Dylan was starting to grow on me….I certainly appreciated his relentlessness in finding out what the deal was with Adam’s death. But, I will always remember him as instant robocop.
Now, considering that Morgan Corinthos just got blown up, thanks to his own Daddy, he will spend months in hospital, all bandaged up.
Voila’…..Morgan will wake from his coma with Steve Burton’s face?? Just teasing!!!!

I will be happy as well. He plays the dumbest, clueless, husband and cop. Dumbest story lines .

Celia, me too. Dylan is a good guy–perhaps this is a case where the good guy finishes last.
He sure went into full protective defense mode just from a couple of hang up phone calls. I would hate to see what he would have done if someone called up and asked him if his refrigerator were running or something. He’d call in a SWAT I am sure.

Actually…SB was in GH…all totaled 21 years.

Bravo to both Dylans! What a great post, Dylan. I totally agree with every point you asserted so well here. They keep putting Dylan in these terrible situations in which the woman with whom he is involved blatantly lies to him. He’s a police detective but cannot see that Sharon’s eye popping, erratic behavior equals smoke leading to the fire. This makes Dylan look like a fool. And as I said before, Burton is an understated actor which sometimes leads folks to thinking he’s not that strong of an actor. But he is. You ask anyone who has studied acting… Read more »

I meant 16 years from the time the character was transformed into a blood thirsty vicious murderer for hire.

I agree, even the stars Joshua Morrow and Sharon Case say it’s time to get Nick and Sharon back together. They kept saying, individually, ‘it’s not time yet.’ It’s never been, ‘never’, but always, ‘yet.’ I know they have to go through a lot to get back to them being together, but if Nikki and Victor can get back together I KNOW that Nick and Sharon will have their time in the sun. Sage, or Paprika or whatever her name was and Dylan were in the way. They both need pairings that give them fire. Sharon and Brad were hot,… Read more »

Hi Dylan…ya, I was thinking maybe that’s what you meant after I hit reply…though I actually didn’t know it was 16 out of the 21. Interesting…thanks!

Beautiful post, Dylan. You bring essential points to the fore, such as the lack of vision it is to keep a character closeted within a two by four space…..no personality, no incentive, no evolvement. I actually thought that Dylan’s dogged interest of delving into Adam’s death held a lot of promised. Oh, well, right? As far as Sharon and Nick rekindling their love? Well, I have been chanting this for so long, I have lost hope. Now, with a free Chelsea ( ugh) back on ‘the market’, it would not surprise me if the rein-holders go that direction. Y&R has… Read more »

Yur comment was so well said and i agree with every word. Its time for Sharon and nick to get back together so they can raise sully with Sharon together.
This superouple deserves some kind of “happy ending”.
As an actor he is a very specific type and the writing of the character never played to ho his strengths and to have written

I love anybody Steve Burton plays! As for Nick and Sharon, she doesn’t deserve anyone!! She needs to be by herself. Besides, is Nick really going to want her after the truth comes out about Sully. No one will!

You know, I used to ADORE Steve Burton. I even understood that after 22 years of playing the same character day in and day out (then luckily he got to change his character after his onscreen accident) that he wanted to leave. Not a problem – a guy has to change every once in a while. I’m sure that got boring for him after a while. But then a few short months later, he shows up on Y&R after telling his fans that he was moving to TN with his family. No matter if he thought he’d explain it all… Read more »

Finally, a positive response. Burton is damn talented and he has left both GH and Y&R as a true class act without disparaging anyone. To me, he was the ultimate “Stone Cold” and he was well adept at displaying a deeply conflicted character. I always thought that Burton was so good that he made it look easy. I never bought Miller as Jason Morgan. I do think he would have made an excellent Dillon Q. I also felt the actor currently playing Trevor would have made a great Dillon while Jason Thompson deserved a role written just for him. It… Read more »

HARRY…………….VERY WELL SAID…I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU…….

A recycled storyline! On a soap? Never!!!! 😉 I’m teasing you but it sorta does happen…and…I was kinda teasing with my suggestion about the two Jason’s but I wouldn’t be surprised if they went there…particularly because many have said they don’t buy Billy as Jason and preferred him as Jake. Who knows? Maybe “Jake” will reemerge, realize he’s in love with Elizabeth…she dumps Franco…

Or maybe Steve Burton comes back as Jadon’s long, lost twin!!!

Or really, maybe SB doesn’t want to do a daytime soap.

We shall see….

That is what Jean and Shelley do best, recycle stories, they couldn’t write a story like that anyway, they need Ron for that.

Rebecca, didn’t Burton co write a song with Jonathan Jackson which was used in Nashville? Do you think he might make an appearance on Nashville?
The reason I am asking you is I know you’re a fan of this series.

I hope they don’t put Billy Miller back with Liz.I was fast forwarding their scences.

I believe they did write a song together Harry.but I am not sure if it will be used on the show of Nashville.maybe he will get Port Chuck back together.

Harry…that I don’t know. As you probably know JJ, Steve Burton, Scott Reeves, Bradford Anderson and Brandon Barash formed a band, Port Chuck, and play out quite a bit. Think they still do…not sure. So there probably was collaboration on originals. You might also know that SB, JJ and Reeves all live in Nashville…Reeves is occasionally on as a manager. And, JJ and Steve Burton opened a restaurant together in Nashville. As far as appearing on the show, who knows now that it’s going to be broadcast on CMT and they’ve made some pluses and minuses. I’m not thrilled with… Read more »

Harry…one correction, one clarification. JJ isn’t part of Port Chuck…has his own band. So now I really don’t know the answer to your question. As far as I know Port Chuck still schedules shows.

Scott Reeves plays a manager on “Nashville”… I didn’t make that clear.

Rebecca, about a year or so ago, Jonathan Jackson and Steve Burton co wrote a song together. It was uploaded on Youtube. I do recall it being played on Nashville. That is to what I was referring. I wish I could post links here.

I agree Sherry…I don’t think it’s going to happen but I would have loved Sean Kanan back.

I met Sean Kanan.what a down to earth man…does any one know if he is still on B&B?

Aha, Jimmy. I did not miss that!!!! Clever, Jimmy, clever. Jason is really AJ.

Well I bet FV’s phone is ringing off the wall from Maurice bring my soulmate back. Lol

if any one plays AJ Quartermaine I want Sean Kanan back.

Rebecca, thank you. I do recall Jonathan Jackson playing and singing that song at the end of a Nashville episode.
Maybe Burton is leaving Y&R on a positive note and not leaving because he’s disgruntled.
It does happen and I hope this is the case here.

Thanks Omar.

Now that you mention it Celia and Bec, her jawline does look a little tigher?
Whatever she had done, it was pretty subtle and she still looks like her fabulously beautiful self.

And one goes back to work for Sonny and the other joins the Quartermaine business…possibilities are endless…

Not me. And I always adored Billy Miller.

Hi, Carla,
I am not familiar with Steve’s Jason; but, I can bet Harry is right; only because Billy Miller does not fit the role of Jason Morgan, for me. I speak for myself.
Had I not been a Billy Miller fan, as Billy Abbott, then, perhaps, I would feel differently.
Now, the other side of the coin is that I never liked Steve’s characterization of Dylan. Not that this means anything, in the grand scheme of things; but, it’s my two-cents worth.

I believe Burton is going to leave Y&R with a bang. While the writing has greatly improved on Y&R, the writing for Dylan has sustained its level of mediocrity.
Burton is well adept at playing the grief -angst ridden man, and when he finds out that Sully isn’t his and Sharon has been lying to him about it for quite some time. he’s going to show viewers who only know him from Y&R just what he can do.
I do believe he will exit Y&R after delivering a graceful swan song.

No offense but everyone acts like SB is broke he is anything but and his character was catered to the entire time he was on Y&R he is leaving because Pratt and JFP are not there anymore to keep shoving him down our throats. I don’t know if he is a good guy or not I don’t care he never did it for me maybe if he had been brought on slowly maybe then yes he was very good as Jason he was Stone Cold!

Steve lives in Nashville along with Jonathan Jackson and Scott Reeves. Steve and JJ opened up a restaurant in Nashville. Maybe SB wants to put time into that and his music…all home-based.

Wow Harry! I just finished episode 1. Not sure if I like it yet but the show has sone amazing actors..Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris! Steve’s Stone Cold might fit in…they could have a soap opera scenario set in the old west…Stone Cold being the ultimate cowboy out for revenge/justice…then we’d have to add Ava, Sonny, Paul, Julian…the visitors who want them to pay for their evil ways could shoot em dead..or have Cowboy Stone Cold go find AJ, Connie, Carlos, Duke and have them exact their revenge!!! Helena could be the Madame at the saloon…that’s it! The new genre…interactive soaps….is… Read more »

Bec, I had to watch Westworld two times in order to completely understand what was transpiring. I thought the infusion of Shakespeare and John Donne was done gracefully and seamlessly bringing forth the elevating concept of the Dystopian universe. Surely, Delores is Miranda to Pa’s Prospero from “The Tempest.” Brave New World Indeed! Did you not get chills when Pa told his daughter “Hell is empty, all the devils are here”? I love the concept of the dualistic nature (good vs bad) which exists in all of us and that heaven and hell are makings of our own creation. Oh… Read more »

I’m hooked Harry! It’s like going inside that world with the newcomers. Talk about escapism albeit…dark escapism..but graphically stunning and alluring. On the one hand the outcome probably leads to humanity within the AI and the lesser humanity in humans…war of the worlds…rebellion…probably crossover alliances where good vs evil might evolve with AI just like in man. And yes..it’s very literary. The one thing that bothers me is that none of the reviews have mentioned “Extant” produced by Spielberg for TV starring Halle Berry. Ran in 2014 I believe…two seasons..and though very different on a lot of levels it centered… Read more »

I really take the time to watch all scenes with Billy Miller and Maurice Benard

“respectively” as Jason and Sonny

I’m just not buying it….

I think MB’ Sonny goes over the top on his steely gaze and or look

I think BM’ Jason has a hard time focusing… and is ready to bust out laughing

this mix of past wonders… is out

I do not see any type of connection , bonding, or friendship

I know what you mean Patrick but I think the lack of connection is because they barely have any scenes together…nor does Carly and Jason. In an effort to keep him away from Sonny’s business the writers haven’t given Jason any direction. Just as it seems he’s getting love back for his mother, Monica…they cut away instead of bringing him back to the Quartermaine’s…and not just in name only. So he’s not Sonny’s enforcer, but he’s not too connected to the Q’s. Ther’s a disconnect in the whole picture.

Sorry Lou, Billy Miller as Jason is a sleeper!

I completely agree Lou – BM is doing a wonderful job as Jason Morgan.

BINGO!

Well, Celia, at least we got to see how good Burton looks in color.

awh shucks… I didn’t think about Paul…. that’s going to be the travesty

I been a fan of GH for 33 years and this is how I feel.Steve Burton wanted to leave Gh.so since he wanted to leave he can stay gone…I really don’t miss him at all.his and Sam’s scenes were forced and you can tell they were..Sam has better chemistry with Billy Miller..

it’s so lame right… aside from seeing BM’ Jason… kissy kissy with Sam and waiting for Sonny… to “help” him out… “even tho he’s not in the mob” Jason offers his help… so as to keep Sonny name out of whatever transpires I don’t know… if William DeVry’ Julian is going to take the bullet… at last… which would not be my choice… WD’ Julian is a solid actor… the writers wrote in to a corner… shame… any way… back to possible story… is Morgan going ballistic and attempt to get rid of Julian ? I’d much rather see his… Read more »

GH simply has got to turn Billy Miller… as in get this actor better material… how difficult can it be… he has the best chemistry with Monica and Tracy.

that part is DONE… READY and sealed … waiting for writing… Quartermainia
time

get him in another accident with Morgan and Julian… and Jason recalls HIS family and WANTS to be with them. dang! makes me tear up

it’s not a giant leap .. to see him back with the Q and working at the hospital.

BAM

done deal

Some fans are suggesting that Miller becomes AJ and Burton comes back as Jason with his memories intact. I think that ship has sailed and cannot fathom how they would make that work

I agree. As for the role of Carly, that was a tough one because Sarah Brown was so amazing; she was a hard act to follow. I think Jennifer Bransford was next and she couldn’t have been more wrong for the role…they caught that pretty quick…I don’t think she lasted more than a few weeks. And then Tamara Braun came on and she knocked it out of the park! Though much more like a model body-wise her face was a bit similar to Sarah’s and for me Sarah to Tamara was excellent! Loved her. When Laura came on the difference… Read more »

Ooh! Wait! I only partially agree…just reread what you wrote Mika. I originally agreed with you regarding Billy Miller as Jason. I like him now…LOL..but I honestly don’t know who I see him as…Jake? Jason? They are so completely different in temperament and they haven’t solidified the version as either an “enforcer” or a Quartermaine. He still has no identity for the viewer as he never interacts with anyone but Sam. They haven’t shown, onscreen, the close relationship he has with Michael, Spinelli isn’t around so that friendship is gone..he and Carly are barely in scenes together… My point is… Read more »

I agree, Carla. Jason is making this role his own,

He will never be Billy to me! He’s talented but is not Billy Abbott.

I’m afraid I respectfully and completely disagree. He took the “lovable rogue” of Billy and turned him into a smug, stalkerish creeper. I don’t even recognize that character anymore.

Billy cracks me up the way he’s always saying with sarcasm,”Everybody LOVES Travis.” He can be funny.

Jason Thompson’s acting cannot be disputed. One of the best. Regardless of his multi-faceted craft, though; he’s yet to capture Billy Abbott’s essence. No way, no how, with all do respect.
It’s interesting to see how split we are on this subject. LOL.

Due, not do.
Clh…..I hope I have not come off as cocky….not my intention, LOL.
I, sometimes, get carried away with certain roles, passionately. I suppose, good examples, for me, are Billy Miller and Michelle Stafford.
I am not saying my feelings are fair, they are not. I am first to admit that. But, I am human with faults; and as such, I do compare and I am partial to certain actors.
Nonetheless, as I always say: it is what it is. I am thankful these shows are still being aired.

That’s exactly what happened Kay and Sally are going to put life back into this show and hopefully fix the damage that has been done to Sharon and Ashley both ladies deserve better than they have gotten .

Kay, I know, right? Ashley has no love life and is forced to constantly butt into her brothers’ love life like some Spinster Aunt. And Sharon? I have to give it up to Sharon Case for constantly managing to rise above the crap which has been hurled upon her. I think she is vastly underrated actress. Right know you can feel Sharon’s level of anxiety rising as Patty closes in. The look of steadfast determination on her face when she told Mariah, “I am prepared to do anything Patty wants to keep Sully and Dylan.” was so strong it was… Read more »

Y and R has wrecked many characters. I am afraid Dylan will leave town and of course Sharon will get the entire blame. I am sure many will like that but I wont….I wonder what GH does now…Get Burton back and fire Miller then he goes back to Y and R? LOL

@Vicki.
Hey, Vicki,
You said it, my friend. I NEVER considered Chelsea ‘good’; just redeemed. She has a looong list of misdeeds. As I call her–guttersnipe.
But, we shall see. I sort of forgive Sharon because I have never believed she was ‘cured’.
She just isn’t right in the head; otherwise she would have never kept Christian from Nick. Deep down she still loves him. They belong together. Ahhh….dream on, right?

@Vicki.
I forgot to add that Chelsea did pull ‘a Sharon’!! LOL. She tried to pass Connor off as Dylan’s.
Poor Dylan….second time around for him.

@Patrick.
Hi, Patrick,
This is my second attempt replying to your Sonny and Jason comment.
I don’t buy it, either.
Sanctimonious Sonny bad-mouths Julian for his same crimes.
His “stand-down” order did not work.
He blew up Julian’s car with Morgan in it. Poor Morgan.
Here is the proverbial example of, “The sins of the father…..”. Cliche’ much?!

Samdy…YOU’RE RIGHT!!!!! We don’t need that woman on DOOL…or on B&B. AT ALL!!!!! Nope.

Have a good one, Samdy.

Hi, SZima,
Good thought. I wonder, though….would the baby automatically go to Chelsea? There is no bloodline there. And, Adam is presumed dead…..
Unless Adam left a written document to the effect of giving custody to Chelsea, I doubt it would be that easy.
But, that would mean Adam was aware of the ‘switch’.
I don’t know….maybe, Christian would go to a blood relative. Also, we must remember that Christian was born within Sage’s and Nick’s marriage; which makes him, legally, Christian’s father.
You really tweaked my interest, SZima. It should make for a very compelling storyline, that!!

Lets see if St Chelsea will tell what she knows….If she doesn’t she is NO better than Sharon…Sorry she isn’t…

To quote Family Feud, good answer, good answer. I wanted Traci back for along time now. I did like Dylan in the beginning when he was with Avery, but after that, he was left floundering. I really wish it was Stitch that was leaving. Maybe we can have a two for one sale!!!

Thanks for your concern. I am about 2hrs from St. Augustine.
I hope all is well with her.

Thanks Rebecca, things are finally getting back to normal.

Yeah, Nanci. I liked Dylan with Avery, much more than with Sharon…..such a screwed-up storyline, afterwards. What happened? I can’t even recall??

Hi Celia,
If I remember right, Dylan got upset when he thought
Avery was hanging around Joe too much, and then
he started hanging around needy Sharon, always
running to her rescue. Yuk. That drove a further wedge
between Avery and Dylan…then suddenly Dylan decided
he was in love with Sharon. Blech, lol. So stupid!

Thanks, Nanci. I shouldn’t have these memory lapses. LOL.
I have said this over and over. Do domething about Sharon, once and for all!!!! She vacillates all over the place. Bring back the real Sharon.
The actress has taken so many punches–from all sides– what a soldier!!
The sad part of all this travesty is, also, Mariah’s embroilment in Sharon’s lie upon lie. What mother does that?
Is Mariah going to pay the piper alongside Sharon? Nasty, nasty imbroglio.

Lol, Celia. It was a long time ago, so not really a true memory lapse!
And yep, something has to be done about Sharon, jeez. She is a terrible
mom to Mariah lately, involving her this way, and just being so ridiculously
in need of a man all the time, too. She is so selfish and self-centered, letting
fears keep her from doing the right thing. I really dislike her!
Yes, Sharon Case is a trooper…and bring back old Sharon FINALLY. For
all our sakes!

Love this idea!! Perfect!
