Yeah. She's alive I assume. A Gina recast came back in 1997 and worked at Luke's and was sort of teased with Jason, but just disappeared. She distanced herself from the family so I wouldn't necessarily think she was close with Jagger.

I believe Jagger said Stone was in an assisted living community and thriving. So Jagger wasn't exactly a part of his day-to-day life. We know absolutely nothing about Stone's mother besides that it's not Karen, so it's possible she's more involved. On Nightshift it did seem like he was the main caregiver though.

Just because Taggert is so anti Sonny I don't see that working for Lois. I agree with all this. I still thought Harrington was decent. He was just completely wrong for the role. Weirdly being hung up on Karen and Stone was a strange choice too. They've been dead for years and years and he wasn't married to Karen when she died in a car accident and didn't even show up to Stone's funeral. Correct and Donna is acting like she didn't PM people like me this info about Drake months before he passed away.

I was thinking at some point down the line the show might bring Stone Jr. (2.0?) to PC and avenge his father's unsolved murder or something. I don't know who that Jagger was either. Strange casting. The actor was all wrong for the part even if I thought Adam Harrington could act.

I believe they would have to recast if so. Trina completely forgot about her father that raised her so it seems unlikely.

This board cares more about the Jagger's death than the show does and we barely care.😂

Sonny shot Jagger a while ago. He's dead.

Definitely. The Lois I loved in the 90's would have a fulfilling life. Her entire existence on this show is keeping Gio's paternity a secret and that is a waste of an amazing character.

I feel like the fallout is going to be bad for Lois and I don't want her to leave town. I wish the show could find a place for her that worked better.

Lois should be seen more. Away from this story lol! With a sexy love interest!

Hmmm...Stefano being Benjy's dad is a whole other thing I suppose. Pocket would be (most likely) a grown man now. It could be interesting for Phillip if he showed up. I totally get what you are saying about soaps and adoption. The minute someone finds their biological parent the poor adoptive parents are entirely forgotten about.

Max's dad was Trent. Melanie's "dad" for a while too. Benjy was deaf. You have to remember that lol. Tyler Pocket does deserve justice though.

I think it's a writing vs. talent thing with Kerr. I can see how some people view her line delivery as verging on bored sometimes. I just don't think Portia/Brook has ever gotten a story that truly showcased her and her talents. Most of the time she is apologizing for lying or making a mistake. I really don't get how this is Gio's fault or why Lois was there at all lol. Is anyone going to find out Joss knew Danny was there and ignored it entirely?

I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol. I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends. You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though. MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught. She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro. Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.

If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her. So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.

They haven't explained the ownership of the Bistro, but Doug told Holly the other day he didn't get the job there. Basically Roman just hired Doug on the spot and gave him a room. It was really nice of Roman. I don't know if he knows who Doug is or that he stole Julie's necklace. That was unclear-at least to me. ETA-I feel like the Bistro might just die and people will just pretend to order food there like Leo did today. Sophia is on bed rest so no one works there anymore. They can use that set for something else.

I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique. It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret. It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas. It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time. She can be hit or miss. I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too. I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing. She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard. Both can do more with the material. I just don't think the writing was there.

Because you are posting these things like they are true facts. And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you. Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread. Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here. I am just wasting my time even responding.

You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"? Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently". Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

Lol. I love that this board still allows misinformation from a bad source.

The show is definitely trying to make Lulu seem like she's wrong and Brook Lynn is being tormented. I just don't really see it that way. Lulu really hasn't done anything except confront BLQ. She hasn't told anyone, Chase already knows, and she's writing an article about adoption. Everyone is jumping down her throat for something Lulu actually has a personal investment in. Brook Lynn's freakout about a newspaper article on adoption is way more suspicious than Lulu just writing a story about it lol. Chase is coming off ridiculously self-righteous too. Telling Dante to make Lulu stop while lying to him about his child.

The fact that Lois brought Gio to Brook Lynn's wedding, encouraged him to stay in town, then decided he should live at the Q's make her look dim and like she was asking to get caught lol. I still strongly dislike this story, but the performances have been good. Like you said Gio finally has a story and Dante will get something to do besides playing house with Sam on the backburner.

Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid. It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though.

I am glad Brook Lynn blurted out the truth to Tracy and we get to see her reaction. I really hope the show doesn't forget about Ned in this story. Since he appears so rarely, he tends to be the afterthought in all this. That was a pretty large secret Lois and Brook kept from him for no real reason. I need him to be able to show his feelings about being in the dark this whole time.
