LOL he'd never!!

LOL it would have been SUCH a mess with Stafford. Watros is just ... so damn good. The layers she adds to Nina just in her facial expressions alone ... the fear, the struggling to grasp her current reality, etc.

Same. I enjoyed the ending and won't let anyone take away my joy LOL. Dee's been a lot more low key in her reactions over the years. I'd love a little more from her to be honest. I did like her trademark little gasp. LOL Susan Hayes was good today (she's so much better playing understated) and you can tell Bill Hayes is thrilled.

LMAO at Gladys blowing her nose. Watros is doing great work as Nina's real/fake reality is crumbling around her and literally burning to the ground

Thanks. It's just odd. I'm not here for it. I know GH can and was doing better. This was the same show that had Nikolas bursting in with a sopping wet Ava and revealing he was alive .... also the same show that randomly off'd Dev and Dustin, finally killed off Julian and split up the awful couples they were pushing for years. Did Frank get scared and pull back? For drama's sake, I wish they had killed Jordan. But it probably would have had the same impact as her just being randomly sent out of town. It's like they pull back from "going there".

It is weird they do LOL. Griffith and Valentini seem to want Hallmark level drama. And there's nothing wrong with that level of drama - I just want more for my soaps than building and building a story and then pulling the rug out in the reveal. It doesn't have to be toxic "everyone hates each other" Phelps energy but gimme something. And it is interesting how B&B and DAYS seem to blow the chance for some fallout and real drama and go back to "nothing really mattered" let's move on to the next five minute story while Y&R and GH seem to avoid any real drama even when the story is there and writes itself, you know? I didn't explain that well but I see what you see with them. It's so weird.

I'm here for it

I would have him do that. It'd be more entertaining. I imagine Marlena is the devil chaser this go-around (initially) but I also wouldn't be surprised to see her as the last 'victim' of the Devil. Who knows? Lots of ways they could go here. I just hope it's interesting.

Exactly. This writes itself. It's SO soapy. But Frank drains the energy and drama out of everything. But we will see. I think the writers do get it (I have questions about Chris) but who knows. Fault still lies with the writers too. Frank acts like he's scared of there being any *real* drama. He wants to cater some line between all these stanbases or something. It's just so weird.

Sounds more like a Griffith idea to me so it's probably this. I can't see Ashland being Brooks. How on earth does this man still keep his job? Must be nice to just throw out random ideas and call yourself a head writer for years and years. Y&R feels so lost and empty.

Yeah, exactly. He seems like a glutton for punishment lol

If Ron were writing Sonny would walk in on Jason and Carly screwing on his grave and at this point with such little drama I'd be here for it SAME

I could probably list 10 people easily

She really looks great in that video. I'm already bored out of my mind. Can we get a massacre going? Frank is such a buzzkill. Blando and Austin (get it "Dr. GH") suck. I think it's hilarious to see Howarth stans on social media come to his defense after folks are turning on Austin "well he looks good in a tux". And? Howarth is a popular actor with the cast and crew and seems like a great guy but it's time to cut him loose. We shouldn't even be discussing him having his zillionth role. How many years are we going to waste on trying to make this character happen? And Maxie/Austin is plot driven and they have NO chemistry. Not that it will stop them. Ironically Howarth and Amanda Setton have some. HELL, Herbst and Easton even have some. Zamprogna and Monaco have some. Lisa LoCicero looked fabulous. They dress Kirsten Storms so frumpy. But overall they looked good. I'm also tired of how they choose to write certain characters, such as Austin. As we all live through Olivia's dislike of him, of course there's the underlying "Olivia's wrong and Austin is just poor misunderstood Dr. GH" and I wish soaps would stop this [!@#$%^&*]. I appreciated we got some Monica and Bobbie (separate, of course; wouldn't want to give them scenes together and a perspective)

LOL, exactly. And I love the "we talk trash" dude has a superiority complex that he thinks makes him better than us because he talks trash? Um ... LMAO How sad to base your life around what folks post on a message board and then talk about them on another board all the while trying to post on that said board you claim to hate and talk about. But hey if he and others want to waste their energy on us? I'm glad we all have space in your brains I suppose. I just don't get it. But I see what the person is trying to do. I mean, we really aren't that interesting LOL. Definitely won't be wasting my breath further on said poster lol.

I mean, if you were replaced at your last job and heard all day how great your replacement was ... lol If the posters on this board bother you so much ... I mean don't you have another board where you talk about this board ?

Thank you! It's amusing watching folks on social media try to dismiss the declining ratings for GH. Those are the same folks who think Valentini is a savior that can do no wrong. It's also amusing they say there's an 'agenda' (what, with the facts?) but it's really them with the 'nothing to see here' agenda. LOL It's time for a change.

Celeste gets NO love. It's strange. She was with Romeo? I guess that was before I started watching again this year. I can't really see that but get it girl ... lol UGH I need to get caught up!! I was wondering about Leela. And d'oh. I can't believe I called Juliet Peri ... LMAO. I guess they are very similar. Timmy shoves Juliet down the stairs not Peri. Oy. LOL

Kinda my point and pointing out the show doesn't give a [!@#$%^&*]. Yes of course they should.

It actually was. She really won me over in her return to the role, and it helped that they wrote her in character as they would Kate's Abby, and she proved more than capable to me. I'm happy with either her or Kate in the role. I do think it speaks to Freddie's podcast a bit that sometimes writing and direction CAN matter. But he made a lot of poor choices. I think it shows a bit with Marci. The writing was awful for Abby and Marci played it like Abby was on downers. When they wrote the character more like she was and less ... bad ... Miller rose to the occasion.

Well said. I think he probably needs to move on, but I also think he knows his DAYS videos get clicks ... clicks = money ... And frankly, who can blame him for being upset his recast was better received. Like, instantly beloved in the role. That has to sting. I feel bad on a human/empathy standpoint but from a soap fan and someone who wants to be invested in the actors and characters I watch, he made some really bad choices.

All of this The majority of the cast is fine though (definitely some dead weight and I'd swap a few folks out for familiar faces). It has potential. But there's no real direction currently. No one seems to have much of a purpose. Some dangling story threads. It's all very empty. Some energy would be nice. I felt that with the fire but the camera work was annoying .... And I think some of that has to do with many of the characters being ... worn out. Kinda like Corrie. You have so many characters just ... around and it's likely because they were damaged in the writing and played out.

That's how I feel. But we have 50 year old Billy sooooo ... lol Like I said in the news thread, will be very nice to see her. I'm glad they bothered, truthfully.

Will be nice to see her

I appreciate them finally approaching "Jarly" and the drama it could cause. It still reads years too late but the nauseating trio needed a shakeup. They were a little clumsy in their handling of it though.
