Liberty City

West can and does sell anything and everything given to her. She turns shït into GOLD! My theory? Cates' murder was meant to be Ava's murder, and it was a swap-out at some point. that's just my theory on that.

Catching up... again. I need more familiarity in 2025. I really do. The 4K production model they're clearly using is doing better in the 2024 season over 2023, but [some] improvements could still be made. Just the most subtle of differences help overall.

Haha, see, this is why I brought it up, lmao. I knew you'd sus my dream out real well, haha. And why not ultimately saddle Brenda with more kids? It's the rage in Port Charles... Maxie got three, Sam [had] two, etc. Everyone gets kids.

Gio was Alec. 🤣 Must be why my head is pounding this morning, lmao. @carolineg is getting into my head. And no... it was Vanessa Marcil not Gina Tognoni in my dream (in case she tries to say I recast Brenda in my sleep).

@carolineg I had a dream Brenda came back to work at Deception, to overtake homophobe Natalia, and it somehow came out that Gio was actually her son (retconning his Bensonhurst connection).

Mhmm. And then ABC Daytime were shady AF really screwing it to Francis some more, re: AMC.

Teddy's ex-wife. She is fabulous!

Omg... behind-the-scenes reasons?! Oh. I'm so out of the loop on those... but, Valentine did return for the finale (albeit via message). But maybe a potential recast, or bring back the pinch-hit from 2008? I just wish we'd get the Kennedy's family back in 2025! That's what is missing for me.

I feel like outside of this interview she's already refrained from naming Monty or that it was a female producer... she'd always go "Did you hear what they're saying?" or what a producer said. Here, she didn't hold that back.

Not necessarily a storyline or trope, but [per Genie Francis] Gloria Monty remarking that it didn't matter if Francis lived or died, because Tony [Geary] was the star of the show. That's downright nasty behaviour. And storyline-wise, turning Laura & Luke into a love story. Never should have happened.

She did on The Brighter Day, I believe?

Catching up on Emmderdale, and I'm quite liking Samantha Power as Tina Dingle.

Maurice P. Kerry lists himself as "Randy Parker" on Beyond the Gates.

Which, to me, is ridiculous. The fandom kicked-off before they were even paired together and they were paired, they were together for all of five minutes, lmao. Shows no faith Frank and company have in themselves. Utter trash. I'm often wondering this, myself.

He could have been a decent Spencer but I don't think he commands the presence I do believe the role requires. Plus, it feels like the Cassadine era of GH is on pause. Nikolas is in jail (with occasional visits), Valentin & Charlotte are gone (YAY), and Alexis barely acts like a Cassadine. It's clear the Spencer side of Laura's children is their focus, and Cameron would've fit into that mold. Gio just feels like the character that has no sense of direction outside of occasionally playing violin, and now being the grown-up male Violet.

The historian must've been sleeping that day. 🤣 The character is Gio, to me, is pointless casting of Giovanni Mazza. Mazza, while green (to me), would have fair more suited a Cameron Webber recast than another retconned family member. I do think the plan was to put Gio with Trina, but they got scared off from the pairing. Such a shame, too, because I felt like both Mazza & Tabyana Ali had that spark between them that could have ignited.

Curtis talking about understand how things work now, and then furthering to detail her time on B&B and how she turned out content under the time she said she had, even with them running over time. And other examples of what she did. This is what we need on GH. And then quite literally said, without naming Frank, by stated they either don't have the expertise or have the team behind them to produce lightning in a bottle. This is what GH needs.

I'd love to see more of the Kennedy clan in 2025. Re-watching "live" episodes, and seeing their family I would love for a full-time return for Libby Kennedy & Ben Kirk, and then see the returns of Malcolm & Billy at some point down-the-line. That would be very, very exciting!
