Ha! Ha! I forgot Rocco even existed. If the show just decided to recast both with 20 year old bland hunks I would absolutely not know the difference. Same.

I agree. I was just thinking Sam was conning and marrying several men by the time she was 25, so by nature she might be the problem. For the life of me I can't remember any substantial Danny/Jason scenes at all, so I guess the entire parenting narrative on Jason is open. I think we are gearing up for Danny to be a problem child for Jason/Sam and it would help if I could even recall what Danny looks like.

Okay fair. I never thought about Sam really leaving that world behind because Sam parenting is zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz to me. But I guess she's dating a cop now, so her trajectory is upward. I just wouldn't necessarily say Danny's behavior is tied to Jason. I'll allow it because it seems like the show is trying to at least tie some of Jason's risky behavior into all this. I just don't know how big a part of Danny's life Sbu's Jason ever was.

That..doesn't correlate at all to me. Underage teen drinking is pretty normal and does not equal hitman in the future to me. I guess they are starting the Jason stuff now and not the episode before he shows up so I can appreciate that. Also, is Sam not an adrenaline junkie as well?

Yes, but i was thinking Jason raising Danny to be like his Stone Cold persona. 🤦‍♀️ 😂

I think you could maybe suggest nurture vs. nature on this, but I haven't seen the episode yet.

You know, I just got so excited about Steve Burton I click Submit too soon on here😂

Sorry I had to edit real quick. I was working on my other tab open lol. Fixed

I think SBu was pretty hot until about 2003 ish. When he bulked up so much it just looks weird. He's not in bad shape his neck is just huge and he's looks so red/tan/not sure these days.

Yeah, that was my immediate thought. I should probably wait till something actually airs, but it's not anything we needed or asked for. At least she's not a Brenda recast or something, but, honestly, at least that's an actual significant role that people would be interested in.

😂 I don't know, but Steve Burton's neck is the size of a small buffalo and does freak me out.

Oh, I know. Sometimes I get bored lol. I understand it gets confusing since some characters exist throughout ABC soaps and some either don't or the actors are playing new characters. It's best to just work on GH and it's history and this current show. I think bringing in characters from other soaps at this point would alienate many GH viewers and would only bring in a few lapsed OLTL or AMC viewers. I know the shows are still missed and discussed, but it's been over a decade. Most people have moved on.

Nope. It's not GH's duty. Is it Days duty to bring on former AW actors because it's the last soap standing? No. Keep GH as GH. I, as a GH fan, would not clamor for Brenda Barrett to show up in Llandview just because I miss her. It would make no sense.

General Hospital does not need to become a super soap lol. I am familiar with AMC and OLTL, but GH has always been my favorite. I don't need Maria on GH. There are plenty of characters from GH's history they should bring back. I don't need the Santos family transplanted to Port Charles. I'd rather the show figure out how to cast Lucky or Lulu instead or figure out a way to use Lois properly.

And Steve Burton isn't even back on air yet. There won't be room for half the cast after Jason starts appearing.

Definitely. I would just like to see more cast departure announcements than cast additions at this point lol.

Love the episode! Loved the flashbacks. I didn't even hate Theresa and Alex sharing scenes with John/Marlena that much. Lol at Marlena saying everyone knew John/Marlena were more than friends after that dance. Way to make the fact you were married to another man and having an affair sound romantic!! So, I know this has nothing to do with the episode or anything, but why do Steve/Kayla have all those yoga magnets on their fridge? I thought it was Stephanie being obnoxious, but I noticed them there when she was living with Chad. Who does yoga in that family? Lol.

Yeah, I should just wait and see. I just have a knee jerk reaction to these cast announcements and I see who they are playing and just ask why? It reminds me of Tamara getting cast as freakin Oscar's mom and the entirely wasted character of Kim Nero. I know, I know, new regime and all, but I am still traumatized by that lol. Violet would be my first sacrifice.

I don't have high hopes. I get so frustrated with GH casting because they add and add and add people that don't feel necessary. I like Blaze/Kristina, but I don't think the romance is an A level story and I don't think ELR needs to be the homophobic mother. How far can a character like that possibly go? She learns the error of her ways and ends up romancing Sonny lol? I guess I'll wait and see and if the cast starts getting trimmed I will shut up.

What? I am not sure what your point is and I honestly don't even know what career making actress vista means. I think it's a waste of money and a waste of Eva to play a C character's homophobic mom. There are plenty of obstacles for Blaze/Kristina as is. I really don't understand this shows casting decisions. This isn't a knock on ELR, but if GH wants to shell money out for a bigger name they should figure out a better character for her.

I know I said upthread I like Blaze just fine, but we don't need ELR as her mother! I seriously don't know how this show affords all these actors. And it just going to be another useless character taking up airtime. I like ELR and all, but is she the go to mother character for any Hispanic actress on soaps now?

I assume it's the 100,000 dance? Roman was working late and supposed to make it at some point, but never did. He heard about the dance the next day and was angry, but wasn't really suspicious anything was going on between John/Marlena.

Leo actually has a purpose so I don't mind him and he does good work. I just like Donna because she is an absolutely beautiful little girl. There's no rhyme or reason for it. Just like I like Ace because he's such a big, cute little baby. I am not invested in any of these kids tbh.

Works for me. I never found that child cute, but I don't find any GH children cute except Donna and James. And mostly because I think Donna is the most adorable child in the world, not because I actually like her.

I personally like James, but I would basically rather watch anyone but Violet lisp along being completely insufferable. Hayden doesn't want custody yet?
