The show has been so invested in Eden McCoy for years. Since she was a literal child. I don't hate Joss or McCoy, but she's limited. She doesn't have any spark to care about her. I'd say she's serviceable as a B character, but you can't build a teen/young adult scene on her. The show pushes viable leads like Trina and Emma out of the way for Joss and it's never really clicked. She's always giving me young JMB Lulu vibes where the show would just throw anything at her and it finally worked with Dante.

Same. The Spencer/Britt relationship is silly. But actually more viable than the Britt/Rocco relationship.

Is it though? I remember some bonding, but would never correlate Britt with Spencer. It's certainly not part of her (useless) identity. Even if it was, I certainly wouldn't have Britt wax poetically about Spencer. That's not relevant in today's GH.

Wait...you don't watch the show every single day? I can't even talk to you lol. Kate is mostly a spent character, but her and Roman are cute if you take everything about their past away. The show never really clicks on subtly like Roman/Marlena/John or Kate/Victor. I don't think Roman has mentioned Kate once being engaged to John ever lol. They just are happy to serve some pub food and talk to the teens. She went back to Titan to publish Stephanie's book so she isn't working at the pub anymore. Nicole has never been my favorite, but I really always felt Zucker showed up no matter what. I don't think she's spent. I prefer her to Godfrey.

I don't why Sonny has to damn near stalk this woman to get her attention. I would be super mad if I was dragged around town to go to a fake meeting with Sonny stuttering. And I openly hate DA bot. Portia has the means and lifestyle to at least have her late in life baby. I don't think abortion would be her first thought. I didn't get the sense she didn't want the baby but was more unsure about the paternity. Plus, it's GH and they LOVE babies. I don't think anyone's had an abortion since Lulu in the early aughts.

I am unsure why Britt would bring up a dead character and a largely off screen character. She doesn't have enough to do? She's on 5 days a week lol. What exactly should she say? Hi, Trina, sorry about Spencer. You never met me, and Spencer probably didn't mention me, but I was his stepmom for 5 minutes. We had a huge bond. Much like me and Ben Rocco.

I actually think Nicole/Ari rolled with the punches pretty well (outside BTS matters). Her writing was chaotic, but she always kept some throughline for the character. I am not the biggest fan of Eric/Nicole, but Ari could hold her own with Ali Sweeney and still be likeable while switching infants lol. Nadia would get fired every other year and have to completely remake Chloe every time. The writing was bipolar at best-and she's not the strongest actress. Very pretty LOL. Sometimes she was a heroine and sometimes she was the slutty villain. The show never really landed on Phillip vs. Brady so now she has a kid with Daniel lol. As far as Kate, well, only Lauren Koslow and her blue hair streaks could save that. She was the town mattress for years. It's nice she settled down with Roman, but you still think she would want more than living upstairs at a family pub.

I have always been surprised Christie left when she did. Days was basically placing her as the new lead. But she was a child actor and I can see being done and moving on. I get the thought of I have worked all these years so peace out, but she much more palatable than Sami or Nicole as leads. No shade to Ari or Ali, but their characters are kind of disasters. I also liked Carrie/Rafe lol.

I think Clark's husband is a renowned chef (correct me if I am wrong) and she doesn't necessarily need money or to work. She seems very open to return in limited capacity. I don't know how you would work around that even with block taping. Perhaps bring her son on and have her do guest stints.

I am pretty sure Christie lives in England and isn't pursuing acting, except for important Days stints. I haven't seen her do an outside project in years.

Fair enough. I'll just call her "Sunflower" from now on lol

Britt's probably just yelling at Jason off screen for his free apartment because it's not fancy enough for her. Nina's penthouse was apparently not satisfying enough either. Britt gives me Violet level hate and Violet was only a little girl. Britt's an awful adult.

😑 I love you for keeping me updated though.😍 I can't with the DA. And you know my most derivate comment is always that at least they are very pretty lol.

Hope is probably one of my least favorite heroines ever. And the show was really never able to utilize her without Bo. It was one dud of a story after another.

I've noticed she rarely mentions Don. Sometimes she talks about DJ's crib death, but I think she feels like it was too long ago and not relevant. More people care about Roman/John? I've never seen any indication her and Jed had issues, so it's probably timelier to mention Drake and Wayne more than anything else. The Don erasure is sad though lol.

I don't actually think you are in the minority in overall GH fandom. Maura and Cynthia have a lot of fans. I won't try to change your mind (except when it comes to Sonny lol), but I don't think either Ava or Nina were built to be on this show for years and years. They've both been on for over a decade, I believe, and I really don't think they bring much to the table as far as story.

I think so? I don't know if there was an actual scene with him telling Joss to do that, but that's what I assumed. I am not sure why he would want to do that though. It doesn't really make sense to me, but neither has this entire plot so.......🤷‍♀️

Unless the show re-pairs Nina with Sonny, I don't see a place for her anymore. Not that it should be dependent on Sonny, but it is what it is. I see even less space for Ava. She's been written into a corner. I wouldn't mind her popping in and out, but she's so far into b story I wouldn't miss her.

I would have killed Ava off and written Nina out. There's a wealth of women in that age range at this point, and both their arcs are mostly done. Sure, Nina can read Willow, but you have Portia, Carly, Olivia, Alexis, Anna, Laura etc., etc. at your disposal. You need to cull the cast at some point even if the actresses are super talented.

Lol! GH has tried to sell me less believable things

Fair enough. I honestly don't have a strong attachment to Abby in general, but I vastly prefer Mansi to Miller in the Abby game. I have always assumed Abby would come back because it's Days lol I don't think Lucas and Nathan were close, but Lucas mostly lived off screen, so who knows lol? They could have hung out together all the time without us knowing.

I don't think anything happened with Mansi and Ron specifically, but Ron seemed to hate the character of Abby. Allegedly ALM was truly supposed to be Abby but after the writer's strike Ron changed his mind. I had high hopes for Kristina as well, but it seems like Abby is just a better fit for her and more needed on Days. I wouldn't have minded a brief Lucky/Kristina hook up either. The show just wrote her so far into the corner and I don't think Mansi helped. Her issues with the Blaze pairing seemed to tank a lot of story-even if Blaze was a day player.

Days should really just bite the bullet and re hire Mansi as Abby. Ron's gone. We can just work that whole situation out even without Flynn.

With my luck KA would be Brenda's unknown twin or something to spite me. I prefer Carnes as well. I like Van, but it's like two different Lucas's.

PM was definitely teasing Ava/Sonny more. I have never thought Nina/Sonny were entirely off the table, but the writing hasn't given us much.
