Subject: What has that got to do with writers totally re-writing a beloved character? Sorry, but i think TF ought to object to this crapola because it makes a lie of the last 26 years. A little respect for his character would be good, both from Guza and from TG. GHFan

Subject: I agree with GHFan. Acting isn't an assembly line job, or anyone could do it. There is a creative element. Acting isn't just about simply collecting a paycheck, TG was looking for a job when he found the one on GH. There are other acting TG could get-why would he or any actor stay at a place with no creative inspiration? -lj

Subject: lj: TG suffered from the same problem many actors do who become identified with ONE character. Casting directors & producers saw him only as Luke Spencer. They didn't think that the audience would see him as anyone else. He didn't do a lot of work during his time away from GH. He came back to GH for the same reason lots of actors come back to soaps, for a regular paycheck. He was fortunate enough to be able to make a deal that allows him to live part of the year in Amsterdam & travel through Europe. TG knows that the truly creative aspect of doing soaps is pretty much over. If he had come to GH today, Luke would have been what he was originally intended to be, a passing character. He wouldn't have stayed because TPTB would have had everything mapped out in a rigid way that wouldn't have allowed Luke to be anything BUT a cartoon character. eom
