I had no idea she was on there too. Oy vey. The one upload of Night Shift 2 I know of is extremely poor quality. I've always wanted to revisit it properly though, I hear great things and I only got through part of it BITD.

Heads up. Only up for Jan 1, apparently.

I probably wouldn't have a lookalike pose as Tony - that's just too much, even on GH atm lol. I would have him claim to be a third brother or something, but he would turn out to be a scoundrel with a heart of gold in the end. I can even see playing a wilder Brad Maule off Tracy, lol. Idk!

That was in Night Shift 2. I still need to rewatch that. John Reilly made a very brief appearance on GH proper in 2013 while Luke, Laura and Holly were searching for the cure for Luke's polonium poisoning. Sean had been poisoned first, and only had maybe one or two lines. His daughter Annie (played by another actress, not Caitlin Reilly at that time) did most of the talking. They later said he'd been cured. I found it odd Sean barely spoke at the time, but when we later learned JR died of dementia/Alzheimer's I wondered if there was a connection. He certainly seemed to still have the same intensity and presence regardless of his few words. I've always wanted them to bring Annie Donely in on contract at the PCPD or WSB. I understand Sharon Wyatt doesn't want to appear on-camera anymore due to her illness (hence her voice cameo over the phone when Sean died) but I hope we can hear from her again someday.

Same here. But I did love them any time I saw classic eps.

ChelseaKat is apparently a real shop via F&W Style. I don't know if they're selling the Anita Baby bag. The Christmas episode definitely did give me P&G/Marland ATWT vibes. Very warm and not artificial in its sentiments. I hope @DRW50 will check it out!

Did y'all talk about the Anita Baby bag ChelseaKat made? That thing was a gorgeous beast. Ain't no Shop the Soaps.

I would definitely go there, and have Lucas challenge Carly more re: all she's let slide with Sonny vs. Lucas and his family. I think Van plays that righteous indignation well. And I would keep him with Marco, who would probably eventually flip on his father to the PCPD or something and get away relatively free but there would still be an edge. I might even have Lucas call on Delia Ryan (I know, you're thrilled) to dig deeper into the Jerome background - or Ava's adopted family who she was raised by, who I don't think we've ever seen or knew much about, unless I'm mistaken. (IIRC Delia said Ava took the name as a teenager after tracking down Delia and finding out she was born into power.)

Maule is a Texan IIRC, and has a real eccentric streak beneath the surface when Tony got going. I think he'd have a ball with it.

I just adore the Tony/Bobbie saga under Labine today, as an adult viewer. It feels very lived in and painfully true, and Brad is just amazing to watch. It hits you different when you're older, and you want more for them as a couple. It gives me pause to remember @DRW50 (I think) and their idea of a Tony doppleganger con man for BM to come on and play and have a bit of fun. And you'd get to see his ghost again too, because why not.

I always found Karla cloying and off-putting on GL, sometimes on B&B, etc. She has also really surprised me here, I think she's a tour de force. The dialogue work varies by the day, and she sells a lot that some quite awkward or stagey writing doesn't.

Alexa Havins' response is hilarious. Clearly a big fan of that story. Van Hansis either is scripted or an avid GH fan lol, more power to him.

Nancy contains multitudes. Sometimes I roll my eyes at her behavior, but her heart is in the right place.

That is insanely in-depth, @Franko . A man after my own heart. Thanks! Did Sean and Tiffany have a prior offscreen relationship? I don't know why I thought that, they seemed to go back much longer. I didn't know Sam Behrens came back to properly conclude Jake and Bobbie after Scott's machinations while Jake was offscreen. It's too bad we never saw him again. Wonderful to see the great Nita Talbot all but stealing the show as Delfina (a designer? stylist? not sure) in the NYE '81 episode. I know someone (Monty?) apparently brought her back for a guest bit during someone's wedding (Ned and Jenny, I think) in '91 or '92. I never knew she was on the show.

Yeah, same here.

Anyone know of rough dates re: Bobbie and Tony getting together? I know their wedding was in fall of '89 or something. Always wanted to see more of that courtship. I have also always hoped to watch more of the Sean/Monica story where she gets roped into his scheme. I am amazed she bounced back from that with the family. I've seen bits and pieces here and there. BTW, how long was Tiffany gone between stints and when did she first become involved with Sean?

The whole thing with there being like maybe six hardcore Dex fans on Twitter just cracks me up. I'm not sure Joss could still remember him enough to spell his name. Three letters!

SON was wild that night. Drunk Nancy in her cups, weeping and crashing out as Black Twitter came for her live!

I've said this before, but I think Andrew and Marty was in many ways a replacement for Andrew and Megan in Malone's eyes. Marty and Andrew come closer to consummating things, but neither fully goes there. They did have chemistry right to the end of the show's run though. The relatively rare Dorian/Marty scenes after this period always remind me that La Boulaie, the Cramer homestead, was Marty's family home in these years. I think Dorian bought it off her or her Aunt Kiki.

Tony, JJ and Kin on the View, discussing the '98 rape revisit and other things. Some fun old chestnuts about the L&L wedding and Scott and Luke's fistfight, etc.

I have a lot of love for Nancy but she is very lucky she survived the Viola Davis disaster.

'Here to stay' is relative for now. They need a longer pick-up for me to breathe a little easier - I'm not sure their current one runs beyond the start of 2027, though I may be wrong. I do hope the show changes some stuff up. I'll have more to say about the holiday eps when I finish getting through them. Been deep down the classic GH holiday eps hole.

Brilliant in The Wire but in so many things. I also loved him in Da 5 Bloods.

I'm not averse to that for a guest appearance, since my stance would be that Livvie/PC existed and she has a kid out there lol. I don't believe the DWTS doppleganger did. I am surprised Ron and the recent regimes never brought her back tbh. I would probably create someone else if I wanted Kelly Monaco to appear. But I don't!

To be clear I don't want Sam back at all, other than maybe a ghost on occasion. I'd even allow some kooky Eurotrash doppelgänger Kelly could play for a few months in a short arc (claim it's a distant Cassadine cousin!). But it just would not at all surprise me if Monaco realized she doesn't like not cashing the checks and is trying to curry favor again lol. And I can see FV being pressed enough to go there if 2026 doesn't go as swimmingly for Jason and Britt as they hope. Revolving Kellys! My worst nightmare tbh.
