Joss is nowhere near the top of my list to keep currently. I just wouldn't kill her off and consider bringing her back sometime down the line. I guess it depends on how well the show is able to develop the next generation of talent with Rocco, Danny, Georgie, etc.

Lol. I still believe there is a place for Joss on the canvas. This just isn't it and I am not sure Eden McCoy is the right choice for the role.

I am ready for Joss to take a nice long trip to see her father in Australia and give the character a break and a recast. If the show is hell bent on keeping Eden at least give the girl stories that play to some of EM's strengths. Dead boyfriends, sex tapes, trying to become a Dr., and now a spy? None of that works for a character that should be a bitchy, spoiled brat causing trouble in the background. Not the younger leading heroine.

Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen. Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious. Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.

It was overkill and the whole narrative Lois was too nice to the orphan kid when he was little, WHAT? Like Emma said no one thinks Gio is a troublemaker that gets 14-year-old kids drunk for fun. That being said, Lulu figured this Gio thing out in episode, but Brook Lynn never once questioned Lois and Gloria's attachment to a child that was the same age as the baby she gave up? Ever?

I do get your point about the Q's stuff with Lois back in the day. I will say there were a lot more Quartermaines and a lot more stupid, corrupted plotting in the 90's. I think the show went out of their way to make Lois seem almost naive, unprepared for such an insane family The whole idea that Lois had to move far away from Ned and PC to raise Brook Lynn was a bit flimsy for me as well. I mean, no judgement, but BLQ still got knocked up as a teenager lol. I appreciated Lois was also hard on Sonny back then. Lois could clearly see his flaws even if she loved him. Yeah, Sonny, Carly and Jason don't really deserve human connections with anyone but themselves lol. I always have wondered if the show did want to re-pair Jason/Sam and whatever happened with Kelly happened.

I always thought Lois was such a unique character and considered her supporting her first run. She was in a lot of different places on the canvas, but I don't think she had more focus than Brenda or Robin at her peak. With Ned basically out of the picture Lois doesn't quite have enough ties on the canvas to make her relevant and the show has done very little to give her new relationships and friendships. She's stuck in the Q mansion most of the time. Oh, I agree it's a problem across the board for GH. The only stable couples on the show are Brook Lynn/Chase and Portia/Curtis. Unseen Olivia/Ned and Kevin/Laura are happily married I suppose. Eventually I am sure Liz/Lucky and Dante/Lulu will get their romance, but is there any other couple that's even rootable? I can't recall an era when Jason, Carly, and Sonny were all at such loose romantic ends at the same time. Which is fine. However no other romance besides Willow/Drew is being focused on.

I agree. Rena doesn't seem to mind the lighter workload and seems happy though. Strangely, a lot of the veteran cast are without viable love interests-Sonny, Nina, Lois, Jason, Tracy, Alexis, Carly (Brennan doesn't count). The show lacks serious interest in romance.

I always hoped they'd change Parker's paternity back to Phillip. I guess it doesn't matter since Chloe is off the show currently. I don't recall Holly or Maggie mentioning Parker, so it's not they are close to him.

I thought Dante was overreacting. Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried. It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk. Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.

His (adoptive) nieces. Chelsea and Stephanie. I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.

Carly also has Nikki (Nicholas) with Lawrence. The easiest way to remember Chelsea is to think about how she was buried, stillborn, premature in a swamp and came back to life. Or you can just remember her running over Bo/Hope's kid Zack. Kind of ballsy to name her kid Issac if you ask me lol.

Yeah. Let's just move on and talk about Jagger....lol 100% agree on the Sonny situation. Mostly because I want Sonny to get a murder charge so he can just go live on an island with Brenda. I think Tracy did do a lot to explain Jason's perspective on AJ's murder. I truly think that's how Jason justifies it in his own head. I don't think he was lying about his feelings. They are just wrong.

Lol. That's fair. I really liked ASJ's Jagger when I was young.

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.
