Jason is Coming Back

IT IS FINALLY BEEN CONFIRMED AFTER MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH DENIALS- JASON IS RETURNING AND HE WILL BE RE-CAST!

Billy Miller, Billy on the Young & the Restless, will be portraying Jason Morgan. I became somewhat hooked on Y&R and I didn't really like Billy all that much. His character was immature and annoying at times. Can the actor pull off being Sonny's mob hit man? Well, we will see. I love Michelle Stafford (formerly Phyllis on Y&R) as Nina. Now SHE can act. The re-cast of Lulu with former Y&R's "Abby" has ruined the character for me. I also enjoy Steve Burton on Y&R as Dylan. I do miss him as Jason but it is nice to see him play a character with more range.

How do you feel about Jason being re-cast?

General Hospital is doing things the "old" GH would NEVER have done. I mean, who would have ever thought with the Quartermaine family dwindling that they would actually kill A.J.?

From the moment Sean Kanaan returned to the role his storyline was a joke. What a waste of talent. So when he went to the producers and asked to be let go, they chose to kill him off.

Although I like some of the changes at GH, I have to say that I am on the fence about the whole "Fluke" storyline. We will see where it goes but it seems it has been dragged out way too long.

Now Jason returning to find Sam has moved on and possibly with Patrick of all people? Again, we will see.

So what do you think of this re-cast?
