I really have no problem with ditching Natalia ASAP, but it's almost like the show is mad at ELR for her character flopping. People get away with MURDER in Port Charles and Natalia's lawyer son can't strike a plea deal on a DUI? If we didn't already hate Natalia let's just make her a careless alcoholic too on the way out of town.

Not burnt out enough to try to make a Dante/Brenda baby a thing...............................

Vanessa returned so I was high key on alert in watching Brook Lynn was trying to steal a pretzel from a random vendor and Carly offered her money to seduce Dante. I do like a toasted pretzel, but this girl was an heiress out of money? She stated Dante doesn't like her like that and it's going to be a difficult task. I don't think she even got the money because she literally drugged Dante and Lulu bitched slapped her.

But she was very clear she never hooked up with Dante and they were just friends and never anything more. And here we are lol So I guess will just call that entire narrative a loss

It's like the show had no idea what to with her so I assumed it correlated. She was being paid by Nik to be his date for functions so the story clearly ran out lol.

I think the show just wrote her out in 2011? She lingered on with Nik for awhile, but I think Tyler's real life problems might have derailed the story? Her and Liz would spar sometimes. She was at Sonny and Brenda's wedding if that gives you a vague timeline, but I remember her being around a bit longer.

I always liked Leon. Not sure why GH or Y&R hated her.

Didn't Y&R say she was fat basically? Because Adrianne Leon is totally someone I thought was fat😂 Was she a small instead of an extra small?

I thought I read Leon was interested in coming back, but it's been years lol. She should sue GH for her entire 2010-11 run.

Leon or Lane could easily take over until the show decides something permanently. I don't think either is actually better than Setton as far as acting, but I think they both would be excited to take the role back. It could give BLQ more energy and vitality. Anyhow, after Gio accepts Brook and Dante as his parents in a month I would rest, break, give a long honeymoon to Chase/BLQ and decide where the characters are going. Nothing dramatic or crazy. Just a breather to figure out what they are doing next and if it's recasting that's fine.

I don't even think romance or sex scenes are even the main issue here. JS/AS/Brook/Chase aren't some sort of fire match and need to make out all the time. It's multiple things piling up for me. She doesn't dress the part, she doesn't like love scenes, she plays BLQ the way she wants to. It's more the sum of the equation than the individual parts. Amanda is lucky she's a good actress, has a decent fanbase and is a friend of Frank's. I personally would give Brook a break and re-evaluate in 6 or 9 months to see if Amanda is more willing to up her game and recast if not.

I think it makes me more salty because I was excited about her casting too. I still think she's a good actress and a beautiful woman, but I don't think she gets Brook Lynn anymore. It's not Amanda Setton playing herself as a 40 year old 1990's housewife. It's Brook Lynn Quartermaine!!

I thought of that or if it was based on something I watched, but when I went in to Peacock on my laptop it gave me the "correct" list. So I probably just needed to log out and log in on my tv or something? I've also had Peacock even before Days moved to streaming, so my app could just need a refresh or re-download.

Exactly. Soaps are tame. I assume Amanda's perspective changed after becoming a wife and mother and was more thoughtful about what she was doing in her career. But no one's forcing you to be paid for this job. If it doesn't align with you any more please move on. Lots of actresses in LA would be willing to play Brook Lynn correctly.

We are definitely beating a dead horse. But by the time Amanda and Josh's kids are old enough to google their GH scenes-they would probably be lucky to still be on the internet. 😂

Yes. We are on the same page. Where is the line drawn? I could care less about a Chase/BLQ love scene but perhaps just discuss with your partner and children that this is your job and it's not REAL instead? Amanda already has clips out there from OLTL of her being a stripper and romping around in bed with Clint lol. I feel like we are manipulated into this narrative that AS/JS care about their partners and children, Idk, more than any other soap actors that do their jobs and do love scenes? I don't want to get too far into religion or JS/AS's specific beliefs because I don't know them, but a job on tv doesn't exactly line up to what they at least say about their respective religions and practices. Amanda doesn't need to be in a bra and panties. A nice silk robe would be fine. It's not that serious and I doubt it will change, but it does annoy me lol.

Bradford appears so rarely I don't even know why he would be replaced. Unless they are gearing up for some big Spinelli story I would say the character isn't worth the hassle. I am fine thinking Spinelli is off screen in the background with Maxie and her kids.

I took French in high school so I have no idea what's going on, but they seem much more lively and more fun than English ads. I have problems with Paramount and Hulu and sometimes I just randomly have to verify my youtube TV location. I probably just need a new tv. But, topic drift-Days is #4 if you use a computer lol. I can see how others are getting confused because there are definitely a few different lists out there.

Honestly, it says Smart TV on it, but I am not sure I believe it lol. Sometimes I turn Days on and it just shuts off and I have to re-log in for no discernible reason. I also only get Peacock ads in Spanish, but it doesn't bother me and I haven't tried to fix it lol.

Lol. My movies are wrong too!! I broke Peacock. I have 1. Love Island 2. Poker face 3. Next Gen NYC 4. Below Deck 5. The Real Housewives of Miami 6. Law and Order Organized Crime 7. The Gilgo Beach Killer 8. The Valley 9. Summerhouse 10. Destination X I don't know. I don't even watch half these shows. ETA-I logged in on my laptop and my list matches yours now. My TV is just dumb lol.

I saw it in the top 10 this week, but it's not in the top 10 for me today. I think Peacock is just wonky lol. I looked at @teplin's list and I have Summer House, The Real Housewives of Miami and Destination X instead. No Yellowstone, Days or Chicago PD. 🤷‍♀️

I guess I will call her KMac. I agree with everyone saying she is doing great. Even during the most boring parts of her run I always thought KMac was at least a serviceable actress. I am stunned to say I find Willow interesting these days. I never would have thought. I can't believe Lois of all people would raise such an unfashionable daughter. Brook Lynn's clothes aren't just modest and ugly they are also completely unflattering, but I have ragged on Setton enough the last 24 hours lol. Willow and Sasha dress fairly modestly (IMO) and look age appropriate and normal.

That jacket was a choice.....I have nightmares.

Yes, I think we have all seen the interviews or at least us that have been around here long enough. It was never framed as specifically about religion from my understanding of the videos (and everyone can form their own opinions). Josh was shirtless and had multiple sex scenes with Willow on GH. So totally fine. AS and JS have a personal deal about how they want to frame their content. ON A SOAP OPERA where romance is key. I don't think acting is the right job for you if you are that serious about religion and sexual content and I don't think that's an unfair point of view. Maybe ministry is a better choice for Josh if he feels so strongly about it all.

Eh, I wouldn't say Amanda has ever used her religion as the focal point. She is an Orthodox Jew and practices a modesty code, but has also said things like she respects her marriage and partner and Josh's partner and doesn't want her kids to see "sexual" content of her on the internet. I absolutely respect Amanda's religion and beliefs, but she's continually building it up to be something not about religion just her own, personal choice and JS is just along for the ride being respectful of her beliefs.
