Frisco Jones has left ABC once again. Back in the day Jack Wagner left General Hospital because he thought he was going to be the hottest singer in the world. Someone should have sat him down and told him to watch VH-1's One Hit Wonders and see if he changed his mind. Of course thy did not have that show back then, but still, it would have been nice. It is kind of amazing to think about one soap producing at least three acts that scored hit songs. Jack Wagner; Rick Springfield; and Ricky Martin. Am I forgetting anyone? Anyway, the fame that Jack has been trying to get back ever since he left the show is slipping once again as he was the second person eliminated from Dancing With The Stars. If you asked me yesterday I would have said he stayed for another week and Gavin DeGraw would have been gone because the voters know Jack more. Maybe they were upset about the whole Heather Locklear thing.
I would have liked to have seen him for another week as well. I'm an Anna fan though and prefer her over Karina.
ReplyDeleteHe was perfectly cheesy for the show.
I don't remember Ricky Martin, but I was all over GH back in the Jack & Rick days. My BFF had SUCH a crush on Rick. I was more of a Frisco kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteGH, ahhh. That whole Luke & Laura storyline had us mesmerized.
I also remember when Kelly Ripa was on Y&R. So punk rock (ha).
Slightly off topic, but did you see Jaleel White kiss Kym last night? Awkward.
ReplyDeleteRick Springfield was more than a one hit wonder. He had quite a few successful albums. That was back when there was actual vinal albums.
ReplyDeleteYes! 17 top 40 hits!!! I'm a Rick Springfield turbo fan! :-)
DeleteEm- So, I happen to be flipping thru the channels and stopped on GH yesterday. Heather walked in and I was all OMG! I haven't watched GH in 20 years and for some reason I watched it yesterday. Good Times!
ReplyDeleteRicky Martin was part of a pretty hot boyband for a number of years.
ReplyDeleteM-E-N-U-D-O.
Bring back Enty.
Lest we forget Michael Damian aka Danny Romalotti from the Young and The Restless. Oh! I was so in love with him. At least he knew better than to try and completely turn his back on the soap world.
ReplyDeleteHe came out with the cover of "Rock On" for Dream a Little Dream. *sniff* Poor Corey Haim.
He's coming back. Lol
DeleteDanny and Cricket!!! Omg
DeleteGavin DeGraw is the man who bought us the one tree hill theme, one of my favourite songs ever. Though maybe the fact that I used to be I huge one tree hill fan makes me biased. Not that i've ever watched this show anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am a longtime GH fan and was rooting for Wagner to do better, but he was an unimpressive dancer, and I'm sorry to say his personality was utter cheese.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Gavin McGraw from a hole in the wall, but he seemed likable and sincere. I'm glad he's staying.
@Discoflux - SQUEEE - Danny Romalatti! Loved him, forgot all about him though. I can hardly remember what he looked like, going to google him right now.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I tuned is he was weeping like June Allison so I shut if off. Christ, get a grip, man.
ReplyDeleteJohn Stamos was drummer Blackie Ryan and Demi Moore was some kind of reporter(?) on GH back in the day.
ReplyDeleteJack Wagner made a record?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Jack Wagner had one minor hit called "All I Need," which was kind of a schmaltzy ballad. It's probably on youtube somewhere, with a high earworm factor.
ReplyDeleteDon't ask why I know this - my supermemory at work, I guess.
@CommaChaser - I was hoping no one would say the name of the song so it wouldn't get stuck in my head! Now I *have* to youtube it in order to keep it from infiltrating my every thought today.
ReplyDelete@disco. Hey, I'm here to help. While you are at it, check out that epic "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me" duet with Aretha and George Michael.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Heh heh.
@Comma - You are the debbil.
ReplyDelete^^ LMAO I already had All I Need running through my brain. Thanks for the duet that overtook it.
ReplyDeleteThe debbil indeed.
I was/am a HUGE Rick Springfield fan! Actually saw him in concert here a few months ago, and he was awesome!! The only time I watched GH was when he was on as the ultra-hot Dr. Noah Drake.
ReplyDeleteJohn Stamos plays the drums, as Abby mentioned, and he's played with the Beach Boys for years. He was the drummer on their last hit, "Kokomo."
He didn't get the votes because he looks like a mannequin!! Awful plastic surgery, he's disturbing to look at.
ReplyDeleteLike the turd that he is!

ReplyDeleteOmg I loved Michael Damian. He was on a full house episode too I think
ReplyDeleteOMG. I am GH lifer. I am currently on hiatus. I don't know. Robin Scorpio was getting on my nerves, and I didn't feel the need to see Jason Quartermaine stare blankly into space. And Vanessa Marcil's return stint as Brenda was completely fucked.
ReplyDeleteI just hope ABC doesn't cancel it. But, my sister, who works in the TV world, seems to think all of the soaps will get the ax sooner or later.
I'm not watching this season of DWTS. Totally thought Jack Wagner would have a huge fanbase.
Is it good this season? I've been more into Celebrity Apprentice. Lord help me. LOL.
I saw the funniest thing on TMZ tv - someone said Jack Wagner looked more like Martina Navritilova than Martina did. Haha!
ReplyDeleteHis face is seriously disturbing, and that creepy permanent smile..... He looks like he's made of plastic. Yikes.
Kelly Ripa was punker Hailey on AMC.
ReplyDeleteSince AMC got cancelled I've been watching B&B and Jack Wagner really sucks. I think he may have been let go. I loved him back in the day as Frisco. So sad.
I'm not watching this go-round, I'm sticking with The Voice. You know things are getting crazy when Christina Aguilera claims to be the only sober judge on the show. LOL.
I agree with everyone who called him plastic and disturbing to look at. I am a life long GH fan and still watch it today. I remember what a hunk Frisco used to be and it's sad to see what he did to himself.
ReplyDeleteThat perma-smile is creepy and yes, he does look like a woman.
And an FYI for my fellow GHers, I hear Felicia is coming back for a short stint. I hope Frisco does not follow. Oh, and Dr. Noah Drake made an appearance too. Another plastic surgery disaster.
Am I the only one grossed out by this picture?!
ReplyDeleteWOW. Talk about body-objectification and gender role stereotypes.
It's all about recognition. Obviously since he had all that plastic surgery not enough people knew who he was.
ReplyDelete@Aly - Yeah. Ricky Martin got the soap gig because of his success in Menudo - which I LOVED!!!! They were huge around the world. Grown women cried over them - my husband saw it growing up in Puerto Rico.
