Anyway...they literally mentioned the secret room today on Days and yes, this show needs a Kristen lesbian story lol.

I am sure "no one cares" and it's not a big deal to some people, but this thread is full of certain posters calling out women's ages, their viability to have children at like 35, and their nail polish, but we celebrate everything Chandler Massey does and applaud any male shirtless scenes. And then posters walk back being like it's just a joke and weren't serious lol.

No. I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well. That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.

Lol. Right? I mean the show could have framed the 60th anniversary in a different way, but the narrative was celebrating Tom and the hospital. Also, what a weirdly sexist bunch of posts about women's nail polish. Like, yes, this is Days problem lol. Stacy Haiduk isn't a good Kristen because she doesn't wear nail polish? Are we in the 1950's???

I prefer SM too. I actually thought she had better chemistry with NAC. That being said Tabyana is a very good recast and the better actress. She definitely has a wider range than SM although I think Sydney could have grown into the part. At the end of the day both actresses are more dynamic and interesting than Eden's Joss.

The best thing Sidwell has said his entire run 😂 There was a way to write this Britt/Rocco bond if GH felt it had to and believe me, I don't think Britt should be within 10 feet of that boy. Rocco could have felt left out or neglected because of Lulu's focus on Charlotte and learned the truth about Britt. Britt and Rocco could have slowly started to interact with Britt even trying to keep her distance, but ultimately being someone Rocco would vent to. There was no need for proclamations from the Obrecht clan or Britt herself that she was his "mom" and the relationship could have developed naturally. But of course, GH went in the opposite direction, and I don't think any viewer enjoys this story.

It's odd because the writing is almost making it a soft retcon. Like Britt did this out of the kindness of her own heart and was maternal? The facts still remain the same, but people in PC are acting like Lulu/Dante are being unreasonable.

Britt can randomly have feelings for Rocco. That's on her being a bit crazy. People validating those feelings like she's not crazy and has a say is the problem.

No, it's weird. Britt stole Lulu/Dante's embryo and had Rocco to hold on to Robin's husband Patrick. There was nothing maternal about it even if she did raise him for a few months before her scheme unraveled. She was a surrogate to Rocco due to criminal behavior. She has no right to say anything about Rocco at all. Until this current return Britt has never even shown any concern about Rocco since she had to give him up to due the whole breaking the law and denying any autonomy to Dante/Lulu regarding their embryos.

It makes Belle look a bit petty. She slept with Sami's ex-husband and the father of Sami's kids. Sami also, on the surface, seems to be trying to improve herself and make better life choices. With John's passing, I feel like Sami/Belle should embrace one another as family. Also, Tate could have possibly ask his uncle Paul if he wanted kids because it seems like he and Andrew would have adopted Sophia's baby if the option was given. Amy probably wouldn't have approved, but it would be relatable as Paul is half Asian as well so he would have some cultural understanding for Baby T.

They did at least on a surface level. I feel like that was the first time the show made it seem like Sami/Belle had a long history of being at odds though and always had a tenuous relationship. And I never thought that was the case.

Belle/Sami were fine once KS was brought in as an aged up Belle. Things got rocky when Sami returned during the shoot the bride Marlena/John wedding and it didn't come out of nowhere, but was ramped up to the extreme. The show pretends that Sami/Belle never got along. I would disagree with that though. I think it was a way to try to recreate the Sami/Carrie feud, tbh.

You hit the nail on the head about the actress's lack of charisma. The show didn't need a big name for Michael's love interest. Everyone starts somewhere. The arc ended for Jacinda and there was no reason to bring her back. There is nothing special about this actress at all. Nothing from her looks, to her acting, to her chemistry with Rory stand out. She's not even comically bad. She's just there. All GH had to do was cast a wider net for actresses in their late 20's to early 30's and let Mark Teschner do his job. Paige Herschell can't be the only actress in Hollywood that works for cheap lol. Or, you know, GH could dump a few recurring players and shell out some money for their younger leading man's love interest as well lol.

I think it's the smirking. Lol. I agree Chandler never seemed (seems) unhappy. He just doesn't care that much or has moved on. He likes the fun little few days and is happy to go back to his regular life after.

Modesty lol. The point isn't getting across though because Willow, Maxie, Lulu all look like relatable humans while BLQ looks like a mom from an early 90's sitcom.

I would hold off on recasting Sami. AS is pretty iconic and is still willing to return so I wouldn't move on that yet. Chandler is like Chad Duell to me. They were good, but got bored and disinterested as they got older.

I actually like some of Alexa Havin's outfits (not todays), but it seems like they dress her very casually while the show wants to project Brook Lynn as being very put together and fancy-even if she looks worse. Setton has never met a satin long sleeve button up blouse she didn't like.

I know you've said this before but she's always looked frumpy to me. I think her hair has been better but she has always projected a bit matronly. But I may be just thinking about the Ugly duckling/Princess Sabrina era and it was for contrast.

Britt has never been super sexy. Or sexy at all. She's always been shopping at the Gap for the worst blazer suits, but if she was an actual pleasant person with a tiny bit of charisma you could overcome some of that.

I have personally never got the Chandler Massey obsession. He is ok and has good chemistry with Ali and Deidre, but he mostly smirks his way through scenes? To me he's decent, ok looking guy that could easily be recast because Will as a character should be onscreen. Chandler has a regular job so it's not like the show would be hurting him if they recast.

They should have intercoms or something lol. Do they just call one another when dinner is ready? It was an obvious case of tape blocking because Dante was there too for part of the episode, but didn't see Lulu or his mother. Did anyone even mention calling Tracy? Someone may have and I missed it.

Oh, I am sure there is crossover on these boards. I did look at JS's hair today and thought it was exceptionally poofy so maybe I am falling for this theory lol. Wasn't Brook Lynn upstairs when Olivia found out about Ned? Lol. She couldn't have told her? Or at least checked if she was home? The fact that Nathan and Chase are going to partners makes me fear I really will consider them the same character. Michael being savage with Nina was great, but I think we can all agree Jacinda is not.

JS/Chase's hair looks perfectly normal? I honestly have never truly paid attention to it or him though lol. Drew is entertaining, but the show may have gone a bit too far with him. He should at least have a few redeeming qualities or at least pretend to in public. The thing about DA bot and Sonny, aside from them being horrible, is a lot of their meet cute interactions don't fly in 2025 because there were about 10 other ways DA could have gotten her tire changed without having to try to do it herself and walk to Sonny's. I know the show thinks it 1995 still with Sonny, but with phones, internet, uber, etc. it only makes DA lady look dumber than usual. Plus, adding a kid in to try to make her likeable doesn't work no matter how adorable Donna is. Portia just really doesn't know how to stop making the same mistakes over and over. As much as I like Gio and Emma, why are Charlotte/Rocco their accomplices? Honestly, what is Emma even trying to get from the lab? The research?

Well, at least it's easy for Mo to remember the dialogue since he's said the same thing to every love interest since 2003 lol.

Haha! There have been a few rumors throughout the years about the DH/SR issue, but all I can say is the dynamic changed once Deidre/Drake returned in 2011. It's a shame because those two actually did seem like they were close offscreen and it's sad Marlena/Maggie aren't able to be there for one another as longtime, dear friends on the show. As far as Chappell/KA, they both seem unlikeable to me lol. KA is just less messy than CC and her wine fueled rants. At the end of the day these women are way too old to be that petty, but I lowkey find it hilarious.
