Liberty City

I've always liked Ric. The superior Adela child. And this return is the best. He really is since his original stint.

I wish the Wards had been more prominent on the GH canvas. The Ashfords are a piss-poor stand-in family.

Sarah Joy Brown (as Claudia). Hell, I'd even wager Kelly Sullivan (ex-Kate) had some chemistry despite such a piss-poor D.I.D. storyline. Plus, I can't even deny it. Maura West (Ava) had chemistry, but she's a chemistry magnet to herself! They could have on Guiding Light but it doesn't recollect to me. And no, Hearst is poised for West for some #RAVA. And I won't allow it to be stopped.

Oh, it would have bombed. Stafford, to me, doesn't have the chemistry needed to work with Benard. For a moment, I thought you were referring to Roger Howarth. Too much "RH" initialled people on this soap. 🤣 As far as I am aware, Hearst & Watros did not work together during their time on Guiding Light. Watros' Annie's pairing with Ron Raines' Alan didn't come in 1997 when Hearst had left already. And it's never going to happen.

No, I do think Stafford matched that one more than Cynthia Watros did. And the same goes with James Patrick Stuart (Valentin). Watros, for me, worked better with Maurice Benard (Sonny). I sense that Watros would have done well with Rick Hearst (Ric) where I think he and Stafford lacked. The only non-pairing I think both women did well with was with Donnell Turner (Curtis).

Oh yes, uh-oh. 🤣 That was the Michelle Stafford era, and I block that out as much as humanly possible. I mean, can you blame me? 👼🏻

He was just throwing out references to tie-in his own character creations, likely in the hopes they'd continue on well beyond his exit. Boy, oh boy, was he wrong. Little to none of his created characters still exist outside of Ava and... who else? 🤣

Exactly! It's not overrun by contract nor recurring; it's an even split, which is exciting.

I think it was a claim he was related to Lily? I don't know. I tried to block that whole period out of my mind... it's the end of his tenure, and everything was so bad. So, so bad.

That's the "writer" for you. 🤣🙄 It's what he did, continuously and endlessly. I don't believe Carlos and his brother Joe Rivera are related to Lily in any kind of way. It is Sabrina (and her child/children) that would be related. But Carlos and Joe are not.

Amazing; thanks so much for sharing!! So excited to see Karla Mosley really rock it as Dani.

According to Sabrina, Marcos Santos is the son of her aunt Inocencia Santiago and was friends with Carlos Rivera. And Armando Santiago is her uncle, so that would make Juan Santiago her adoptive cousin. What they [should] have done was make her related to Dolores Santiago (removing the mention of Inocencia).

Same; the excitement Sheila Ducksworth has for not only the soap genre but for Beyond the Gates has always been encouraging, especially now. And knowing 20 of those 40 total are series regular is exciting, too. I know Michele Val Jean and company are working things properly. I just know it.

She's a "special guest star" on Dexter: Original Sin.

🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Oh well.

Well, considering Jason is in Germany and I don't think even he knows, Alexis/Kristina/Molly are the most logical to tell Danny as Sam's next of kin.

He's one year older than William R. Moses. 🤣

ROBERT NEWMAN?! YOU'RE SPEAKING MY LANGUAGE! What about Kim Zimmer or Colleen Zenk as nüCarolyn?

Not to mention, the TV Insider video falsely credits Jen Jacob (Ashley) as Jen Jacobson. Whoever is overlooking these things should be more careful.
