I found the Sean/Tiffany stuff quite depressing personally. Not a bad story, but very exhausting. Although I think the Lucas custody story could have played out longer and maybe more interestingly with BJ dying and the fallout from that. I guess even Labine wouldn't keep kicking Bobbie when she was down though-until her own daughter steals her husband lol. It felt like Sean was still around a bit with the Frank Smith/Sonny mob stuff, but Tiffany hardly ever appeared. By the time they left I remember thinking they had already departed lol. For some reason I could see Robert being involved with the Frank Smith/Puerto Rico action. I am not exactly sure how so I am not adding anything relevant. There was still quite a bit of action/adventure on that side of the canvas. I, mean, to me putting Robert in that orbit is less weird than him being the D.A. of Port Charles like his is today.

Idk, that Jackie Cox stuff felt like pure filler. The entire conversation with Dmitri just happened. It didn't affect anything. It was a just a waste of time. But I guess that sounds like Ron too. Hard to tell.😂

I've always spelled it Stefan. The character's wiki supports that.

I don't mind Gabi and always liked CB, but I don't feel a need for a recast. Gabi hasn't done anything noteworthy in months. It's a shame that CB was treated badly-I just don't know where else Gabi has to go on the show. Her and Stefan stupidly plotting for Dimera was not interesting.

Thanks! I am the worst when it comes to credits and an actor's status. Stefan seems like one of the more isolated characters on the cast, so it will be interesting to see what he does next. Well, probably not interesting lol, but I guess the show has plans for him.

I think Robert/Anna would have fit quite well into the Stone/Robin stuff, but I am not sure if either of them would have wanted to be the supporting player in the story. I agree it's more difficult to place Robert in 1993 with Luke becoming more of a family man and what not. I do think he could have been tied into the Luke/Sonny/Mob crowd in some way.

Oh, that makes sense. I actually didn't consider a recast. They put BB on recurring though so is the plan entirely scrapped?

I think Holly/Johnny/Tate/Chanel would work better if it wasn't so lopsided. I know Johnny isn't going to dump Chanel for high school aged Holly. Chanel has no reason to be jealous or even threatened by Holly. Tate just wants Holly, so we are just watching a very predictable story play out. All the actors are likable in this, but I feel like I am just waiting for Holly to get over this crush and fall for Tate. I know soaps are built on stories like this-I just feel like this one is especially juvenile. On another note, is Gabi going to get a trial or go to court for killing Li? I know Camila is gone, but is there ever going to be a resolution to this story? Who actually killed Li? I am actually offended on Camila's behalf that her last episode was just Gabi being carted off to jail for an indeterminate amount of time. This story feels like it was dropped completely.

I don't think insurance pays for IVF even on yourself. I may have bad insurance but I am pretty sure it's an elective procedure. Especially if it's on someone else. No clear idea though. Seeing the cost, I should have rented out my womb years ago lol.

Hmmm...it seems cheaper to adopt. I know surrogacy is more relevant, but I have never met anyone who went through that process.

So this is super morbid, but if Andrea lost the baby do they still have to pay that much?

Yeah, my sister has been a lawyer for years and isn't rich. I can see that, but I think the optics of their careers make it more believable than how it actually looks on paper. Like, I personally bought it without too much thought. I am not saying you are wrong, but I was just thinking they lived pretty modestly and had some savings.

I have almost flip flopped my stance on this. The girl probably gets so much hate from keyboard warriors as it is. It's.....not that big of a deal. Maxie could look more presentable, but it's just not the point anymore. He's a doctor and she's a lawyer. They seem to live a pretty sustainable life without luxury. I don't think it's that crazy. I assume they have savings and 401K's and stuff. And their surrogate lost the baby pretty early on. I don't think they paid her the entire cost.

Oh definitely. It's just icky to put that out there and I started the discussion and I am over it now. It is what it is, but it's certainly not KS's big butt that makes matters worse lol.

Thanks! I don't think you or 99% of the board is trying to fat shame KS. It's just a delicate situation. I think she herself is uncomfortable with her weight and wears unflattering things to maybe "cover" it up. It's just a shame she makes herself look bad. Because it's nice to see a regular woman on tv. She's a beautiful woman. I have grown up with this girl. It is just sad no one on set can convince her of that or give her flattering clothing. And I do think if KS can't handle the situation it might be time for her to have a break and give Maxie a break as well.

Agreed. Days has had some egregious SORASing (see EJ) and this aging seems okay to me. Figuring out Will, Belle, Paul, Brady's ages is so difficult and wonky that Tate/Holly don't seem bad at all. It's not like we saw Tate or Holly as kids often anyhow.

It doesn't bother me at all? Lol. Not to argue but I think if Belle can have an adult daughter that's in her late 20's both Brady/Nicole can have older kids. EJ's kids are grown ups too. It seems to fall slightly inline with the rest of the SORASing. It's Days so I am a little bit more lenient on believability here.

I love Carly most of the time. This is coming from Brenda Barrett's biggest fan, so that's saying a lot. I don't even mind Sonny/Carly as a romantic couple. I just think Nina acts stupid most of the time and she isn't in the wrong to turn Carly/Drew in for an actual crime they committed lol. I want someone, anyone, to put Michael in his place. I loved Chad Duell when he first was cast but now I can't stand his smug face. I don't like the idea of Kristina being the surrogate, but I think we all knew it was headed there once they sorted out the Molly actress. James/Georgie are my two fave GH kids. I really hope Violet leaves forever. As far as KS/Maxie-I am just going to leave it alone. My comments end up getting fat shaming replies and that really isn't my point. Yeah that's my point about Sonny. He isn't stupid. He is supposed to be smart and savvy and mileage may vary on that lol. Michael was practically giving Nina a death stare the entire time Sonny was talking about baseball tickets. Sonny isn't that oblivious.

I don't know what to say. I started this conversation so I'll finish it. KS isn't fat. Nothing about her physically is wrong. The dressing choices are bad. The end. Her "huge" butt isn't the problem at all. I have apparently circled back on my entire rant because fat shaming for no reason is just mean. I am top heavy with skinny legs. I was just saying it really matters how you style yourself because it's not the easiest body to style. I have worked in high end fashion my entire life so I am not just talking at random about this.

I disagree. It's probably disgusting to talk about this girl's body like this, but KS is very top heavy. She carries her weight in her top half not the bottom.

I think everyone knows I hate Nina, but I wish she would just bitch slap Michael. I know-violence is wrong, but he is so effin annoying. Molly's baby plans are just weird. Chill for a minute, girl. I love child James. He's adorable. The opposite of the annoying Violet... Also I hate when Sonny is written to be dumb. I like Sonny. I know that's unpopular, but I hate when he's written so dumb that he can't figure out social cues. Michael was squirming in his seat and Sonny was talking about Yankee tickets.

Yeah, I can see the Sydney argument, but I love the actress. She's kinda clunky on delivery right now and that's why she reminds me of 1992 Vanessa. There's charm and charisma to spare with her. I think she's a great find. I think Tate's okay too, but I think Holly really is the find and the next lead of Days. And, yeah, it's too soon too tell, but I like her.

She probably would have been better cast as Sydney, but the Sorasing doesn't bother me. Days effs up Sorasing all the time and it's not illogical for Nicole to have a teenage daughter. Parker and Sydney should show up, but I am okay with Arianna aging in real time. Chandler and Camilla aren't that old lol. I just find that Ashley Puzemis adds a little bit of humor to her scenes. She seems like a real teenager with her dumb fantasies. But she's very savvy and smart too.

Dmitri looking at the pics of Leo/him as ghosts....😂 They paused to go into a photo booth? Dead...... I love the actress that plays Holly. She's green, but she's extremely charming. She reminds me a little of early Vanessa Marcil. And I don't throw that out lightly. She's just got something about her that makes me think she could be a star.

Yup. It's the loose fitting blouses she wears that are unflattering. Shapeless garments make her look bigger than she is. KS probably doesn't want to define her shape, but it would help. She looks like a big piece of voluminous fabric with legs some days. But I feel tacky making fun of her at this point. I think everyone understands what I am trying to say with this.
