John Stamos Inspired 80’s Soap Drama Being Developed By Amazon!

If this is the way we have to “get back” the classic soaps, with this behind-the-scenes edge…why not? However, there’s nothing like the original classic soaps! Good for Stamos!
I love John Stamos. Every time someone in PC goes to prison, I wonder if they ever meet up with Blackie Parrish.
Or Steven Lars Webber or Matt Hunter.
Have to really see it to make a truthful comment…
odd
I’m surprised Stamos doesn’t want to play the 18 year old version of himself! LOL. This sounds mildly interesting, but only if they get into what REALLY went down, not just a bunch of Hollywood cliches about what people think happened. Those are very superficial. I think anything that keeps the soap format viable and in the news, why not go for it?
Okay, now he wants to use his “GH” experience to get viewers. Where was he for the “GH 50th” anniversary? He was on a talk show and claimed he had a scheduling conflict. I don’t buy it. It almost felt to me that he was a “little” embarrassed to admit that he came from a soap. GH was turning 50 that year and they got a lot of advertisement from ABC TV. He had all year to squeeze in a 60 second cameo. That’s all, not a lot. He didn’t need a whole storyline. Just a brief appearance would have… Read more »
I agree, Sly. Everything has a dollar sign.
I loved Blackie in my younger years, but none of us can go back to what once was.
Good luck.
Frank Valentini is not one to welcome back old GH vets. He has his own agenda trying to get his buddies from OLTL on GH. Have you seen GH lately? Half of the scenes involve his friends or characters he created and gets paid more from!
Here are the veteran characters that Frank has welcomed back and employs (with various degrees of screentime):
Laura
Anna
Bobbie
Scott
Lucy
Kevin
Felicia
Lucas
+ increased airtime for Monica
Stein wasn’t the creator of DAMAGES but this show could work if he pursues that show’s twisty, dark storytelling punctuated with scenes from the soap that mirror the real lives of the actors. If it just makes a joke of the soaps then I’ll pass.
John Stamos didn’t want a 60 second cameo, he wanted a storyline.
Blackie was such a minor character in the annals of GH history. Bobbie and Scotty are the only ones that might remember him. His main connections, Rick Webber and Amy Vining are long gone. A cameo and a song would have been appropriate.
I would have loved a Jackie Templeton appearance, but that wasn’t going to happen
I agree, a cameo would have been more than enough.
He was buddies with Luke to.
It’s true. While I would’ve loved to see him play drums with Frisco singing for nostalgia, there isn’t much more to explore with his character. Jack Wagner became a much bigger star than him on the show and had a SuperCouple pairing, fleshed out character.
You didn’t see Rick Springfield demanding that he be given a storyline. He just came on, sang his song and caroused at the Ball.
It’ll be hard to convince this classic GH fan to seriously consider watching his project. I’ll happily wait for Kimberly to release hers whenever that is.
Blackie is the ONLY GH character to be sentenced to prison for 30 years and serve the whole 30! I imagine if he slit his wife’s throat and mutilated her friend who was only returning a pair of glasses to her he would have never gone to jail! Sometimes soaps ARE better than real life!
HILARIOUS. The more you know…cue rainbow. LOL.
this bothers me – John Stamos – is, not – a staple of; nor is he a veteran and regarded for
if he doesn’t hire actors from this genre. I will not care
he’s Mr. full house and beats the drums – WOW
is that enough?
