Stone Jr. has some potential only because of Wagger's murder and the fact he's autistic. We still don't know who is mother is. NO ONE suggest Brenda! He could be the ADA's son. In any event, there's nothing truly long term there. I'd still kill off Wiley over Donna because that is reaching Violet levels of obnoxious. Plus, I don't want another era of Chloe Lanier dominating the show.

The show recast Gina Cates in the 1996 or 1997 with some blonde actress, who was a non-entity. She worked at Luke's, was teased with Jason, then disappeared. It wouldn't be the worst idea to make ADA Turner Gina Cates I suppose, but I don't think the ADA Turner character needs to exist, so I won't worry about her much. Bringing Jagger's Autistic son back would have more potential, but, again, I am fine leaving the Wagger mess alone. I did think the show had good cliffhangers for once. At this point I would keep the little girl that plays Donna over Wiley. Donna is adorable and natural, but the little boy that plays Wiley is just awful. I know he's a child, but I would really consider offing one of Michael's kids at this point. If I have to see Wiley this often and in emotional scenes at least recast him.

Interesting. I have never heard this. I always figured Michael would inevitably take over, but Duell's Michael would not be believable as a mob boss. It's actually a bit odd none of Sonny's kids have shown much interest in the business. I am glad that Dante story didn't play out, but Dante turning a blind eye to Sonny/Jason's misdeeds year after year as a cop isn't great either. I honestly don't think it would have been the worst story for Dante. I just don't see it working long term.

Yeah, I remember people being excited about the pairing and wanting Brook and Chase to hook up and I think I recall liking them. Idk, the pairing got stale really quickly for me.

The thing about Chase and Brook Lynn is they have very little in common. Not even in an opposites attract way. They are so different in almost every aspect from career to style that they never seemed like an endgame couple to me. The pairing is relatively harmless yet AS and JS don't have enough chemistry to pull the pairing off and Chase frankly has more in common with Willow.

Today was a particularly bad wardrobe day for Setton while JS is hanging around shirtless. I think Willow will absolutely get pregnant by Chase. I want her to somehow manipulate it to look like Michael's kid through.

I could see it being a culmination of things for Chase. Brook Lynn telling him about the pregnancy and adoption suddenly after years, Dante being the father, Gio being the son, and the fact Chase had to keep it all a secret. Now, BLQ wants to put off the adoption plans with Chase? It's enough to make anyone break. Brook Lynn doesn't even appear that grateful for Chase's constant support. She's always going on about Gio and her problems. She really doesn't seem fun to married to.

I tried to watch Jordan's scenes today and pay attention to see if I like her more, but I still don't understand her plan or the fact she had to buy a new home so Sidwell wasn't suspicious. That makes no sense. She'd be the most useless character on the show today, but ADA Turner was around and Sonny was flirting with her😑 Anyway, Chase loves a damsel in distress and Willow is a prime candidate. I was hoping for more Willow/Drew shenanigans but that can come later. I really think Brook Lynn needs to chill out about not having a baby until things with Gio can be repaired. She's putting her and Chase's life on hold for something that might never happen. She needs to give it time instead of harping on it every conversation. And, yeah, Gio isn't a great lifeguard, but maybe Donna will drown and @Vee will get their wish. Drew is awful lol. I had to laugh when he told Molly they'd never see Scout again. That's so extreme.

Half these kids appear so infrequently I forget they exist. Georgie, Bailey, Ace, Leo-even Avery. They are on a few times a year. GH should do that old sitcom thing where the middle child disappears after the first season and is never spoken of again to cull some of them. I'd be fine with that. They should have renamed Wylie back to Jonah. I don't love that name either, but it's better.

Lol! I didn't think he was that bad.

Yeah, Avery and Donna are redundant. One needs to be aged or sent off. Giving Sonny two later in life daughters makes no sense. At least make one of them a boy or make Avery Morgan's kid.

That's a really good point. Charlotte should have been the catalyst to Rocco feeling neglected and looking into his conception/birth.

I like Hudson West. I'd bring him back too. The show really does need to age Georgie a bit and bring on another female. You could age up Avery. I like the Asian Quarter idea better, so the show will go with Avery lol. I suppose Storms "break" and Bradford's availability probably makes aging Georgie difficult. Honestly, Felicia and Mac could pick up the slack there though.

Agreed. I think the kids are good in this moment. I don't see either actor continuing the characters into adulthood like JJ as Lucky or Amber as Emily. Although the show did keep Haley Pullos. I am still perplexed as to why Jake and Aidan have disappeared. I'll preface this by saying I don't care if I ever see Charlotte again and I am fine with her erasure on the show. It is odd she's not even slightly involved in the Rocco story. They were supposed to be close and they could compare notes on both being stolen embryos.

Mazza isn't the best at anger, but he's improved so much since he started I believe he will continue to get more comfortable. Isn't this his first acting job? He was more of an entertainer with his music before I think. I agree that the young actors that play Rocco and Danny are quite good though. I would be shocked if we saw either character ever again, especially Alcazar. I think Swickard is much better than Tanisha Harper. He seems able to keep up with the actors around him, so he never sticks out in a bad way to me. I think the character is useless though. I don't think Tanisha is coasting or not trying. She's just not very good and miscast. She looks the same age as her (invisible) son. Unfortunately, Jordan has always been a thankless role that doesn't have a lot of purpose. Vinessa Antoine had the ability to sell the character, but Jordan's never been a high priority for the writers and moves from random story to random story.

I was complimenting Outback on his ability to hit his marks better than Mo these days😂 Tanisha/Jordan is like a break time character for me. Jordan doesn't outright offend me, but the minute she's on screen I think about dishes that might need to be done or laundry that might need to be washed and completely check out. I just think Harper is very miscast in the role.

Hey, I at least think Tanisha Harper is part human/android. I am not sure Rachel Boyd is anything but a robot. I swear even the actress playing Ari, who was talking, was like what the eff are you looking at Sophia? But that's for the Days thread...... I'd list so many actors before GM as worst on GH. Honestly, Outback the dog is more talented than some of the GH cast.

Listen, I had to watch Rachel Boyd as Sophia on Days today try to emote, so Tanisha Harper doesn't even seem that bad. Tanisha tries to convey emotion once and awhile. I still think she's robotic as heck, but she's not distracted by one extra walking by Horton Town Sqaure like Sophia.

Fair enough. GM is an odd choice to go after when it seems like Gio is pretty much universally well liked among the audience.

I think Giovanni Mazza is a real find for the show. He's a good actor, has musical talent, is hot, and has charisma to spare. I mean, that checks more boxes than half the cast on GH. He is definitely not the worst actor on the show lol.

I am sure Rachel Boyd is a lovely woman and I hate harping on how awful she is, but she's barely believable as a human being while acting. She kept looking sideways while Ari was talking and it's so distracting. The children on the show are much more natural actors than she is. I love how Chad/Cat having strep throat is so debilitating. It sucks, but like, people get it everyday without having to stop their entire lives. I think the jury has only been sequestered for a few hours. I believe it's the same day? Also it was hilarious Tate and Holly could have sex, Belle drove home, checked the mail, came upstairs and caught Tate/Holly while EJ/Marlena were having one conversation.

It does remind me a bit of Brenda and Lucky's returns. But they were characters the audience actually cared about, so the isolation wasn't as awful as watching Britt throw tantrums. Or hit on "married" men like she did today. And believe me it becomes an A plot right as of right now.

Sophia's actions make no sense. Obviously, the actress is very weak, but no part of her "plan" works. MK's Sophia was a bit of a vixen with some ulterior motive's while Rachel Boyd's Sophia comes off pathetic. She basically had a golden ticket with the baby (even if it's Aaron's) because it's clear Tate has some affection for Sophia. Sophia needs a recast and a new personality to be a viable spoiler for Holly/Tate.

I think I recall Luke saying Foster died as well. Luke was kinda a downer. The dog story was silly-ish. But it provided some levity in a heavy Labine era. I don't think the minor dog story took away any potential airtime from Wyatt. It's was like 10 mins a month lol. Wyatt's time on the show just didn't match the era anymore. Although I am sure others would disagree. No disrespect for Sean/Tiffany, but they did feel slightly dated in the 90's. ETA-I am not saying you couldn't find story for Sean/Tiffany, but I felt their story concluded very naturally and the characters just moved on.

I wonder what happened to Courtney's cute dog that disappeared after Jason gave it to her in 2002. Everything about Britt's entire existence is stupid and that's all I'll say for today. Stealing embryos is obviously illegal and gross, but it's not like Britt cared about the actual human she was stealing.
