I forgot both Sabrina and Britt were allegedly gay icons. Kelly Thiebaud is just a cold actress and inherently unlikeable, IMO. Similar to RC's Skye. They can be decent utility players and work in some sense at different times but Britt in particular had very little depth besides constant medical issues and had to birth one of Lulu's kids of course. She was meant to be the heavy in the Patrick/Robin/Sabrina plot and they kept Britt far too long because that's what GH does. Lisa Niles walked so Britt could run. She worked fine with Steve, but as you said, she was practically the only actress available not named Liz, Sam, or Carly at that point.

I liked Morgan a little better than Britt. BC and KT turned me off so long ago with their comments that I just don't care. They basically both asked to be killed off and........now are available because they can't book work. I am not advocating adding more characters to the canvas, but I would giggle if both Morgan and Britt were recast. I'll give Kelly a bit of credit for make a meaningless character somewhat relevant. I was never a fan of that Dr. Obrect/Faison/Nathan/family era though and to me she's sort of in the same category as Nelle, Sabrina, Sasha, Willow who are all related to some people on canvas just because.

It's strange the show has kept him really dead. His death had zero impact on me because I always assumed he'd be back at some point. Morgan isn't really missed on the canvas. Sometimes Sonny talks about him, but other than that no one really cares lol. I have always thought Morgan was a more interesting character than Michael though.

Instead of the custody trial we've heard about for MONTHS that was resolved in 2 scenes with what I assume was the same 50/50 split they had before, I would have had Ava reveal at the trial that Morgan was the father. I can't believe what a huge waste of time this entire "story" was. The ending was so anti-climatic. With Michael gone a case could be made to bring Morgan back, but I don't care one way or the other. We know Brian Craig is available though lol.

I don't get the entire lack of drama in the plot. Sonny should have had some sort of major heart attack that necessitated a need for a new heart or he'd die. It's a very fixable problem that's entirely in his control. Currently, it's like one of those ads for your heart health or a new medicine you see during the commercial break instead of a story with any weight.

If Sonny was impotent it would probably be worse than death for him lol. Could you even imagine Mo playing that?😂 I actually wondered IF I missed a throwaway line about TJ leaving. I actually thought Sonny/Nina ended abruptly too. I think it was during PM's short stint where the show seem to be angling towards Nina/Drew/Willow and possibly Sonny/Ava/insanity. Unless, the show is serious about the Natalia nonsense I don't think pivoting back to Nina/Sonny is a bad idea. I do think Sonny seemed pretty disinterested in Nina today while Nina seemed more in her feels.

Correct. It's so out of touch. The stakes aren't even as high as dying/pregnant. You either get the surgery or you will croak at anytime Sonny. There's no one else's (hypothetical) life at risk here besides his own. And the whole Sasha mess is almost as bad. All Sasha should have to say is I got pregnant. It was a one night stand. Can you please respect me and my choice to not talk about it? She's an adult in her 30's. Leave her alone.

This Sonny story is such a non-story. Have the surgery or you die. Just figure it out. Why are we talking about it so much? Where is TJ? Is he just gone? Molly and Cody aren't the worst thing I have ever seen, but its unnecessary. At least the dog lives, but that was a really stupid thing for Sasha to do. Instead of creating this chaos why not have Jason cover Sasha/Michael's tracks instead? I am sure Jason can do that after spending 5 min in jail over Cyrus.

Yeah, I was taking Belle, Brady, and of course EJ's Sorasing out of the equation. None of it will make sense. I would agree Kristen was 8-10 years younger than John, but I believe Peter was her older brother. With the very minimal knowledge we have about the Blakes, Rachel was married to their father and both children seemed planned. There's no indication Rachel was a teen mother or anything. I also took into to consideration that Stefano doesn't generally go after much younger women in the way someone like Victor did. So basically considering Eileen is 65, Jason Brooks is 58, and Stacy is 56 nearing 60 seemed fair. If Rachel had the kids between 20-28 ish 80 seems like a pretty generous estimation of her age. And that is my hypothetical math on trying to play the wacky "how old is everyone in Salem" game. 😂

I would think Rachel would be older than Maggie. Even Julie's age is a stretch. She was introduced as someone who knew John as a young priest implying she was quite a bit older than both John and Marlena. I don't think Stefano was necessarily younger than Rachel. That whole backstory is a moot point now because it was of course changed, but I would guess Rachel to be at least a decade older than John/Marlena putting her roughly at 80-85. I consider Maggie more of a contemporary to John and Marlena. Considering all the work she had done due to her scarring I suppose it's possible Rachel just looks young, but there's no way she's not in her 80's at this point. Both Peter and Kristen should be nearing their 60's by now in real time.

Exactly. That's what makes the age gap weird. Physically SM and SBu don't look that odd together, it's the history that makes it strange. Honestly, the whole story is strange including everyone just taking Cody's word for it and basically the town just demanding Sasha tell them her private business. I don't understand why anyone cares that much about who Sasha's baby daddy is.

I agree. The show literally just could have said Rachel Sr. has been keeping up with Kristen's life from afar. Instead, Rachel knew nothing about Stefano being dead and they implied she wasn't up to date on anything. 🙄 So, Rachel Sr.'s first assumption should have been John was the father of Rachel Jr because her last name was Black and Kristen was obsessed with him last she knew. I also believe Kristen was still actually pregnant when Rachel "died", but obviously that kid would be older. Instead, Rachel Sr. doesn't find it strange at all her daughter had a baby with someone she was a stepmother to and has known since they were a baby. Obviously, that's not odd or dysfunctional at all so they need to kill Ava so Rachel Jr. can have a family. Anyway, it would have just taken a few throw away lines in the show for Kristen to say "it's a long story I'll explain it to you later" or just give her a brief rundown. Are you really even using history if you are basically ignoring everything about the Aremid story to begin with?
