I read an interview with Burton (Jason), where he gives some hints about a legacy character recast. It is clear that Jason will have scenes with him, and the character comes from prime time programs.

Social media feel Jax is the most likely recast. Followed by Nic.
Most of the past couple days covered Justine and Trina making Brook Lynn
feel guilty about her failure to disclose her role in the accident.
JustineAs speech and disdainful looks might have hit harder if she werenAt having a secret affair with Sonny. Victimless? We will see.
TrinaAs angry words were equally hard for me to swallow, consider
everything she and Kai let spin out of control by failing to disclose their presence during DrewAs shooting.
As far as BrennanAs shooting, looks like Nina will be the wrong suspect for
a while. AvaAs trying to convince Nina to forget Brennan was a great
scene. Her failure to disclose made an interesting contrast to the
failures of Trina and Brook. Will be interesting to see how Ava will
handle it when her BFF Nina is arrested, since she is one of two people who know Nina is innocent.

Social media feel Jax is the most likely recast. Followed by Nic.
Time will tell. The writers sort of dismissed the Jax character from participation in the current story when they sent him off on a solo
sailing trip around the world without a communications device. But I
guess they might have changed their minds. If it's Nik...? Would they
bring him back while his mama is on vacation? I guess they might do, but
ugh, I hope not. We have quite enough Cassadines at the moment, thank
you, and don't need another. But if they must bring Nik back, then I
would welcome a recast, and hope he's a keeper, whoever he is. None of
the previous four worked for me at all. (Were there four? I count four,
but I think there were a few temps too, tho I can't bring any of them to mind.)
Most of the past couple days covered Justine and Trina making Brook Lynn
feel guilty about her failure to disclose her role in the accident.
Trina went beyond just a "failure to report" grievance. She has an
emotional need to hang on to the belief that Brook Lynn saw the accident
and left Jordan and Curtis to die. I guess it justifies her anger and
her refusal to forgive.
JustinerCOs speech and disdainful looks might have hit harder if she werenrCOt
having a secret affair with Sonny. Victimless? We will see.
Even if she weren't having an affair with Sonny, she still would have
had no business voicing a personal opinion during a meeting intended to resolve a legal issue. Very unprofessional and downright tacky behavior.
TrinarCOs angry words were equally hard for me to swallow, consider
everything she and Kai let spin out of control by failing to disclose their >> presence during DrewrCOs shooting.
Maybe someone will point that out to her eventually. Maybe it will be
Kai. But whoever does it should wait until she's come down from her high horse (something she inherited from judgy Curtis) to avoid having her
wrath turned on them, too. She's all self-righteousness and hot spit
right now, and doesn't believe for one minute that Brook Lynn didn't see Jordan and Curtis run off the road. Not for one minute! Her words. So I
guess her conviction in that belief is based on...what? An investigative recreation of the accident? Rearview line of sight measurements from the exact location where BLQ regained control of her car? No? Hmm.
As far as BrennanrCOs shooting, looks like Nina will be the wrong suspect for
a while. AvarCOs trying to convince Nina to forget Brennan was a great
scene. Her failure to disclose made an interesting contrast to the
failures of Trina and Brook. Will be interesting to see how Ava will
handle it when her BFF Nina is arrested, since she is one of two people who >> know Nina is innocent.
I can't see mercenary Ava confessing to crimes just to keep Nina out of prison. Maybe Charlotte's bracelet will end up exonerating Nina somehow.
If Nina's case goes to trial, the bracelet might give the jury
reasonable doubt to return a not guilty verdict. But secrets don't stay secrets long on GH, and Nina is sure to find out how Ava really picked
up her little six-legged hitchhiker, so expect fireworks. That's not a prediction--it's happened before, and more than once.

I vote that Jax return to the screen, even with a re-cast. There could
be some interesting interactions with the current plot-lines involving
Jax's character.
I'd also like Spencer to return, again even with a recast. Honestly, I thought we'd see Spencer long before now. The triangle with Trina and
Kai could be classic.>
It really does seem like Trina is channeling Curtis. Choosing to believe that Brook Lyn saw the accident without any actual reason to, just like Curtis did with Isaiah, and being so judgemental about Brook Lyn's
silence, when she and Kai did essentially the same thing for a similar reason, not wanting to get in trouble for trespassing/burglary in Drew's house.
Trina and Kai's silence is even worse in a way. It allowed Willow to get away with attempted murder, which had already happened. Brook Lyn
keeping quiet led to an assault in the future, not even close to murder.
Not that Brook Lyn's behaviors were not reprehensible. Once aware that Curtis incorrectly had zeroed in on Isaiah, Brook Lyn absolutely and immediately should have come forward. It might have avoided a lot of heartache. Although there's no guarantee Curtis would not have found
some other reason to assault Isaiah, especially given Isaiah's tendency
to bait Curtis.

It does seem likely that Nina will be in a load of trouble based upon
one unfortunate public argument with Brennan. Keeping in mind that the
WSB does not generally concern itself with such niceties as probable
cause and due process. Even less than the PCPD does. Nina could be
whisked away to Jakarta or Steinmauer without any warning at all.

Trina wrote off both her parents a few months ago.
She told them that their spat was taking too much of a mental toll. She
told them she would contact them when she felt ready.
Seems to me her rage has now been transferred from the parents to Brook.
Or not.
Let us see how she deals with all this before her stalker changes her focus yet again.
Would be infinitely hilarious to have
ding-a-ling Nina prominently accused of being an assassin who got the
better of a top tier WSB agent.
Agreed. The assault couldn't possibly have been predicted as a direct consequence of BLQ's failure to come forward, unlike Willow's acquittal, which could have and should have been predicted as a direct consequence
of Trina and Kai failing to report what they had witnessed. But of
course Trina (aka Curtis Jr) wouldn't see it that way because BLQ's
precious daddy wasn't sent to prison as a result of *her* failure to
come forward. Never mind that Curtis made a choice to assault Isaiah,
and his prison sentence is his own doing, not BLQ's.
BLQ ought to sue Jordan for the repairs to her scraped SUV

rCLHerCOs been an actor for a long, long time,rCY Burton said of his new co-star.
rCLHerCOs been on some prime-time shows. HerCOs done this a long time. So I said,
rCyDo you mind if I just tell you kind of, you know, what this is, who this is, why theyrCOre doing it, and what the involvement for me is?rCO And he goes,
rCyNo, I would love [for you] to.rCOrCY Burton pointed out how useful understanding even the basics of the backstory between characters can be,
so the actor can more easily grasp rCLrCyoh, thatrCOs why IrCOm saying this, and
nowrCa the interpretation needs to be this, or my intention needs to be this in the scene.rCOrCY
