Thanks! I guess I remember Miguel's entrance right. He really didn't do much of anything besides pour drinks and sing, so I get what SOD is saying. His romances with Lily and Brenda just sort of ended fairly amicably. He never got a reaction to Lily's death because he was gone. The show never even pulled the trigger on him being a viable spoiler in the Sonny/Brenda/Lily stuff. He was just a nice guy Brenda had sex with on the rebound lol. I am surprised they never got Ricky Martin back for a Nurse's Ball. Juan actually had potential to be something. He could have come back wanting revenge on Sonny for Lily's death but he thought Sonny was his father instead? You were like 7 when they got married and actually met Lily and Miguel in Puerto Rico as a child. He was boring with Emily and boringly sang a lot too, but I think the idea of the character had potential. I tend to think if MS wasn't married to Becky they may have recast at some point later on. Sabrina is just one of those characters that I mentioned yesterday that were on everyday for a few years and are never mentioned again. Usually female and usually killed off violently. In a few years, hopefully, we will forget Willow existed as well.

I want to say his entrance was saving someone on the roof of GH or it was finding BJ after the bus crash. Both happened I think, but I am not sure what was first. He was an orderly at the hospital but then became a bartender/singer. A LOT of his time on the show was spent on Lily and the baby she gave up. The show was clearly aiming for that to be a big love story, but I guess it wasn't popular. It's hard to say though because Lily/Sonny/Brenda/Miguel were always weird with each other. Miguel and Brenda only dated for a little bit-maybe 3 months? And Miguel left to go on a South American tour after Sonny literally threatens to cut him up with a broken bottle (not important to the story, but a hilarious scene). Ricky Martin reappears briefly around the time of Sonny/Lily's wedding. Brenda calls him to help bust it up, but he basically tells her she is being insane and leaves again. He actually physically comes to town to tell her she's being nuts, but I don't think he interacts with anyone else besides Vanessa. I believe Wendy let RM out of his contract early so he could do Les Mis on Broadway and he agreed to appear one last time. I think they mentioned Miguel last year when Brooklyn was dealing with her agent or whatever. They said he was a client. And his son's contribution to the show was bringing us Sabrina lol.

I think Ricky Martin made it despite his GH run lol. I don't remember him or him/Lily or Brenda being popular at all. His default acting was tossing his hair around. I think GH was his first English speaking role, so I'll cut him some slack. Anyhow, AMC was introducing the Santos at the same time. And by 1996 Sonny was the only Latino character left, since Brenda isn't supposed to be Hispanic even though Vanessa is. Even Sonny's dad was white lol. With Julia, Mateo, Maria, Anita, etc I think AMC had the larger core group of the two. OLTL had the Vega brothers as well.

Brenda and Sonny to me were clearly the last supercouple. Not only for GH, but probably the last period. They got the writing, the romance, the obstacles, and everything. On GH it's Luke/Laura, Robert/Holly, Anna/Duke, Frisco/Felicia, and Sonny/Brenda to me. Robin/Stone, Ned/Lois, Lucky/Liz, Sean/Tiffany, Jax/Brenda and Sonny/Carly were close but not quite. And Puerto Rico let you know Sonny and Brenda gave zero effs about sand in uncomfortable places lol. I think their last great writing was probably Amazing Grace in 2002, but the idea of them in 2010 wasn't bad. The execution just was. Puerto Rico was AMAZING!! The cast spent a lot of time walking around the hotel and watching Ricky Martin sing, but it was beautiful. Honestly, I would never believe anyone if they told me Ricky Martin would become an international superstar in 1995 lol . Thank God their careers recovered from whatever this was:

Well...Frank... And I LOVE all of that. Brenda and her connections...she could come back and it just naturally writes itself. And I know if GH was cancelled tomorrow, that would be the first (or one of the first) questions that hit my mind. Either Sonny running off with Brenda or getting one last arc with her. I would assume (and not even in a fangirl/stan way) that Brenda and Sonny would always be the endgame situation. It just seems like the obvious ending for Sonny. And I don't really care much about actor's wants but I totally see this as the hill MB and VM would die on to make it happen. And outside of all the relationship Brenda stuff, I would love to see Ned/Brenda and Lucy/Brenda interact. I loved both those friendships. Not to mention her and Brooklyn

Idk what Vanessa did but Frank seems to really not be about her lol. It would make sense on so many levels. She could work at Deception, mentor Sasha, hang out with Lucy, see Ned, argue with Carly, be awkward with Michael and Dante, bother Jason, her son could be Josslyn's peer, etc. She really doesn't even need Sonny or Jax, but I think it makes the most sense to put her with Sonny. It would be a good arc for Sonny to come back, realize he wants to change his life, and get back with Brenda. It would free Carly up too. I always thought it would have made a lot of sense for her and Sonny to re-connect when Mike was dying. Especially since Mike seem so pro-Brenda at the beginning of his disease. It seems silly for the show to waste so much time on Smike/Nina/Carson when we all know the minute GH gets cancelled there is 99.9% chance Sonny and Brenda will re-unite. Much like Courtney, Kate/Connie is anyone gonna to care about Nina in 5 years?

I am not going to lie when I re-watch Paris, I am like is it so bad Marlena? Your wardrobe and hair are AMAZING and your golden cage is bigger than my dining room lol! I loved the ball in Paris where Kristen just straight ignores her lol. I love John at a freaking guillotine. It's the difference between soaps then and now. JER knew this was dumb but knew we knew. Now things are dumb and they hope we don't notice. On a different note, I was thought Rachel/the Lady in White was one of the most annoying characters in history. All she did was moan and wail!!

See, I get people hating Brenda/Vanessa Marcil. I get RH and ME have some pretty intense stans. What I do not get is people running a business choosing to hire these people over and over. It's downright disrespectful to the audience. I didn't forget TB played Carly. I didn't forget RH played a different character a month or two ago. It's not just a twin. The audience is not stupid. Again, I have no idea if VM just decided to peace out. It does seem clear she is willing to come back. She was a beloved character we saw basically grow up. She has actual historical ties to characters that lead that we have seen over 30 years now. MB is on board. Idk, it seems like a no brainer to go and re-hire her because at least she has some sort of credible track record of popularity. And we have spent years on Sonny being the lead- it's bizarre the show just basically ignores a huge player in his history so Jax/Sonny can hang out with Nina? OKay. Instead of just being ride or die with Howarth and his 3rd character? GH is so weird because other shows cling to their vets, but GH just wants newbies all the time.

It's weird because the minute RH announced himself as Franco I knew it was a massive mistake. How did no one else working at GH not see that? I don't think I have too many moments like that in soap watching where I just know it's going to be tragic from the word go, but that I clearly remember. Michael Easton shouldn't be employed but none of his characters have outrighted offended me like Franco and his brain tumor. It needs to happen! Amazing idea!

It's always something I thought should have happened in the 90's when Q stories were flourishing. I remember a lot of fans wondering what happened to Jimmy Lee and if he had children. So naturally it will happen with Roger Howarth because GH won't let us have nice things. It's certainly a much better idea than RH as Franco though, which makes you think what might have been if someone actually took the time to think about this first.

It looks like Steve Bond has credits listed up until 2017. I don't know how recent his google photos are, but he looks decent in what I can find. I think it would be very plausible for him to come back. I'd rather they not kill him off.

MBE has been rocking that cut since her GH days. It's an overall styling thing with her. Her wardrobe is awful 99% of the time. The whole package is pretty bad. AZ is someone else who has always had bad hair. There were moments when she grew it out a bit where it looked okay, but it's never been good. I remember being so happy when she cut it off and it was still really long. My 90's Sami memories mostly consist of her having that long, long braid down her back. But overall, Ali has been okay with hair. People like KA, Renee Jones, Eileen Davidson, etc. come out looking fine from the 90's because they stuck to fairly basic styles. Missy and Deidre both cut their hair off in the mid-90's and I hated both of their cuts. Deidre had such nice hair in the cage and then she cut it off and it made her look instantly 20 years older. It was a real toss up between John/Marlena for worst hair circa 1997. It's still hard to look at..........

Fair. I was onboard until the weird late 90's stuff. It just looked greasy and awful, but Drake just looked like he just never got a haircut ever. There are times he still suffers from that today. I always thought Ali had that long ass hair way too long but she was young and it was good hair. Rachel Melvin's hair is still so funny looking back. I like a graduated bob like Megan Ward on GH but she was on another level.

I forgot that I liked evil Sam. KeMo is just someone who has felt so bored and collecting a paycheck for so many years I can't remember any good parts about her performance. I genuinely think keeping Sam bad ass and someone who didn't have kids would be a better choice. I know kids on soaps are a norm, but it can be refreshing to have characters and woman that don't want to have children.

I might be judging you a little. That picture doesn't do it justice. There were always strange hair clips, weird twisty updos, episodes where only a wispy bang would appear, I didn't even care about Carrie/Mike. I just wanted Christie to pull her hair situation together. lol Days has a real issue with hair. Rachel Melvin's weirdly highlighted choppy cut was also epically awful. This isn't peak highlights faze, but what is going on?

I love Carrie too, but it was bleached so blond and short and then it became a muddy brown with questionable bangs and layers. Thank goodness her hair recovered since then. I wish I could find a better picture, but at this point I thought someone in hair hated her lol

Me neither. John's shoulder length weirdo mullet is at least something I could fix with scissors. DH is tall, in good shape and reasonable attractive I just feel like someone should have intervened. But Christie Clark spent a good portion of the 90's with some of the most questionable haircuts and dye jobs I have ever seen, so there must have been some sorta disconnect in the hair department.

Yes, I think it was right around RoJohn's Pawn introduction. I remember John being hired as security and some of the attacks but I don't remember Maggie's rape at all. Serial rape stories are disturbing, but Days tendency to re-use that trope over and over is more disturbing.

I mean they are all good looking but ............... Exhibit A: Exhibit B: Exhibit 😄 I 100% prefer Lucas to EJ and Lumi to EJami, but this is enough to make me consider paying him $6000 to be my life coach. Just saying......lol

I liked Jason/Sam right at the beginning. I have never enjoyed Sam at all and have no idea why the world's most lifeless performer is so popular. SBu has done good work and does sometimes have chemistry with people, so I am more open to him/Britt. I would not be against this. RH/KeMo play really well off each other as adversaries.

I thought ME and KeMo were pretty hot on PC. But I don't think KeMo and SBu have much chemistry so who knows? Sorry, I thought Liz was in the sanatorium and that's how they met, but I guess that was after Liz's stay there. Regardless, it was weird how that woman was the only person Liz was talking to.

I don't know his always seemed real to me. Realer than how I feel about Kristian Alfonso saying she's never, ever coming back lol. Just because JS was so into all the personal life coaching stuff and apparently quit acting. I wonder how successful it is because it is pretty pricey looking at his website. Anyway, I just think Days/Ron brought EJ back to life without any plan and are now stuck having to follow through with it. I am pretty sure I have heard Days has approached JS several times, but we used to hear the same stuff about JKJ and that he would never return and was living in like a cave in Missouri or something, so who knows?

I think Days really screwed up making EJami this amazing love story and endgame after JS left. He was pretty clear he was never coming back. They should have just kept him dead. Days just got stuck with the fact they had to cast an EJ now that Ali was back. It might be better to move him in another direction away from Sami. Will see how it goes, but I think they should definitely start testing DF with other women. He's not bad, per se, but I am not wowed or anything.

There are a few scenes on you tube where Robin is dating/going to a dance with a 16 year old character when she was 12 or 13 in 1990. No idea if this is the guy, but the actor looks about 25. And it's creepy.

I was thinking he got his good looks from his grandmothers lol.
