I'd actually give him a rundown of facts on Port Charles, which is more than most actors can say 😂 But, you know, he works in a restaurant where most chefs do lol. Yes, Anthony and the Balkan made bold moves but I would argue they were old, crazy, and slightly feeble. Nothing menacing enough to truly be a threat that Sonny and Jason couldn't work their way out of. Faith was a much better base character as a villain. Even if she was used as basically a weird revenge sex toy. I think the show was trying to get there with Selina Wu, but she's so monotone I don't really listen to what she is saying. But did Kober always speak in such an odd way? The cadence of his speech bothers me so much and I don't know if that's a Cyrus thing or I just need to listen to Kober talk very slowly and pronounce words strangely.

Lol. Same thoughts at the same time

So is my husband. Can he get a job as Sonny's enemy on GH?😂

It's just so tedious. Insert random Sonny villain every few years. It started off better with people like Hernando Rivera, Joe Scully the first, and Frank Smith and it devolved ever since 2nd Alcazar. No one ever wins or causes real damage and we just start over again. The origin villain stories are always thin and never memorable.

I like the idea of Carly/Nina teaming up. I have always thought Carly and some of her adversaries could run Port Charles if they would stop being so petty over men.

Tracy found the Skye secret out and blackmailed Skye and I think Skye ran and cried for Jax to fix it. Considering the multiple babies and baby daddies (all of different ages, genders, and backstories!!!) in the whole Rae story I agree with Tracy's logic. I think they de-Q'ed Skye to pair with Ned of all the things and then walked back on that by having Alan adopt her just because.

She's not by blood. Alan isn't her father. I actually don't know if we know who her father is. Alan legally adopted this 40 plus woman though, so she is a Quartermaine.

Oh, I get your point. I just feel Skye's ties to the Q's are flimsy at best at this point. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing Skye back exactly-it's just not at the top of my wish list. Then again, JJ as Lucky and bringing Lulu back were and I have been underwhelmed so far.

It wasn't a compliment towards Skye. If the show feels the need to bring in a rival for Carly or Nina that has a kid that would fit into that age group there is a much better, obvious choice.

Well, Skye/Tracy fought over Luke for awhile. 🤮 Plus, there was that strange period of time where Skye was actually dating Ned. The last time she was in town she spent most of her time with Jax trying to get the Alcazar fortune she lost back. Nina, Ava, and Carly are all characters in a similar age range taking up a similar space Skye would. I wouldn't mind a non-RC take on the role, but GH never knew what to do with Skye in the first place. She probably would just end up being another person hanging around the Q living room bickering with Tracy.

This is actually my true take, but I am open to Lila Rae and a recast if necessary.

Skye having a baby with Alcazar is also super random to me-and then she's part of his murder. It's all weird lol. I just don't see Emma as a "bad girl" long term, so it would be nice to have a vixen in the group. And hopefully she is cast racially appropriate.

Yeah, I am pretty sure Lila Rae was born in 2006 and would be 19 without any aging. I would probably keep her in that age range to mix it up with Joss, Gio, Emma, Trina, etc.

Well, you know I dislike RC/Skye and I know that you want Gina T for this. That being said, I don't know if RC is "retired" retired. I think she's been saying she's happy with her husband and family on their farm or where ever, but I don't know if she'd turn down work if she was asked. I just don't think she's actively seeking it and no one is asking lol. I agree with @DRW50 and maybe see what Carrie Genzel is up to, but I am fine with Gina for this.

No problem. It's honestly just my opinion from reading between the lines through the years. I am sure other people's mileage will vary on this. It's hard when a character never appeared on the show and you only hear others rhapsodize about her after her death.

I think kicking out a 16 year old Sonny to stay with her abuser was pretty crappy. Plus, giving Ric up entirely to Trevor wasn't solid either. Idk, times were different back then, but it does seem like she chose her abusers over her children. She was obviously a victim and it's sad, but I don't think she ever went above and beyond for either child and was more concerned about keeping a husband. I just don't think she was a very good mother and the show portrays her as a saint.

Considering the fact Adela sounds like a horrible mother no matter how many people pretend she wasn't-that's faint praise.

No. They had no chemistry at all!!!! How dare you? I will say for a brief period I did enjoy the way Sonny was written in regards to Konnie and her DID. Sonny actually did seem understanding and did seem to care for her deeply. Yeah, I suppose Maura and Mo have some chemistry. Ava is fine with Ric. I don't like Ric much anyhow. I have found him useful in this return though.

I mean, when's the last time any leading lady had the chemistry to work with Mo? Tamara Braun? Megan Ward? Some are better than others-I'll give you Watros-but Mo's been a chemistry vacuum for years 😂 There are a lot of RH's on GH. For some reason I thought Annie did have some interaction with Hearst's A-M. I could envision a Ric/Nina pairing with Watros. I don't think Ric/Nina with Stafford was anything more than a rushed stunt.

I honestly don't recall MS's Nina having much to do with Sonny, but it already feels like a physical mismatch to me. I could see RH and Watros working. Did they interact much on Guiding Light together?

No. I pretty much hate any version of Nina to this day. I will say I am the only person ever to think MS's Nina and IR's Jax actually had some chemistry though.😂

Yeah, even the worst couples on the shows in the mid 90's had build up-even Lily/Miguel. And, hey, at least Ricky Martin and Lily Melgar were willing to do love scenes I suppose. Is Nina a Ron creation?

Okay. Your memory sounds about the same as mine. He claimed he was related to Lily to Sonny, Sonny said he'd look into it, and we just never got confirmation one way or the other. I am sure there was probably an actual idea at some point to tie Juan, Sabrina, Carlos, Julian etc together into some plot against Sonny. Ron either got bored or realized no one on canvas besides Sonny would care about characters related to Lily in 2013.

Is Cat a drug addict? I thought she was just badly injured in the accident.

I swear at least Carlos said he was Lily's illegitimate half brother or told Sonny that. I just don't recall if that was true or not. ETA-His soapcentral bio just says "Relatives-unknown (he claims to be Lily's half brother)"-SIC. So..........I guess we just don't know lol.
