Darn

I want a count of how many characters have ended up gay due to fan demand. I can think of Will, Lucas on GH, Luke on ATWT and Mariah on Y&R. Anyone else?

The show’s gone from Carly, Sonny and Jason winning all of the time to straight almost universal reverence. The only people allowed to dislike them are villainous like Nina and Tracy or clearly “misguided” like Joss and Michael. Carly and Joss scenes are them just parroting each other. It would be comical if you didn’t know the writers were dead serious. Carly: Nina! Joss: NINA!!!! Carly: Awful!! Joss: AWFULLLL!!!$$$(;57’

He's so self-righteous. I hate CamMat's acting when he gets to yell at someone. "But ya did Ned, YA DID!" Willow's "on the brink of death" countdown enters month 87th. No but seriously she was in desperate need of the bone marrow transplant 2 months ago when Liesl was kidnapped. Just die already. Olivia is a horrible spouse. If your husband is emphatically denying something as much as Ned and you don't believe him? Why even stay married to someone you think so little of? The way she genuflected to Carly the other day was pretty disgusting too. Carly, who will absolutely NOT apologize to Ned as much as she should when this comes out.

It bothers me that the "Our" isn't capitalized in the official logo for the show.

Jasmine Guy had other commitments.

That's what I would do. The problem is that knowing him they'll wrap the story up in 3 weeks. Look at how quickly people found out Phyllis was alive.

Her trick was getting viewers to tune in with the threat of "I'm about to ruin the thing you like! You better waaaaatch!" There are so many actors they could release that would more than afford them an overnight crew. Ridiculous.

I'm in the same boat, Billy was my AJ and I hated the hypocrisy of Sonny, Jason, Carly and their sycophants so much that I had to love him. Luckily I've grown past that and simply being in opposition to one of those three doesn't make me a fan. See: Nina. @Khan Billy's height never bothered me, though I think his stature absolutely influenced the writing (despite the fact that he and Mo see eye to eye) it always felt so...petty. But what can I expect from Elton John meets Jean Randolph.

Bring it on! Billy would have to keep the gray he currently has though because he still looks incredibly youthful, they could be mistaken for brothers. With a headwriter who didn't have some weird personal grudge against him Sean could have turned AJ into a character with prominence. Give him a real win or two against Jason and Sonny, people who had his back with no conditions, a love that didn't drop him or run to the other side as soon as he made an error in judgment. You know, all those things the two thugs get all the time. But they didn't want to put in the work because there's some bizarreness on this show about AJ.

Ah, thank you @Liberty City! This makes my AMC loving heart happy. I wish Y&R could've benefitted from the cancellation of CBS soaps the way GH did. Maybe there would be more than 5 sets. They've called her that a few times over the years but never as repeatedly as they did yesterday. Oh god are they gonna start called the Molly recast "Molls"?

Sonny's penthouse literally looks like a waiting room at a stuff therapist's office. Actually I'm pretty sure that Sonny's office set is bigger than his living room now. And her house is WILDWIND? Where? Someone tell me exactly what. This is so fascinating. There's a lot of Pine Valley on the show apparently, where is all the Llanview? I suppose that could be because shipping the One Life sets to LA wasn't cost effective.

Already jotted it down for couples counseling next Tuesday.

Oh my bad. I remember you telling me it was that one now. I think I was foisting my own feelings about it (idunlikeit) on you!

See? You wait long enough and everything's free.

If you ask ME Steve Burton and Sean Kanan were wrong for the parts (they just had the right look for the early 90s) of Jason and AJ, Billy was perfect. I'll die on this hill

Her acting and face are...let me not say anything more, I want to be kind today. And based on the lighting and direction in that scene they have zero clue what to do with him other than having everyone run around town wringing their hands whispering "Cameron Kristen is back". They're shooting their wad on yet another story that could have juiced their ratings and given fan-favorite Sharon something to do that didn't involve being a millionaire psychiatrist pouring coffee everyday.

@Khan I wish JFP had settled on whether her focus would be destroying the sets or the characters. No, she decided it would be best to destroy both simultaneously across all the shows she managed. I'm serious, I'd really to know what her fetish was for hacking at sets. WHY do you want to blow up GH? WHY is getting Victor into a penthouse a priority for you? Her whole MO across all of the shows she produced was to demolish some place or some one or some couple long established. And I think that's because she had a hard time building anything of her own that wasn't standing on the necks of what had already been proven successful.

Anna also has the re-re-remodeled Chandler mansion. It works much better for than it did Adam. And I think he's referring to this house which somehow doesn't have a page on GH's wiki but is listed here: Jacks House (607 Braidwood Terrace) - Former residence of Morgan Corinthos, Carly Spencer, Jasper Jacks, and Michael Corinthos No mangling will ever beat what Y&R did to the Chancellor estate. Completely rearranged the layout, repainted the walls, the camera angle was different. It was hardly the same location. And they did it for no good reason, simple because they could.

They're going to botch this so bad. So so SO bad. And there's so much potential. He's been off the canvas for 20 years. They can do quite literally anything with him, this evil character with a dark past and psychotic obsession with a long-standing heroine. But I bet you anything he'll be dead in some "oops we murdered someone else!" plot within 6 months.

But so much of daytime is about familiarity. Changing a set that drastically should happen gradually, it could have even been a story point. There has to be a balance between the Abbott living room on Y&R remaining virtual unchanged in 40 years (you can breathe in the dust mites through the TV screen) and the Quartermaines suddenly living in an Ashley Furniture showroom. They've also, similar to what @Vee said, stripped these residences of their ability to tell us more about these characters beyond "they live here". Just so this isn't totally negative I think my favorite current home set is Portia and Curtis', I know it was previous Jax's and someone else's idk but I like it a lot. It's got a good use of space and the entryways to the back area/kitchen are different than typical soap sets. I also like the African prints they have draped over some of the furniture because I gotta be honest, affluent black people do love their African prints.

In 30 years: Traccee Ellis Ross IN as Abe's 17th unknown child. Based on that picture I thought she was going to be someone pretending to be Paulina.

Fücking Spinelli.

Shocked the lack of comments regarding the return of the Quartermaine mansion! It's not exactly as it was but WOOD PANELING, no more of that blue/gray NONSENSE. I literally have no else to say about this episode, it was dullsville. Jane did what she could to save her portions but the woman can only carry a show on her back so far.

I hope that's what this is all about, would make it more interesting than what they're dishing out.

You would never guess that Billy, with the sliding scale of soap opera time, is 30 years younger than Jack and Ashley. Peter Bergman looks more fresh faced than JT!
