Liberty City

I mean, fück, Cooper said she wished she could've "killed the writers" when Marge was killed off, haha. Hilarious.

Considering Chaves is also appearing in another Murphy show on FX this month... I'd wager either Murphy has him locked in or he isn't looking outside of that world.

Had they approached the storyline as Kristina feeling this motherly instinct towards Irene due to carrying her, all while acknowledging she were truly Molly & TJ's baby, then that would have been an understandable and compelling storyline. Instead, Kristina is fully engaged in being the MOTHER of Irene. It's insulting on so many levels.

Well, when they approached, Yellowstone was done. It wasn't until recently there was mumblings of a potential continuation, so if she did not have a deal in-place to return, it made her an open agent. And maybe the guaranteed gig of daytime for her is more secure than a [potential] sixth season, which wouldn't guarantee anything beyond that.

Even in her initial return, I always felt like Rena Sofer wasn't putting the accent as heavy as it was in the '90s or even when Lesli Kay was in the role. So I'm not surprised they [may] be considering the process of Lois not using it altogether.

With Alarr out, I doubt we'll be seeing the "writer" return.

I agree: the "in the moment of excitement" may be there, but the quality of the material is gone. Absolutely GONE. Had Mulcahey had people who were not Korte, Valentini and/or Varni (plus Disney as a whole) in his way, he would've been a bit more effective.

💯

We got rid of the Australian... we don't need the pseudo female reflection of that.

It has become an absolute chore to watch... just like the other American daytime soaps, and that's disappointing. But it's where we're at at this point in time, unfortunately.

And that's the problem with General Hospital: this is what "the fans" want to see, and it's tired. So tired. And anytime something new that goes against this is deemed wrong.

SO cringe! And very desperate.

So queerbaiting; Ryan Murphy will have him and every male naked, showing bulge and just... feeling very sexual. It's his M.O. and it's gross. I'm left feeling disgusted by this trailer... not because of the story⏤which is over-told at this point⏤but because of how it's being told.

Him off of his bipolar meds and everyone seemingly not ass-kissing him. AKA the storyline Patrick Mulcahey was pushing.

Very laughable. She did well as Marah... but she's not one for Lulu at all. Plus, I don't see her wanting to take the role based on the other roles I've seen her do in primetime. She usually goes for the sexier, more vixen-type of character, and that is not Lulu at all. Yup, and she even did The Young and the Restless in what was originally a long-term recast prior to a major regime change.

Hence why Valentini has to go so we can [try] to get him back.

I mean... look at Eric Braeden. He smack-talks every single regime once they're out, and even Jeanne Cooper did it when Maria Arena was out. 🤣

That would be a twist I'd love to see happen... which means it likely won't. Plus, with Sean Kanan firmly at The Bold and the Beautiful [for now] and his feelings towards his last tenure, I'd wager either Billy Warlock or a recast would be necessary for bringing AJ back to Port Charles. Although, his exit with Alan, Edward, Emily & Lila guiding him up the General Hospital staircase into the white light was moving.

True, very true. But Landon never left daytime outright: daytime left her (firings). Havins left daytime.
