Liberty City

He really did; he understood them. Drew was a bit more likable under Mulcahey, too, but the role is completely destroyed beyond repair. Re-watching Billy Miller's Drew vs. Cameron Mathison's Drew, and it's a complete 180° turn in characterization. Disappointing.

It was a return-to-form for Ava... back to her Jerome roots where she didn't need a man to help her. She was a woman playing in the man's game, as she should always have been. West said this in a 2013 interview with Michael Logan: ❝ It's awesome! And it makes Ava even cooler. She's like, "So what if I'm not a guy? I'm an heir!" She didn't marry into the mob. She is the mob. When you grow up watching your father come home and wash blood off his hands, you don't give it much mind. There are no rules when you've been raised in a world like that — and that's very freeing as an actor. I loooove Ava! I love that she is so poised — almost hyper-poised — as she struts around town yet she's also gritty, angry, really abrasive. I love that she's hiding things. ❞ And I feel like, despite my feelings of impending exit for Ava under Mulcahey's pen, he really did put Ava back on that track, which she needed. And you could tell West was selling it (as she always does).

Yes to all of this; while I hated the breakdown of Ava & Nina's friendship it did give me what I wanted from the moment Cynthia Watros was cast in the role of Nina: her vs. Maura West. Two powerhouse performers going at it. Sure, it wasn't in the exact tone I would have hoped for, but we got some super juicy moments of feuding (a.k.a. a return to form for the two characters).

Been watching the "live" feed, via Amazon Prime Video, and I've got to say: the 2000's and 2010's were definitely a vastly different time. Both in terms of production, story and cast. Some upsides and some downsides to both. I will say: there are plenty of [former] characters i'd love to see come back, honestly.

That scene was great; the way the set is now being used in ways we hadn't seen prior (using the window on the stairs) was brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

I would wager Maxie's 180 in personality and Alexis' return to law were one of the two main things Mulcahey did that was needed. Stripping Sonny of the ass-kissing audience of Port Charles was another highlight for me, as well, but we saw what happened with that.

I agree: again, I think under a creative executive producer, he would have really done some change. Yes, [some things] happening I wasn't in-love with, but overall he was fixing a lot of problems previous regimes had.

Wilson never respected COVID protocols. He's horrible.

100% more talented than so many major-signed [overrated] artists.

Nothing will make that happen... especially losing Edward J. Scott to Y&R.

My life tonight.

Some of Guza's work from his multiple tenures as head writer at GH: (1997–2001, 2002–2008, 2008–2011)

Honestly, overall, this writing team is solid. Real solid. Michele Val Jean is classic & Robert Guza Jnr, despite all of his faults, will bring some real excitement to Sweeps period, and they both worked together on General Hospital, so that's a promising sign. Susan Dansby is finally getting her due as script editor⏤which means bullshit won't be making it onscreen. And I'm happy they have a continuity producer. I don't believe any other soap has one of those, especially the one with a "historian" as head writer. The two names I don't like seeing are Sara A. Bibel & the "writer," both of whom I'm at least in comfort knowing are breakdown writers, only. Their roles will be tight and restricted, thankfully. But, I love seeing an all-Black writing team of script writers, which will provide a very unique POV to American daytime viewers. Let's go!!! Bring it the frick on!!!!!!!

Being co-head to Val Jean's head is a comfort for me. I trust Val Jean.

He's good at moving stories, and providing some real solid Sweep period storylines. I do believe being Val Jean's co-head will suit him well. Well, Val Jean worked with Guza Jnr on GH, so I assume they had a decent working partnership, enough to where she brought him in as executive producer and co-head writer.

Glad to hear it's official

Errol, don't tease like that. 🍵

Her work and sense of style is fantastic; a lot of the cast looked amazing on the red carpet for the 13K episode, and her own personal style is outstanding! The IG post she made shopping for clothes for Y&R really excited me, because they looked outstanding!

Anytime! Glad I could post it!!! And I agree: I love that she isn't trying to emulate Julie Berman or Emme Rylan. Tha's going to be exciting!

LOVE her work, and amSO happy the announcement is official!
