Dateline Port Charles: Come Back to the Five and Dime, Ric Lansing, Ric Lansing

Previously, on Dateline Port Charles......

I want Rick Hearst inside me. Quite deeply.

Clever title, OP. Bravo!

Also liked your "Previously, on Dateline Port Charles......" in r1

Thanks R3!

Between glancing at the cue cards, mumbling, and generally bad acting, I've decided to fast forward through Sonny's scenes. Oh, and, by the way, if your family has ever been menaced, harmed, or taken advantage of by the mob (I'm from Staten Island), making a mobster a hero (he gives to the church! he paid for the Christmas decorations!) is insulting and, frankly, disgusting.

R5, Patrick Mulcahey tried addressing this by having Laura and Anna balk against Sonny paying for a city mural or some such nonsense because it came from mob money.

All that's been dropped. "Sonny cares about his kids" has been used to whitewash his awful behavior.

Hearst got some love from TV Insider, earning the top spot (actually, sharing it) on the list of best returns.

Jason and Lucky are more at the top; you can't NOT put them on the list but there's no way they deserve the top spot.

This nonsense about Ace inheriting “the Cassadine estate” makes zero sense. Nikolas is still alive ffs. What long-lost Cassadine is making this decision? Couldn’t they find another way to make Ava, who was wealthy before she married Nik, poor?

Stupid retcon

Phillip-Michael!

Let me guess:

Sonny ends up in the hospital with a heart attack. Cyrus drops by to give Sonny a Digitalis topper but hero Jason swoops in at the last minute and stops Cyrus, saves Sonny and solves the Sam, Dex and random lady murders.

And, scene.

Has Dex's Next of Kin been notified?

When is the police funeral?

R12, it's like they're TRYING to get the show canceled!

R12. You're right! He was killed in the line of duty. James got a police sendoff when he was offed. Of course, Joss was over his death and playing "War" the next day, so poor Dex will be soon forgotten.

Nathan was a more interconnected character so his death created more better stories than when the character was alive.

Maybe they'll bury Dex at Oscar's Meadow, so Joss can never have to be reminded of them again.

Sometimes everyone in Port Charles forgets about murdered cops within 24 hours.

Rick Hearst is giving hot version of John Forsythe as Blake Carrington vibes. Mama's dementia is lifting.

...along with her caftan.

[quote]Sometimes everyone in Port Charles forgets about murdered cops within 24 hours.

Same is true of its murdered doctors.

And still, the murder of Austin Gatlin-Holt remains unsolved.

R20. Bitch stole my beat!

I started watching GH again lately and there is a lot to like at the moment: I really like NuLu. Chase is fucking gorgeous and deserves better than Brooklyn.. Michael and him would be hot! Jason living with the Quartermaines has been great

How the fuck are they going to explain Gio being Brooklyn's child though

[quote]How the fuck are they going to explain Gio being Brooklyn's child though

She wasn't wearing a hazmat suit to bed back then so it was easier to conceive.

She probably started wearing Hazmat suits to bed after getting Dante's sperm all over her nightgown.

No new leads on the shooting death of FBI agent John Cates. Police seem determined not to solve this murder.

R25 is being funny, but the point is well taken -- the murder of Cates was a short-term plot twist to set up the Kristina story. They're paying a lot of attention to what happened to the recently murdered but Cates and Dr. Gatlin-Holt, both of whom were clearly murdered, are completely forgotten. Bad writing!

From the hints so far, it looks like they're going to go with Dante unknowingly knocking up Brooklynn during summer camp and Lois giving the child Gio up for adoption without Brooklynn's knowledge of the details.

R27. With Adrienne Leon's BrookLynn, I could see it. BlazerLyn probably had on a parka, ski goggles, and wool boots at summer camp.

Not mentioned: how the Dick of Death needs more sunlight and attention.

Damn, I was hoping for a Michael recast, but sounds like they're now going to keep the role open for him until he gets his life together.

When did BurkaBlazerLynn become so prudish?

She was in the first [bold]SEX[/bold] and the City movie, in a revealing outlet.

She’s credited as “Girl slapping guy”. She appears in the first few minutes in a blink-and-you’ll-miss-her scene in the movie.

⬆️ outfit, not outlet.

BurqaLynn's portrayer Amanda Setton may have become more conservative after marriage.

R27, I think the revisionist history of BL and Dante at summer camp might be the explanation for Gio. I’m hoping that it’s a red-herring and that Lucas and BL are Gio’s parents.

Chad should've consulted Josh Morrow on the long term benefits of never stepping out of your comfort zone.

Although, maybe he thinks moving his baby mama to Scottsdale will get her to leave him.

Chad is the poster boy for why contraceptives are important.

I predict Chad's break up with baby mama will be epic and featured on the Daily Mail like Steve's wife getting pregnant.

Can Frankie V. really be trusted to hold Chad's job open for him or will he pull a quick one and recast him claiming "story line dictated"?

Depends on who else we can suggest as a recast Michael who may be better.

Chad's OK but I bet we could easily list a dozen actors who could play that role well, if not better than Chad.

What about Drew Garrett?

Chad is too slight in build like Coloma. He does not have the commanding presence someone raised by a mobster and a snarling shrew of a mother should have.

Drew Garrett definitely looks great - not sure what his interest would be in returning. Was there any gossip about issues with him before? Didn't he become a bit of a diva?

I don’t the frank is too excited about drew garrett.

If there was a stray soap vet or someone, he’d be on board.

Maybe Chad will show his dick of death now that he’s not tied to GH.

People have stated on this thread many times that no matter who plays Michael, others control the writing for the character, so there is only so much an actor can do with the material given. Not saying that there aren't better actors than Chad Duell, but if the writers can't write meaty material for a character because others will get upset, then is that the actor's fault? And wasn't Drew Garret fired because he was too intense or something? Again, whose fault is that?

I wish Casey Deidrick would come on as either Michael or a resurrected Morgan.

[quote]writers can't write meaty material for a character because others will get upset, then is that the actor's fault?

Bingo!

Is Michael Corinathas still a hottie?

Mo was asked on X if NLG and Genie will ever be on his show.

He said NLG is coming and he loves "Jeannie" but his show is not for her. He couldn't even be bothered to spell her name correctly. Anyway, someone said Genie was asked at Graceland about going on Mo's show and she said it's not good for her mental health to revisit some parts of her life.

Helena Cassadine aka Constance Towers on Christmas with her family.

Any photos of Rachel Ames and her family on Christmas?

She looks damned good for 91. Bring back Helena.

R49. Good for "Jeannie." Going through that amount of fame AND dealing with Queen Geary and Evil Gloria Monty before you're 18 had to have been difficult.

So Mo's a dyslexic, manic depressive asshole AND a bad actor, eh?

His chest clutching was reminiscent of Redd Foxx on Sanford and Son

Holly’s long wait is over.

Love that you titled the thread after Rick, OP; he's a bright light amongst a pretty dark, gloomy GH 😁😁

R5 Right 😆 but as R6 stated, Patrick Mulcahey, who wasn't quite impressed with Sonny, wanted to make him accountable for his indiscretions, at least with the townspeople, something Mo didn't exactly appreciate. Mo doesn't like when people aren't nice to Sonny nor when he's not a part of big storylines, his anxiety is usually triggered by those type of situations.

R11 😁😁

R12 R14 Rumor has it that Josslyn will end up pregnant, barring rewrites

R22 Glad you're enjoying the show; this is apparently the story: Brook Lynn and Dante had sex at summer camp when they were still teens, which Cody was privy to as well. Brook Lynn confided in Lois that she was pregnant by Dante; Lois secretly arranged an adoption and allowed her family member to raise Giovanni as their own, unbeknownst to Brook Lynn. Brook Lynn was led to believe that her baby wasn't alive, so she could go on and live her life.

R24 😂 😂😂😂

R27 Right that's where the story is going

R28 😁😁

R30 Perfect opportunity to recast Michael as a sexy, shrewd businessman with an axe to grind, after his uncle and wife deceived him. Sort of how AJ should've been, before the character defamation.

R33 👍👍

R35 Apparently, almost dying, his father's death, becoming a first time father, are all taking it's toll on him. He'd rather spend his time as a gamer now, while he sorts everything out.

R40 He's wanted to come back to GH for awhile, even as another character

R42 He was pretty inexperienced with the grind of daytime when he first arrived, apparently holding up production, not showing up on time, etc. There were also rumblings of him possibly smoking weed, which weren't exactly lenient then as they are now. Jill decided to fire him, even though most of the cast, particularly Mo, wanted him to stay. Jill fired Drew when Mo wasn't there and called Mo afterwards; Chad and another guy were actually in the final three when Drew was chosen.

R43 Right Frank has never seemed interested in hiring him

R44 😂😂

R45 Absolutely correct

R49 😁😁

R53 😊😊

R55 😆

R56 Ethan should come back, both Nathan Parsons and James Ryan were pretty good, imo. A quadrangle with Ethan/Kristina/Lucky/Elizabeth would most likely be the story.

Lucky and Kristina together is apparently upcoming; obviously if that's what Frank wants, he'll override plans for Lucky and Elizabeth.

[quote]Mo doesn't like when people aren't nice to Sonny nor when he's not a part of big storylines, his anxiety is usually triggered by those type of situations.

Holding the show hostage with his "anxiety".

R78 Farman is a dizzy queen in need of an editor.

Fairman isn’t objective. He favors those who have agreed to an interview and disses those who won’t be interviewed by him.

Well, if Muscle Mary Fairman sez it's true, it must be!

R80, you could also use an editor.

Brennan, how very dare you accuse Anna of "flying in on her broomstick".

Bloody pillock.

Did the shooter get Charlotte in the face?!

R83 You got me. That’s what I get for starting off the new year being a cunt.

R80, 😃😃

The DoD made Deadline!

Has Willow been tested? She is such a dumb ass.

I do appreciate they aren’t suddenly writing willow as evil or manipulative. She’s always just sorta been dumb cult-joining white trash …and she still is.

R61, I can hear Brook Lynn now to Lois:

"you were my mother! I TRUSTED YOU!"

Will Gio call Tracy Great-Granny?

Why Gio? Hope he is a red herring prefer a different long lost brat.

Looks like my prediction on the previous thread of Michael ending up a burn patient might be true.

Apparently they've pulled this photo.

Mikey wrapped up like a mummy and in a burn unit for the foreseeable future would keep the character alive but not actually seen. Also, gives FV the option to recast with a different face if he so chooses.

So stupid. Can anyone on this show just move to a different town?

R95 But that wouldn't give Stumpy the Shoe Polish Don and Snaggletooth Hambitch yet more screen time to scream, cry, rend garments and stink up the show.

Cameron Mathison scandalizing the frauen on Instagram.

Oops, looks like he deleted it. Here it is:

I want Cameron Mathison inside me - quite quite deeply!

Yum, yum r98

He can't act worth a damn but he IS hot.

Cameron is out getting all kinds of pussy now that he dumped that bitch of a wife he had for years.

Would Cameron's employers at GAC approve of him showing that much skin?

R102. I don't think it's pussy he's getting...

Lulu is a big old KAREN

Goddam that’s a fine daddy.

R79 😁

R80 😁

R91 Right 😊

R93 Giovanni being tied to major families is a tactic to make him stick; he's apparently not exactly faring well with the audience.

R94 "Up in smoke" 😊

R95 Not really 😆

R96 😂 😂 😂 😂

R98 He's always had a great ass

R102 Apparently he was also busy elsewhere with others while still married 🤫 "supposedly"

R103 😊

R105 Others are saying that too; Alexa's great, of course, though some seem to see a Mini Carly

R106 😁

Michael being in peril on his way out is somewhat reminiscent of when Dylan Cash was written out to age Michael

Carly issues a warning.

Tracy and Stella catch up.

Kai and Trina share a close moment.

Cody seeks out Brad.

Nina and Sonny make a compromise.

Are the flyover fraus' lady parts dripping over Mathison's shredded physique? Drew and Willow should be perishing in the fire, so Michael and Sasha can reunite to raise their brood, and Nina can go scorched earth on someone over something.

Willow is being called Willhoe on X.

R121 LMAO they are, especially the fans brought in from All My Children, however, there have been references to Drew as a "scoundrel" with many disapproving of the storyline, for they wanted Willow to stay with Michael. Cameron and Katelyn are going with it; Katelyn, who originally wanted Willow with Michael instead of Chase, became bored playing domesticated Willow.

R94 There's speculation that Frank is actually non too thrilled with Chad's decision to vacate, along with Chad's public announcement online. While Frank claims to be fine with everything, there's rumblings he will usher in a recast, instead of letting Chad come back.

David A. Gregory IN as new Michael.

R125 Can see that 😁

I hope Frank does recast. This is one instance where I welcome his pettiness and spitefulness.

R127 Aside from many longtime fans who are accustomed to Chad, there seems to be plenty of viewers who are hoping for this as well

Which came first: not wanting to take another pay/guarantee cut or his mental health issues? Either way, I hope Chad's skincare line is doing well. The products seemed to be priced for a daytime demographic.

I listened to Chad on that thing that Burton and Anderson call a podcast. He just sounds so exhausted and depressed, and not terribly grateful for the 15 years of steady acting work on TV. Both of the hosts congratulated and encouraged him while gently reminding him not to assume the show will always be there waiting to welcome him back—things change.

Chad is probably hoping to extricate himself from the baby mama and settle child support matters based on his loss of steady income. I doubt he can get that all accomplished by November 2025 sweeps at which time Frankie V. will recast.

Has Van Hansis rubbed one out while looking at Cam Mathison’s ass?

R125

I don’t see him as Michael, but he would be a good Morgan

R133 In regards to features, agreed, except Bryan Craig would like to have a word with you.

I'm surprised petty Frank hasn't brought back both Bryan Craig and Kelly Thiebaud and put them in scenes together just to punish them both.

It’s time to finally fix the Michael character and this is the perfect time. We need a ruthless leading man who has chemistry with females. A real Q power player. Sorry Chad was never that. Casey Dedrick as recast Morgan?

Steve got engaged. She resembles Chad's girlfriend.

Steve's son looks like a card carrying member of Future Homosexuals of America.

The girlfriend's cheeks are competing for space with her eyes.

....

Good for Steve for getting fresh snatch!

I'll never understand why celebrities (or anyone) who get cheated on and publicly humiliated by their spouse would ever want to get married again.

[quote] Steve got engaged. She resembles Chad's girlfriend.

She resembles Don Jr.'s ex, Kimberly Gargoyle.

Those MAGA men sure have a "type"....

R98- his gig on GH is done so advertising for new sources of revenue

When will Chad D and the DoD start escorting?

Good points r143

R144 are you predicting/spoiling that drew is on his way out?

I'm watching ATWT blooper reels on YouTube. I don't know why, I never watched ATWT and don't know any of the characters or story lines. But I do enjoy seeing a young Maura West screw up and dressed in jeans. Also spotted RoHo, Cady McClain and I think Van having a Jack McFarland moment. They seem like a fun bunch, joking about hairy asses and such.

R148, Maura West is great on GH and was awesome on ATWT. Probably an unpopular opinion, but I loved the short haircut she had back in the day.

Maura is great, and while Carly's escapades could be tiresome, she never became overbearing to watch, unlike some of the other female characters at ATWT toward the end.

I'm reading over on the Eric Roberts thread that Eric will take any job. Frank should give Eric a ring.

Didn't Eric already slum it on Y&R?

^Yes. Maybe he can come rattle stilted, sputtering Mo for a while until Mo can't take the competition any more and has him fired. Anything that upsets egomaniac Mo is okay with me.

Oh gah, Mo and Eric in the same studio....they'd both kill each other in a week.

In that case.....

HIRE HIM! HIRE HIM NOW!!!

Eric is doing HVAC commercials. I'm sure he'd be happy to come to Port Charles to play a doctor or a mobster, it would be a step up!

I bet Steve sells his wedding photos to People magazine to rub it in his ex-wife's face and also to recoup some of what he lost the divorce.

How much is People going to pay for a grizzled soap actor's wedding photos?

What exactly happened to Steve burton? Just age and genetics? Overtanning? Steroids? Something else?

He was so gorgeous and is just not any more.

Fifty-five years ago today, All My Children debuted.

R159. You and your Swedish meatballs!

Jackie Templeton and presumed dead Spencer Cassadine spotted with Angelina Jolie at pre-Golden Globes party

Steve Burton can cum on my face, anytime!!

R81, I'm not a huge Fairman (or "Farman" fan) but that's ALL of them.

Is Chad going to make a new career out of appearing on Mo's show monthly?

He's on again. ADHD is his latest problem.

This'll be a FAFO moment for Chad. Uncle Frank will recast quick. Otherwise, fraus will start screaming that they could've just rested Sam for a few months instead of firing Monaco.

Yeah I think Chad is going to find out Frankie V. didn't appreciate him announcing and spoiling his departure just so he could start getting press.

There will be a NuMichael by May or November Sweeps.

I wonder how they GH feels about THEIR OWN ACTORS giving a platform to actors who are talking about leaving the show.

Is GH renewed for a few years, or is it season by season.

Sputtering Mo has this show in a chokehold in every possible way. If TPTB dared confront him about giving actors on their way out a platform or current actors an opportunity to question why they don't have a story line (Trina actress), he would claim they are giving him ANXIETY and they would have to top.

Too bad TPTB didn't learn anything from the Tony Geary chokehold. They acquiesced to Tony's every whim in fear he would leave and the show would collapse. Did the show collapse after Tony left? No!

Let Mo leave! The show won't collapse. It will be rejuvenated. If he sues, present thirty years worth of evidence of his bad behavior. Flying furniture, anyone?

^stop not top

Maurice is getting too lazy to even try to hide his glancing at cue cards.

In recent scene with Nancy Lee Grahan, he looked to the left (to the cue cards) before saying 70% of his lines.

If a newbie was doing that, Frank would replace him/her is quick order.

R169 I agree, but Mo **will** kill this show.

Chad will be recast the burns will usher in a new faced Michael!

GH pre-empted Tuesday, 1/7. President Carter's coffin to be transferred to Capitol.

Is Scott Clifton still on B&B? Can FV get him back as Dillon?

Dillon is a character that absolutely needs to be on the show. Even better if they can get Scott Clifton back.

Don't understand what B&B is doing with Clifton's Liam character. I thought they brought the Ivy Forrester character back to pair with Liam, but so far that hasn't happened.

Show has decided instead to focus on a ingenue who's only been on for 3 or 4 months who's now being stalked by her ex-boyfriend.

Does GH pay better than B&B? Isn't Scott Clifton going through a divorce?

Scott Clifton and Jane Elliot together again would be glorious.

I read somehwere that Brad Bell wanted to rest the Liam character for a bit. Dylan would be a great addition, but I think the character should be snarky like Tracey. The last Dylan was a little too pretty and not snarky enough, ask Laura Wright.

Scott Clifton has bad blood with fv.

B&b pays better in general because of international distribution.

He’s not coming back if he can help it but I hope the character of Dillon does.

Dillon.

[quote] Scott Clifton has bad blood with fv.

Wasn't Scott on OLTL briefly? I assume that's the source of bad blood.

BB international doesn't pay what it used to.

Even if it did, Liam hasn't been on regularly in a while; the story with him pursuing Steffy was dropped so they could focus on Steffy freaking out over Hope saying hi to Finn in the FC hallway.

It may not pay what it used to but what does? Still pays better than gh.

Rumor is fv told Scott his job was asecure and to go ahead and buy a house. Scott did. Then fv fired him.

I was just on a flight with Steve Burton from Nashville to Long Beach. Southwest - he had an A grouping but no first class obviously. I think I was one of the only people to notice him and I pointed him out to my husband who recognized him from the show I watch. It was hilarious. He was a with a young looking brunette who I thought was a daughter but after the engagement photos I realize it was his girlfriend! He looked good- jacked. Def did steroids at some point.

R135 😁😁

R138 He was rumored to be up for a Jake recast, except recasting never proceeded

R143 Some say she slightly resembles Chad's ex/Steve's buddy Courtney Hope as well.

R151 😁😁

R161 Pretty sure this didn't come up, but Angelina Jolie soap connection to them is that Brad Pitt was on Another World, right? I believe his name was Chris, in a recurring role.

Brad Pitt was on AW for literally a minute.

R165 Good point. Some already made their opinions online:

R192 Before my time, just something I read, so was it one episode?

R166 😁

R168 Seasonal. Unlike CBS and NBC, when DOOL was there regularly, ABC/Disney owns GH, so they can choose to cancel at anytime, without having to iron anything out with a company like Sony, in regards to contractual obligations. Beyond the Gates apparently will be owned by CBS, in partnerships with Procter & Gamble, for example, yet they'll have ownership, which they don't have with Y&R/B&B.

R169 😆

R171 😁

R173 Is there anyone you have in mind, as a Michael recast?

Right Scott Clifton and Frank fell out at OLTL, after Scott suspected that he was being fired, so he went to Frank to verify before renewing his lease. Frank reassured him that his job was secure; Scott renewed his lease, then Frank fired him shortly afterwards.

Scott may have the most boring role in the world at B&B, but the show will run into eternity and he's likely financially set. He'd be a fool to leave before Brad Bell decides to write him off.

Scott Clifton’s total pussy hound! He loves eating snatch. Frank doesn’t.

.....

NAC resembles a 1980s Peter Bergman then famous for being Dr. Cliff Warner on AMC.

The resemblance is strong around the mouth in my opinion.

I like Scott Clifton/Dillion, but he’d be fool to leave BB for GH He’s been pretty much lead male actor #1 for his tenure there. If he came back to GH, he’d be #3 at best after Sonny and Jason. Look at how well Lucky’s return has been. I don’t think he can get a Stafford deal where they just keep making up convoluted backstory until he gets tired and leave. Better to keep the good steady position here already has.

Gio, Emma, too old Aiden and Trina.

Really want Gio to discover his bisexuality with Aiden.

[quote]Really want Gio to discover his bisexuality with Aiden.

That would give him more to do than he currently has. All he has to do now is play the violin.

I get that Scott would be a fool to leave B&B for GH -- unless he wouldn't be.

Liam hasn't worked in several months. If he were to go back to GH, he'd be working with Jane Elliot and the other Q's.

It sounds like Scott may not like Frank over that house or lease situation but that doesn't mean Frank doesn't dislike Scott. If he offered him a job, he might take it. The key is story. You can't just bring someone on. They have to have story.

Hearst does; Jackson and Burton do not.

Sidebar: Jane Elliot was supposed to play Stephanie on B&B until Flannery rang up Bell, her old DAYS boss, and asked for the role. Some of Scott's earliest scenes on B&B had him being smacked around by Steph; he was destined to work with Jane one way or another.

^

doesn't like

He looks like a Trump cabinet pick.

We really are fortunate Jane decided to un-retire and come back. She is one of the few reasons I watch.

My current reasons for watching:

Finola, Jane, Maura, Cynthia, Alexa, Sawandi and most of all Rick Hearst.

Promising: Sidwell until insecure Mo chases him away, mischievious revamped Emma.

Gone but not forgotten and sorely missed: Valentin, Britt, Victor Sheffield Cassadine, Liesel.

**Note: Overpaid, hobo JJ not on my list. Ditto Burton. Mathison can take a flying leap.

Chad is on Cameo if any of you are missing him and want to book a personal message. $60.

$60 is a bargain when you consider:

Mo - $199

Steve Burton- $199

Eric Braeden - $170

NLG - $100

Charles Shaughnessy - $125

Emma Samms - $150

Cynthia Watros - $150

Vanessa Marcil - $200

No Laura wright? I’d have bet money she’d make herself available on cameo…

^ I was surprised too, I even searched for her name but nothing came up.

Adding: Antonio Sabbato Jr. - $177

There are a bunch of other GH actors but they are at Chad's level or less, I just listed the most expensive ones.

I'd pay $20 for Giolin to serenade me on Cameo with his fiddle.

Laura was probably embarrassed she got fewer requests than Cynthia or something.

Cameron Mathison's house burns down.

I enjoy making fun of Drew, but Mathison's loss is pretty devastating.

very sad

Does anyone find it surreal to acknowledge losing your house to a fire among posts of self-promotion? Everything is so curated until it isn't.

Is Amanda Setton pregnant? If so, it will be a nice reprieve from her when she goes on maternity leave and Brianna Lane possibly fills in again.

Did they have a new episode today? DVR didn't record it for some reason.

Yeah new ep, with some fire coverage interruptions R223 .

Thank you!

I hate Andrew Cain Quartermaine but my heart goes out to Cameron Matheson and anyone, famous or not, whose lives have been changed forever over the past two days.

Will Cam Mathison rub one out for $199?

$1.99

I’ll comfort Cameron Mathison

If Cam were to do an OnlyFans to raise money I would subscribe.

I guess I'm in the minority but I've never found Cameron Mathison appealing dating back to AMC.

Yes he's always been in great shape but I don't like his voice just like I didn't like Michael Easton's voice and there's something about his eyes I find off-putting. His eyes are deep set and then there's an overhang from his eyebrows or huge forehead that gives a Herman Munster-ish look.
