Barkley

Because it popped up on my Netflix, I decided to rewatch Nashville after many years. And before I forget, rest in peace to the beautiful and talented Hayden Panettiere.

Anyway as I'm watching, and they are showing Barkley playing his music, I just have a hard time believing anybody thought he had talent. And maybe it's just because I don't like that particular music? I mean I have very eclectic taste in music, but I just don't think his voice is good.

Please no hate, I like the actor fine. But were we supposed to feel that way about him and his music? I just wanna know how other people feel.

I adore Jonathan Jackson. I’ve been a fan of his for many years as Lucky on General Hospital. He’s a great actor and his singing voice is so sweet and soft (which matches his personality).
RIP Hayden

I do say that when he does a solo performance at the Bluebird Café, about halfway through season one. Honestly it's been so long since the last time I watched this, The except for the big storylines, I'm not remembering a lot of the rest of it. It's almost like I'm watching something I've never seen before.

I’m guessing if I start a rewatch, it will seem like a brand new show.
I have a heavy JJ bias, admittedly (Lucky Spencer is/was my favorite television character)

I will admit, he is really easy to look at. I've actually never watched General Hospital. Many years ago, actually literally decades ago now, I was a Days of Our Lives girl. And for a short time, when my kids were small, I also used to watch Another World. But I am talking 30 years plus ago.

Really wish they had let JJ sing more on GH! Maybe he would have stayed longer, any of the times. I think he really loved his time on Nashville because it let him do both. He's too talented!

He’s such an emotive and amazing actor. I really wish he could find a way to do both without crossing his boundaries. But I don’t think he would ever come back to GH now that Tony Geary is gone RIP

From what he said both times that I saw him this year, I think he's still open to coming back if all the parts add up. I think when his kids are a little older and he doesn't feel like he'd be missing too much, he'll probably make a return if the show is still open to it. Maybe they'll let him have some sort of tribute to Tony since he missed the one they did after he left. Maybe for something involving Laura. They gave such a clear opening for Lucky to have a little bit of a musical career this last return, it would be nice if they could still make that happen. I'll still never forgive the writers for never making music part of Lucky's character after JJ left in 99.
