Liberty City

date: Thursday, September 25, 2025 | Jamey Giddens, Cheryl L. Davis | Steven Williford Anita is off in the distance, as Vernon is Dreamgirls-ing the Articulettes. Halle Bailey? I mean, sure, she could do it. But is it necessary? No. It is not. Oh my... did Vanessa just... oh yes, she definitely did. Oops, Douglas is gone. So sad. A car crash? Damn. That is reckless and fiery. What a way to go. Marcel, shut the Hell up. You should have been in that car with Douglas. Plain and simple. Lord, not "THE_Anita_Impersonator". Haha. That is brilliant. Bloody brilliant. Hey child bride, you sound insane, insecure and delusional. And you know it. Not Anita denying that the impersonator looks nothing like her. Haha. I like that. Damn, Vanessa's brain is going a mile a minute, as it usually does when one receives shock news such as your husband's [unexpected] death. Oh, the look on Bill's face when he saw that Dani married Andre in Vegas is the look of true heartbreak. Child bride, you should run. Not Nicole summoning Andre and Andre only in this situation. Boy, you are in T-R-O-U-B-L-E! Bad boy. Oop, Vanessa is onto Joey; do not back down, girl. Realise what he did. You know he did it. You know it. Oop... Bill is on his way to confront Dani. The tension is thicker than thick. I love it. Andre, you are barking up the entirely wrong tree with Anita and Vernon, as well as Nicole. You are not looking good in this situation at all. Come on, man. Bill versus Dani is FIRE! And he is just giving her more ammunition with knowing how you feel, which is going to cause her to not want to end the marriage after all. Notes: One episode in, and the "second writer" (as I am calling him) is already bringing his "tricks" to this soap. Lord help us. Michele, rein him in, immediately. Having someone verbally c*m? At 2pm in the afternoon? That is bold. WOW! Lauren Buglioli (Vanessa) gave outstanding work in today's episode. A shining light of [new] talent this soap gave a platform to.

No, she is back in California. 😉

Martha is locked in, boo. Nor do I think they'd accommodate Storms like GH has, from her absences and her living out of state.

He should have. But considering she is not credited right now, part of me thinks the opt-out cycle was chosen.

I agree; it's very... telling when those types of posts are made within the monthly discussion topic. Lemme go find some titties to post.

She full-out stated she would accept it if they did drop her, but Frank said he'd keep her on.

This makes me very happy for Beyond the Gates to see their continued success; the best American daytime soap right now.

Should see him on X, too.

I meant to say "hasn't requested any specific time off". To my recollection, this is the first time she has requested time off for any period of time (publicly, anyway). Plus, for me, requesting time to relocate you and your child in comparison to being out for medical reasons is vastly different, again from my perspective. And I state that because I would not fire her for requesting the time (especially when you offer to supposedly keep her on contract), nor do I believe she could be fired for medical absences (as I am sure medical absences are covered via contracts/SAG-AFTRA, etc.), especially if for longer periods of time. It's not like she called Frank and said, "Meh, I don't want to work today. Replace me."

I credit that to Patrick Mulcahey restoring the role in writing, and it clearly pushed Kirsten Storms to recommit to the role after years of bullshït with Peter August/Austin Gatlin-Holt.

Honestly, Dillon should have returned when Chad Duell exited as Michael. That would have been the perfect time to reintroduce the role and fill the void left by Michael's absence. Hell, even Rory Gibson would have rocked it in that role. As for Kirsten Storms, it is very clear Frank Valentini has a soft spot for her, and outside of medical issues, this is the first time [to my knowledge] she has requested any specific time off. And, it is worth noting, despite stating she was still on contract, since exiting, she has yet to be credited with the contract cast. While I would welcome Jen Lilley back, she has made it very clear: she will never step foot onto the set of GH again after her last time there. And considering Valentini's distaste for pinch-hitters, Burnett would be out of the running for a recast. If anything, they could have/should have pulled a DAYS and alternated between Storms and Nicole Paggi, considering Paggi's recent stints whenever Storms has been unavailable, and once Storms was settled in Nashville, she could return to set and resume filming.

Ultimately, it is a ratings/demos thing, as proven by previous regime changes, truly. If they continue to perform (and they have been), then the 'suits' have no need to change. I am seeing this as a positive thing.

My only hope is that this does tighten up the writing, which has been very elementary for quite some time; almost makes me wish they had brought in a co-head writer (although, Josh Griffith's track history has proven itself when it comes to sharing that title).

Please no to Berris. Never him. And I liked Robert Palmer Watkins and would not complain about a guest appearance for the memorial episodes (especially for the sake of flashbacks). Honestly, I am peeved about Scott Clifton's alliance with The Bold and the Beautiful, because he should be back at GH, and it is a shame that it is unlikely Bradley Bell was willing to share him for two days of shooting, etc.

I agree; it is a cute, comfy set. I imagine it is an older-styled complex exterior, so it works for me.

Jane outshining them all.

He wishes he served that much Charisma Uniqueness Nerve and Talent.

Either shave the head or grow the hair out, because whatever he is trying right now does not work for him. And what a weird way to try and sell ugly shoes.

I think it is more about the women being positioned in front of the [taller] men. Visually, mixing them would not have worked, in my eyes.
