B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles
Love Sheia, but she quickly became a cartoon after 1998. Her 2002 story was OK, so was her 2005 run on Y&R. Everything after that has been pretty stupid/meh. Again, I think Sheila's best plots were on Y&R(minus Phyliss look alike) but she had character development on B&B. It would be nice if they could send Sheila over to Y&R for a few months to mix things up, but I doubt the writing team is capable of making that interesting. Who knows, the Cameron Kirsten return was lightly riveting, so they might do Sheila some justice.

GH: Actor Taking Leave Of Absence
Jason and Britt stalls again. GH has a habit of slow burning relationships until one of the actors has to leave the show either temporarily or a long-term. Similar thing happened with Spencer and Trina.

GH: January 2026 Discussion Thread
I don't know exactly when the friendzoning happened. I think Jason catching Carly in bed with Sonny in 1999 solidified Jason's resistance to dating Carly. If I recall correctly, Carly was always upfront with Jason that AJ was Michael's dad. She sought Jason's help to claim he was the father to keep AJ, and the previous suspected baby daddy Tony Jones, from getting custody of Michael.

Jason: "why is it so hard for you to believe that I could love you and have room for somebody else". That was a telling statement in their relationship. As bad as the writing for Britt has been, she was correct in that Jason and Carly have an unhealthy codependent relationship. It would be one thing if Carly just kept Jason as a best friend, but she actively disrespects all of the women he is with (Sam, Britt, Elizabeth, Robin, not sure about Courtney). She didn't like his friend Brenda either. Jason needs to be better at setting boundaries with Carly. As for why they aren't together I suspect the character of Jason sees Carly as too much drama to date but enough to handle as a friend (despite the confusion of their recent marriage).

Agreed. Victor should be alone or be with Ashley or something. 90s Jack treated Nikki really good, too bad she just couldn't get it together with the addiction and pinning after Victor. "The mustache" helped ruin her relationship with Jack, Brad, and Joshua, then later Paul in 2009. Loved the flashback to 1995.

I actually don't mind that GH isn't saturated with corny love scenes. I know this is a soap so they need the show's designated cops investigate everything. But in what world would a detective be tasked with investigating his own brother? Dante and especially Chase should have been recused from all of this a long time ago. How can Diane defend michael when she works at the same firm as Alexis? Chase is SIMPing hard over Willow.

I don't understand fan backlash against Drew, Willow and Michael. As I've said before, what else is the show really have going for it in their absence? This is what characters are supposed to do, drive conflict. Furthermore, characters who have done far or worse such as Sonny Carly and Jason were allowed to free room this year for decades so this is mild in comparison. But the show does need to invest in making other strong plots before their lead story becomes played out.
