General Hospital: January 2023 Discussion Thread
I figured those rumors were made up, especially the one about Christina coming to town and accusing Scotty of abusing her. That was some Lucy and Kevin Stan, for sure, who came up with that one. Sarah having a ready-made family is a good idea. Especially if she relocates from California to Port Charles to become the hospital's new chief of staff, which would have been great to have Hardy back in charge after all these years. And the thing was that when she came back, I think she said either in SOD or SID that she wanted to come back for a longer stint. But FV wasted that goodwill and Carly is serving in the armed forces which good for her.

Yeah, to be dispensing advice at her empty coffeehouse and start a bland romance with her third cop. But each to their own.

I hope so! I know Serena is definitely still in play although I don't get why they don't recast. I always wanted Christina to come to town as a doctor following the footsteps of her stepfather Kevin and bio mother Julie. I remember the rumor going around years ago when Ron was there when Kevin was keeping going off to Seattle that he was visiting Christina who was dealing with mental issues. Don't know if that was true or not. Not to mention around that time they were talks to bring back Carly Schroeder as Serena. But we all know how that turned out.

In a way, they're still like that to me. I remember before one of them got highlights, I used to get them mixed up. I will forever say this, but I feel like I should be seeing Serena and Christina Baldwin on my screen. Yeah, I know Christina doesn't exist anymore due to "Port Charles" being a figment of imagination, but they did mention Christina when Ron was there twice. And Kristina and Molly don't have any story whatsoever. I see more of Lexi Ainsworth on Instagram than I do on my screen. Since Krissy is involved with LGBTQ causes, Stella appears on an episode to advise her that she should consider becoming a social worker at GH. Or perhaps we finally get to see Molly argue a case as a lawyer, or perhaps TJ is tempted by a new nurse or doctor. But instead, we get Sasha and Willow. Sasha could've left with Gladys and Brando to Corinth, and Willow can die.

Someone would have to sit Joshua Morrow down for that to happen, but would he accept it? Nick Newman does not need any more children on this show. He and Sharon need to work their way back together, and perhaps they will tie the knot officially for next year's anniversary week. Nick and Sharon are 50 years old and need to be involved in the lives of their children, who should be having the stories Nick is in. No one is saying they won't have a story; of course, they will. But the days of him possibly impregnating his daughter's rival and being in love triangle after love triangle need to end. And when Sally and Summer were feuding too. Sally could've said this to her. "You might have gotten to run Marchetti, but I'm f*cking your daddy,"

Remember when they had Michael said to Carly that he always wanted her and Jason to be together since I was a little boy. And I was like, "So those clips and episodes I've seen of your red-haired version were just lies about wanting your parents together for about four years straight?" Jason's stories in his last year or so definitely changed on a dime, likely due to BTS.

B&B January 2023 Discussion Thread
That would've been the better story. I was hoping Brad was going to start a relationship with Li and Bill since they had befriended each other after helping her recover from Sheila's attempt at killing her. But of course, Brad zags when he should've zigged. I wish Brad would bring back Mary or Diana; it's insane that Sheila's other children aren't on canvas except for Finn, who has the least in terms of knowing this woman. Imagine Mary as a forensic psychologist hired by the LAPD to help track down her mother, or Diana coming to town when Massimo dies, leaving her wealthy. Sheila could have used her desire to reunite her family to try to force a relationship. Well, according to Brad, we're getting new characters, but knowing him, his attention span won't make them compelling for long. I was hoping Sheila would've found out about Steffy's pill addiction and used that against her to paint her as a "bad mother" so Finn would be forced to raise both children, meaning he would need help, causing Sheila to have to be there while Steffy is away in rehab, though she suspects Sheila contributed to her relapse.

Not to mention casting for white male himbo characters and not learning their lesson when it comes to ill-fated plots of the past.

When it comes to this opening, it felt like JFP thought Bay City was really a borough in NYC instead of a Chicago suburb. Poor Stephen Schnetzer, Alice Barrett and Matt Crane were only in that opening once, but how many times did Grayson McCouch pop up in that opening? Smh!

Trademarks of Different Creators/EPs/Writers
Wendy Riche brought on Ricky Martin and Joseph C. Phillips back when Mark Teschner's casting was taken more serious by the EP's. JFP also had a pattern, at least on Guiding Light and Another World, of pairing up young, spunky rookie cop blondes with the roguish older cops, i.e., Mallet and Harley and Josie and Gary.

It's as if TPTB decided that now the Glam Club is the new restaurant set because they don't want to pull out the Society set or can't have too many people in there. This show must be in the bathroom if every other soap looks better in terms of exterior, but the number one daytime show looks terrible. I've seen better sets during my middle and high school performing arts days. I don't mind Adam and Sally, but Nick didn't have to be involved in this storyline AT ALL! Or at least acknowledge that Nick is old enough to be Sally's father. I'm hoping this is another stopgap before they put Nick and Sharon back together. And don't get me started on Sharon potentially being paired with her third cop. Where's the story in that? It became quite noticeable in 2020 when they returned during the height of the pandemic and those sets became few and number of characters in them became sparse.

And I hoped Cody was Katherine Bell's con artist son, whom she had abandoned years before moving to Port Charles. But nope, he has to be Dominique's long-lost child with Mac. This would have also been an excellent time to introduce Serena back to the canvas with this long-lost half-brother and her mother (Lucy) being MIA or presumed dead.

I think one of the reasons why we don't get Cam's POV as much is because William Lipton is on recurring as he goes to college, though they always make it sound like Cameron is taking care of his four and eight-year-old brothers as a reason why he and Joss were growing apart, even though they're more like 16 and 10 by now. Then again, this is the same character who didn't get to meet either one of his grandparents on screen. Dex is in a long line of Frank's specific young white male casting, i.e., Brando and the Ford Brothers. He's attractive, as is Montone, who gets our young heroine to do something unusual and then makes them realize they're not right for each other, i.e., Langston and Ford and Starr and James. I do hope, however, that they will eventually bring on a young adult Emma or Lila Rae for a future romance with Cameron.

On DAYS, John is not Forest Alamain. The show should've left it alone instead of creating such a convoluted backstory for him with Tobin Bell as his Japanese father?
