Yes I know, and I think it’s tacky to put photos up for people that died in a storyline and their performer is still living. Surrounded by beloved performers that have actually died. And yet, it’s filled almost exclusively with the photos of actual dead people. I had no idea they were putting people like Britt up there.

Oh thanks. Britt? They are actually putting photos up for people still alive in real life? That’s kind of tacky. I think the audience knows that wall is for people that are actually gone.

Can anyone tell me who the woman with long dark hair on the memorial wall is? I just can’t get a good enough look at them. Their photo is almost directly above Bobbie’s now. When Laura was standing there yesterday I just couldn’t figure out who it was. I saw Lila, Amy, Gail, etc but cannot figure out this one.

On Night Shift season 2 Anna wore her original lace wedding dress with Robert from the flashbacks around the time Robin came on, establishing their history. So they do have older garments in their storage, or at least used to. No idea if Bob Miller was there then. I know they thought they had Laura’s dress and discovered it was missing during the dreadful Rick Webber murder storyline.

I didn’t mind Jason/Brenda so much. I just can’t see it as long term. Although if we had gotten to see Sam’s baby story with Brenda like it was supposed to be maybe my mind could have been changed. This does remind me though of Steve telling them they should bring Robin back. And Kimberly agreeing as long as they don’t redo Jason/Robin. The whole point was he wanted her as a love interest again, and she was like nah.

It’s too bad she isn’t as quickly called out as one of the greats in this genre. She clearly wrote incredible material with her partners over the years. Complex writing. I can’t imagine any of those shows without her characters. I saw online someone posted her race to the stage to accept the SB Emmy before JFP could get there. Iconic.

Sad news about Bridget. She was really woven into those first decade plus of the show, first by writing scripts, then taking over from her parents. She was certainly a character herself.

I really enjoyed seeing those two scenes with Stuart Damon and Amber Tamblyn. The bloopers were fun too. Overall it was cheesy, which is fine for these sorts of shows. Much like the regular show it lacked emotion for me. We didn’t see anything truly dramatic represented, just light frothy walk and talks. No sign of Finn though!

Neither of these people look happy! KM is literally leaning away from him! At least he and LW are smiling in the other photos I saw. This is not how you promote something!

Just the good lord and Monavie.

I’m not usually into bashing looks, but he does look like he was starved then boiled. It’s harsh.

I think that was disgusting. But also kind of funny how outraged people seem to be when this is truly mild compared to what used to go down on this show, by Sonny. Like almost all of the 2000’s Guza run, especially women were terribly written for. All these people are scum!

And they were long because Labine used the hour format to let things breathe more, not cram more into it. It was an experiment to her. And Guza inherited a strong writing team that was used to writing those long scenes and filling each episode with depth. Every character had a personality and a point of view, even if they were not explored as well as other characters were.

What cracks me up about the pacing is virtually all well regarded and watched drama on network and streaming pace things out almost painfully. We have a genre that traditionally shows the audience every step, but not Valentini. We have an EP obsessed with speed, and yet also not moving things forward. Doesn’t he watch anything else on tv? He makes almost a clip show and is seemingly embarrassed of anything truly dramatic happening.

Yeah that would have helped. Him saying he was going to bring Bobbie home just felt wrong.

I actually found the scenes between Carly and Drew to be very superficial. The dialogue is terrible and very cliched. Laura Wright is doing a fine job acting what has been given to her, as she always does. But the words she had to say lack character. I appreciate what they are doing. It doesn’t help that I have been watching tons of older Bobbie stuff and what is discussed in the classic thread. I almost wish we would be left with Laura Wright in silence, feeling her emotions while they showed a couple of flashbacks. Because her acting is great, it’s just the lines that are failing them. But letting something breathe is not Frank’s style.

Yeah I know all about her feelings about that story. I believe I read an interview with her that she went right out and said they broke up a popular couple to help prop up JFP’s agenda with the Rappaports. Everyone involved seemed to love CH as Lindsay, and nobody seemed to enjoy working with KB as Sam.

Steve Burton actively tanked Jason/Carly, even to the press. Kelly Monaco tanked her reunion with Jason because she wanted to stay paired with her real life partner, Billy Miller, and then was just mad they wrote him off the show. Truthfully there was a lot of wrangling about couples by the actors on GH through almost all of the 2000’s, especially when JFP was there. Don’t get even started on whatever Sam/Jason/Liz was supposed to be and kept being dismantled by the talent.

Well we have Liz just suffering through another pairing to prop someone that is not working, give Jason to her. @Vee Did HBS and BW not want Bo & Nora? I seem to recall they both complained about the way JFP broke them up. I was under the impression they were in favor of the pairing.

I think Jason should be on the show, and I can’t stand Burton anymore. But I also don’t think a recast works at this point, how does a recast energize this fanbase? The lapsed fans stuff from Varni makes me think he will return. But Ingo is way worse and I hope we draw the line somewhere. I wonder if KM would actively tank the pairing like she did to stay with Billy Miller? Or truthfully did Steve tank it? It’s hard to tell.

I have been watching all the clips people have been posting online of JZ as Bobbie. She really was an anchor for the show. I know she had described feeling lucky that she was often in the counterpoint storyline- you had the action stuff, and then you had Bobbie in the more realistic stuff. The show should have always had a place for Bobbie. It is interesting that we watched both Bobbie and Laura going through a long lost child storyline at virtually the same time, within the same family, and it still was very compelling and didn’t feel like it was the same story. Because they both covered their own territory and beats.

She can have the money, but if I was the show it would be for 2 years, minimum, not a one year or less contract.

I appreciate anything that remembers Lois has a brain, and that she is nothing if not loyal. I know this is just a stopgap appearance, but since she wasn’t in major story this is a return that hasn’t really let me down. She seems like Lois, in character and present. My only complaint, and we have discussed it before, is that Vanessa isn’t here too.

GH- Maxie Jones Boyfriend- Jesse, killed by Manny Boyfriend- Cooper Barrett, killed by the Text Message Killer. Husband Matt, jailed for killing Lisa Niles Husband Nathan West, killed by Faison Fiance Peter August, killed by Felicia Dated Austin Holt, killed by unknown Avoid at all costs!

Exactly.
