Yes, I remember LB. Sweet guy.

No, totally him. They're always the type.

I think Errol just said over in the ratings thread BTG recently had a much better week. I may be wrong. As I said in the crossover thread, it's a smart move. EB/Victor still has a lot of pull with the casual audience, no matter the sorry state of Y&R.

It's a smart move. Victor still has enormous cachet with the general and casual audience, like it or not. Martin and Kyle totally did oral in college. Minimum.

They're delusional. He's doomed. Brennan was always little more than a stopgap elevated dayplayer who was never going to last no matter who the actor, and FV is clearly all in on the latest Save Valentin project: Pairing him with Carly.

IIRC they were split up officially by Brennan but I thought he was still hanging around town. I assume he'll pop up soon like he hasn't been gone for weeks/months lol. But I wouldn't hate if he just vanished. He's made zero impression and the whole story has been another flop for Joss, she's been barely on for awhile now til quite recently.

I suspect Demi Moore was a case of wrong place, wrong time and wrong condition. Gloria Monty always had an eye for emerging raw talent, and Demi was definitely that. But she was coming on the heels of LNL with Tony, and she was also nowhere near ready to play opposite Tristan Rogers. She also already had major issues with alcohol, etc. from a young age by her own admission in recent years via her memoir (and of course the BTS video that now lives in infamy). That could not have helped with her scene partners. IIRC she still allegedly had major issues a few years later when she broke out on St. Elmo's Fire.

I had some classic GL thread pages bookmarked to read maybe 3 weeks ago and man that thing moves like wildfire. I wouldn't know where to begin. I think it's hilarious that the GL thread is outrunning this one. I don't think Jason Thompson really wants to leave per se, but his comments recently re: wanting to play opposite Braedyn Bruner on GH (who plays his former character's daughter) does make me wonder if he's a bit wistful. I wouldn't hate JT's Patrick appearing for a short stint as a Steve Hardy-esque figure to mentor some new doctors. He's still a very handsome man but he's aged quickly in the last decade and he was always an odd fit for Billy at best. I think JFP (and subsequent producers) were much more enamored of him and his talent vs. his ever being right for the role. No one will ever be Billy Miller (even poor David Tom who got a raw deal a little over a decade ago), so if this show ever gets its shít together again they might as well recast yet again. Fans won't blink at this point.

I got you. (Not sure why they won't embed) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h3MnzLAm4s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5bUnj6csnQ

Chris Marcantel's Loving reunions are still on YT, FWIW. Unless you're talking about something else.

I thought Vaughn sucked tbh. I had zero interest in him or that couple, just as with Dex.

Yes, they need to not waffle on ICE or DHS. You can't fund them anymore under this government, and ICE will have to finally go come the next administration if indeed we have one.

And as I've said before, you could tell onscreen in that period. Jason's rage at Carly over Alcazar was intense, misogynistic and did not feel like acting.

The ongoing collapse at CBS continues. Everyone is leaking against Weiss. Meanwhile, Bezos is trying to slash WP's foreign and sports desks. They briefly said they would not send anyone to the Olympics and now have reversed it.

Too little too late from Suozzi: As awful as this all is, the people of MN have been inspiring. ICE should never have existed, and now it should be erased.

Never gonna happen.

Always lovely to see Cassandra Creech.

I'm way behind on all this because I've been preoccupied by IRL and the current soaps (as well as some classic GH). But if anyone is dying for yet another take on late 1991 I'm sure mine will come sometime soon.

That was great lol. I'm surprised someone BTS jumped on that so quick.

I think if it was up to FV he'd run Valentin and Carly for another 3-5 years to keep JPS around tbh. I think that's his priority. I hope it doesn't come to that. But I'd also rather gnaw my arm off than watch more of her and Maurice together. Both options suck and I will not choose one. Kevin and Laura has got to end and I say that as someone who yes, wants Kevin and Lucy back together but mostly wants Laura free for something new. The relationship has never made much sense to me and now it's nonexistent. Not that Frank cares. JL's role on BTG will end eventually IMO (he plays a crime kingpin with his hand in several murders) but in the meantime, move on.

It was not that serious. The scenes had some friction but he was chill. It was nowhere near some of the kind of venom they have reserved for each other 20+ years ago. Sonny frankly can't work up much rage for almost anyone anymore. They won't be pairing Nina with anyone but dayplayers at this rate. The Drew door PM opened is long since closed, unless they do some sort of Herculean redemption job on his character which I don't really want or need. I don't need her with anyone (and would write her out within a year or two and give her a happy ending at this point), but I would guffaw and cheer if she and Michael had a ONS. Sean Kanan's A.J. wouldn't be a terrible idea as a pipe dream but I'd sooner see him with Carly.

I agree. Just let them have that later in life secret/chill romp we've talked about before for a while. Gives them something to do before you regroup with both. It can be played light and ease Sonny into accepting his life/age has changed. They clearly are struggling re: Sonny. Someone doesn't want him and Carly back together which has always been their safe lever (probably both actors at this point, thank God), someone else obviously doesn't want Nina (probably Korte!) and Frank doesn't want to do the obvious fix (Brenda).

Not a soul! I do in fact have another bad idea for Sonny though, while we all wait on Brenda. But I'll keep it off the thread for now unless people want to ask me one to one.
