It's always looked awful, limply hanging there or oddly styled. I don't necessarily dislike Liz/Jason. I prefer them to Jason/Sam when those wars were going on, but I never felt strongly either way. Don't worry my board profile pic stays til Vanessa comes back lol.

I don't think she's even changed it once since she started 12 years ago. I thought she was 40 back then lol. Hope dies last. That's why I still pretend the show will bring Brenda back one day.😂 The fact that fan base is so crazy probably makes reality easier to ignore though.

I left the Gay Icon part out because you and I never believed that was true. I have seen how she styles her hair!! The thing is while it was a ridiculous set up by Ron I actually was rooting for Britt at first. Mostly because the writing was slanted against her so badly and Sabrina was so annoying. I also assumed both Sabrina and Britt would be gone 2 months after Kim returned, but I guess Britt hung on even with Kelly constantly quitting. I know, I know- Steve. I would rather they put Jason back with Liz now that Lucky's gone.

KT is an icy actress and it works in certain scenarios. The character nor the actress inspire much sympathy, and KT isn't charismatic enough to pull off lukewarm writing. Spending an entire episode watching her throw a tantrum over not getting a beer and seafood outside instead of in her room comes off childish and petty. I don't see Britt as a victim, but the show has piled things on to her to make her likeable (incurable illness, Jason😑). She's more likeable as a schemer. Add that with all the exposition we are getting from everyone about Britt and I am already over it. This is the return of a B list character, not Robin Scorpio.

I wish Willow/Drew/Michael were on today. Believe me, I never thought I would type those words lol. Too many people talking about Britt today and I still don't care. Can't Britt literally open the door of her room, step outside, and call an uber or walk? She's not locked in and already made it to Paris on her own. And Alexis's assistant having a crush on Sonny? Blah. I found the entire show pretty boring. Lucas/Felicia were nice though.

Yes, you are right. I got the Brady, Belle, Paul order confused. Paul was conceived post-Maison Blanche, but Tori found out she was pregnant while John was a priest. So John got Isabella, Marlena, Tori, and Kristen in around 4 years lol.

I mean he should be chronologically, but he was paired with younger guys so I always thought he was more Will's age than Belle/Brady's. Which Will was born a year or so after Belle so who knows?

I really liked MW's Kate. She was probably the last love interest I liked for Sonny. The recast was a mess though.

At the time I remember the show making it very clear they didn't grow up together, weren't blood related, and Alexis basically kept Kristina away from Michael/Sonny/Carly, so it could have happened. Especially if Michael decided to move more into the Q fold. Drew Garrett and Lexi had some chemistry. I am sure it would have been a disaster but it would have been a memorable disaster unlike whatever happened during James Franco's run.

I agree with Chloe, but she could always be Phillip's endgame so I do consider that. I think all John/Marlena/Roman's kids seem the same age lol-except Paul- who does seem younger.

All makes sense. Franco really derailed the show that year. I would have been at least interested to see MB's take on Valentin, as I am sure the role was completely different than whatever we have now. It was a mistake not to bring Zoe or even a few other teens on. It was odd to me they just aged Kristina and Michael, so the two of them basically only interacted with one another in their age bracket. That's why the audience thought they might go there with Kristina/Michael lol.

I liked them too when Eileen came back as Kristen. I never thought they were endgame though. Kristen definitely needs a fresh start preferably not in Salem lol. She just looks pathetic running after Brady at this point.

I think the problem with Brady is the show spent WAY too much time trying to make him/Kristen some sort of endgame. The show has given Brady so many love interests as well that you end up with Brady being 50, single, and living with his mom, sister, and his kids lol. John, Bo, Steve, etc were all well established with their endgame pairings by 50. I'd prefer him with Chloe, but I'd take Theresa.

My point was that Brenda is the original-the others were replacements. Although I don't put Claudia in that category at all. Even though SJB was playing a second character I thought Claudia was fairly original. She was more similar to Faith than any of Sonny's previous love interests. Agreed. It would be a great time to explore Rory's chemistry with new love interests. It doesn't appear he's the chemistry vacuum Chad was. I still wonder how far a long they got with casting Zoe. I remember the character being mentioned in interviews and on the show, but never appearing. I suppose Guza ditched the idea early on when he really couldn't figure out what to do with Maya.

I think Rory Gibson is great. But the writing for Michael has gotten much better since Chad left.

I am not an Italian American, but I dislike the name Rocco. I can't see Lulu being strongly attached to an Italian name like that even if Dante was. Plus it reminds me of the old cartoon Rocko's Modern life lol. I think Josh Kelly makes Cody work more than the character on paper does. He's a likeable actor. I like TR better than Bellow, but like you stated, he did impress me with the Irene stuff. Oh, no worries. Just not my favorite scene to re-visit. The begging, the violence, the whole breakup was just rough. I have seen it a million times of course. I think VM and MB have done several interviews about it and their motivation and the way the scene was played made sense. It just doesn't hold up well and Sonny has repeated the same mistakes for years now.

Yeah, it's strange because I don't dislike KV, JK, or Molly and Cody. I keep wondering why they are still around getting airtime more than anything else. I am entirely indifferent to them and that's worse than me hating them. I still say Cody is salvageable, but he's been wasted this long and is so I doubt anything will change.

The show is obviously trying to prop Britt and her actions. If I was writing the show I would stay away from the Rocco/Ben topic almost all together if I wanted Britt to look good. Have Britt show remorse, apologize for her actions, and move on to whatever her next story is. Nothing about the narrative that Britt was a caring, loving "mother" that made mistakes works in the context of the Lulu/Rocco/Dante story. The only thing Rocco has a right to be upset about is the fact Dante/Lulu changed his name from Ben to Rocco lol. They should have just given TJ/Molly a happy ending and had them start over somewhere new. You could always bring them back in a few years. Molly brings nothing to the show at this point. She wanders around town talking to family, talking about legal cases, and sometimes flirting with Cody. In fact, if we are talking about Alexis's daughters, Sam probably had the most purpose of the 3 with Jason and Lulu returning and got killed off lol. And I think everyone knows how I feel about Sam/KeMo.😂 True and fair. But at least I can acknowledge they were a toxic mess!!! I still love them, but some stories and scenes are cringe watching as an adult.

Yikes! That's a really hard scene/episode to get through to this day because of all the things and Sonny practically hitting her. @Antoynewill appreciate me calling that out. Because I remember Sonny manhandling her and her begging at the door and a year or so later Sonny telling Brenda he was going to hit her. And her response was...but you didn't. It doesn't age well lol. Let's focus on sexy Alley kiss scenes instead.

I was neutral on TJ at best. He never got a clear point of view and very little time was spent on he and Molly's relationship even though they were together for years. Once Tajh Bellow got a chance to act and give a perspective about Kristina and the baby he was just dumped. And the show should have stated TJ left to start a new life instead of apparently working in the unfilmed part of GH. He and Molly should still be trying to work things out even if they eventually parted, but Molly just moved on with all of that and is trying to get into Cody's pants. Which, I get, but it gives her even less depth than before because I always believed she cared very deeply about TJ, their relationship, and their potential family.

I think the entire erasure of TJ gets me the most. I am not even a huge fan of TJ, but it was Molly's partner for like a decade and he just disappears so Molly can be paired with a white hunk the show has no idea what to do with? If there was a triangle or at least some wariness on Molly's part to enter a new relationship after all those years it would be better. Being embarrassed about a book and jealous of Ava/Cody isn't intriguing. The lack of closure with TJ/Molly bothers me when TJ just works on the other side of the hospital apparently. When it was done it was so done.

Which is totally fine-ETA-not for the people he scammed obviously😂. I like Cody, but Molly clearly has done a lot in her life and shouldn't be ashamed or have to hide something from a man to make a romance work. It just makes Molly look basic. Tween Molly would have bookmarked and highlighted passages for Cody to read before he could even by her a drink lol.

I am just so over taking all the quirks out of Molly. Sure, people grow up and Haley was obnoxious af as a tween, but for Molly to be embarrassed about having two romance novels published when she was young just so she can catch Cody's eye is so demeaning for a character I don't even care much about. What exactly has Cody done in his life? Stole an embryo without either donor's consent and tried to pass the baby off as another mans for her own gain-not because she desperately wanted a child. This is not even a debate for the show, but again it is. Britt is not a mother, she's a kidnapper, she's not a good person, a person who should be around Rocco, or even have a medical license. The odd antiquated GH concept that Britt was something more than an incubator is so wild.

Oh, Willow. She does seem relatively coherent-ish today. Kai and Trina plus Joss...................💤 FakeMaxie...........😑 Laura/Rocco having a convo to prop Britt😑 Drew/Michael was okay. I am kinda judging Michael for just figuring out Drew kept Willow from seeing him though.

He was. She's lucky Michael didn't call the cops. I initially thought it was harsh that Willow couldn't see her kids at ALL. Now I hope Michael is taking notes on everything Willow has done and gets those kids forever. That being said, I loved how nutty MacMullen played Willow and this is the best story on the show right now. It's light years better than Dr. O and Jason waxing poetically about Britt. The show is really overplaying the Britt/Jason relationship. They were barely a couple and it's not even a top 3 Jason pairing lol.
