I think Dex has as much complexity as Vaughn does, which is very little. There isn't going to be the right writing because Vaughn will end up as another Frank hunk who looks good shirtless just like Hofer. A Joss/Emma/Gio triangle makes more sense than this Alias story, but Joss would win and I would hate that for Emma.

I think Vaughn and Dex are almost the same character and you could have done this story tweaked with Dex. So I don't get the point at all. And I don't really care if Joss is a whore or not. I will say she is ANNOYING and that's a fact.

The debate on whether or not Joss is a whore is more exciting than her current storyline.

Yesterday she slept with Vaughn.

3 partners is correct. Cameron, Dex, and Vaughn. Oscar died a virgin lol.

Honestly, I don't really care about name calling unless it's about a poster, a real person like Eden McCoy, or against board rules. I think fictional characters are free reign.

I think the Joss is a whore narrative stems from her cheating on Cameron with Dex more than how many sexual partners she's had.

The last time I remember Maggie/Marlena sharing significant screen time together was during the Salem Serial Killer/Melaswan era. Maggie was still considered one of her best friends. I think Maggie was also around when John was presumed dead in 2007, but in a small capacity. Marlena/Deidre weren't on the show when Mickey or Alice died and by the time Deidre returned it was clear Suzanne/Deidre weren't on great terms. No idea what's up with Kristian/Deidre. They never seemed like the best of friends but always seemed cordial. I am not positive they aren't still although that hug was odd to say the least. I believe Kristian's a Democrat as well because she attended a White House event while Biden was in office. I just assumed the two may have had a falling out with the way Kristian dramatically left the show during Covid. I have no idea if politics play a role in who Deidre shares scenes with. Ari Zuker and I believe Greg Vaughan are both Republicans and Dee shared plenty of scenes with them. There wouldn't necessarily be a need for Marlena to share scenes with Missy/Jen especially when MR appears so infrequently. Idk, Suzanne aside, I get the feeling Deidre does her job then leaves and doesn't care that much about anyone else lol.

Oh, man I forgot there were rumors LM was coming back after (during?) her stint on The Bay. I suppose the thought isn't the worst with Lily coming back for revenge, but it's stupid without Brenda, obviously, and it's the type of death that should be left alone. Let's not ruin an iconic moment with a random side note from the Lily character. I thought Bradford was his usual. I didn't think he was bad. Also, James and a baby are a handful. He left them with Georgie 2.0 who has to be like 15. It's not like he left them unattended. I probably wouldn't tell young kids their mom was dying either at the moment.

Eww...but in 2000 I suppose Lily and the explodedbaby were relevant. I also feel like bringing Melgar back was a true thought after Alcazar hired the Lily lookalike. I think Drew is just too high profile for Sonny to kill and he be the obvious first suspect, IMO. Not worth it since he's coasting on Jagger's death and already killed AJ. But I'd argue random ADA isn't worth the time and he's still pursuing that, so who knows?

She is legitimately awful and currently acts like a robot. Rachel Boyd was better during the birth scenes and has completely regressed since then. From what has been said, it was Ron's decision to bring Gwen/EOB back and the new team had to deal with it. It doesn't appear they are terribly enthused about writing for her. I still don't know why they didn't just slap the wig on her and bring her back as Theresa.

No one counts Lily's kid. I barely count Lily as a loss. One step closer to becoming a Sonny fan lol. I actually don't think Sonny/Jason would kill Drew. Mostly because of Scout. Although I think Drew is just super confident and believes he's untouchable because he's a voted official. He brings up he's a congressman in every conversation.

Well, I don't think anyone has ever seen an actress take as many "temp" leaves as Storms. I guess she's an FV favorite because most other actors would be leaving for a while and not getting paid like KS is.

I was just saying this morning that the only good Korte/CVE material has been the Drew stuff and that was mostly PM's set up. I can't think of anything they've done that's been interesting otherwise. JS would have been fine as a Nathan recast.

Spinelli is still Maxie's best love interest. Nathan and Chase are practically the same character.

The RETURN I was waiting for 😂😑 Yay!

Correct. And then what happens when Molly or Kristina have a baby? Chase gets his baby? One of the Joss/Emma crowd has a child? There's already no room for the current kids. Someone like Bailey, who really isn't necessary could easily be sacrificed for a redux of the BJ heart story.

Yeah, I am not saying the show should kill off 5 kids in a bus accident or something on Monday. Although...not the worst idea. At some point the show will actually need to deal with all the influx of children. I am not advocating a bunch of violence or anything. It's either send most of them off to oblivion for years at boarding school or give them a potential poignant death story that actual gives the child a purpose.

It's not even like the show kills off kids regularly. It's pretty rare.

Stone Jr. has some potential only because of Wagger's murder and the fact he's autistic. We still don't know who is mother is. NO ONE suggest Brenda! He could be the ADA's son. In any event, there's nothing truly long term there. I'd still kill off Wiley over Donna because that is reaching Violet levels of obnoxious. Plus, I don't want another era of Chloe Lanier dominating the show.

The show recast Gina Cates in the 1996 or 1997 with some blonde actress, who was a non-entity. She worked at Luke's, was teased with Jason, then disappeared. It wouldn't be the worst idea to make ADA Turner Gina Cates I suppose, but I don't think the ADA Turner character needs to exist, so I won't worry about her much. Bringing Jagger's Autistic son back would have more potential, but, again, I am fine leaving the Wagger mess alone. I did think the show had good cliffhangers for once. At this point I would keep the little girl that plays Donna over Wiley. Donna is adorable and natural, but the little boy that plays Wiley is just awful. I know he's a child, but I would really consider offing one of Michael's kids at this point. If I have to see Wiley this often and in emotional scenes at least recast him.

Interesting. I have never heard this. I always figured Michael would inevitably take over, but Duell's Michael would not be believable as a mob boss. It's actually a bit odd none of Sonny's kids have shown much interest in the business. I am glad that Dante story didn't play out, but Dante turning a blind eye to Sonny/Jason's misdeeds year after year as a cop isn't great either. I honestly don't think it would have been the worst story for Dante. I just don't see it working long term.

Yeah, I remember people being excited about the pairing and wanting Brook and Chase to hook up and I think I recall liking them. Idk, the pairing got stale really quickly for me.

The thing about Chase and Brook Lynn is they have very little in common. Not even in an opposites attract way. They are so different in almost every aspect from career to style that they never seemed like an endgame couple to me. The pairing is relatively harmless yet AS and JS don't have enough chemistry to pull the pairing off and Chase frankly has more in common with Willow.

Today was a particularly bad wardrobe day for Setton while JS is hanging around shirtless. I think Willow will absolutely get pregnant by Chase. I want her to somehow manipulate it to look like Michael's kid through.
