Made the second batch of my ocs, as promised!

And again, here is their bio in order

Fritz:

Dominic Fritz is a town detective. After being attacked by Tony, he knew that this was no ordinary case. But besides looking for clues on the case, he always tries to find a way to stop Team Demon from causing anymore trouble. He also has his own office.

Scott:

Scott is the former owner of Camp Ghost Town. Ever since Team Demon came back from the dead, he immediately became an easy target for them, as they prank, and manipulate him into doing stuff. He always has to deal with all the shenanigans they make.

Bram:

Bram Jefferson is Fritz’ assistant. He's a young rookie helping out Fritz after his father convinced him into getting out of the house. He seems to have a feeling that the events regarding Team Demon were done for a reason.

Esteban:

Esteban Rodriguez is one of Bram's friends. He's the supposed leader of the group, and is also the cool one out of them. He rarely pays attention to what Fritz tells him, and prefers his own set of rules when it comes to tasks

Rory:

Rory Lambert is one of Bram's friends, and is the smart one of the group. He's always seen reading books that he brings with him wherever he goes. He's also the more responsible one in case Esteban tries to change the rules of a task.

Arleen:

Arleen is a helper for Fritz. She usually sets out tasks either by phone or in person. Whenever you're feeling down, she's always there to make you feel better, but mostly Fritz. She also has a thing for the supernatural.

The final character I have will be here in maybe a couple of hours, so stay tuned!

The first batch will be shown here

Since there are rumors of MC being fired, I would love it if they brought back the old Nikolas (Stephen martines AKA Coltin Scott). He was a great Nikolas and he gave off a more dark princely vibe compared to MC and I kinda find TC overrated. I would love to see Stephen and NAC act together.

As long as the guy can act/emote and the physical appearance is consistent, who plays Nik doesn't really matter to me. I'd welcome TC, I'd welcome Coltin, I'd even welcome the temp when MC had COVID.

The Race for City Council District 29

Although, until recently, most of New York City’s political focus was on the 2020 elections, the 2021 elections will also be significant for the city. With Mayor Bill de Blasio term-limited, a number of challengers have already declared their candidacy – including Comptroller Scott Stringer, Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Shaun Donovan, and former chair of the Civilian Complaint Review Board Maya Wiley (Coltin, 2020). But with substantially less fanfare than the citywide mayoral race, there will also be elections for all 51 seats on the New York City Council. The 2021 City Council primaries will also make history as the first in the city to be decided by ranked-choice voting (Geringer-Sameth, 2020).

In District 29 – which encompasses the neighborhoods of Forest Hills, Rego Park, Kew Gardens, and Richmond Hill – City Council member Karen Koslowitz is term-limited, and the race to succeed her is wide open. Karen Koslowitz was first elected to her seat for two terms in 1991, and then re-elected to her seat for two more terms in 2009, with a stint as Queens Deputy Borough President in the interim (District 29 - Karen Koslowitz). Now that she’s ineligible to run again, a new era of electoral politics in central Queens in set to begin, and ten candidates have filed to run for City Council District 29 with the New York City Campaign Finance Board (Candidate List - 2021 Citywide Elections).

Among the challengers are several of my friends and neighbors – including Lynn Schulman, David Aronov, Edwin Wong, and Aleda Gagarin. Schulman – who has been active in the community for decades as part of the local community board, police precinct community council, chamber of commerce, and community education council (Meet Lynn) – would make history as the first openly lesbian elected official in Queens (Cardoso, 2020). Schulman ran for but lost the seat in 2001 and 2009, but has quickly emerged as the frontrunner this time around – having raised seven times as much money as all other candidates combined (Campaign Finance Summary). Aronov, who worked for Koslowitz as a community liaison and currently census organizing efforts for Queens, will be just 25 years old during next year’s election (Kadinsky, David Aronov Council Run: Would Be First Bukharian Elected). As a co-founder of the Bukharian Jewish Union, Aronov is looking to become the area’s first Bukharian representative (Kadinsky, 2020). Wong – president of the Forest Hills Asian Association, community board member, and banker – is also looking to tap into changing demographics and hoping to be the area’s first Asian representative (Krevoy, FHAA president runs for City Council). Gagarin – a nonprofit fundraiser and former campaign manager for her husband Mel’s Congressional campaign – is perhaps the most outspokenly progressive challenger in the race (About - Aleda Gagarin for NYC Council District 29). (Mel came in second in his race against Representative Grace Meng, with 20% of the vote.) Other challengers in the City Council race include Evan Boccardi, Eliseo Labayen, Marcelle Lashley-Kabore, Sharon Levy, Douglas Shapiro, and Donghui Zang.

Why are all of these people running for this position on the City Council to represent District 29? One answer to that question can be found in the writings of urbanist Jane Jacobs, who wrote about the importance of a district in a city. In her 1961 book The Death and Life of Great American Cities, Jacobs divided the city into three geographic and political divisions. “I can see evidence that only three kinds of neighborhoods are useful,” she wrote, “1) the city as a whole; 2) street neighborhoods; 3) districts of large subcity size, composed of 100,000 people or more in the case of the largest cities” (Jacobs, 1961). (Indeed, the combined population of Forest Hills and Rego Park – the two main neighborhoods in City Council 29 – is about 130,000.) For Jacobs, “the chief function of a successful district is to mediate between the indispensable, but politically powerless, street neighborhoods and the inherently powerful city as a whole.” This mediation happens in both directions. The district helps direct much-needed city resources to the street-level neighborhood, as well as inform the city of street-level needs and trends. But even more than mediation, a district has to have a rivalrous relationship with the city. Jacobs puts it bluntly when discussing the ideal size of a district: “A district has to be big and powerful enough to fight city hall.” The reason for this potential to fight is because “nothing is more helpless than a city street alone, when its problems exceed its powers.” In these situations, “sometimes the city is not the potential helper, but the antagonist of a street, and again, unless the street contains extraordinarily influential citizens, it is usually helpless alone.” Jacobs wrote that whenever citizens at the street-level neighborhood wanted to fight the city, they “needed power to back up [their] pipsqueak protest. The power came from our district.”

So much of what Jacobs wrote generally about districts in a city can be applied to City Council District 29 specifically. Much of what our next City Council member will be expected to do is to mediate between the street-level neighborhoods of Forest Hills and Rego Park and the City of New York as a whole. It is this unity of street-level neighborhoods that makes a district powerful enough to stand up to the city.

Are you open to a nik recast? If so, how would you like for him to come back since he is "dead"?

I’m somewhat open... if Tyler is unavailable and happy at DAYS, I’m for it, but it depends on who is cast. Hard pass on the last notNik. This is unpopular, but I did actually like Coltin Scott/Stephen Martines. I remember when he was on GL. I’m just not sure how exactly I’ll feel until or if it happens. I think Liz could really use Nik as a friend. I’m leaning towards not wanting romantic Niz unless it’s with Tyler - I’d probably feel bitter otherwise. I think you could slide Nik into any story... the 2 Jasons, Liz’s, Cassadine business/adventure, etc. There’s a lot of possibilities, and it’s depressing that GH didn’t value Nik/Tyler enough to keep him on the canvas in the first place. 

[dream-beyond-the-fantasy]

Well, you’ve only got five Nikolas actors to choose from: Tyler Christopher, Stephen Martines (credited as Coltin Scott), Chris Beetem, Nick Stabile, and Marcus Coloma.  Although, Chris and Nick were temp recasts.

Since gh sucks right now at actual flashback Friday... What's a story or character you want to see? I'll dig up the storyline and clips!

Advice for the Lovelorn: Coltin Scott
