Maxie character skills be 28. The article says nothing about teen, but he would fall in the Micheal age range. Also Lulu/Maxie group. But would need to be a bit matured

I think you are so dead on, Frank and Ron love hiring the next piece of eye candy instead of scouting authentic talent. I guess Nathan will be old news!!!!

Dillon Quartermaine

Ned’s brother, Tracy’s son, Jason’s cousins. Ex-husband of Maxie’s deceased sister, Georgie. Lulu aborted his child-HATED THAT S/L!! Lots of history here!! Worked for Ned’s record label. Always wanted to work in entertainment industry. Couldn’t hang in w/ELQ shenanigans. Wasn’t his speed from what I remember. I liked the character, didn’t like the HW, Guza during his stint!

Always loved Scott Clifton. Not familiar with Robert Palmer Watkins. He’s a cutie. Bring it on!!!!

Thanks Laurie ..
I don’t recall of him even being mentioned..
He sounds like a good comeback for the Q’s…
gotta check google and see how old he is..

Dillan isn’t gay plus the characters already know each other. So nay on a romance..

Your too young! Dillion was born in 1992, and is the son of Paul Hornsby and Tracy Quartermaine. Scott Clifton played him from 2003 to 2007. Lulu had a thing for him so maybe thats his angle or hers? Scott is not available but this recast shows promise.

AJ…we all occasionally deviate from the subject…most of us have that conversational rapport here whether someone reveals something personal about his or her life, talks about a prime time show, what career they’re in, etc. I specifically stated that the musician’s name came up because the first two of the new Dillon’s name is the same…so it hit me and I just thought to mention it. Albeit 12 years off…

Lol! I know, I corrected myself…see above! I have no idea how how I forgot that…and I could have sworn what I read today had today’s date. Dunno… I’m scaring myself… 😉

Tim…agreed! Thanks… 🙂

lolololol…brain freeze still in effect. that would be Timmm…not Tim. sigh….

I don’t mind a little sparring for control of ELQ. That’s what made DALLAS after all. But, IMO, it should eventually be Michael. That’s who Edward wanted. I think Michael & Sabrina should takeover where Edward & Lila left off.

Completely agree with you, Kansas Guest!

Crychael couldnt even run a Starbucks let alone ELQ! Bring on Dillion!

su0000, so your telling me if I wear glasses I’ll be smart? I am calling my optometrist ASAP!

Monica’s last episode was the “Krampus” Xmas episode—so many missed opportunities since then. Do you think Ned will be re-cast?

@ Charday, I doubt the show will recast the role of Ned.

Jeremy, great post! Your right, with Dillion being off the canvas for so long he can make the character his own. Not having Monica on is a sin! I ASSume we will see her when Jake becomes Jason? Just like Bobbi, we will see her more now that Luke is leaving the canvas.

I don’t know why anyone’s against Michael. He’s always been a great guy…loyal to his family, gave AJ a chance and came to love him even after all the horrific brainwashing he was subjected to by Sonny and Carly against AJ. Michael’s perfectly in his right to have disowned Sonny and Carly…and I think it’s great he’s finally in the Q fold. I’d like to see the irony…the victory… of AJ’s son taking the position at ELQ that AJ was robbed of. I also think lil Avery/ AJ is in great, loving safe hands with him…

What I meant is that Michael simply is not ready to run ELQ, like some
Lone Ranger,without the benefit of Tracy’s WISDOM and knowledge
backing him up and while we’re at it through Dillon in the mix. Now
that starts to make sense. However HORRIBLE some of Michael ‘s
past has been and it Has, Sonny and Carly have ALWAYS loved &
adored him.

Here, here, Fanny! Mikey has become insufferable and obnoxious…plus, he has shown highly questionable judgment involving himself with the likes of Sappy. Hence, he needs to be taken down a few pegs and Dillon being “Tracy’s Boy” could be just the one to do it. I’m actually glad that this pivotal role has been recast because I couldn’t stand Scott Clifton’s pudgy punk filmmaker with the hurricane-forced hairdo….he was just an off-putting mess. Also, couldn’t stand him with the “precious” Georgie….he was far better with Lulu—then played by the much superior Julie Marie Berman— but their ill-fated hookup and resulting pregnancy storyline was absolutely tragic.

@Shay
Whatever possessed Michael to HIRE not one but two former nurses to help
him out… One of them is bound to have a script pad laying around, watch UR back.
Questionable judgment indeed, he’s the one who is in dire need of Parental
GUIDANCE. The courts ruling was RIDICULOUS giving him custody of Avery
when she has a maternal grandmother perfectly capable of raising her.
He’s needs to stop juggling all these things at once, caring for Avery as if he’s
her sole living relative, Commencing a relationship with sappy Sabriiiiina
WHY now & WHY her there’s no magic,no spark… finally saving ELQ.
Boy does he need HELP.

@ Shay..I couldn’t agree with U more about Julie M Berman, if they Insist on
Keeping the current actress in the role of Lulu, Julie could play another
character, like maybe a federal agent taking Anna’s place in her absence
since Finola is taking the summer off… Hence she “MEETS” Dante and
a HOT STEAMY Love affair takes place…….

Anyone but VAL-chops!!!!!

@Fanny….I still maintain that it was a gross error in judgment not to cast the popular and ever-missed JMB as Val. The contrasting visuals of old and nuLulu alone would have made for great viewing. Plus, there would have been an existing built-in chemistry between the characters of Dante and Val, should the showrunners choose to go the infidelity route…which I am certainly hoping is NOT the case! For the life of me, I simply cannot understand the value of the actress selected to portray “Val-Chops.” She’s not very good and highly annoying, and if she is intended to play the Falconeri family homewrecker, then she will be absolutely despised. As for “Mikey,” I also cannot fathom why this young, green whippersnapper of a hapless half-wit is supposed to be the saving grace of the dwindling Quartermaine dynasty. He’s done nothing in his life to demonstrate his worthiness to be in charge of ELQ other than denouncing his “parents,” Sonny and Carly, and attempting to build some sort of social-do-gooding shrine to his late bio-dad, the lovable but luckless AJ. How does that translate into having the right stuff to run a multi-billion dollar corporation???? Especially when this clueless trust funder is more about playing Daddy to an unrelated infant and with said child’s glorified babysitter….it’s patently ridiculous, any way you slice it! (And, you’re spot on when you say there are no discernible sparks between Sappy and Mikey….it’s just another failed, contrived attempt to link that wet-blanket of a nitwit nanny to another wholly unsuitable male!)

@Shay…That would have been brilliant on their part, casting JMB as Val,
It would have been a match made in heaven. Obviously the writers don’t
READ these posts RC & FV should reconsider that oversight. It could
potentially increase their VIEWERSHIP!!!

@Fanny….As much as I have been bandying about the notion of JMB as “Val,” I cannot take credit for it. I previously read a spoiler that she was possibly headed back to GH in a new role described as a cousin of the present-day Lulu, and that idea really struck my fancy. Hence, when “Val-Chops” showed up and was clearly NOT Ms. Berman, I was quite disappointed! If the viewers were simply provided a rhyme or reason for the character and the particular actress cast in the role, it would be helpful toward accepting her. As it stands right now, it looks like just another whim on the part of the showrunners. Too often, they seem to choose someone they take a shine to, and then try to place them on the canvas accordingly. Needless to say, that is not a very effective means for ingratiating a new character to the public.

Fanny…Once again..Disagree.

Dillon, if they keep him true to character…has ZERO experience and ZERO interest in running ELQ.

Regarding Michael, Carly and Sonny…doesn’t mater how much they loved him. They STOLE him from AJ…they BRUTALIZED the man. They poisoned Michael against him. The point is…though he was raised in love, and I don’t deny that he was…he was lied to his whole life. He was kept from AJ who was his biological father…who WANTED a relationship with him.

Michael, as Sonny’s son, had to kill to protect his mother and sister, was shot and put in a coma, and went to jail and was raped. I’d say he has enough knowledge, wisdom and experience to realize Sonny’s home is not the ideal place for his baby sister. Nor, for that matter, is Ava’s. As much as I love Maura West…and Ava…she, too, is a murderer and involved in a life of crime.

Maternal grandmother? LOVE Delia. She’s a nut! She works in a bar. She’s a single woman. Best place for AJ/Avery? No.

Michael? He’s a young, healthy man. He’s wealthy…has the means to provide for her. A good, safe home. The Qs might have their “ways”…but it’s still a much healthier environment than any of the other choices.

Nurses? I’d say that was a wise choice in hiring…not a poor one. Sabrina is an excellent nurse…a very moral, maternal figure. Rosalie? At this point Michael has no idea she’s duplicitous.

I’m in Michael’s corner. All they way… That said, I look forward to the return of Dillon. And while I loved Scott Clifton…this actor might bring an edgier vibe to the role. All in all, great that they’re (hopefully) trying to rebuild the Qs in some way.

Oh, as for casting JMB as Valerie…I think it’s a ludicrous idea. Beyond distracting! JMB is sooo identified with the role of Lulu…there were so many fans clamoring for her return in the role (which by the way SHE decided to leave) that it’d almost be a parody. Would totally break the fourth wall…

@ Rebecca
With all due respect… AJ had never sprouted wings on my watch, far from
being angelic. Sonny,Carly,Monica,Alan,Jason,Edward….none of them were
responsible for him picking up a drink or ten, he became a raging, jealous
angry alcoholic all on his own. All that self hate spilled over dragging
JASON along with him… And all Jason wanted was to help AJ,whom he loved.
How about his connection/partnership w/ Faith Roscoe together they were evil
Incarnate. Given..Carly & Sonny were hellish towards him but AJ wasn’t a day
at the beach either. I’ve always really liked Michael he’s decent, fair and good.
I certainly don’t expect him to forgive everything that’s happened, but perhaps
entertain the possibility that his parents did what they did, as misguided as it
was…because they love him. Sabrina and Michael will be short lived..she won’t
hold his interest for very long, he’ll out grow her. I still believe Morgan will end
up being Avery’s dad solving that problem. As far as ELQ is concerned let’s
not rule Tracy & Son out completely, Luke is leaving town after all she’ll need
to occupy her time constructively.

And with respect back, Fanny…AJ was an alcoholic. He had a disease. He also showed remorse and was devastated by the accident that caused Jason’s brain damage. On the other hand, Carly and Sonny are just selfish, egotistical, self-righteous people that hurt people that they believe deserve it. There’s no disease to blame. Just their whim.

Sonny is a murderer. Pure and simple. His reason for taking Michael…so he claimed, was because Michael wouldn’t be safe around AJ. How beyond hypocritical is that? A mob boss…who has enemies that could wipe out his family on a dime, make his children a target…had the audacity to tell AJ…the BIO dad…that he wasn’t good enough, able enough, safe enough to be a father to his own son!

No, no one forced AJ into being an alcoholic. True. But addiction is out of one’s control…or at least a lifelong struggle to break free of. But no one forced Sonny into being a killer, Carly a selfish schemer who slept with her own mother’s husband…just one of her many destructive, hurtful acts. Let’s not forget the violence they perpetrated on AJ…from hanging him on a meat hook to dousing him with alcohol and leaving him in a huddled mess so that people would think he’d gone back to drinking.

“His ‘parents’ did what they did because they love him?” Sonny wasn’t his parent. He only became his adoptive father after he threatened AJ with his life if he didin’t sign over his rights. As proven by Michael’s life as I listed above, having to kill, go to jail and get raped is not any indication that he was better off a Corinthos.

AJ deserved to know his son…he deserved to raise his son and at the least have joint custody with Carly…even if he had to have supervised visits unless he got sober…and actually, I wonder how a judge granted custody to a known criminal like Sonny over AJ. As I also mentioned, they went one step further…the poisoned Michael against AJ. Not only did they denigrate him, they made him believe he didn’t even want him.

Michael is a good guy. A sensitive guy. Sabrina’s smart, also sensitive, compassionate…IF they keep her on the show I think they might do well together. I’m wondering if now that Carlos is out of the picture that Sabrina will follow. They haven’t allowed Sabrina to shine. She’s got all the right ingredients…pretty, smart, sweet, damaged, fragile, strong, moral, but she’s only been in the shadow of the men she’s loved. I like her…but if they don’t evolve her character she’ll be as dispensable as many think she already is. Who knows…maybe Dillon will have a thing for her and that’ll set up conflict between the two cousins.

I’m not worried about Tracy. I think they’ll find something for her to do. I just don’t see Dillon coming back to take over ELQ. We’ll soon see….

@Fanny….You bring up many excellent points! Although I was a huge fan of Sean Kanan’s AJ, you correctly pegged him as no angel….when he returned the final time to the GH canvas, I had hoped that his myriad demons and bad behavior were truly a part of the past. He had a fresh start in Port Charles, and I was most encouraged with it, but alas, the writers had other ideas for the hapless Quartermaine heir and it was back to square one with the boozing and bumbling….I was disappointed and outraged when the character was once again killed off (this time for good?….) but it is what it is….SK has moved on to better things, and so must those of us who had wished more for AJ. To see his petulant punk of a son carry on this childish vendetta against his parents, and especially using an innocent child to whom he has no blood ties to make his point is beyond pathetic. Mikey acts like he is taking the moral high ground, but his antics demonstrate nothing of the sort…he’s totally out of his league trying to play at the high-powered corporate level, and his silly schoolboy interest in Sappy—a failure of a nurse turned nanny-servant in his employ, no less—just goes to show what an immature young man he actually is. Nothing about his life is at all realistic, and he needs to be put in his place…first by his Q elders, as they wrest back control of their family firm, then by Avery’s true kin, when they reclaim the infant that he has no real right to be harboring. I am hoping you are correct in your theory that Morgan is indeed the authentic bio-dad of Ava’s daughter. When that possibility was first posited, the younger Corinthos was a willing prospective father, and along with Kiki, he cared for their little “sister” in a most loving and responsible fashion after she was rescued from the evil clutches of Nina…it wasn’t until Sonny stepped in to assume custody that all this musical baby bassinets nonsense began. It needs to stop….whether at the hands of “Denise,” or via some other surprise plot development….it matters none to me, as long as that little crumpet is permanently removed from ChezQuartermaine and the incapable and inappropriate care of Sappy and Mikey. (And speaking of Morgan, I was so hoping that he would have knocked his brother’s block off in that boxing ring today…..it’s about time he regains some dominance in their sibling rivalry. Soon, very soon, one hopes!) As for Tracy and son, I foresee them joining forces to restore the luster to the faded family’s fortunes….as you so correctly state, once Luke has departed, this former business dynamo will have plenty of energy to devote to her first real love….ELQ!

@Shay
Hear Hear!!!

@Shay… I meant Here! Here!
I also enjoyed Billy Warlocks AJ, big personality,good actor.
Little crumpet (that’s so sweeeeet).Love the way “Denise”
made Julian understand he didn’t step up, when it came to
keeping Avery in the family. Basically that should have been
his first priority, announcing it wasn’t going to continue on her
“Watch” gave her away. Just in case we didn’t already know it
by how she kept longingly looking in KiKi’s direction every now
& again. The 15 second June preview looks like fun…

@Fanny….I missed out on BW’s AJ….just wandered away from GH in favor of “Santa Barbara” after SK’s abrupt departure, but I do know that he was very good as “Ricky Flyer/Driscoll” on “Capitol.” That’s where I first encountered Mr. Warlock and his charms. As for “Denise,” I am loving the way she is “giving the business” to those around her (Julian, Sonny, etc….) in her no-nonsense, hilarious “New Yawker” way….it’s been a fun departure from the haughty Ava, but I have a feeling that the character will wear thin in short order, so I hope that the show runners have a plan for returning Ms. Jerome to her original form in the very near future. She is too integral a part of the adorable Avery’s saga to keep her out of the loop on a long-term basis. As for Kiki, I have been looking at her for awhile now, and trying to think of whom she reminds me….she possesses such a unique look. Finally, it hit me…and it was actually quite close to home: with those long blonde locks, tall build and wide facial structure, she could pass for Heather Webber’s progeny! Too bad they didn’t leave this character as Franco’s daughter, because she would have been immensely believable calling the “BLT Queen” herself “grandma,” especially given the strong similarity between HE and a young Robin Mattson! Then again, there are those of us (CeeCee and myself, included) who are wholly convinced that Kiki is yet to be revealed as the devil spawn of yet another choice lunatic on the GH canvas, the much-despised Nina!!!! Stay tuned!

Well…there’s no “here, here” here! Wholeheartedly disagree with the assessments…for those few who have dubbed Sabrina “Sappy” there will be no clear sight. She, for those who enjoy or at least understand the psyche of the character…is portrayed as moral, competent, intelligent and compassionate. For anyone who saw her as otherwise simply didn’t/doesn’t understand the character. One might not like the actress; I do. However, that aside…Sabrina never had ill intentions, she loved with an open heart, gave love to Patrick, was maternal with Emma and suffered great loss…from Patrick to her baby. Still, after an emotional breakdown, she has come back stronger, just as kind and protective of those she loves…and I think she’s a great nanny to lil AJ…and would be a great maternal figure as well.

Once again, Sabrina, described above as “a failure of a nurse turned nanny-servant in his employ” couldn’t be more off base. Sabrina was/is an excellent nurse. She’s knowledgable and compassionate. Unfortunately, life’s circumstances overwhelmed her and she lost her job. Doesn’t make her less capable.

Michael does not have a “childish vandetta” against his parents. He has a very valid reason to turn against them; I think most people who found out they’d been lied to their entire life, whose father was badgered, battered and finally killed by his adoptive father…and his mother not only kept the secret but put down his dead father at every turn…has a tad of a reason to be ticked off. And I say that with full sarcasm…he has EVERY reason.

As for Michael not being related to Avery/AJ…I think that’s an insult to anyone adopted. He’s her big brother. Period.

Instead of seeing Michael as weak or immature, I think he’s portrayed as a remarkable guy who’s been put through a lot of trauma in his life…and yet has maintained his morality, his loving, kind nature…and is finally becoming a man in his own right by asserting his independence from Sonny and Carly, trying to give the Qs…a family he was taken from a chance…and trying earnestly to learn all he can about running a company. Let’s not forget before Wally Kurth/Ned was given a contract…he was assisting Michael along the way.

Michael’s great. I hope they evolve his character to be a strong, good man…and perhaps find his way back to Jason. As for Sabrina…I’m not sure of her future on the show. But I’ll always think of this character as one of the “good guys.” LOL…IF she stays, I hope they evolve her, too. The show needs balance. They need to find her some girlfriends, a strong relationship…but keep her in the same realm as Lila, Laura, Emily…she was written as such.

Agree! Hate it…
