Thanks for this.

I do like Caroline and think they should add people for her. But I've been saying that about Mona re: family since Day 1. Jen Jacob is very lucky they hired Jordi. They work.

I don't think they're gaslighting us about Vanessa. I think Vanessa has always been that delusional. It's baked in to the character.

I don't care about Isaiah. He's just not interesting. None of them are interesting except Portia when they're not grinding her into the ground. I'd cut them all and fix her character. Exactly. Who is this for? No one. It's the old FV stand-by: A baby story to fill time.

I root for neither. Curtis is a test pattern and Isaiah is a bland simp. His whole personality a year and a half ago turned out to be a) Lucky and b) his beard. Then homie shaved.

I do not get people dragging Nicole for living her life as a newly single woman. I'm not seeing some OTT promiscuousness. The only thing I thought was a bit goofy was the extended public makeout session with Kial in the middle of Orphey Gene's. It should've been at home if they were going to have it go on that long. I don't see anything unusual for soap storytelling re: the Impaler storyline. We do not know or care about the random flunkies getting roughed up so we don't need lots of scenes with them; Smitty's scared informant was enough for me. The only thing I would've added is seeing the guy dumped at the ER a couple weeks ago for Shanice and Ashley to handle. And let's face it - soap cops with very public profiles, far moreso than Jacob Hawthorne, go 'undercover' all the time. Within the context of daytime there is nothing unusual or silly about him doing so too. He's not exactly as locally/worldwide famous as a John Black, let alone Robert Scorpio, Roman Brady, etc. I have no issue with his hood wardrobe lol.

Sam is not coming back from the dead. Folks (not you) need to stop dredging up every bad rumor they find on the fringe and breathlessly reposting it to various sites.

We all know the extent of GH's research is Frank cherry-picking on senior citizen FB. He and the writing team have admitted as such in interviews. DAYS can't know anything valid 10 years out.

Thanks!

Again, I have my doubts FV has any devotion to Britt at this point given KT's many BTS antics. I think his only real interest there is in her extended family - Ryan Paevey's chest, Kathleen Gati, etc. Britt was a means to a strategic end, namely finding a reasonably popular love option for Jason. Unfortunately they cocked it up, and I don't see FV going hard in the paint for her for years as he has Eden McCoy.

It's not like less Jason is going to make Britt soar with the rest of the canvas!

A legend. He's known best for the wonderful Harold and Maude, but Brewster McCloud, one of Robert Altman's strangest and angriest films, really haunts me. The scenes with him and the late Sally Kellerman are spellbinding. He also took a real risk doing Roger Avary's adaptation of the Bret Easton Ellis book The Rules of Attraction. The film is an oddball, both ill-considered on many levels and still daring and mesmerizing in places, but he is great as the younger brother of American Psycho's Patrick Bateman.

Very sad but not surprising given his condition. Just an awful thing.

They can't. It would remove Valentin's connection to the core canvas, which is her whole reason for existence on Frank's GH. Rebel Danny with wallflower Georgie is exactly what they should be doing. And meek Rocco with a wild new girl. Mix and match then they end up with those endgame pairings. Simple as.

I dunno, Frank's OLTL and earlier GH with Ron both got pretty hot and heavy at times. Including when he first took over at OLTL and Troy and Lindsay got down and dirty from behind on Malone II's first week. A sequence that will live in infamy! OLTL did not lack for sex and illicit behavior in his era. He even encouraged Thom Christopher and David Fumero to improv their highly homoerotic prison scenes. I think FV is a chameleon who responds to the times, but whose own personal tastes have ossified in some ways. I think he takes a lot of himself out of the equation on certain elements (and not others, ergo his playing favorites) and he is determined to make the show survive above all. And I think he has decided that the GH that has survived into the Trump, etc. era is now an often chaste, heterocentric and 'safe' one catering to his perception of senior Facebook viewers. (That's how you get the EP who once championed a frontburner interracial love triangle with Renee Elise Goldsberry running and hiding from Spencer and Trina 20 years later.) Hence the years we've spent with these WASP couples pumping out babies ever since roughly 2016, the year before which he avoided the axe by letting Carlivati walk the plank. For better or worse, GH's libido went with RC. But that was also when the country began to really change (or show its old/new face).

So long as the party hats are involved.

He is very handsome and has a wonderful voice, I will give him that.

You are so hard on ol' Cameron lol. I think he has sold the hell out of this role for almost two years. He's clearly loving playing the heel.

Whose wouldn't? And yes, Drew should def fake it for awhile.

I was very happy for Ricky on Sunday. What a nice showcase.

If there's any justice in this life Willow will fúck Chase before Drew's eyes, as the Captain Pike from Star Trek respiratory machines beep helplessly. Literally any other regime would do this.

I actually don't have a problem with an occasional 'forbidden' quasi-incestuous romance on a soap, when it's the right people. But this is just poor Danny and this test tube mutant horror. Pass!

Nathan at least comes off like a grown man. Unfortunately he has even less personality than Chase. I will take Dante all day.

Chase has always been an idiot with no personality. I shed no tears for his future comeuppance and I hope it is sleazy.

I see we're all revisiting our forum-wide lust for Buck from the Loving Murders in 2020. I can't complain.
