And thank goodness for that!

Someone at B&B's PR department forced him to say that sh!t.

Betty could have come from a working-class background, and I am assuming her singing career never really took off.

Nothing but enable Frank Valentini to employ his yes people and craft the show to his wants with disastrous results.

This show doesn’t have hope for a fresh creative direction unless Frank Valentini gets fired. I hope the ratings continue on their downward trajectory so ABC can see he’s consistently been the problem for a while.

Frank's pets - telling that he never made any public announcement when PM joined (or was fired), but is quick to acknowledge this new change as soon as its credited.

Basically Frank's pets.

This is the new HW-ing team, folks, as we all expected, lol

Hopefully they have the option to shop this to other streamers/networks if Netflix passes.

Hunter has a problematic history behind the scenes (holding up production, being late, etc.). Honestly, it's a wonder Brad kept her as long as he did, but I think he finally gave up on her at some point, and I think the feeling is mutual now.

I don't even think they needed any ties to the original cast to do this reboot (and chronologically, wouldn't Dwyane and Whitney's daughter be like 30 now, lol, unless they say it's another/younger daughter). I would have just had Dwyane and maybe Kim or Freddie pop up as occasional professors. But nonetheless, great news and I hope it gets ordered by Netflix. It's long overdue for this concept to get the reboot treatment.

Frank Valentini should be fired.

Someone in wardrobe definitely hated Genie in the 90’s. Her weight issues also gave them an excuse to dress her beyond matronly.

Miss Piggy for NuLulu on GH!

This show is ridiculous and Brad Bell continues to be out of touch with reality.

I have never liked or enjoyed Emmy Rylan's acting in any role, like ever. Also agree on Stephanie Gatschet being of the blandest daytime actresses ever in the 00's. I think I randomly stumbled on her Instagram a few months back - seems like she's in the health & wellness space now and doesn't act anymore.

I wonder if Betty’s background as a singer will be utilized and if they expect her to bust a tune from time to time. They had to have given that character a singing background for a reason, I guess? If so, it’s probably best to cast a theatrically trained actress for a part like that, but then again, plenty of singers based in Atlanta as well.

How about casting people do their jobs and find actors suitable for the role vs. any random blonde that once had a daytime role?

I suspect for the older/veteran actors based in LA or NYC, doing a grueling daytime show produced in Atlanta might not be in the cards. It will definitely be interesting to see if they do land any “big” veteran performers.

Ava should be paraded around as the town monarch for helping to end Kristina’s pregnancy once and for all.

IMO, it says a lot that Sheila went to MVJ and not Jamey Giddens to help create the network’s first soap opera with a predominantly black cast. I think we’re lucky things worked out this way…

Thank goodness this unnecessary baby is dead.

Whoever is writing this mess has succeeded in making me hate Anna and want to hurl every time she’s on.

Ah, yes, totally forgot MVJ wrote for Debbi on Generations and obviously JHC was the AMC EP when Debbi returned there. I’ve said it before, but Debbi has more than earned the right to be a soap opera matriarch at this stage of her career and this is a good legacy piece as @ReddFoxx said. She could be to this show what Susan Flannery was to B&B when leveraged at her best.
