Liberty City

From Katie to Lily. They tried to make it work but it's clear: there was no viable plan in-place for Mike. YUP! That blink-and-miss reprisal.

Collier [briefly] reprised the role 2009, as well. Honestly, Jon Prescott was wasted in the role.. so much potential not even tapped into.

I'm not shipping; merely excited about a chem-test that feels like it happening for the second time.

I'm going to drown-out the haters on this one; it's a potential pairing that I'm excited to see potentially play out.

RIP to him! Dang!

Character-wise, no it does not. But actor-wise? I love it!

It's very disappointing the lobotomy that the "writer" has given to Ava; Tamara Braun is a powerful actress, but it often feels like daytime doesn't realize it. From her all-too-short time as Reese on All My Children (so much untapped potential), to the ridiculous time as Taylor (should have never happened), and then the insult that was the Kim Nero saga on General Hospital. Even her brief 2015–2016 return as Ava was better-off than the past four-years. I'm honestly surprised they have not cut her, yet. This is, by-and-large, her longest stint on a soap since her time as Carly on General Hospital.

I completely agree; Rae was a breath of fresh air in terms of the original characters. But I also feel like they softened her too soon, and that they hadn't any clue what to do with her. Could the revamp have been why Robert Guza Jnr was out and Meg Bennett came in as head writer? I've always wondered what could have been had H. Wesley Kenney not left the show, due to creative differences, and been replaced with Gary Tomlin?

Who said it was an act? You're giving him too much credit.

It's exciting. The second time I've sensed a chem-test between the two of them.

bedtime. yay.

You will be heated... so brace yourself.

It's what she friggin' deserves.

YES! My thoughts exactly: Cibrian & Dorman > Hamilton & Haskin

I would wager two-or-three months ahead. Since less than one-month passed from episodic debut (January 21) to announcement of his exit (February 11). I would assume once he began filming, they made the ultimate choice to recast, a-la what happened at Days of Our Lives with Natalia Livingston/Tamara Braun in the role of Taylor Walker.

From what I gather: Simone left Port Charles with Tommy Jnr, after she ended her relationship with Justus. And after ending things with Felicia, Tom just returned to Africa. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lisa Niles was a bit too much for me but, damn... Robert Guza Jnr knew how to write the dramatics. And, to think, this was at the end of his tenure. She did well in the role of Claudia; but it was much less expansive as Pamela Bellwood's Claudia in the original series. And the remake was fairly enjoyable, too.

I keep thinking about the "new" Capwell set, and how destroyed it would have been. No grand staircase and we'd likely be stuck with the smaller parlor room (a-la DAYS) from the original set. So sad. And I have a feeling the set where Elaine worked would've been one small table, and no outdoor eating area. Hamilton was very cold in the role, but held the definition of "tall, dark, handsome and moody" going down, which they obviously didn't want in the end. Plus, he wasn't in the role long, from episodic debut, to announce of exit, to his actual exit. He debuted on January 21; his exited was announced on February 11, and then by February 19 he was out. Cibrian debuted two-days later on February 21. Hamilton said his departure was by mutual decision based on the "evolution of the character from the way it was initially conceived," so I fully believe they wanted to warm the role of Cole a bit to match Caitlin a bit more. And then they went and recast Caitlin. I feel like Hamilton would have worked with Kam Haskin a bit better than he did with Dorman.
