I personally hope the show ditches this surrogacy plot all together.  I really don't want to go down the road of Kristina trying to keep the baby.  I would have Kristina lose the baby and have Molly/TJ reassess their baby plans (offscreen).  Kristina would spiral and get messy and sleep with Dex (just to make Joss cry) and Kraze would break up and the show can find a decent love interest for her.

Kraze are getting married and keeping the baby. After they refuse to give up their baby, Molly and TJ will then break up and seek other partners.

They are only starting the Kraze storyline. Kristina can date Blaze and be pregnant at the same time. Blaze being the model for Deception is good for Blaze and doesn't hurt Kristina at all. Kraze is getting married for sure, and they will raise the baby together after Kristina refuses to give to back to Molly and TJ. If Sonny really is done with Nina than he should take up with Natalia instead of Ava.

Kate Mansi has now appeared in 77 episodes as Kristina. That puts her ahead of Lindsey Morgan. Kate is second to Lexi Ainsworth among Kristinas.

Lexi Ainsworth 476

Kate Mansi 77

Lindsey Morgan 76

I kid you not, Heather and Cyrus will be a power couple in the future. They will do fan events together.

Here is how things will go down:

Alexis will become a lawyer again. Her first client will be Heather. There will be much argument among the Davis women over what Alexis is doing. Alexis will win the case and Heather will go free. Many Port Charles residents will be aghast at Heather being among them. Heather and Laura will then become like sisters. While Heather before surgery wanted to kill Cyrus, Heather after surgery will fall in love with Cyrus. Heather and Cyrus will become a couple.

Yesterday's episode made it abundantly clear that the supporting stories inherited from Chris and Dan don't work and need to end quickly:

• Does anyone care about Kristina being Molly and TJ's surrogate? Kristina needs to miscarry and end this mess pronto 
  • On a side note, Kristina and Dante have inappropriate sexual chemistry as siblings...
• Has anyone ever cared about Sasha and Cody?
• Does anyone care that Curtis can walk?
• Does anyone care about The Face of Deception nonsense?
• Does anyone care about any member of the Chase family? This ALS story is boring as hell and with a character most people are not invested in. 

The show only really has Jason's story going for it now, other stories need to get started, and the mess from the previous regime needs to be trashed. 

 

 

I support the surrogacy storyline.

I love Sasha and Cody as a couple.

People do care about Curtis.

I hate Deception but I like Blaze.

I agree about Gregory but I support the other Chases.

CONTRACT DEPARTURES (4)
Nicholas Chavez (Spencer Cassadine) - 1/31 (credited until 3/22)
Avery Kristen Pohl (Esme Prince) - 1/31

They can let go of contract players every 13 weeks. They let go of Avery Pohl with two 13-week cycles (6 months) to go on her contract and let go of Chavez with one 13-week cycle (3 months) to go.

I don't like the Deception company and I wish the Deception storyline was abolished. That said, I am glad the Blaze is being given more of a role on the show. I am also glad that Natalia is still around. I would like to pair her with Sonny.

These are just adjustments, not cuts or adds.

But, supposedly we will be seeing less of Scott, Lucy & Cyrus. 

Seeing more of Heather & Blaze. 

I personally am at least pleased that we may see less of Cyrus!!! 

Will Jacqueline Lopez be made into a contract player? The show needs a female Hispanic player.

I want Kate Mansi to keep pace with Eden McCoy. Kristina should be on as much as Josslyn.

Robert Gossett was the least contract player and he dropped to recurring. Sofia Mattson and Josh Kelly are the next least contract players, so I fear they might be cut from the show.

I agree with the anti-Trina forces. She can go and I would not miss her. The show would not lose anything by her absence.

I am also very concerned about Tristan. He looks frail and gaunt. He has mostly been seated in his scenes. Don't need to google his age, but he is up there and doesn't look well. I almost thought he had some eye work done. Probably did. But this look lately is making me very uneasy about his health. I hope he's okay. Always loved me some Robert Scorpio.

Wonder what's the latest on Mac Scorpio's return (and the actor's health)?

Do you think that the Robert character should be retired? I think so. Have Holly come back and have them ride off into the sunset together.

Do you believe that Pikeman was the anonymous buyer of Wyndemere? I think so. I think that set will be used as Pikeman's base.

I know no one cares, including the characters, but just for finality's sake, where did the show leave off with Austin's murder? 

Also, how annoyed would you be to be Michael right now, having spent $5 million for no reason? Can one get a refund on paying someone's bail? Tax write off?

Pikeman killed Austin and shot Curtis.

I don't think they will recast Spencer right away. They will keep him dead for a while. I want Lulu to wake up before Spencer returns.

I predict that Molly 4 Kristen Vaganos will become a contract player.

I also predict that Sofia Mattson is on her way out. Sasha and Cody will fall in love and then leave town together. A tortured character will receive a somewhat happy exit.

Kristina versus Josslyn is what I want to see. We need more of that in the future. Kristina should be on as much as Josslyn and Michael.

All four Davis women were on today, exactly what I wanted to see.

From her IG Shannon Peace was fired & her last breakdown is, I believe, tomorrow.

 

Is this bad for the black characters on the show?

And a Happy Monday morning to you! 

1. No idea. 2. No idea. 3. corollary to #2: Would not surprise me one bit & makes a ton more sense than the hinky story I heard at the time. 

 

Did Howarth do something to piss off somebody?

I heard two things online and wonder if anyone here can confirm or deny them.

1. I heard that NAC gave an interview in which he trashed GH.

2. I heard that Roger Howarth was fired by ABC executives and that it was over Frank Valentini's head.

But it might just mean that someone new is doing PR for him & they told him unilaterally to "erase" the soap from his internet profile. Someone said he is no longer even following his family but just new people & people affiliated with Ryan Murphy. 

I want to share what one Jex shipper posted to illustrate what this past week was like for them. 

 

Every Jex scene is fast forward material for me. If the show reverses course and brings Jex back together, I will be so disgusted.

Rick Webber 2002

I wish they never did that crap. Rick only ever cheated with Monica. He was not a serial cheater. That was his brother Jeff.

 

He should be alive.

 

I love Sprina but honestly some of the Sprina fans on Twitter

Supposedly NAC unfriended Taby there  and some are like is he whitewashing GH

 

Nope, his twitter still has his GH tweets up from when he began on twitter

 

Some like to be petty and have conspiracy Theories  UGHHH

If NAC unfriended TA that might mean he is done with GH and the show is moving on from him.

It went around ages ago that he scrubbed GH from everything. Also that he made his farewells to everyone at the studio. And whether these are just things going around or there is some kernel of truth driving the paranoia, etc. it's really totally irrelevant. It's up to GH. If they want him back when he finishes filming, supposedly in May, to have him for (I think) 45 days till end of June, they will have him back. If they prefer to go ahead & recast, they'll do that. No amount of fan discussion is going to make any difference! 

Some Sprina fans are delightful.

Then there are others. So, I hear you & I feel ya! 

I thought that Spencer would start airing again in May. You say that NAC might only start shooting again in May, so Spencer's return would then happen in June. They shoot July and August episodes in June, so 45 days of work would end up with 90 days of episodes. NAC would air from June to August.

Not a discussion that we had, except to note that since she said they let her know 6 months ago, that they were likely planning on how they would drop out NAC & so some things seem strange in the way they made use of Esme, Baby Ace, Spencer & Trina, pure fan spec & analysis. 

My personal opinion us that Frank and/or whomever simply did not want to change the character & were willing to lose her instead. Perhaps they had thought amnesia would be effective & when it wasn't they were fresh out of ammo. Why do you think they cut her loose? 

I think that the producers really liked Avery Pohl but the writers didn't know what direction to go with Esme. When the production was dark in July they decided to write out the character when the regular writers returned from the strike. I think they told her she was being let go in August when production resumed. She continued working until December, so the long notice reflects an appreciation of her. I don't think the actress pissed off anybody behind the scenes.
