Fair. I'll do all the talking with Gina Tognoni and discuss our casting ideas with her.😂

I am pretty sure my posts on this board over the last 15 years *might* make Vanessa think I am obsessed with her so I probably don't want to make her to go with me anywhere lol.

lol. The Laura/Sonny friendship talk nearly made me want to drive to the studio and force him to retire. "It's an exciting time to be your friend Sonny." What!? Why? Laura Spencer isn't as gullible as I am and shouldn't believe Sonny's words.

Sure! Any excuse not to hire Vanessa back lol. Unrelated but Sonny and Laura slobbering all over one another saying they are like family does not compute for me. Even Donna (child actress to be clear) couldn't save this episode for me. Lois/Brook Lynn were interesting and good. I couldn't get over Rena's clock earrings and BLQ's paperclip ones though. This story seems to be quickly tightening up finally.

Lol! I don't even think Gina is stopping Brenda here. She'll probably be hired as

Oh, you know I rag on GH all the time and agree with most of your statements. I find BTG just much more uneven in acting and episode quality. It's still finding its footing so I am hopeful and rooting for it.

I hope VK never finds this corner of the internet and thinks I am obsessed with her boobs.😂 I mean, I kind of am, but I promise I am a married straight lady and won't stalk you Victoria!😆 RSW really doesn't bother me as much as everyone else here. Ben should have played out his arc and never come back the first time. I really don't know why Days and GH are so obsessed with bringing actors back in different roles like the audience is stupid and is blinded by some glasses or a blonde wig.

Haha. I really wouldn't mind a Hope comeback. I was very tired of her when she left though. I have always felt Bo can survive without Hope as a character while Hope is extremely reliant on Bo for good story. I mean at least we might get to Ciara/VK's boobs back on display so there is that😂 and a RSW dual role!!!!

I don't really care lol. Hope was on my last nerve for at least a decade before she left.

I do believe Peter will return full time one day. It seems like the recent losses may have changed his views and perspective on Days. And Bo is truly needed on this show now more than ever. I think we all know I am not much of a Bo/Hope fan, but I am a Bo fan.

See, I did think about that. Lucas has a case here. I was under the impression that Kate overcompensated with Austin and Billie because she didn't raise them. Plus, I also factored in how pro-Austin/Carrie and how anti-Sami/Lucas she was. Austin just seems like the least screwed up one and caused minimal trouble. Kate doesn't feel like a 'girl mom' so I'd rank it- 1. Austin 2. Lucas 3. Billie 4. Phillip 5. Rex 6. Cassie Phillip doesn't top any list for me in the end. He's obviously Victor's least favorite child too.

The Kate/EJ scenes were great! Weren't EJ/Kate once an item? Back in the early James Scott years? Kate's really been around so it's hard to recall. I always thought Austin was her favorite child, not Phillip lol. I put Phillip above Rex and Cassie, but below Austin, Lucas and Billie. Good scenes with Rafe and Johnny as well. Galen Gering works really well with younger actors in general. Much better than with love interests. Is that the first time we've seen an exterior shot of Rafe's house? It's pretty nice. Javi was completely obnoxious today. Leo didn't even bother me for once. How rude is it to just have Leo move in? Javi doesn't even pay rent and Gabi is not just his roomate but his boss. She has extremely valid reasons to not want Leo around. Javi just completely ignored her. I am sure Jada didn't think she was going to be living with four other adults when she agreed to move in with Rafe. She's better off at Stephanie's.

Well I think most of her creative decisions have been awful lol. The show usually looked pretty good under JFP. I think FV has very similar flaws to her as well so it's not a huge upgrade. I think Frons and to a lesser extent Guza were more to blame than JFP in the end. There are just multiple women who have had less than nice things to say about working with her so she was still obviously a problem. I agree. I am not sure I would kill Luke off (again, for real, lol). I really love Kevin and JL. I just can't imagine that truly being Laura's endgame. I am not creative enough to know how to craft a Luke/Laura reunion tale though.

I initially thought the idea of Tracy/Luke was inspired. I enjoyed something different for both of them and something a bit comedic. I am not sure if it ever should have been long term. The well was pretty dry as far as story goes once they fell in love for real and it was just a serious of Luke doing something bad, Tracy getting mad, and then taking him back over and over. On the other hand, I also thought their wedding in 2010 or 2011? was lovely (whatever one that Sonny rudely proposes to Brenda in the middle of). It was a nice conclusion to their story and it was then immediately ruined by Luke running down his grandson and becoming an "alcoholic". I think Tracy works better on her own and even Laura has a solid place on the canvas without Luke. Idk, I still think the show will end with Luke/Laura if Tony is available.

😂 Oh, I made my peace with that years ago. I am not even sure I like Sonny anymore. He is just like the toxic friend you defend even though you know they are awful. I don't think BTG is much better than GH. The acting certainly isn't for the most part. There is a freshness and energy that BTG has that GH and other current soaps lack. I feel like everyone working on BTG is passionate and excited about the show. GH seems to just move along on factory settings just getting a show out every day. I understand why everyone is gushing over BTG, but if I am just comparing episode to episode I think GH is more consistent daily. Sometimes its consistently boring though. Like you said, let's see how everyone feels in 6 months or a year. This isn't really here nor there, but I remember dipping out of Passions after a week so BTG seems to be doing better than that lol.

It really felt like forever and there wasn't a very clear answer on when Laura was coming back either. And 1997 was kind of a mess overall so Laura's absence didn't help. I agree with this assessment but was Luke any different? And she was always going to be second fiddle to Luke/Laura even if the show paints it a bit more even.

I have already fell into a shame spiral for taking that bait....

But you are still saying you apologize for offending anyone and you don't care. Go wild with your opinions, but you loosely putting a disclaimer or a deemed apology on your posts doesn't make it right. It's saying a bunch of offensive stuff and then saying I hope I don't offend anyone when you will. Read the room-you've gotten away with a lot of awful things here and I am sure you know the one thing that still really upsets me.

Donna you can google word salad like I assume you did the word parlance. An apology is admitting you are sorry or wrong. You are literally doubling down on a Carly/Jason agenda when I actually like both characters. If you want to waste your own time you can go and read all my posts for the last decade and I was pretty neutral on all the Jason/Liz/Sam wars. And I am one of the few people that don't have you on block here.

I agree it might be a pairing you keep in your back pocket in case everything else fails, but that's it. To me it's over but still so unresolved. Then again Lucky/Liz are the more destined pair and unresolved as well. I have always thought BH and SBu had great chemistry at the start. Then it got so messy and complicated that it just doesn't feel like a life choice Liz would make now as a grown woman with kids.

😂 100% agree I was out at the use of the word parlance.

Yeah, no. Jizzer is not a current parlance or a word that is used often even on this board dedicated to soaps. And I am pretty sure no one in the audience was afraid Carly was going to die. There were like 5 people there to help Carly get through her tragic, tragic ordeal. So Jason should care more about his children that were once presumed dead and/or when Jason himself was presumed dead to make up for lost time. To be clear I am not offended or even annoyed. The word salad apologies don't add up for me. Sorry!

I don't even care about Jason and Liz at all, but I think they have a stronger fanbase than the 5 people that think Jason/Carly are endgame.

Why did someone stating an opinion about Liz's child with Lucky become something about Jason/Liz? No one brought that up and honestly if we are using goofy squish names for couples use Liason at least. Jizzer is disgusting and stupid and hasn't been relevant since 2005. I mean, Jason should probably be bonding with his own son instead of coddling Carly who I am 100% sure will live for many more days and years.

I really can't find much on Guza from 2003 in the soap press. Not about personal issues, but just quotes in general. That could possibly line up if he did take a leave then. I thought I remembered him talking about the Deadman's hand saga with Sam, but I can't even find that. It's also 22 years ago though and if I was Guza I would have scrubbed that entire story from the internet as well.
