I have a lot more appreciation for the chemistry between Mattson and Kiberd now than I did back then as a kid. I loved Trevor, and I always enjoyed watching Crazy Janet, but she always scared the hell out of me back then. I thought it was unfair how they treated their fans when Janet was brought back with Kate Collins (per Frons edict) and Trevor was unceremoniously murdered. But I was never a fan of Trevor and Janet. Like Jonathan, I could never buy that he would be with her after the Jane Cox years. Yet you look back at a lot of the writing and work done back then today, and a lot of it was very good, so I get it more. Maybe looking at all of it today I'd feel differently. I do think it was unnecessary how they ended, and it was clear Agnes, Broderick, etc. agreed because they worked very hard to try to quasi-redeem Janet near the end of the show's ABC run. (Collins did an excellent job with a very broad version of the character, BTW.)

And now, a refreshing change of pace:

This is the most batshit thing I've seen in... several days. Bay of Pigs Award??!!!

LMAO:

She speaks highly of AMC 2.0 on there too, which makes me happy.

They will never recast Brenda. Ever. She's most likely just the stupid Easton-related character. Waste of time.

Write it into the show and let them knock boots or I'm not impressed.

She had a starring role on the much-hailed NYPD Blue revival pilot ABC failed to pick up to series. A lot of names have popped up on GH in the last few years to do stints for a little dough. I think it's beneath them given the quality of the specific writing and roles, but she's neither the biggest nor the last. I believe someone said Sherry Stringfield got turned down in favor of Gina Tognoni for NuPhyllis on Y&R, or maybe some role on B&B (or both).

So many people too good for modern GH have done it in the last decade that I'm numb to it - Veronica Cartwright, Dee Wallace, Richard Burgi, Jeff Kober. All wasted in pointless or ruined roles poorly written. So Kim showing up means nothing to me. The only role worthy of her stature would be Liz's mother and that's not happening. Miss me with something about Michael Easton's family or some [!@#$%^&*], who gives a fùck?

FL aside, the overall polling still is not terribly close. Do I think it will be a walk for Biden, no, and I remain very vigilant, but I am not seeing 'very close' in the general overalll numbers anywhere yet.

Jessie Wallace has been such a mess for so many years, it's easy to forget how sharp her instincts could be. The fact that she screamed that line (her own choice, not the writers) has stayed with me for years. Sometimes you have to punch it.

Fair enough. There was also a "Robbie Berridge" but who knows.
