Oh, sure you can talk about it but we don't need to re-explore it. I am not sure if half the things LK's Lois did are even part of the Lois canon anymore though.

Lol! It does honestly, but I didn't think of that until you said it. I just thought it was a stupid name. I guess it's better than Black Johnson?🤣

I wouldn't mind Alcazar coming back long term even. I just want to stay away from the Lois/Alcazar romance. Even though I am sure TK and Rena would have good chemistry the pairing felt wildly out of character. I am all in on a Jax recast though.

Joy should be a villain or at least a bit of a vixen. 3 "nice" people in a triangle gets boring quick. I felt Rafe was going to end up at BlackPatch too. It makes sense. It's depressing, but Steve can't really keep it going alone.

Yay! One person on my side lol. It would be an easy thread to pick up because Jax even mentioned he had a thing for Lois when Lesli Kay's Lois appeared. Plus, there are a few places Jax can still be used on the canvas. I heard some people say bring Ted King back and while I don't mind the idea of Alcazar back I'd rather forget about his romance with Lois. I don't think you are giving the show too much credit. I had similar thoughts while watching. Cody never really got a good look at Lulu. And he didn't actually know Lulu so her voice, mannerisms, even build wouldn't be especially familiar to him if he only saw pictures.

The way the show has always framed it to me is that Wendy/Tripp are on an extended vacation/trip. I don't think Tripp needs a new license to practice because I think the general intention is to come back to Salem at some point. So it's like a sabbatical or extended leave.

Joey took a trip to visit Wendy and Tripp in Hong Kong. Roman was still feeling ill after his poisoned cupcake and was resting upstairs. They mentioned both things in the episode. The pizza joke makes sense because it's referencing the Q Thanksgivings for Wally/Ned. It was "wink, wink" but wasn't as obnoxious as usual.

I know it definitely happens in real life and I wouldn't even mind if that's what Days was going for. Unfortunately I don't think it is at all. It appears Days is trying to sell this as love or at least the beginnings of a great relationship. I haven't read spoilers lately, but if Javi turns out to be the new Lady Whistleblower it might make this story more intriguing.

3 days. They met. Javi/Leo texted the next day and apparently spent the night together. The next morning they broke up. I am not even wildly guessing. One of the two of them confirmed that timeline on the show. It's ridiculous

At least Joy/Johnny made some sense. The show was keeping it vague for a reason. It makes no sense to not see Javi/Leo do much of anything romantic and immediately break them up. For a character Ron is so invested in, Leo really gets the most obnoxious material. It does feel intentional sometimes.

Oh, no, you didn't. I was speaking in general about Lexi vs. Kate because I see it come up a lot.

Ha! I totally forgot about the cult story. I guess she did get material there. I may sound like I have the attention span of a gnat, but I found the DOD story to be bad and also really confusing. Like they kept connecting more and more characters to the guy (Shilo?) and I couldn't follow it anymore lol. I don't think Lexi turned down a contract. I think GH let her say what she wanted to the public due to her long tenure with the show. It's really hard to imagine Lexi in this current Kristina story. I think she was quietly let go.

My biggest problem with Javi/Leo isn't actually Leo for once. This "romance" was horribly paced and written. Why should I care even if I liked Leo? They have admittedly said on screen they've known one another for a few days. They flirted a bit, shared some texts, had a few conversations, then woke up in bed together the next morning. We didn't even see anything romantic, sexy, or even anything beyond basic attraction. Putting my dislike of both characters aside, I have yet to see anything rootable about them.

I don't get the Lexi vs. Kate Kristina posts. Mansi immediately got lead, juicy material and Lexi got......to appear 10 times a year? Lol. You can't really compare the two. GH recast and decided to write for Kristina. It's not like Lexi was poorly performing heavy material or anything. Obviously, Lexi's Kristina didn't inspire the writing team, but I still think that's more based on both her and (Haley Pullos) very young looking appearances.

Yup. That's why I have a hard time buying anything GH or FV are selling us. I keep hearing Disney/ABC/whoever wants a huge cast, but main characters are dropping like flies. Of course, Michael and Sam aren't great examples of characters I'd keep, but I'd keep them both before I'd waste money on ELR, MEK, Cyrus, Brennen or keep around other various dead weight characters.

I have a hard time picturing Lois with anyone currently on canvas not named Ned. Since that's not possible the show needs to hire. At least we were spared Sonny/Lois. When Rena first returned I was a little worried about some of the vibes the Sonny/Lois scenes were giving off.

I can't even imagine Lois/Martin together. Just because they are two popular soap actors from the 90's doesn't mean they should be paired together. What on earth would they even have in common? Lois has more in common with Jason lol.

It makes sense. Again, I am not asking for a Jax recast, but Lois was the first woman in PC to catch his eye and it would work if they found someone with good chemistry with Rena. And I assume it wouldn't be terribly hard to find someone that has chemistry with Rena. It would give Lois some viable tension with Carly and Sonny and something to do. It's just a thought, but they need to give Rena something to do and hire her a love interest stat.

Lol! I was thinking Lois might have more of a problem with it than Brenda. It would also position Carly/Lois as rivals and I know Carly doesn't need more enemies or anything, but it's never sat right with me that Lois is perfectly fine with Carly currently. Lois should have numerous issues with her in general because she has integrity.

Yeah, I too struggle to find a place for him and frankly think Jax lasted longer on the canvas than he should have. I spent years complaining Jax did nothing! Outside of the Brenda and Carly pairings Jax just said Sonny was the worst for decades. If you really want to bring Jax back I'd say find someone that works well with Rena and maybe go for a Lois/Jax pairing. It's a little weird on Lois's part to go after Brenda's sloppy seconds, but it's been so long I would give that a pass.

Agreed. I get more sense of dread that GH is going to be cancelled than Days even though they shoot in a cardboard box. It does feel like the end is closer than I want or think for GH. I know people talk about Frank and how good he manages budgets, but it seems like they are always scrambling for more money and aren't making proper cuts elsewhere. I have no love for KeMO or Duell, but I would be super upset if I was asked to take a pay cut/airtime cut after years of service too.

Say what you will about Duell/Michael. I know I have lol. I don't think it's ever a good sign to lose a 15 year vet especially right after Kelly's firing. I have no idea if it's a paycut situation or CD just being bored. It's just makes me think morale is low on the GH set. And, you know, fire the 50 recurring characters you have before making everyone and their mother take cuts.

LOL! It's crazy how much Ingo dropped his own accent. I'll be honest, I don't think Harrington would have been a BAD Jax recast and it's certainly more believable than him as a Jagger recast-I just think AH lacked some charm and charisma that Jax requires.

I love Jax as a character. I have always loved Jax even if Ingo is a deplorable human. I struggle to find him necessary on the current canvas. Sure, Joss needs one more person to tell her how awesome she is and Carly does need a love interest-I just don't see the need for Jax. I would ditch the Australian accent and open up the casting prospects if the show decided to bring him back though.

I also liked Phillip/Stephanie back in the day. And hilariously, Stephanie's hair looks almost identical to Shelly Hennig's hair at the time so that was a strange comment. I actually find JPL to have a lot of charm and charisma, but, man, he is so wrong for Phillip. It's crazy. @Bright Eyesas an obnoxious white woman myself I find LG annoying af. It's not just you. She's just so unlikeable. She has these strange acting tics where she's trying to be cute or spunky or something, but it's so irritating.
