It's just two characters of color paired together so the show can say they are and that it's a 'story'. The fact that she can't act and Jordan is inherently a non-character has always been inconsequential to Frank. He keeps plenty of useless characters or bad actors on the show. Finally getting rid of Jordan would mean adding another Black female and having to write for her to at least introduce her. FV clearly has no interest in expending that energy for the Black canvas, so it's easy to just keep Jordan (and Curtis, and many useless white characters as well) ticking along.

Those covers and that lighting make too many of the women look beyond ancient. Poor Jessie Wallace.

Yep.

I think BK is fine where she is. Portia has turned out to be a strong character for the hospital and Brook has been a commanding presence in the role, plus she has Trina. I'd kill Curtis and leave Portia where she is. I would bring on Keesha and plenty of Wards (and put Portia with a new Justus). I'd just dump all the Ashfords except Trina, Portia and recurring Stella.

Oh yeah.

Grim! No wonder he drank.

Lord. I'll have to listen to this.

Oh, I didn't realize they got married that first go-round. My mistake. The whole Tom Baldwin return in the mid-'70s seems ridiculous to me though. How many doomed or dead love interests did Lee go through before Gail BTW? Not counting Meg. IIRC both his wife and teenage stepson died before Gail.

He's still better than her, and he has no idea where he is most days!

Jordan is beautiful but can't act to save her life. She is the worst actor I've seen on this show next to Oscar Nero (who's still rotting in hell as we type). Jordan as a character has never actually been a character, merely functional - even when Vinessa Antoine played her. I'd rather see someone like Keesha Ward added back with some kids or relations, and see Jordan and T.J. both sent to the cornfield (along with Molly, Sidwell, Chase and at least a dozen other people). I'd put Isaiah with Lucas or another woman - or both! That is actually a great idea, though I wouldn't quite go for it as I prefer to keep Cody (for Tracy, I'll never give up). I would save Willow's fake cancer for another go-round, when she has to find a way to wriggle out of various misdeeds lol.

Appreciated!

I thought the flood has been up for many years. I just never got around to watching it.

Who was writing in the '79 episode posted a bit earlier? I can never keep track of the Corringtons and the BTS twists and turns on this show. Didn't they come and go a few times?

I knew she was gone but I didn't know why. So strange.

Why they kept Audrey and Steve apart so long is beyond me. By the time you get to Jim Hobart (or Tom Baldwin's return) it just seems like burnt embers.

I may be wrong and I certainly don't know enough Ryan's Hope history or backstory to be certain, but IIRC Carlivati did actually make sure to slot in Ava's conception to a time prior to RH itself. Delia had a rather detailed explanation onscreen which involved her coming back to New York after having Ava, then either getting involved with Pat, marrying Frank, etc. Whether that timetable contradicted the show's backstory I can't say. At least it wasn't as tossed off as Sasha and Cody's lineage.

I was just rewatching Patricia Breslin (Meg #1) in the Twilight Zone classic episode "Nick of Time" with William Shatner. These eps are all a blessing - I'm just now getting to them.

At least on OLTL she had the whole angle of Ben being her ex to come in on, and she didn't pretend she was a Buchanan with longtime deep relationships with all these people. She had her own all-new (and annoying) relationships and stories with people she met. But I agree she was very tiresome at my main show too.

She wouldn't. I don't mind her coming in from time to time for short stints to stir up trouble, I think that role has worked for the character in the past. But Skye has never had a sensible long-term place on the show and the more RC sneered and vamped her way through scenes acting as though she knew these people for decades, the worse it got. It drove me insane when a year or two in she would ramble on about "good old Grandfather/Tracy/whoever..." Bitch, you don't know them! I would probably bring on Lila Rae at some point though.

The latest blooper reel is a hoot. The Robin/Roscoe Born clip at the beginning is particularly interesting as Robin has been very candid that they did not get along though she appreciated his talent.

JFP did many terrible things enumerated above when she had actual power, but I don't think she had much of it again at GH after 2001. I think she facilitated for Frons and Guza most of the time from then on. I blame the bulk of personnel decisions, etc. on those two in those years (2002-2011), particularly Frons. And yes, caroline about summed it up re: Vanessa and FV.

IIRC it was about Bo and Alex Masters meeting up re: either the Men of 21 or that other terrorist after Patrick Thornhart. I may be wrong. Was it really after The City was off??

I think I saw the Princi/Canary scenes not long ago. Can't recall where.

@EricMontreal22 was kind enough to share some material in the Loving thread re: ABC crossovers - I had no idea Antonio/KDLR was floated to potentially move to Port Charles after his first OLTL exit, or that Joe Lando campaigned for Jake Harrison and his buddy Lucky to move to GH.

These are wild. I had no idea about Antonio or Jake.
