Cody and Sasha are the most boring couple on the planet.  Of course, she reads Pride and Prejudice.  You think Maxie's dialogue is repetitive?  Sasha and Cody have the same damn conversation every week for at least 6 months now. 

I am actually surprised Jason was revealed so quickly to people.  I certainly thought it would take more than a few episodes for Sonny to find out.

 

I love Cody and Sasha as a couple, but I fear the new writers might send them out of town together. Both characters seem disposable, and neither are tied to the hospital which needs more staff.

GH is barely above 2 million viewers in sweeps month. How far down was that from last year?

Avery Pohl, Tabyana Ali, Evan Hofer, Jacqueline Lopez, and one of the makeup girls.

Heather was right about one thing. I would rather stlll have Esme around than Cyrus.

I like John Cates. I would rather have him around than watch any more of Drew. I hope Drew leaves the show soon.

I predict that Heather will escape and try to kidnap Ace. Cyrus will stop Heather and earn the gratitude of Laura. Their relationship will improve.

I would never call Gregory the peak of excitement lol. I need him to go soon, along with his whole family. But at least Gregory Harrison has some gravitas and grace with JE, etc. and the dialogue has gotten smarter there too. But yes, Maxie's dialogue was also sharper at the Qs during the bridal planning.

I don't expect Gregory to live much longer, but his scenes with Tracy are more interesting than his scenes with Alexis.

I've said it before (and so has Caroline) but I do think it's possible HP could return in the probably distant future after making amends and/or doing her time. Daytime is often very forgiving. I really don't care at present though.

Kristen Vaganos is going to be Molly going forward. She is the better adult Molly. Halley Pullos was good as a kid and a teen but was not convincing as an adult lawyer.

I think the decision to fire the writers was made during the writer's strike. They couldn't do it then because they weren't legally allowed to. Instead, when Chris and Dan came back they were told to finish their storylines and prepare a story for Jason's return. The producers never intended to use their Jason story, and when they presented it that was the point of their firing.

Do you think that Jason is the secret buyer of Wyndemere? I think that it is either him or Cyrus?

I support Blaze because the show needs a female Hispanic character. I support the surrogacy storyline because I love Kristina and Molly. I love the Kraze pairing because Kristina finally gets a love interest. I think what is going to happen is that the tabloid press will out Blaze's relationship with Kristina. Both Kristina and Blaze will be targeted by Sonny's enemies. They will suffer an ordeal together but survive and then want to raise the baby together.

The show has been dark the last two weeks. I imagine that all that March episodes were filmed in early February. When production starts again, will they be doing April episodes, or have they been done already?

On Monday's episode Ava sold off Wyndemere. The Cassadines no longer have a home. Their presence on the show is in peril.

Was NAC aware that they were firing the writers? Would he like to work with the new writers, or would the new writing regime discourage him from coming back?

Heck, me, too. The info that she did is widespread. Maybe even ubiquitous. Like that rumor that Agnes Nixon loaded AW's core family onto a plane & crashed it & them, all dead. 

Also apparently Micheal Easton, at a fan event this weekend, was telling fans that GH has been either gathering their data incorrectly or interpreting it wrong. Speaking of online platforms, whether it is stroke tally or not allowing for bots or multiple accounts, etc. and it caused them to show that Peter August was a success & also that Finn is popular, So, now they know something's wrong but aren't sure how to fix it. If anyone else hears an account of this, please confirm. 

And, last but not least, new information about NAC. Instead of being yes he is gone or no he is returning, the latest info - all new & different - is that they don't know. (WHAT?!!) It is up to them but they can't decide. Jesus, Mary & Joseph, they've been trying to decide "their Cassadine problem" for months now. Maybe it's good because now PM will have input. Some want to go ahead & recast & get underway with the new guy. Some want to squeeze as much out of NAC as they can. 

I would like to start over with a recast. Coming back to life Spencer should have a new face.

Kristina was in the weekly promo released this morning.

Count me as a supporter of Kraze.

Why hasn't the weekly Nielsen ratings report been released yet? Did GH go down again?

Kraze went to bed together! I loved it! Krazy! Everybody should catch the Kraze!

I like Sasha and Cody as a couple. At the same time, I know these two characters are people on the fence that the show could easily cut. Do you think that the new writers will keep them together and on canvas?

I have no problem if the shooter wants to kill all of the mob bosses. I would like there to be less mob.

I think the producers really liked Avery Pohl. They probably told her that but said that the writers didn't know what to do with Esme, so they were letting Avery go. She had a three-year contract but they ended it with six months to go. The long notice that she got reflects their appreciation of her. In the meantime, she did several interviews and never gave the impression she was going to leave. She was at the Daytime Emmys and didn't tell anyone there that she was working on her last scenes.

I also think that the producers decided to fire Chris and Dan during the writer's strike, but they had to come back from the strike for a time until they actually pulled the plug on them.
