Bluesy is a real choice of name lol. But she makes me not hate Charlotte anymore, so that helps her cause a lot.

Ouch! First Abby gets killed by a crane and now Michael calls her an escort. She was a stripper that was going to have sex with Michael for free as a favor to Sam!!! DT must be so happy Curtis got his Laura fix today. I like Ava and Portia's friendship a lot.

Thanks. I saw her in previews so I had time to process

Yes. Kin seems to get grumpy easily lol. Scott really struck out with kids (besides Serena)-Karen was revealed to be his when she was leaving, Logan died, and then he got Franco.

I will say Kin does tend to unnecessarily ham things up and make them wacky, so I could see that being a time waster if the lines weren't called for. To be fair though Kin complains about most the regimes he's worked for so it's not specifically Frank lol.

I still think they show Turner, Ric, and Martin more than, say, Felicia. We know next to nothing about Isaiah, Britt is awful, and Liz has no story except to talk to Willow and be around for Ric, the recurring lawyer. Yeah, the hospital doesn't feel like the main hub for the show. If anything, the PCPD has more action going on.

I believe you are correct. He was having ankle/foot issues, but they showed him in a scooter? saying Scott was injured and I think Kin went on (another) rant because he was let go and not given a real exit.

I don't know who is on contract or not exactly, but we have Liz Portia Willow Britt Isaiah Felicia Lucas You have other fringe characters like Stella, the random day player nurses, and Terry also there. I don't think I forgot anyone. Lawyers ADA bot Turner Molly Alexis Diane Ric Martin And when you add in the police/WSB side of things it's more like Law & Order than Grey's Anatomy lol Willow was "working" up until her arrest pretty regularly. They showed her on shift. I use working in quotes because she was mostly distracted by her personal life or talking to Drew though.

Yeah, I can't really argue with any of this. Most (if not all) of her family doesn't take her seriously. Tracy can be mean and bitter, but she's no fool. You could see Ronnie was a scammer from a mile away. I know I am supposed to believe BLQ is a wonderful, kind person, but she's coming off as a naive idiot. I could understand if the Jacinda actress had some real charisma or potential and knocked it out of the park in the Drew story. I am not discounting the fact you can find real talent in minor, brief roles, but there is literally nothing special about her. And, yes, Curtis, Portia, Jordan will be swapping partners until 2028. I could see the show dumping Isiah before that though.

I think there are too many lawyers. Even if it is the largest cast in daytime 20% of your cast shouldn't be lawyers. There are almost more lawyers than hospital workers. ADA Sonny bot and ADA Molly are redundant. Alexis, Diane, Ric, and Martin end up splitting cases and while that's realistic, there isn't enough story to go around. Plus, it entirely pushed Scott off the canvas. Believe me I am no Kin or Scott fan, but he is an important character and could do the same thing Martin is doing with actual history behind it. I actually liked Martin/Lucy for a minute lol. But again, Scott could have easily taken his spot instead. The show seems scared to pair Tracy with anyone. They teased her with Gregory, a little bit with Cody, and Martin. I don't mind Tracy without a love interest, but it's odd the show drops them as quickly as they start. I wouldn't say he is an Eva La Rue level flop lol. He is a stunt cast day player that outlived his usefulness. GH is full of those characters.

I have never been clear as to what Martin brings to the show. Scotty could basically fill the exact same role and interact with the exact same characters. It's not like the familial bond between Martin and Laura is super important or strong.

The thing is people, including myself, wanted a Jimmy Lee Holt child to show up at some point. There was so much you could mine from that story, but then we got Austin. It's more of a slap in the face because a lot of fans wanted it and Frank thought he was using valuable history while giving Howarth his 15th role. The AMC/OLTL/LOVING crossovers bother me to no end. I know they all exist in the same universe, but we have multiple OLTL/AMC actors playing new parts on the show. Like using the same actors numerous times in different roles, it makes me feel like I am dumb as a fan. As if I didn't realize Sarah Brown is now Claudia or Michael Easton has played 10 roles or Ryan Lavery and Babe are on my screen. I've always felt the show should pick a lane on this. Small winks and nods are fine and using actors from other soaps is obviously fine as well. Just don't pretend everyone knows Erica Kane or Lulu is writing for the Llandview Banner when Vicki's right in front of me playing a different part.

Lol! You really could do anything with her-even give her the Cassadine past that was heavily hinted. I know the audience probably isn't clamoring for a Miranda return and she hasn't been mentioned since 1997, but it was a bit of a dropped story between Mac/Miranda that could fit the timeline better. Plus, it's not like Leslie Horan set the world on fire in the part, so you wouldn't have any real constraints on casting.

Yeah, I don't really get the Anna is kooky or vapid thing. LH doesn't air much, but when she does have scenes with Tony, Marlena, or even Carrie she doesn't seem like that at all. She's often very astute and other characters like EJ and Gabi are calling her tacky, silly, and selfish. When I see no evidence of that. The Horton home shot was odd. I thought the one of the Spectator office was worse though lol. You are telling me that little cubicle is in a high rise, fancy building? I thought it was seriously in a strip mall or something. It's not starting well to be honest. They made Anna seem hysterical and embarrassed when it is actually concerning Tony went missing.

I actually dislike the way the make Anna seem dumb and flighty. She's spoiled and vain, but she isn't stupid. And the show makes fun of her and her design career like she's tacky, which IIRC, was actually quite a successful venture for her in the 80's.

No, it didn't come out of nowhere. Tony mentioned his cruise when he was talking to Gabi/Theo last week. He had his bags by the door saying he was going to Monte Carlo with Anna.

Same. Since he's been in this country for 30 years I assumed he became a citizen at some point, but you think Ingo would have celebrated that. I think he's a dual citizen of Germany/Australia so he may not want to give one of those up. Perhaps he's just very involved because his kids are citizens, but I don't pretend to know what goes on in that man's mind. He could definitely give advice on how to tank a successful soap career though lol.

I am half surprised the show didn't make Miranda Cody's mom because they actually had a murky backstory and Miranda could have easily faked her death because she was pregnant with Mac's baby and not Jax's. I could imagine Frank thinking she's part of the Sonny/Brenda/Jax triangle in the 90's and people will like that lol.

Lol. I am sure FH would do great in the role. The bottleneck of 50-year-old women on the show that are super talented is crazy. There aren't enough love interests or story to go around for them as it is.

I would change Cody's mother as well. Making his mother an unknown flame from his mercenary days makes way more sense than using Dominique. Dominique is long dead, Katherine's dead, Scott's gone, Serena is nowhere in sight, and Lucy doesn't care. At least with unknown mom you could cast someone down the road to stir up trouble for Mac, Cody, and Felicia. Of course the last thing the show needs is another 50 something scheming woman probably played by an ex-OLTLer.

He could be a citizen, but I haven't seen any evidence of that or evidence of him voting on his socials even before he got really MAGA. His kids and wife obviously are though.

Yeah, I wasn't sure if that was still the case. I still don't understand the Australian's MAGA stances since he's not even a citizen in any way I can tell.

At this point I think the show could do that easily. She's involved with Sonny/Jason, but she's not as enmeshed as she's been in the past. Jason and Sonny don't tell her everything and she doesn't tell them everything. Carly hasn't listened to a single thing anyone has said about Brennan before finding out the truth, so I think it would be viable for Carly to put Jax second or third (behind herself and Michael, of course). Jax could be a foe to Brennan, Sonny, and Jason even Drew Parent Joss Be in the mix with Nina and Ava Be friends with Alexis, Ned Scheme with Tracy (again) There's actually a lot of possibilities for Jax on the canvas for once, but, again, I don't know if Ingo's lawsuit is done/thrown out/still going, so I am not sure if the show could even make that move.

I am the only one here that's fine with stable Sonny/Carly like their last marriage for containment purposes. But I would consider recasting Jax. Idk where Ingo's lawsuit stands or if that's even a thing anymore. If you aren't going to bring back AJ I always thought Mesure would have been a solid Jax recast. Even Wagger would have been an okay recast if you just ignore the accent thing. And tbh, Ingo lost most of his accent by the end of his run anyhow. Jax is still relevant to the canvas in many ways. You don't NEED him, but you can use him in several ways (and also I would have paired him with Rena if she didn't leave).

Probably. I feel like Carly would tire of such a wimp in a minute, but I guess we are to think Valentin is the big bad. I know they haven't spent much time on Brennan/Carly, but Valentin/Carly would get play like once a week at the very most. At this point, I'd just cut losses and pair her back with Sonny.
