I wouldn't mind a foolish Ava mob wedding tbh. Idk, it gets tricky with actors leaving and all that, but Sonny would have never let Brenda leave. And when she came back to offer a reconciliation if they moved to Rome he would have jumped on that. Because he's spent the last decade make dumb decisions and having other kids. But on the flip side Brenda should run screaming away from the mess that is Sonny's life and never think about him again so whatever. The scene of Kate remembering her rape lives rent free in my head (not a good thing). Because the whole scene was so disturbing. On a much brighter note, there is a scene where Sonny is visiting Bensonhurst sitting on a stoop and is all messed about Brenda leaving him and a man puts change in his coffee cup because he thinks Sonny is homeless and it's hilarious.😂

I just know from Sonny/Brenda fandom that people loved Brenda when she was with Sonny but the minute VM left it was "KS's Kate is the BEST THING EVER". It's not the female these fans care about-it's whoever is up Sonny's butt at the moment. There's a very specific group of Sonny Fans First that appear to like any pairing he has. Nina is such a mess of a character I am going to assume most her fans just really like Cynthia Watros's work and not anything to do with Nina as a character. TRUTH. Loved OG Kate and Sonny. As a Sonny/Brenda stan that says a lot. It was tragic when Olivia took over the Kate role. And then Kate was recast with Kelly Sullivan.

Totally true. I always considered Carly/Drew as a C level pairing that no one was invested in lol. I know Nina/Sonny have like 5 to 10 vocal fans.😂

I actually can understand Sonny/Nina's fans frustration. I don't know why you'd be a Sonny/Nina fan in the first place, but they really just fizzled out lol. It ended and they barely share scenes at this point. Nina has gone in an entirely different direction and it works for the character. I would suspect these Sonny/Nina fans are more Sonny fans than anything else.

I honestly think JS is pretty good considering I think she's basically a model/influencer. I only know her from America's Next Top Model lol. I think she grown a lot since she was cast. I consider AZ, DF, and GV to be very good soap actors and she holds her own with them. JS isn't entirely there yet, but she's also a decade younger than them and just started doing this.

To be fair, I did defend SM/Sasha a lot in the beginning and always thought she had potential. But I am 100% over it now. Sasha will still always be better than Willow in my eyes though. It's very faint praise. I just think both Donna and James are the cutest kids in the world and I basically dislike all children. Leo is fine too.

Ha! You read my mind about Ava. Wouldn't it just make a lot more sense for her and Harris to move into Wendy/Tripp's apartment than to live side by side upstairs at the Brady Pub? I assume Ava just can't afford the apartment. Has Rita appeared before this week? I was wondering why this sassy assistant just suddenly made an appearance and has a whole lifetime of experience with EJ. Sloan was about 5 feet away from Eric/Nicole and they didn't notice her at all, so I am going to assume they couldn't hear her either. But Sloan yelling that in a public Town Square was not smart. Perhaps we are supposed to think Eric/Nicole's love was just too all consuming to notice space, people, time, etc.

I like the idea so much. Unfortunately, I don't think SM could play that. Maybe a recast Sasha could.

Well, I do agree with that but both those kids are just so adorable. I find them aesthetically pleasing and that's more than I can say for half the cast.

She's Swedish like someone said. The only reason I know is she made a whole post about becoming a citizen. I am just assuming English is her second language lol For all i know she was just born in Sweden and has spoke English her entire life. If this was Guza era GH Natalia would have not only slept with Sonny at this point, but would also already be pregnant with his child lol. Dang! Both Aiden and Georgie were recast? Lol. I agree with whoever said keep James. Love him and Donna. Those are the only two children that need to stay.

That's fair. I still don't really see the point of the character unless she's going to hook up with Sonny or something lol. I am not advocating that or anything but she's pretty lame as far as Kristina/Blaze obstacles. Ha! She does talk slowly, but I always thought it was because English wasn't Sophia Mattson's first language. I am pretty sure Sasha is supposed to be from upstate NY and not from a farm in Kentucky. I really don't know much about upstate NY, so it is entirely possible she just cooked and hung out with horses, but.....seems unlikely.

It's so strange what they are doing to Sasha. Not that she was ever a fully fleshed out character but she seems uncultured? backwoods? country? I am not even sure. As a Deception model for years I would think she would be more chic and modern, but she isn't at all. I think it's supposed to come off humble or something, but it really just makes no sense.

Yeah, and that's why I don't really blame ELR. She seems confused about how to play the character. She doesn't think Natalia is homophobic, but she is. She doesn't think she's bad, but I think she is. It has to be difficult to play a character that is so loosely thought out. It's an experience I thought I'd never have lol. But, honestly, they are entertaining.

I hate both of them, but they are damn entertaining these days lol. At least I can admit I *might* have been wrong about Nina being a complete dead end character. I still am not completely sold on CM as Drew though.

I am pretty sure I recall Marlena referencing it years ago and Kate knows about at least from Lucas's perspective. I think it's safe to think Kate/Roman and Marlena/John at least know about it. I don't believe it was ever referred to as sexual assault on the show either. Not because it wasn't, but because the show was trying to sell Sami/EJ.

That's morbid, so it probably will happen. Anyway, I think PM/EK realize both Sasha and Willow are an issue and boring, so the career changes are at least acknowledging there is a problem there. Hopefully they will realize the characters are dead ends eventually. I don't really know why Willow has had 3 careers when both being a nurse or a teacher were viable enough. I can understand moving Sasha out of Deception because she was never a believable spokesmodel, but I don't think the Q's chef is a solid choice either. As far as Natalia, again, I just think the whole character is badly designed. She's not "evil", but she's not nice and she's not really doing anything. It feels like they cast ELR first and thought about the character second. Drew and Nina continue to be the best part of the show. And I honestly can't believe I typed that.

Lol! I am a super picky eater and I am the worst person in the world to wind up with a French trained chef, but it's been so long he just knows lol. And is like here is some cheese...

Chef's never like to cook for themselves or at home lol. Anyway he's a general manager for a restaurant in Las Vegas. So he doesn't actively cook on the line anymore, but the student loans were A LOT. But it worked out fine for him and me so 👍 If you are going to Vegas or near by you can PM me because he totally would lol.

Full disclosure my husband is a chef. Went to a bunch of culinary schools and all that nonsense. That's not a slow brag. It's how carolineg gets to spend half her time on soap boards lol. NO CHEF WOULD EVER MAKE A CASSEROLE AS THEIR 'try out' MEAL. Like a filet mignon was too hard for you, Sasha? Shrimp Cocktail? A nice charcuterie board?

Meh..I am only on Tuesday and Sasha cooking chicken tetrazzini was almost enough for me to turn it off. This is a story? I think Eva La Rue is doing her best with a character that is just badly conceptualized. She's just walking a line between being homophobic and a smothering stage mom.

See, I find Violet to be one of the most obnoxious child actors ever. The lisping, the precociousness, the singing. Listen, she's a young kid so I wish her the best life off my tv screen lol.

I am for the mother/daughter triangle mostly because it would finally give Willow something exciting to do and it will make Michael sad. I totally get what your saying about Nina/Drew though. They have potential on their own without any extra nonsense. Since my tolerance for Nina, Drew and Willow is on the very low end, I say go for maximum chaos.

Please let it be Violet.🙏

One can only hope.🤞

I don't think NLG is all bad or anything. This is just a situation where she just invites herself to criticism. I have no problem with her supporting Haley in private nor do I think Haley is an awful, horrible, unlovable human. But I just don't get why NLG puts herself in these situations. It seems more trouble than it is worth when Haley was basically going to quietly serve her time and move on.
