Yes! "Easter eggs" of cancelled soaps are what is keeping GH alive.

Yeah, I am not trying to diss OLTL or anything. The soap stands on its own. GH just isn't the place for funny nods to OLTL characters because it's not the same.

GH is never the place for sweet homages to OLTL. It's not cute or funny regardless of what FV thinks. GH has it's own history to rely on.

The show never cared deeply for Matt Hunter when he was onscreen lol. I kept finding it strange the show hired JC and didn't do what they should have and pair him with KS's Maxie. There's a slow burn and then there was GH's no burn at all with Matt. At some point Guza or Wolf decided to remember Jason Cook was part of the cast. I think it was the era where James Franco screwed everything up and both Lucky and Brenda returned.

I think his prison sentence was relatively short, so he should be out of jail. I actually don't even know why he went to jail in the first place because it was self-defense and he deserves an award for getting rid of Lisa, but whatever. Does Jason Cook even still act? Because Days could use him lol. Anyway, I did think Matt/Liz had potential back in the day.

Yeah. Matt was on the show for awhile and did a whole lot of nothing. By the time they actually paired him with Maxie I think Storms was gone on her leave for most of it. He did kill Lisa Niles-which I guess is something. I saw the episode, but it's been a long time. Ellie tells Spinelli she has met someone new since their breakup and that he's from Port Charles (the one episode suspense!) Griffin ends up calling her that night and we find out they are together. It was very random with no set up or follow up, but I want to say they are still together. Although Griffin/Nathan/Chase are all the same to me. I think Matt Cohen sings too so I really get he and Chase confused.

Oh, I liked Ellie so much. Didn't she end up with Griffin in one of the most random exits ever? lol I thought Jason Cook's character actually could have been more. I think he's still in jail for Lisa's murder.

I have always found Maxie/Spinelli charming even if I didn't find either character to be at the time if that makes sense? The show obviously missed the boat by not pairing Spinelli with Georgie. I was in the at least he didn't end up with Lulu phase. I don't recall finding them toxic. I would have to rewatch them again. I just felt Guza treated them as a "humor" couple rather than playing it serious most of the time. Sort of like early Kevin/Lucy without the depth.

I was hoping it was a small error and the show isn't painting it like Maxie never knew love before Nathan. When she "married" Spinelli and clearly has a teenage daughter with him lol.

I feel like we keep waiting for an exciting Stephanie story and it never happens. It seems like there are always options, but they are rarely taken. And she's probably one of the most interesting 30's heroines on paper with her never being married, never having children, and having a solid career. Unfortunately, we waste days on her having sexy times with Alex instead.

That was not the correct way to phrase it. Spinelli was first, but it could have been Kristina Wagner's dialogue mistake in scenes that were otherwise lovely work.

I find Eden's Joss and JMB's Lulu to be very similar. The show props the heck out of them and they are slightly smug and unlikable. The show then throws love interests at them, but none seem to stick and are fired when they aren't useful anymore. I hope Joss finds her Dante because that's the only time I felt Lulu was likeable in that era.

You were just trying to get justice for your boy Cam! I think they look similar. Not in the way that I would confuse them, but the entire archetype feels the same. I generally don't think one actor is more charismatic than the other, but Vaughn seems to be more popular I guess? Both are very generic to me.

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.
