Jeff did not have to be written as a deadbeat. It was obvious that Richard Dean Anderson would never return and Jeff was never a lead so a recast (even temporary visit) for any of his 4 kids could have easily been written in. Producers and writers from the mid 90s on made the mistake of not revisiting Jeff Webber (it was always 2 w’s). I know it is plausible to not see family for that long, every family is unique and circumstances can keep family from seeing each other for decades, but still this one to me doesn’t make sense, but lets see how they will spin this an convince us.Īlways nice to read your show history posts, James. It doesn’t make sense why they’ve chosen to play it out this way. Lets be real, the writers have made all the characters on the show bad parents at one point or another. doing? Why did Frisco turn into a deadbeat dad? he supposedly went to save the world, did he not provide financial support for his girls working for the government? and Is Lucky sending support for his kid w/ Liz? Then there’s Lucy, Anna,Robert, Laura, Scotty, Kevin all have offsprings that live off screen, at least you hear Scott has a relationship w/ Serena off screen but you never here Kevin mention his kid w/ Lucy or Lucy mention her daughter Kristina, she does mention Serena though. Right on point Jamesj75, are they going to do a Rick webber on Jeff Webber? did liz witness her Dad doing something bad, like Laura witness “Rick”. And I look forward to seeing these two characters meeting up once again. Of course, we know of Heather’s countless misdeeds and crimes. So perhaps we will learn of terrible misdeeds by Jeff that occurred long ago, off screen. I do remember the writers figuratively and literally destroying the character of Rick Webber - wasn’t it “Weber” at one point? - by rewriting history. So I think “deadbeat dad” can thus be a misnomer for such characters.įrom what I recall, both Jeff and Frisco were good guys, good-looking, romantic leads, “heroes” in a sense. But we know it’s the fault of the writers/producers, or sometimes even the actors, that the characters don’t appear on the show. But I think that the moniker “deadbeat dad” as used for Jeff - and Frisco Jones, for that matter - is basically done so because the character in question hasn’t been seen, or ostensibly heard from, in many years. That being said, I may have missed some plotlines or pertinent dialogue. Satan, it’s been a long time since I’ve been a regular GH viewer, although I expect to watch some of these episodes featuring characters Jeff and Heather, given that I was a regular viewer when those characters were originally introduced. So, what do you think will be revealed? Will Jeff turn out to be a very bad guy? Does Heather have something to do with what happened to Liz years ago in the stair well? What does Reiko have to do with any of this? Share your theories via the comment section below. We fade to black and that’s the cliffhanger till Monday! Just then, who should walk through the front door? It’s Jeff! He is stunned to see his daughter standing in the living room. Meanwhile, Liz has broken into her childhood home and sees a photo of her and her sister, Sarah, from 25 years ago. After she hangs up, she looks around the coffee shop and Jeff and Carolyn aren’t there. Once at the coffee shop, Terry gets a call from Britt (Kelly Thiebaud) about Willow’s (Katelyn MacMullen) leukemia condition. Just then, Terry receives a text from Liz’s parents and she needs to get to the coffee shop. When Terry asks her what it is she is looking for, Liz admits she is not sure. Liz shares she is scared to go inside her parents home (she knows the security code to get in without being found out) but she informs Terry she’s determined to get to the truth and connect the dots of what has been haunting her all these months. Back in Port Charles, Finn finds out from Cameron (William Lipton) that Liz actually went back to visit her parents, which surprises him. Terry tells Liz that she will do her best to stall Jeff and Carolyn as long as possible. While sitting in a car, Terry had called Liz’s parents, who were shocked to hear from her but also agreed to meet her at the local coffee shop. It’s been over 20 years since Liz has been back home or seen in her parents. In story, Liz (Rebecca Herbst) and Terry (Cassandra James) have traveled to Monterey, California, so Liz can go snooping in the Webber house (where she grew up) in an effort try to get some answers as to why she somehow knows Finn’s (Michael Easton) ex-wife, Reiko, and her troubled relationship with her parents, Jeff and Carolyn. Friday’s episode o f General Hospital not only brought back to the canvas, Heather Webber (now played by Alley Mills), but Jeff Webber (now played by William Moses).
