Jason Cook heading to General Hospital
I read some more interesting casting news.
Jason Cook is heading to General Hospital.
Yep. One-half of the original, super-popular Shawn/Belle pairing on Days of Our Lives will be putting down roots in Port Charles.
Yay.
I’m actually excited about this.
Why? Well, as most of you probably know, the other half of the original, super-popular Shawn/Belle pairing was Kirsten Storms. Yep. That Kirsten Storms, as in the fashion-obsessed, amusingly self-absorbed Maxie Jones who now wreaks her own brand of havoc on the citizens of Port Chuck.
I think this development shall prove very interesting.
Apparently, Jason will play a hunky doctor with a mysterious past. Hopefully that means Ian, that other doctor with a mysterious past … who is decidedly more creepy than hunky … will soon be going bye bye. (No offense to portrayer Seamus Dever, but Ian fell pretty flat for me. And now that he’s shot Michael, I have a feeling he’s not long for GH.)
If Jason and Kirsten can recapture their previous Days magic, I’d be all for a little dalliance between Maxie and the new doctor.
Although I think the mini-fashionista and Spinelli (Bradford Anderson) are cute together, I must admit that the shadow of dear departed Georgie hovers large on their relationship. I’m still angry she’s gone, and frankly Maxie seems like a poor substitute for the lady who should have been the true mate for The Jackal’s soul.
Not that I’m bitter or anything.
So welcome to GH, Jason. Just don’t disappoint me, capiche?
