I’m happy for Karla to get a chance to act again and get a little paycheck, but I do wish it was a regular role. She deserves to be hired by a soap. She did such a good job on B&B and proved herself a fan fave. 

I wouldn't mind her as a recast for Maya Ward on GH or YR as a new character. But you know the latter would waste her.

I wonder what her and Matt Crane do now.  

Skye was always a weird fit for GH.  I actually thought she was pretty good with Jax, but they broke up and went nowhere.  I didn't mind her as a Q, but I was annoyed they retconned it just so she could hook up with Ned.    Also, Rae running around 3 soaps looking for her baby daddy/child, regardless of age was stupid.

I wouldn't hate her coming back with Lila Rae or anything.. Although her and Nina seem like very similar characters to me and I am not sure why.

I believe She and Matt live somewhere in PA. I also believe that Matt is into pottery and art like his on-screen mother Victoria Wyndham as well. 

I wouldn't mind if Lila Rae comes to PC to mix it up with Cameron, Joss, Trina, and hopefully Spencer. Maybe RC can do stints here and there if she doesn't want to commit bi-coastal.

I don’t know if a lot of people caught it, but Victor referred to Moses as Neil’s “Grandson” during his scene with Sharon. 

Please join Ellen Dolan (Maureen Reardon Bauer), Harley Jane Kozak (Annabelle Sims Reardon) and Michael Woods (Jim Reardon) live in The Locher Room on Wednesday, April 21 at 3 p.m. EST / 12 p.m. PST.

DH's current wardrobe is atrocious with the plaid and ugly jackets, but SSH looks she's late for a canasta game at the community center.  I honestly had no idea DH and SSH were near the same age.  It makes it more clear they aged Julie way too early.   They always were two different generations to me.

 

It's weird because I know Don did stuff after he divorced Marlena, but I can't remember any of it.  Besides his romance with Maggie.  It's weird he was onscreen for a decade and all I can remember about him is that he was married to Marlena and his son died. 

C.C. Capwell was certainly the best thing that happened to him.

Not canasta at the Community Center.

Lawd this season and series is almost over... What a relief!

They finally brought Carly Schroeder as Serena back for the Peter Hansen tribute episode a few years ago, and she was excellent and still beautiful. And right after that she promptly enlisted in the military IRL, so that's that lol.

 

I have no idea why Ron broke up Kevin and Lucy seeing as reuniting them and restoring as part of the firmament would seem to have been one of his typical soap classicist goals, and that's what he accomplished in 2013. I assume that the affair with Scott, outing at the Nurse's Ball, etc. is just another example of his subplot shenanigans getting away from him and never being properly resolved by the time he left. That happened a lot with Ron.

In SOD Carly wanted to come back more on a permanent basis before she joined the military too.

Kevin and Lucy were together for awhile onscreen (with both on recurring, but featured fairly steadily) after the initial McBain story. It was the following summer, I think, maybe 2014, maybe 2015 where Ron unwisely broke them up when Lindstrom's appearances were sparse. (I know there was talk of Serena and Christina allegedly being cast at this time, but it never happened.) He even pushed a boring subplot where Lucy got briefly involved with Duke(!!). We saw them in Duke's hotel room after sleeping together but I'm not sure we ever saw them kiss and we definitely never saw them have sex.

 

Breaking up Kevin and Lucy was a massive mistake and while I love Laura and I know Genie loves being paired with Jon Lindstrom, the pairing of Kevin/Laura is boring as sin for both of them. I'd break them up yesterday.

I remember the rumor that Carly Schroeder was supposed to reprise Serena back in 2013 and they had cast someone to play Christina. I also recall when Lucy was thinking that the vampires were coming back to Port Charles. Mac mentioned he was about to call Lucy's girls. And wasn't there a rumor that Kevin kept going off to treat some patient back in Seattle was going to turn out to be Christina too?

Ugh what I hate about Frank's one-off episodes is that he has a tendency to retcon a whole bunch of things that goes completely against things that were previously addressed on-screen (I'm still not over the Carly's journey to Port Charles re-write leading to Nelle meeting her from a few months ago). In this case Mikkos being abusive to Kristin is news to me considering how Alexis described the dynamic to Helena in 2004.

 

 

I'm with you on Carly's retcon backstory. First of all she grew up in a trailer park in Florida. Not in a nice condo with a bank manager mother like we saw in those terrible flashbacks. 

I still remember when ATWT was heading for a Luke/Maddie/Noah triangle. I thought Jake Silbermann and Alexandra Chando had chemistry as Noah and Maddie. But we all know what eventually happened there.

Of course it was Vinny that Liam ran over...

 

I wish it was Liam or Flo instead...

One thing I’ll give Mal is that I do think had he remained that he was going to use Ana more than what we got. The only regret I have about his exit is that it was before he could develop her character and Fen. 
 

I also agree with y’all in terms of Asian characters. I thought Ravi and Juliet both had long term potential and fit in well. Juliet have Cane his best story and he was morphing into the new Brad Carlton. Considering how much screentime he got and how juicy that material was, I still find it insane Daniel Goddard complained so much. I wanna say that story doubled his yearly episode appearances. Just crazy!

 

One thing that has bothered me recently is that CBS Daytime has posted these things about “Stop Asian Hate” but their soaps don’t have one Asian character. In fact, I don’t think any soap does except Terry on GH who is also Trans which means she won’t get a story. Ditto for Brad who is gay. It’ll be interesting to see if in the coming months we start to see any Asian characters pop up as a result of this. 

I wish they would've avoided "The Raj from Big Bang Theory treatment" with him. I felt he didn't need to fit in a stereotype as a characterization. Plus I wish they would've had him with his age group more i.e. Noah, Mariah Devon, Abby, etc., He spent most of his time with Phyllis and Ashley. I would've liked them to bring on his parents and his genius big sister played by Shenaz Treasury. 

Juliet had the making of a good vixen i.e. Jill, Mari Jo Mason, etc., she just needed some red bull or the right director in scenes when she became lethargic to reign her in. I would've had her fight Cane & Lily for Sam but ultimately lose custody and only gets visitation rights. She finds herself having to scheme in order to get her child back by any means necessary.

Well, I did like Ryan at first.  Maybe he won’t be shoved down my throat again.

 

isn’t this cast kind of bloated already though, especially in his age range?

All of this!!! I'm like are we ever going to get someone in to play Tommy Hardy or Serena Baldwin before this show hits 60?

Saw this on Twitter

Remember when "Lane" fanatics practically ran a campaign to drive the character off the show?

 

There have been some characters that I never could stand, but I still can't grasp the idea of trying to force an actor out of a job unless they'd done something unconscionable.

 

 

Coming from the U.K., one would think that Mal would've seen the value of having a South Asian character, even a family on a soap, since shows like Eastenders, no doubt, benefited from having South Asian characters on that show.

Mal Young was passive aggressive AF when it came to writing non-white characters.

It seemed Angelica McDaniel foisted the Rosales clan on him...
