Thumbs up Rick

I couldn't tell if it was the same actor in the reunion as in the series, but hey, what does it matter? He still sucks!

It wasn't the same actor as the series.

In the series, Rick was played by Scott Bryce. In the reunion, he was played by Carl Marotte.

Oops, I forgot to post what I thought of Rick.

I absolutely hated Rick during the series, but he seemed nice and sweet in the reunion. Afterall, it was a different character. Maybe it was just that I hated Scott Bryce.

I thought Rick and Jo would surely be divorced by now. They seemed so mismatched. Also, in my opinion, the new guy from the reunion may not have even been Rick. I mean, did they ever actually call him by name? I didn't hear it, and his part was soooo small that he was pretty much insugnificant except that he provided transportation for Jamie. And, they came there by motorcycle. Rick never rode a motorcycle. Also, he was a concert pianist. Didn't this guy play backup for a rock band? Maybe she dumped Rick years ago and married some other guy. Too bad he was a looser as well!

He was definetely Rick. In the movie, Jamie even called him "daddy".

I was just kidding about him not being Rick. I know he was supposed to be Rick, I just thought the whole character was a little strange in the reunion. He was of very little importance and the characters barely acknowledged him. Also, this guy was too young to be Rick Bonner. Rick was six years older than Jo, which would make him around 43 or so. This guy seemed about 35 or 36 to me. I guess I just hate it when they recast a part, even if it is a character I do not really care for!

Gosh, coily, you damn near scared me when I saw the topic with a thumbs up sign next to it. I thought, "Oh, no, my fellow Rick Hater has turned to the dark side!"
But that's great to hear he still sucks ( I didn't get to see the movie, cause I had to work). He always sucked. Man, they should of brought back Eddie! Yeah!

I won't spoil the movie for you, Cokies, but Rick does look a little "tougher" now, but I'm sure Eddie could still give him a beat down.
