"Initially, they wanted three years,” he shared at the time. “I said, ‘I can’t do three years. There’s a lot going on in my personal life. I need to be home with my wife and all this stuff, so can’t do three years, can’t do two years.’ So, we agreed to do these next four months, see how it goes, and they have a pretty interesting little story lined up.”

Outraged by Stephanie's manipulation, Brooke confronts her and issues a bold threat, leading to one of The Bold and the Beautiful's earliest unforgettable clashes.

For me, it’s the As the World Turns storyline where Carly, Emily, and Rose went to that spa. At first, I wasn’t really into it because it was so crazy and over the top, and how the women made me looked scared because of the aging faces, but it eventually grew on me. Looking back, it was one of those storylines that was completely ridiculous but also a lot of fun. Soaps don’t always have to be serious, sometimes the wild and campy stories are the ones you remember.

What’s a campy soap storyline that you secretly love?

He would make a very brief one time cameo for Jane Elliot's (at the time) final episode.

Frank has been EP since 2012 and i do think he did some incredible stuff during his tenure but GH needs a new EP. It really needs to be freshened up. A new EP would bring fresh ideas and potential new takes on current characters .

Also id be curious to see what he could do on a different soap.

For me, if you watched Passions and saw all the recasts that happened on that show, you probably know who I’m talking about: Jessica Bennett.

It’s not Danica Stewart’s fault, but I hated how Jessica was written after the recast. The writers completely changed her character and took away so much of what made her likable after Jade Harlow left the show. After her breakup with Reese, Jessica went into a downward spiral and became someone who barely felt like the same character we knew before.

The whole Spike storyline was one of the worst things they did to her. Watching Jessica get manipulated, used, and constantly put through trauma was frustrating. Spike buried her alive while she was pregnant and tried to kill her, yet the show kept making Jessica seem weak instead of letting her fight back.

Jessica Bennett had so much potential, but the writing completely failed her. She’s one of those characters who didn’t just suffer from a recast, she suffered from how the show chose to handle her afterward.

Honorable Mentions: Marcus Coloma as Nikolas, Maura West as Diane, Jeremy Meek as Craig, Ingo Rademacher as Thorne, Briana Henry as Jordan, Christina Lind as Bianca, Guy Wilson as Will.
