[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 288649, member: 27"] He's Sir John Gielgud compared to Wes Ramsey. Actually no, I have to amend that. Wes Ramsey was actually very good in the film [I]Latter Days, [/I]and was likeable enough on [I]Guiding Light[/I] as Sam Spencer, though Sam was never a very "deep dig" acting challenge. He's just terrible as Peter, and I can't help but think the character would have been recast years ago if Ramsey wasn't the boyfriend of Laura Wright. GH's casting team is usually so good at matching an actor to a role, but in this case there is some kind of blind spot and a continuing unwillingness to acknowledge the problem, something often seen when "friends" are involved. Tristan Rogers, in a sort of back-handed compliment, wrote on Twitter that Ramsey was too nice a person to do the evil character justice. Ramsey wrote something in an indirect response about "being a classically-trained actor, I can play anything" and from that point on, Rogers has not been seen onscreen and Robert Scorpio hasn't even been mentioned by other characters. One can't help but surmise that Rogers is in the time-out box for insulting Ramsey, yet Rogers has been an icon of GH history for over thirty years. [/QUOTE]
