were going to do the same thing they did with Michelle Stafford, and have a surprise one clip scene.
So did I but since they dragged this to long they probably just wanted to announce it to calm all the fans that were getting upset for dragging it to long.
Could be.
No surprise here. This was speculated for months. I’m really excited to see what Billy does with the role. Hopefully he will be more than a Borg.
I’m a big fan of Billy Miller – loved him as Billy Abbott and looking forward to his spin on Jason Morgan….I think he’ll be wonderful !
Loved BM on Y&R, but I don’t see him in the role of Jason at all. I think he would have been a better fit as either Lucky or Traci’s other son (can’t remember his name). Nowadays it seems as though all the daytime producers are playing musical chairs with the actors. GH seems like it’s trying to get as many people on the show as they can resulting in minimally developed storylines. I’d rather see fewer characters with more focus.
So happy he is so talented and cute!
Mark…I’m thrilled, too!!!!! Y-A-Y!!!!! As far as I’m concerned, Billy Miller is gonna B-R-I-N-G SO MUCH to the GH table!!!!! Bottom Line Here: Y&R’s loss is MOST DEFINITELY GH’s gain!!!!!!
Take care, Mark. XOXOXOXOXO
Billy Miller has a smile which can light up a football stadium.
He is the antithesis to Stone Cold.
Now would be a good time for Spinelli to return.
EXCELLENT point, Harry!!!!! I agree!!!!! To me, Billy Miller has such an easy, easygoing and effortless S-M-I-L-E that lights up 24/7 PERIOD!!!!!
Take care, Harry.
A-C-E-S!!!!!!!
I agree with the excitement of having Billy Miller take on the role of Jason, I truly think he has the talents to add emotional levels to the character that I found truly lacking when he was being portrayed by Mr. Burton.
I hope Jason gets a personality transplant. Otherwise don’t bother bringing him back to life.
well….
Billy Miller will be Jason Quartermaine = Quartermaine..
The use to be Jason Morgan/hit man will now be Jason Quartermaine!! I betcha!
Jason is being reborn.. so there will change, great change for the Jason character!
Billy Miller! It doesn’t get any better than Biller Miller!! 🙂
Lou…I get what you’re saying. And you make a very valid point. As far as I’m concerned, Steve Burton DOES NOT know how to be comedic onscreen. No. But…Billy Miller D-O-E-S know how to be VERY COMEDIC onscreen!!!!! Lou…if you can, just be patient and give Billy Miller a chance. As a B-I-G FAN of his, I know I will!!!!! Thanks.
Take care, Lou. Peace.
Loving this awesome news, WOW!! 🙂 Love my GH.
I was hoping he’d be cast as Lucky, but I do love Jonathan Jackson. I really believe they’re going to pair him with Elizabeth, which is fine by me!! They’re obviously going the way of Patrick/Sam, and Becky Herbst is overdue for a hot romance, this triangle with Britt and Nikolas isn’t cutting it!!!! And they can leave Ric off the canvas, bc I want Liz with Jason!!!!
I never thought of him as Lucky but that could have been really interesting. I would have been torn though, I love Jonathan J. So much as that character.
Or they couldve brought him on as Dillon Quartermaine!! Especially now that Ned is back!!!!
if he’s relegated to mob sidekick w/Sonny and Sean…. and blah, blah, blah whomever else.
that’s not ringing in ANYTHING of interest
put him back at the Q’s…. with mom monica and aunt Traci
let’s see all the drama start their… and HE goes back to the hospital
pant pant
Liz who should be with Ric
Britt who should be with Nich
patient Nina who should be with (dull/snore) Silas or is it uninteresting Franco
I had hoped Billy Miller was a recast Matt. ( Patricks’ Brother)
if he’s a true Q and starts working at the hospital… that’d totally change my mind
Soap Gawds ! Please don’t even try too soon… to pair him back with Sam or Carly.
too obvious….
I don’t know… i’m disappointed that GH decided to go this route with such an enigmatic prolific mega-watt huge fan base…
he’s star matter and I hope the writing helps… as GH fans know does and can falter
No way, I am with you on this, Patrick. Paired with Carly? As Shay said, she is an Amazon…I will go a hundred steps further and call her a mastodon. She would squash him.
As for Sam? That ship has sailed…could still work, I guess. But, I detected a few sparks under the embers between her and Patrick. We shall see.
And, no…..definitely no involvement with scrawny, scheming, leathery Don Sonny, who, by the by, should join Stefano DiMera wherever he is. Lol
CeeCee: had to say that your comment about Sonny & Stefano had be howling out loud – Good One!!!
I don’t think he’s going back to Sonny or the Q’s in the near future; he’ll be Victor’s puppet. Or…he might have him programmed in that he does go back to both…but is actually the eyes and ears for Victor and crazy defrosted family.
I agree with “D”. I’ve been watching GH for 40+ years as well .Yes I can’t remember when GH has been better, yes I’m am thrilled that Billy Miller is going to be playing Jason. I think he will make the character his own. Y&R’s loss is GH’s gain! I loved him as Billy Abbott, and I am looking forward to watching him play Jason Morgan. Honestly, I think it will be a nice departure from the way the character was portrayed by Steve Burton. Jason was getting to be so boring.
lol
Y&R got GH’s Steve Burton..
GH got Y&R’s Billy Miller..
GH got the best of the best deal lol
(hope GH lands MM, also)
I’m excited!
Jason is being reborn!!
I feel he will be a powerful Quartermaine!!!
Oh my gosh…You made me spit my tea out..Yes, Y&R got Jason & Steve Burton.. GH def got the better end! (I feel awful f or Y&R fans losing half of their next generation cast. I’d be livid!)
I’M THRILLED THAT BILLY IS TAKEN OVER THE ROLE OF JASON. SO GLAD THAT YOU ALL HAVE WORKED IT OUT, AS HE IS AN ASSET TO GH. HE’S SUCH A GOOD ACTOR. LOOKING FORWARD TO HIM COMING SOON AS JASON AND WILL DO VERY WELL. EVERYONE NEEDS TO REMEMBER, HE WILL BE ABLE TO MAKE JASON HIS AND ONLY HIS. WISHING HIM THE BEST OF LUCK, AND WELCOME TO HIM TO COME TO THE BEST SOAP ON TV EVER. WILL SAY A PRAYER FOR HIM, AS I BELIEVE THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON.
No one///////no one can replace Stone Cold. However I am happy to see Q’s back!! That means more air time for Monica, Ned, Tracy. I miss this family dominating daytime!
They wont pair him with Sam IMO. But with Liz.
Sam was in love with JM not JQ so I expect that will be one of the first things they cover is Sam accepting that the man who fell into the harbor is not the same guy that has been reborn.
I hope you’re right, Timmm. I dread the thought of a nuJason/Sam pairing. ….my omnipotent soap gods, please erase that image from your minds. Seriously, Billy’s counterpart should be as effervescent as he. Why is Sam always so sullen? Perhaps she and Silas do belong together….they have matching personalities.
I think there are many Y&R fans more than willing to give Steve Burton back to GH for the role of Jason, if they could get back Billy Miller back as Billy Abbott.
Right now it looks like there is some kind of competition going between the two soaps. Jill steals Steve, so Frank grabs Emme, so Jill lures Tristen, so Frank takes Michelle and Billy— now it is Jill’s turn— what actor or actors from GH should she try to lure to Y&R?? What part would you have them play?
I think she should try to steal the actress playing Traci Quartermaine to play Katherine’s Chancellor’s husband Phillip’s niece who makes a claim to the Chancellor estate.
And I want Jill to try to get hands on the actor who plays Morgan to be a recast of Kyle
Any other thoughts
hopefully not
Agreed Michael! Jane Elliot is fantastic in the role of Tracy Quartermaine. Mary SF bite your tongue because,we need our Quartermaines!
Thanks for the reply. I think my post was misunderstood, I was just playing a fanciful game of what if– sometimes on sport’s radio they will ask fans what their dream team would be or who should be traded where. I never for a moment thought Jane would leave GH or would want her to, but in alternative universe type of scenario, I could see Jane playing on Y&R a role to what I wrote about. It was all meant in fun.
Love all of your ideas, Mary. But I would rather see Erika Slezak cast in the part you just creatively invented.
ES has so much talent and she needs a job! Y&R could use a new matriarch–ES could be that matriarch. I miss her.
harry, how could you?! Erika Slezak would be best off as Laura Horton on DAYS! Credit goes to jimh.
Love that idea Harry!
You must be talking about Jane Elliot… She’s a keeper! I loved her as DAYS’ Angelica Devereaux!!!
4Ever Days–okay, ES could be on Days! Or GH even! I don’t care but give that woman a job! She’s a real gem and she’s not ready for retirement.
There are empty mansion sets all over daytime just aching for a new, spirited, blood matriarch–ES is that matriarch!
Yes, as happy as I am to have Billy Miller on GH I would make the swap for Steve Burton. He is being wasted over at Y&R. Not going to happen so we have BM and he is soooo talented. He will work as Jason Q. As for Jane Elliot leaving for Y&R, no. She will never leave GH. She would be great over at Y&R and they so desperately need someone to run the Chancellor estate but it wont be Jane.
I was just playing a game of wishful thinking, I know Jane would never leave GH– was hoping to hear from others about who from GH they would like to see on Y&R– since the two shows seem to be swapping cast members. I meant the question to be like a sports fan naming their dream team— it’s all for fun, not serious, — I mean can you picture TG (FLuke) playing Victor Newman– that would be a hoot, but by the response I got I don’t think GH fans are too keen even imaging losing cast members to another soap. Oh well, no hard feelings GH fans- just trying to have some fun.
We know Mary, we were playing along with you. They were good ideas.
Good luck to the talented Mr. Miller. I think he would have made a better Dylan Quartermaine but I am willing to see how he portrays the Jason character. Another great loss for Y and R is GH gain.
Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever read so many negative comments that were so wrong. Billy is a terrific actor. GH is lucky to get him and Frank/Ron were smart to go after him. He’s more than just a bump in the ratings; Billy’s dynamic. You can’t take your eyes off him when he’s on screen. He’s also someone people want to see back on their TV’s. That’s a smart move on TPTB’s part to cast him.
Also, to those saying daytime acting is a waste of talent, I could not disagree more. Most of the people who are involved in daytime have more talent in their little pinkies than those in the movies have in their entire hand. They shoot at a rapid-fire pace without much, if any rehearsal; there are rarely second chances anymore. Any movie star or primetime TV star will tell you they take days to shoot a few pages. With that kind of luxury, there would never be a mistake in daytime. The daytime community is comprised of some of the hardest working, best talent on the planet. I’ll go to bat for them any day of the week. Without them, this site wouldn’t exist and a huge void would exist in many people’s lives. They deserve more respect than a lot of people on this site are giving them. JHMO and I’m sticking to it.
Rodd, I think the negativity comes from Steve Burton fans and his fans are not familiar with Billy Miller’s work. Billy will knock it out of the park. GH is sooo lucky to have signed him.
Awesome news! Can’t wait to see how the stories unfold! Great job GH recognizing Billy’s talent and brining him on-board!
Billy Miller is a fantastic actor and GH is lucky to have him. Another big loss for Y&R. Michelle Stafford, Michael Muhney, and Billy Miller. A triple loss.
I pray MM comes over to GH as a Cassadine.
Wow…that’s a great idea, Timmm. MM would scare the weebie-jeebies out of anybody as a Cassidine. I love him too.
EXCELLENT CASTING NEWS!!!!! Now that Billy Miller is boarding the GH train and all, maybe he can give the character of Jason Morgan something that that overrated Steve Burton never could…A MUCH NEEDED SENSE OF HUMOR!!!!! As for Y-O-U, Jill Farren Phelps…YA SNOOZE YA LOSE!!!!!! Clueless witch.
Glad to see Billy back, but it does not fill the void he left as Billy Abbot. Burgess Meredith Jenkins (sic) reminds me of a Ken doll with a toupee, not Billy.
LOVE this actor. Do not LOVE the Jason role but hey… if you die and get a new lease on life, I sense you change some in the personality department. I expect lots of confusion for Jason about who he was and what he wants to be. Perhaps some memory issues. My hope is embraces his Quartermaine connections and we get a story about a man who works to escape his mob past. And a romance with Liz would be real sweet, too. My guess is we get Jason Morgan back but in name only. New actor. New life (literally for Jason). And new direction.
But I must agree with the earlier post expressing a wish for stories with GH veterans. Here here!
GH vets are great BUT if they dont have a story line its a waste of time. Laura should be on the show right now. Luke is spinning out of control and Lulu is missing. No mention of Laura?
I think he will do well in the part…IF….they do away with the last incarnation of Jason. Billy Miller is great at playing the mischievous scamp but I don’t see him as the emotionless, blah Jason that had been on screen for so long.
Hopefully, they will pair him up with Liz (though I am not overly fond of the character ) or even Britt and not try to somehow create a romance with the dreaded Sabrina.
OK Billy Miller is coming to GH…..he’s a fine soap actor…RC has his hand full of females
Sabrina… he might put him with her’
Carly….a little bit too old
Liz….he might go a second round…But I will throw my TV…she’s like Victoria no thanks
Rose-Lie……she got a big mouth…He might put him with her….
Nina….a skip this one
Britt….she’s new, he might put her with him…for effect
SAM……………………………………WE GOT A WINNER
Don’t count out ..Liz, Sabrina, Roselie, or Brittt…But Sam is my 1st choice, ..
n
Now how Jason will deal with Julian his father inlaw, that’s the million dollar ?
Soap Gods, this is Timmm, THANK YOU!
LOL
high 5
LOL
i’ll post the same… when and if Michael Muhney gets cast … be it GH or Days of OUR Lives as the new EJ… and Jason Brooks comes back as Peter Blake
In my mind Steve Burton can’t be replaced as Jason, so I won’t start watching the show again. But I wish the best to the new actor, Billy Miller, who will be playing Jason.
Your loss Nancy. Billy Miller is sooo talented. Y&R would die for him right about now. I promise you he will make you forget about Steve if you open your mind.
Everybody will just have to wait and see his take on Jason until he airs. I am thrilled that they finally acknowledged that he is going to GH so now just maybe Y&R fans can start trying to welcome Burgess Jenkins in the role of Billy Abbott. It takes time for anybody to replace a beloved actor in a role, now maybe everyone will let it go and quit posting bring Billy Miller back. I wish him much luck in making the part his own!
that does not mean that burgess jenkins will be accepted in the role of billy but that is a slap in the face to y&r tough michelle stafford, maura west, and now billy miller general hospital is taking old y&r castmembers.
If it was up to me he would still be Billy Abbott and Steve Burton would be back at GH playing Jason. This back and forth between GH & Y&R trading actors reminds me of trading ball players. Now it is out in the open and everybody knows as long as JFP is running the show at Y&R BM,MS were never coming back.
You’re so right, Don…for a minute there I thought you had written ‘cast-offs ‘…lol. Y&R must be eating crow.
I can’t even imagine why David Tom was replaced by Burgess Jenkins .( never heard of him before he appeared on Y&R )….. I actually thought that Tom, who originated the role of Billy Abbot, never missed a beat. I always liked him. Billy miller perfected and completed the role.
But, Jenkins? OMG…..forgive me, but he’s got to go.
Burgess is horrible!
#1 this is a big boon and definite ADD for Serial
I don’t even want to venture : will he be stuck with Sonny Sean Sam…. mob tied
the best route is for him to go HOME to the Q’s and live with mom for awhile… and go to work at the hospital….
and let him dance with the Ladies
this is just food for thought
the three amigos; to date ; Silas, Franco, and Kiki…. aren’t breaking records… taking hold and charge of their characters in Port Charles
Nina : currently : is being stifled by and with Silas and Sam
PLEASE do not make Jason a mobster… back with monotone excitement …. she looked so good with Steve Burton Jason… because of his stalwart machismo and didn’t have to act let alone TALK
with Silas… and Sam… it went… moved along… the writing has near ruined them
Silas, of the three amigos had the most to generate and make it.
he had the job at the hospital, Rafe, and Sam w/Daniel. there was so much going on…
now it seems like a wash and by the wayside… that this suffers
Billy Miller is astronomical
what a presence
what a shock if would be and bonus…. with added boon…. if he awoke and wanted his mother… and remembers he’s a doctor. LOL in the meantime…. Sam is involved with another doctor… and Silas treats Daniel as his own son
all systems go for this
lots of excitement over this new cast member…. as there should be
my first thought….. where is the writing
Billy Miller has way too much energy to tie him down as the dark and moody Jason Morgan. He will be a Q!
I am not surprised of the casting at all but this a great addition to the cast and billy miller will do a great job as jason can’t wait to see him working with maurice benard sonny and who he will deal with silas with his wife.
Is there a trifecta in the works…MS, BM and MM?
you know… i’d accept that…. even if the 3 mentioned… happened on GH
i’d wish MM for DAYS in the biggest way
back to your trifecta : whatever …. it takes : to bring Y&R down
a peg
a pedestal spiral
it’s not a #1 showing
Wow! What terrible news for Miller.
I’ll admit that I think GH is an awful soap (heresy at this site, I know), but things must be *really* messed up behind the scenes at Y&R for him to do this. Such a role certainly ain’t any kind of career advancement… this is really sad – such a talented actor.
Now, Billy has freedom to pursue other projects that Y&R would not give him that option….
So- its a very good thing for Billy Miller..
He will be employed and still be able to pursue other projects..
It is great news!!
Billy Miller coming to GH is trendy all over the internet; huge news!
Jason died, he is being brought back from being frozen..
there will be a big change but with no doubt Billy’s Jason will be a surprise and not the Jason that was portrayed by Steve B..
It’s a new day!! New life to GH .. Great talent! …. Rejoyce!!
(I want Micheal M to come to GH, too!!)
MS is doing a helluva job being Nina!!
GH is exciting!!
GH is far from awful and if you are so down on it, tune out. The fans of soaps realize that Billy signing on at GH is a major get and a major loss over at Y&R.
I love the energy of Billy Miller and hope that he will bring a unique spin to Jason and a much needed shot in the arm to GH. I think he could be good with Liz, Robin (unlikely since KMc is not coming back full time) or even with Maxie. He needs a fire cracker. I never liked Jason w/Sam.
In the end, it will all come down to good writing and my expectations at this point are low. I have been a #GH viewer on/off for 30 yrs & was brought back to GH last fall w/Robin’s return. I was underwhelmed with her storyline. I now watch occasionally whenever Robin, Anna, Liz, Maxie or Emma are on screen which is very little and their story lines are below average. I used to like Patrick but he’s become unrecognizable and quite boring. He’s only tolerable when he’s with Emma.
The battle for creating a SUPERSOAP is on!!..GH and Y&R are on fire in this departmen at the momentt..Fan base to those show are sure to increase..DAYS needs to get with the program and play this game too and add more huge fan favorites to the show..B&B is doing just fine, without signing fan favorites left to right at the moment.
Like it or not folks, soaps are in a struggle and they need to add all the fan favorites they can get.
GH’s big gain is Y&R’s big loss. Billy is one of the best actors in the medium. Sadly the new Billy Abbot is badly miscast and that has hurt Y&R tremendously. I hope when Jason comes back he is a Quartermaine again.
SO HAPPY TO HEAR THIS….I JOINED GENERAL HOSPITAL WHEN HE LEFT Y&R…SO THIS IS GREAT NEWS…NOW M.M. AND THEY WILL HAVE THE BEST OF Y&R!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All we need is Adam (Michael M) and we got a top notch Soap.
I’m not familiar with Billy though I’ve heard great things about him. He’s certainly a cutie! Funny, I saw Mark Lawson (Brody Lovett/OLTL) on some TV movie the other day and I was thinking he would have made a great new Jason!
Happy Days! Billy Miller on my screen! Great looking, great talent! who could ask for more?!
I agree with Michael. All this Negativity isn’t good for anyone nor for this Site. Why not sit back,let it happen (because it will regardless) and see what Billy Miller brings to the table! I know I’m excited!!!

REPORT: Nicholas Chavez Not Returning to General Hospital
For those who were holding out hope that Daytime Emmy winner and fan favorite, Nicholas Chavez would be returning to General Hospital after filming his leading role in Ryan Murphy’s Monsters anthology, it looks like those hopes have been dashed.
According to a report from TV Line, although unconfirmed from General Hospital or a representative for Chavez, the actor will not reprise his role as Spencer Cassadine on the long-running ABC soap opera and continue the love story of Sprina opposite Tabyana Ali (Trina, GH).
Chavez was cast as Lyle Menendez over the the summer of 2023 for the second season of Murphy’s limited Monsters series on Netflix. In the upcoming season, the series will focus on the the case of Lyle and Erik Menendez, the two well-to-do Beverly Hills brothers accused of murdering their parents in 1989.
Photo: ABC
After word from Chavez casting was revealed, GH fans were concerned over the fate of the Sprina story, a spokesperson for GH shared, “We support Nicholas’ endeavors and look forward to having him return to General Hospital once this project is wrapped.”
In story, the series “killed off” Spencer when he went overboard with Esme to the steely waters below after being injected with a drug, thanks to Esme and falling into the Seine River in France. However, his body was never recovered, and believed to have drowned or washed away. Thus, leaving an opening for Spencer to return in the form of Chavez or be recast down the line.
Photo: ABC
TV Line shared that ‘multiple sources’ are confirming that Chavez is not returning to the ABC soap opera, which is what many had suspected might be the case once he left for this major starring role in a Ryan Murphy project. Chavez has been relatively quiet on social media for months.
Photo: ABC
The Michael Fairman Channel spoke with Nicholas Chavez for a virtual interview when he first joined the show in 2021, and spoke to him right after when he won the Daytime Emmy in 2022 – you can see those below.
No word yet on when Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menéndez Story will debut on Netflix, but it is assumed later this year.
So, what do you think about the news of Nicholas Chavez not returning to his role as Spencer Cassadine on General Hospital? Comment below.

Jack Wagner Open to Making an Appearance in ‘Melrose Place’ Reboot and Shares, “You Never Really Die on a Soap”
With the Melrose Place revival the talk of the town, now Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco, GH, ex-Nick, B&B and ex-Peter Burns, MP) has weighed-in on it and if he would show up in the new series if it should find a home.
Currently, CBS Studios is developing a reboot starring Heather Locklear, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton. But what is Dr. Peter Burns were to show up alive?
As those who saw the end of the original MP know, Peter and Amanda (Locklear) faked their deaths and then tied the knot with Peter on a beach, supposedly in a “happily ever after” scenario.
Photo: Fox
Speaking with PEOPLE, Wagner expressed, what we all know who watch the soaps, that no one is never, ever really gone for good. Jack expressed, “You never really die on a soap, right? How they unfold those two characters (Peter and Amanda), it’d be fantastic how they sort of tell that story.”
Wagner added, “That was a great finale to be included in, especially with Heather. If I’m asked to come back, I’d absolutely entertain that.”
Photo: Fox
The original Melrose Place aired for seven seasons from 1992 to 1999. The story featured the residents of an apartment complex, whose lives were intertwined. Eventually Wagner and Heather Locklear dated fro 2007-2011.
As previously reported, the new Melrose Place share that some of original neighbors and friends reunite after a death. The loglines add, “The pressure cooker of a reunion soon uncovers old traumas, rekindles old romances, reignites old resentments, and reveals new secrets… throwing our characters into chaotic drama that’s reminiscent of the past, but with a much more modern perspective.”
So, would you like to see Jack Wagner return as Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place, or Frisco Jones on GH, or both? Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Brook Lynn and Chase Have Their Bachelor and Bachelorette Parties
On General Hospital, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) both were treated to Bachelorette and Bachelor parties to shake off any of those pre-wedding jitters. At The Savoy, the ladies have a touching and fun time with Brook Lynn.
The bride-to-be gives a speech to thank everyone for coming, while Lois lets everyone know to try the signature cocktail the “Brooklynn Chaser”, which gets everybody eventually and mostly, drunk.
When Tracy (Jane Elliot) questions Lois (Rena Sofer) as to why there is no music for the party, Lois realizes she forgot, and somehow, who does she call to the rescue? Spinelli (Bradford Anderson)! Saving the day, he winds up playing some tunes and later gets on the dance floor to ‘shake it off’ with the gals.
Photo: ABC
Lois makes a speech as the mother of the bride, and shares how proud she is of the woman Brook Lynn has become. Wedding games begin, including one of “hot potato” with a wedding bouquet.
When it’s time for the “Silly Poses” section of the party, Spinelli has now morphed from DJ to staff photographer taking memorable photos of the ladies to remember the evening by.
Photo: ABC
The best part of the event, was when Brook Lynn tries to get her grandmother Tracy out on the dance floor, which, at first, she refuses. After several of the guests bust a move, a tipsy Tracy joins the dance party after Joss mentions that if her grandmother Bobbie was here, she would dance. Tracy says “she agrees” and begins to cut a rug on the floor, much to the delight of the other women.
Photo: ABC
In the final moments, a tipsy Joss and Kristina (Kate Mansi) have a confrontation about Sonny, and Joss lets Kristina in more on Sonny’s behavior, which looks to have clued in Kristina a bit more as to how something is way off about her dad.
Photo: ABC
Across town at the Hatchett Bar, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and the men with the exception of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper), all attend Chase’s Bachelor Party where throwing hatchets into a dart board for supremacy is the order of the day. Drew (Cameron Mathison) and Ned (Wally Kurth) get into some words over ELQ, while Dante makes a toast to his police partner, Chase.
Photo: ABC
Suddenly Dex (Evan Hofer) shows up. Chase thanks Dex for coming, but Dex gets some dirty looks from other cops on the force. Dante gives Chase his present, which is a signed baseball by the Boston Red Sox.
Ned (Wally Kurth) makes a speech that although no one is good enough for his daughter, Brook Lynn, Chase has come closer than anyone has, so welcome to the family. Running in at the end is Blaze (Jacqueline Grace Lopez), who just left Brook Lynn’s party, and she toasts her singing partner, Chase, and to the great man that he is.
