[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 315200, member: 27"] Kelly Monaco plays Sam as if she (Kelly) is bored and doesn't really want to be there. If Kelly has some sort of condition that causes her to be tired or listless, then I would understand, but they haven't said her behavior is the result of some illness. It's not that I am loving Lindsay Hartley's portrayal---it just looks so much better in comparison. I don't think the show really needs the Sam character these days, no matter who is playing her. I never found Bryan Craig/Morgan all that engaging, and his attempts at playing the backstage politics of GH to his advantage made him look even less appealing to me when he was on the show. The way they wrote Adult Morgan (and I use that adjective loosely) gave him a shorter shelf life; if they were to decide to make him our 730th return from the dead this year, they should recast the part as well, hopefully making Morgan into a fully-realized adult rather than a hot-headed man-child. Back when he got blown to bits I suggested they bring him back after a few years being played as bitter and hardened by the experience, played by an actor with a missing leg or arm as a constant reminder of his experience. Too often all the gunplay and mob activity leaves no lasting marks on them, but having a son with a disability (a son who [I]hates Sonny's guts[/I]) would keep the side effects of Sonny's choices in life right there in his face. But back then (and I would say even now) they won't tolerate a character onscreen who would be a constant reality check against the idea that Sonny is the "Good" Mobster and everyone else who opposes his lifestyle are bad. I'd never say never to the show giving Tyler Christopher yet another chance.....but it would be about as unlikely than Ingo Rademacher coming back, in my opinion. The only likely scenario I could imagine would be Marcus Coloma deciding to quit on his own, and perhaps some higher-up than Frank Valentini orders him to hire TC back as some sort of ratings stunt. I'm currently sitting here watching Sonny and Carly have a throwdown argument after Carly caught Sonny and Nina [I]en flagrante dilecto.[/I] And Sonny just threw Jason up in her face! (Well, not the flattened body of Steve Burton, but the idea that Carly has been "pining" for the memory of the man Carly was about to sleep with when Sonny returned from Nixon Falls). About damn time he brought that up. [/QUOTE]
