Thanks! I do remember him on OLTL. I do respect anyone that quits acting and goes off to business school rather than playing a character named Wyatt the boy scout into adulthood.

After hearing the song, he should probably hone his craft a bit more. Also, I have no idea who Wyatt the Boy Scout is. I even googled him and read his little character bio and still have no idea. I was watching the show at the time, so I either blocked him out or thought he was one of Maxie's wayward children or something.

That's a really good point. I don't know how I would describe Lexie to a new actor either. You could read the character bio and be like WTF? I suppose I would rely heavily on James Reynolds for his input. I am sure he has some useful thoughts about what Abe loved about Lexie The whole plot was a mess, so it's not her fault. I just found NC's decision to play Lexie almost unlikeable to be wrong. Even if the dialogue failed her I do think she could have shown more vulnerability or insecurity about stepping back into her old life 15 years later. Crawford came off so cold. Renee Jones at her worst never did.

At this point the only thing I know about Scout is that she likes to swim A LOT. When is the swim a thon for charity? It's almost September in upstate New York.

Idk, I think it was clear NC didn't do any research about Lexie or the character and just was there to get the job done and collect her paycheck. That's fine and it's clear she was miscast. The writing was poor, but I don't think she did anything to elevate the material either.

Wow, today's show was boring. I have no idea why the teens are so effing weird and creepy. From Rocco telling Laura he secretly meets with Scout to Danny saying he'd watch Scout while she was swimming in case she gets a cramp and can save her, to incest cousins Danny and Charlotte planning another ill advised scheme it's all so strange. Why does Jordan's bedroom look like she lives in a steerage cabin on a ship? It's so dark and her only light is a weird circle porthole looking window. And, well, Sidwell. ☹️

I feel like the audience was pro-Jaxis as well. Chloe didn't flop as hard as Hannah and we've discussed our appreciation for Tava Smilley, it was too much too soon for the character and pairing. I would have given Jax and Alexis a shot back then-even a short fling. It's a shame how things ended up because Jax/Alexis's friendship was always a relationship I enjoyed and the show has tried to form similar friendships like that with Finn and Curtis and they haven't been as effective. I don't think Steve ever thought anyone but KMc was up to his level acting wise. I don't necessarily think he should have played against the SJB Carly pairing, but I do see his point about the Carly character.

Add that to the fact Lulu's kids are actual minors and Danny crashed the boat (mildly) the last time he took the boat out with her. Carly and Valentin have put their kids in multiple criminal crossfire situations, but Lulu is a loser with no life because she doesn't want her teenage daughter on a boat with another teenager at night. Idk, maybe Lulu is processing the fact her last boyfriend was an imposter and not rushing for the next hookup like you two bozos? It's more galling because one is literally a man that violated her and took her embryo without her consent and the other is (was) her close family relative and friend. I am on Joss's side here too. I still think there's always subtle Joss propping on GH, but if it's against Britt, the most propped character ever since her return, I will take it.

I can't lie. When Valentin and Carly told Lulu to get a life because SHE was too obsessed with her kids I laughed out loud. It was the least self aware thing ever from the notoriously hands off parents Val and Carly. This is like the third time this week I have been on Joss's side so the world is off kilter.

I don't really care if Sonny/Carly end up back together. I don't think either actor wants it though. It would probably be best for containment purpose alone At least the show is trying something with Valentin/Carly although I don't endorse it. Sonny's been treading water with the DA for, what, a year or two? Do the romance or don't. You can't expect anyone to even try to be invested in the pairing if Donna is the only one that cares about it lol.

Exactly. She did work for Phillip, right? Or did she even start that job lol? Dimera could be messy with Johnny/Chanel as well. She's too isolated whining about Kelsey when it seems she was fine raising her without Alex before.

That makes sense. It's difficult to decipher Joy's backstory because she acts like her upbringing was terrible yet it doesn't seem like she's ever had a real job (besides the soap that should not be named) and she's relied on other people's support her whole life. I know she's ill currently, but she hasn't made a single move to get a job since she's been in Salem. She could at least work at the Pub or something.

I don't understand the Nancy bashing either. It's not adding to Joy's story IMO and it's the opposite of what we saw onscreen with Nancy and Craig. I assume Nancy and/or Craig were supporting Joy and Kelsey before she came back to Salem. How awful can Nancy be? Joy lets the man that broke up her parents marriage watch her daughter!!

I personally like crazy Willow, but I am not sympathetic to her. Sure, her upbringing was bad and all. It wasn't a problem for like the first 8 years she was on the show. She was never fleshed out enough and that excuse was tacked on later. Michael's troubles have been seen on screen and were spoken about for a million years. Willow doubles down on crazy town and uses her past as an excuse. She's not willing to get help. Michael at least seems to realize he's not always right and is shady. Fair enough, but does anyone want DA/Sonny together? lol

I don't love Liz/Dante and used to love Ric/Liz in their early days, but I think the ship has sailed for Liz/Ric. There's just too much water under that bridge. I wouldn't be upset if Ric/Liz ended up together, but Dante is obviously the better choice at this point in her life. On another topic why does Donna like Justine so much? Donna may be cute, but she has poor judgement. Don't most kids scheme to get their own parents back together? Not hook their father up with a random lady?
