I actually think Esme is a pretty name too, but you all can call her whatever you want because it's hilarious🤣 I think it's still better than some of the dumb names like Kiki, Scout or Rocco.

I immediately thought Jack Wagner lol. I really can't imagine anyone else. I can see Tristian getting wasted at lunch sometimes though. I don't think Michael Sutton was doing drugs. I believe he just basically quit acting and is a club promoter/restaurant owner in LA now and is very successful. I would assume the partiers of that era were Vanessa Marcil and Sean Kanan, as they both admit to that back in the day. I agree about MB. He has just seemed to have mellowed out and is self aware he wasn't the easiest person to deal with all the time and admits it. He and Steve had made great livings, had long careers, and provided for their families. Even if they weren't big time stars that's something to be proud of and they probably accept soaps are it for them.

I think the NLG twitter drama with Steve was just her saying people on set were unvaccinated the same day Steve tested positive so she was seemingly implying Steve was one of those people. And that started the drama. I don't really like NLG's personality much, but I do like Alexis. She's made more than one questionable comment (Viola Davis, John Callahan, etc.). I don't think she's wrong in this situation though.

I honestly met SBu several years ago at a place I worked and he was a super nice guy. Very handsome in person. I have no idea what he's truly like but he was extremely nice to me and my coworkers. I have met some super rude soap stars in my time working there. I think Burton was a dick back in the day because he thought he would go on to bigger and better things. It seems like him and MB have mellowed. MB is pretty open about being an ass back in the day.

Okay. Gotcha. I assume MB/SBu are used to being the big dogs on set. I would think SBu might be a little humbled by the fact they did replace him with a fairly popular recast. I have no idea why he thought he was hot stuff in the early 90's. No one even cared about Jason until he was brain damaged. He's probably just matured a little and acts more professionally. I have always had an issue with Steve shilling that juice to fans in that MLM scheme, but he seems to be out of that business. His persona tends to rub me the wrong way. I do chuckle at the fact he lived with Tara Reid for 2 years in the 90's. Idk, he's a 50 year old actor in a dying genre. I assume he's changed his ways a bit.

I find MB really likable in these videos. And he admits he was an ass too. MB goes into more detail about himself and Steve in his book (don't judge me-I read it during quarantine lol) I have no idea what SBu is like now. Are we talking about his beliefs? Or how he treats his co-stars? I have no doubt MB and SBu have gotten away with a lot of crap, but they both seem mostly well-liked now? MB seems close to a lot of his current/former co-stars. I am sure there are people they prefer to work with and it seems like MB/SBu were not nice to SJB or TB when they were Carly, but then Lilly Melgar, Vanessa, Michael Sutton, KMc all seem to love MB and they really don't need to go out of their way to praise him. SBu doesn't seem as well liked, but I don't think he is disliked. He had that band with Spinelli, Scott Reeves, and Brandon Barash for awhile. IDK, I get the feeling SBu and MB aren't the main problems on the GH set these days lol.

That was a really good interview. I love KMc. She just seems so real. It's nice her and MB are friends. I wonder who was doing all the drugs in 80's. And Lol at Tristian getting wasted during lunch and using a teleprompter. SBu must have been a real ass when he was young. Vanessa, Kim, and Maurice have all said it basically.

Idk, he just seems like someone who will double down on this and sue regardless. I have lawyers in the family lol. Maybe I am cynical. It sucks because I like Jax and Jax/Brenda were my jam in 1998. I don't like to know about his personal beliefs. I honestly think they will just have Jax talk to Joss and yell at Carly for a long while unless this Insta stuff becomes so bad they have to fire him.

I feel like it's clear that Ingo has an agenda and that is to protect his job. He will immediately sue if he gets fired and he has a lot of years being part of the cast to at least make a claim. Some lawyer will take it. But it's also very clear he's being sidelined even if he's not outright fired. The Jason/Carly story should have been a Carly/Jax story. I just don't understand why they don't mandate vaccines when you are in close contact with other actors. As someone who got covid after being vaccinated due to another employees lack of vaccine I don't understand how it isn't required. Ingo can take a stand being home and unemployed and I always really liked Jax. What a shame.

I think they both have chemistry. NuChanel is good. The only person I don't think she has chemistry with is Allie, but they work okay as friends.

I think it was. I would have to look it up, but Carly slept with Sonny because she saw Jason making googly eyes at Liz and was all hurt.

Is that the same shooting when he saw Carly/Sonny together? And just left and left the show lol

Today's episode was such filler. Boring. Nice to see Kate interacting with her son for once. This Jake/Gabi stuff is so stupid. Chloe/Brady/Phillip start and stall a lot. I have no idea why Nicole would plead her case to Roman. He obviously would have strong feelings against adultery. Marlena would have been the better choice. She is much more aware of Sami's faults and might be a little more forgiving about cheating. Ava and Rafe continue to be stupid. Can't Ava do something evil? She's so boring and doesn't even interact with her son. Or anyone she used to.

I would assume the episodes would be longer than 20 min because there are so many characters in it. If it was only 20 min apiece every character would get about 5 min total the entire serious. Which......I guess is possible. But I can't believe they'd sideline Ben/Ciara like that lol.

It is such a bizarre waste of Sonny's only grown daughter. She really has potential. We were always told how smart she was, but she works at a bar? Or did? I don't know what she does now. She never gets proper love interests, but we can watch Michael and Willow be bland EVERY DAY. I love the Lucky Santangelo idea, but I don't think Lexi is up for that task. I like her, but if she is hindering story than just recast. I don't think she has that big of a fanbase. Idk, I could see Kristina as a lawyer maybe. She can replace Diane, who I have always found to be super irritating. I know CH/Diane are popular but I hate her bashing Sonny/Jason's lifestyles while openly profiting from said lifestyles. I love when people call out Jason/Sonny for their crap, but it should be someone who isn't on their payroll.

I genuinely don't think it was the actress. LM was fine. Her story was awful. She got mixed up in that Connie/Kate stuff with Connie's forgettable son Trey. That was just an overall bad time for the show (worse than usual). I think the actress just got the brunt of the blame. LM wasn't amazing or anything, but I don't think the story did her any favors. I like LA though. I always have. I just don't know why she still looks 13 when she 30. LA would have been great on a 90210 or One Tree Hill because she genuinely still looks like she's in high school. Yeah, it seems the show doesn't like LA/Kristina. I thought LA was good in the Kiefer/abuse storyline and good with Ethan. That was 10 years and basically the last time Kristina was relevant, but I don't think LA is incapable of playing heavier material. It's always been strange to me that Kristina is such a non-entity.

Lol at EJ and Xander making fun of Justin's lawyering skills. I chuckled at that.

Did people try to make her happen? I thought she was universally panned. I don't even think Lindsey Morgan was that bad. It was an awful story and Kristina was more unlikeable than usual.

Haha! I didn't think she was that bad. She never bothered me the way NB did as Spencer. I wouldn't be upset if they decided to recast her, I just don't think the show will. Or it will be a sexy Emma like they did with Kristina and just go back to the original when it fails.

I would assume they are just waiting until BRS is a little older to bring Emma back. Unlike Spencer, I do think Ron will keep the original actress. She's 15 now, so maybe in a year or so. Brooklyn wasn't the best actress, but she was fairly well liked and has turned into a very pretty girl, so I would just guess they will keep her.

Only because Rena left. IR and RS had okay chemistry. I don't think Ingo even screen tested with Vanessa. Jax/Brenda was just a good accident. Clink/Boom was Guza, but I do think Claire had an arc for Lily that did include a tragic death. I just don't think it was going to be a Godfather car bomb rip off.

Ugh....I am annoyed John/Marlena are so deeply invested in the Cin wedding. I know Marlena cares, but now John? The whole thing was annoying and clearly Days just didn't want to pull out the church set lol

Jax was meant for Lois, but Rena didn't re-sign so I believe that was Guza with the Jax/Brenda stuff. That's why I think Guza tended to heavily favor them over Sonny/Brenda. I don't think the actual "Clink/Boom" was Labine, but I do think the idea of Lily dying tragically was. I just remember SB's Carly being super interested in Bobbie from her first scene. Maybe even reading a newspaper clipping about her or something?

Carly didn't appear until after Guza took over correct? I do believe Carly was always meant to be Bobbie's child though. It was pretty clear even from her first scenes, IMO. Obviously, she is a Guza character, but I do think Claire outlined things like Carly/Bobbie and even Clink/Boom. Perhaps not the actual explosion, but the death of Lily as the end of the story.

Lol! I always thought I was the only one that thought Marlena was not really appropriate with Roger. Especially after he kissed her. Marlena, Roman, and Stella all saw that Roger had a crush on her and she just kept treating him. I think she tried to stop, but then didn't and really missed a lot of red flags there. Kim's DID got stuck with bad luck with casting problems as well. With all the PP stuff and having to recast plus CS leaving it just probably got stalled. I actually didn't think Arianna Chase was that bad as Kim either, but I know that's not popular. Phillip did know Billie because he produced one of her films? But I don't know how it was resolved. I think they just both kept quiet. Then he became Jen's aggressive producer on her show and left with recastKim shortly after.
