Ignore them. 👍🏻 I completely agree: never shift away from the Hortons. As for longer scenes, it's not just a General Hospital issue.

I am GUTTED by Max Bowden's exit... but, with the impending return of Johnny Carter, I suspect they'll be pulling an Abigail / Stephanie with Callum, and having Johnny romance him post-Ben's exit.

It was a bit disheartening, but both were dealing with traumatic experiences, so in that regard I can semi-understand Sharon's treatment.

💯

Now THIS is more like it for this thread. A break from the generic-looking fakes.

I marathoned all-day, and I am all-caught up at this point! 😉 All six ladies of "the six" storyline did amazing work, but it is the works of Kellie Bright & Letitia Dean that have stood out for me, both on the Christmas episode and the immediate follow-up. Gina is the definition of the girl who is attracted to the problem children. First with Jay and now with Dean; it's standard rebellion of her parental figures (Cindy, Elaine, George). I am intrigued with Dean's re-entry into the canvas, and it's partially while I am anticipating Shirley's return in 2024, possibly with Johnny in-tow (since Johnny is returning). Makes me wonder what's bound to happen, re: Linda.

And yet, feels like the same s**t we've already seen before, both on this soap and others.

OMG! Watching the Christmas episode. All of the women vs. Nish is iconic. I love this. so much! Love seeing such female solidarity! A rarity in soaps!

There is no set return, but when Linda Henry left it was told to press she'd be back. I'll never give up on Shirley's return. And Henry hasn't signed any kind of morning gig.

I am loving how camp she is. Now, I cannot wait for Shirley to come back and go head-to-head with her, haha.

Now Elaine is singing "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime," haha. The camp of it all.

Haha, thank you. 🙏🏻 I'll always stand in my truth, no matter how unpopular or against the status quo it may be.

WOW! 🫥

Wishing them the best in their next chapters.

Soap Opera Digest is now reporting the news, citing TV Guide.

Finally catching up. I'm at the end of November / beginning of December, and it's so f**king good.

Damn. That sucks. Good on Stephanie Sloane, though. Uh-oh. Someone's in trouble, LOL!

Sharon Case (Sharon) was in for a surprise when she opened up her script for the episode airing on Friday, January 5 and discovered that Y&R was devoting the entire hour to her character. “I remember paging through every page and I kept seeing Sharon’s name,” recalls the actress. “ I couldn’t believe it. I’m like, ‘Still me,’ and then, ‘It’s still me. What? Wait, what is going on? This can’t be right. This is all me. I’m on every page of the script. Wow.’ So prior to reading about it, I had had no forewarning. I mean, we do get the scripts well in advance, so that’s fine, but how I found out was reading the script. I knew I had a lot to prepare.” x

Seems to be a trend lately; first with SONews reporting the Bold return and now this? LOL. 🤣 Reminds me of the days when magazines would show up EARLY in the post (rather than late or never).

Regardless, both People and Us Weekly have reported the same with their own obtaining of the court documents, and People reported before TMZ did. Kristina was recast first and the intention was to always recast the role, regardless of what happened to Haley Pullos. Both Kate Mansi and Holiday Mia Kriegel started on the same day.
