Days of our lives, Passions and/or B&B should own this tbh lol

Im on my 2016 GH binge and oh damn. Laura Wright‘s acting was chef‘s kiss after her son Morgan died and kinda blaming Sonny for it. LW really put her heart into those scenes.

I would never call Jason a great or present parent (despite the brief whitewash job they attempted on him with Jake, where Hudson West's Jake had a deep bond with Billy Miller's Drew-as-Jason). But the shadow of Jason Morgan does loom very large over PC. The kid could easily have picked up on the local legend. Me, I would chalk it up to being about that and about the aspects of Sam herself that she's not necessarily coming to terms with.

But didn’t Hudson West‘s Jake was more raised by Franco? 

Nice congratulations to Justin Hartley! He deserves it 

John Black on Days..

I didn’t expect less. Well deserved 

The trailer already looked like a cancelled after the first season kinda show.. I love JH and hope he gets a second season but can’t wait to see where this will head too

I’ve finally watched the entire September 2016! That month felt like a whole sweeps and i was sucking it up!

Sam/Jason (Drew) got married.

The Julian story came to a climax. His trial started and Alexis and the whole case fell apart and Julian got free. But oh god I forgot how annoying Julian was during all of this. He really thought he could just walk back into his old life and pick it up with everyone. I can’t believe that there were still people who wanted Julexis back. That’s insane man!

Hayden-Elizabeth got revealed to be half-sisters. That whole plot was handled well to be fair. The serial killer plot put Liz in danger and everyone thought Hayden pushed her down the stairs. I loved how Finn-Curtis helped her out and cleared her name. Hayden saved Liz life and spent her rare blood she shared with Liz. Good stuff, good stuff.

The serial killer story. I said it before and I’m saying it again: it was a half asses story. This serial killer story went on for nearly a year and they just picked up the space coz Burgi/Paul was leaving the show for primetime. But I’ll do admit that it became entertaining.

if there was ever an actress on GH who was phoning it in and wanted out of this show than it is Teresa Castillo as Sabrina. She kinda used her maternity leave and returned and still just made it to 28 episodes between January til September. Crazy lol BUT they handled her death and murder pretty well. Damn I cried my eyes out and was in shock when Paul killed Sabrina and she became the next victim after attacking Monica and getting figured out by Sabrina. Heavy stuff. But u could tell Burgi was out the show coz he became sloppy. The Susan Hornsby reveal and why Paul did the killings were so last minute coz the actor was out on his way lol Tracy figuring her ex husband out and having a one on one with him was epic. Anna returning and figuring out that Paul was the killer in 1 episode was so half assed lol But the final showdown in September was Anna finding Tracy and Paul and Dillon entering the scene where he tried to kill Tracy. I had goosebumps. I liked Burgi as Paul Hornsby and think he wasn’t a bad recast. He wasn’t even bad written but it could’ve been handled a bit better or with a little bit more time. I still enjoyed the serial killer story in September!

And we got the Nathan-Claudette-Griffin-Maxie story back up front and Claudette revealing that she has a daughter “Charlotte” and that it’s hers with Nathan. I don’t know why but I didn’t mind this story but didn’t care for it either tbh.

Morgan having a go with Julian was one of my personal favorites too. U could tell he’s like his father. But Morgan being back in school and then cheating? Bruh what a lame ass story lol 

Georgie, Alan, Emily from GH

Elizabeth knows, was involved and could testify aganist him

Would Liz testify against her best friend ?

Tuner has been there for 15 years and I always thought they could’ve sent his character packing for the last few years. U have to give it to the show: they tried! They really tried to keep him around as much as possible.

I remember when he joined the show and they were ganging up Carsten coz he was gay

More overrated than Sonny and Jason? Lol

I actually don't love Duke/Anna.  I think IB and FH have very good chemistry, but their stories weren't great or at least didn't catch my attention.  I also didn't really get the hype or chemistry when they were re-paired about 10 years.  Sometimes I think you miss some of the magic if you didn't see it in real time (which I assume you didn't?) and I think that might be the case for me here at least.

Maybe equally overrated as Sonny and Jason lol

Nah I don’t think that this is it coz I haven’t watched FnF either in real time and they are one of my favorite couples of all time. Their story’s were fire.

Idk what it was but 1987-1989 felt kinda struggling and I was only interested in FnF, Steve,Audrey and a few. But Duke has never been a favorite of mine there. 

I watched some super couple clips while traveling but damn. I came to the conclusion that Duke Lavery was the most overrated romantic lead ever and the pairing of him and Anna was so-so.. I even blame this whole mob thing for GH to lose #1…

That's fair.  I always forget about Chase and the fact that he's a cop.  Jordan has Mac's old job, and Dante has a federal enforcement past.  Although none of them have solved Austin's murder.

So, I guess I'm just happy that Carly has someone new (maybe?sort of? kind of?)

Also, I assume that I am the only one lighting a candle for the return of Dr. Matt Hunter.

Yeees to Matt! But not if they force him on KS again lol the little Matt/Liz story was so sweet

Do Brenda fans really want her back in the FV era to be ruined at the altar of Carly?

Soapy Carly is long gone. Saint Carly is propped to the heavens and will be written as superior to Brenda just like Nina and Ava. They never win an argument over her and are forced to beg her for help at times. 

VM is smart enough to not return to GH for LW to run roughshod over her like the rest of her female co-stars. Carly dominates the other women under FV as the queen bee alpha female presence. Writing is skewed beyond belief since 16-17 to make Carly as bulletproof as possible in every story. Everyone kisses her ass. Nobody calls her out. Brenda will be made subservient to Carly in this era just like Nina and Ava. You get along with her or get run over. 

 

Never thought about it that way. I love my Brenda but she would become just the new Nina but what if the new/old writer coming back she had a chance?

omg.. Antonio‘s Truth.. is he on something? Concerning

No offense to anyone, but I don't think you can compare Great American Family Jagger replacing ASJ to Billy Warlock succeeding Sean Kanan as AJ.

I just brought it up earlier coz it was shocking and controversial back then lol 

CW a better actress than Vanessa? Wow.. 

or on 90210 and later Las Vegas… She showed a lot of range. No offense to CW (I liked her on GL) but no way is she better lol I highly disagree for the first time ever But I’ll give it to CW to work with all the horrible stuff the writers threw at her lately… But Stafford will always be Nina to me

Unfortunately for her, when she was free of GH other shows wanted her but they didn't do a good job at all of actually writing story for her characters there. The example of Diana Colville at DAYS is pitiful. Yes, they put her with John & she was a reporter, sure, but they didn't really write for her & then when she said she was leaving then they said to wait that they had this great idea for a story. She walked out the door.  

And in the case of Sexy Dexy be able to tolerate 7 different hairstyles in 2 weeks' time! That is a lot of extra time spent in the Hair & Makeup chair! 

Okay, if you say so, but you're gonna have to remind me what they were! Sorry but I do not remember this at all. And, my short term memory functions just fine. 

When Sonny learned about Nina‘s betrayal… The Cyrus attack… Sonny asking Dex to kill Cyru and if he‘s with him. That was the Sonny straight from the 2000‘s back in the show. I do think that some of his mumbling and tiredness has to do with the bipolar and his meds.

The dichotomy of Genie Francis, nearly 50 years into her career on GH, giving performances like the one she gave yesterday next to a lazy, ungrateful, utterly bored actor like Maurice Benard mumbling through all of his scenes is striking.

This is the lead of the show?

To be fair Maurice had a lot of good acting delivered in January. An actor can’t be on top of their game every day 

Would u say this jagger recast is worse than Sean Keanan‘s AJ becoming Billy Warlock‘s AJ? 
 

Maybe they should recast Brenda with Terri Conn

Is 1981 a great year in the show? 

Definitely! My source is getting me the next 170 episodes ready and will get me through until at least February 1982

Heather‘s story was phenomenal! The ice princess story was dragging BUT since May it really became exciting. I also love how balanced the cast is. Not like today where u don’t see some for weeks and then they pop up. 
 

Still have to wait for the rest of my 1981 episodes from my source

I started to watch some Lilly-Sonny-Brenda scenes. Damn Brenda got cray cray lol 

Ofc Sonny loved her BUT I will always give it to Sonny coz he really tried to be a good husband to her and that was enough for Lilly. I get that Brenda and Sonny Fans hated Lilly but it was juicy drama like when Brenda used Jax or when she got herself into a snow storm. 

Lilly was so loyal to Sonny. Brenda even wanted to betray him to the cops but then pretends like they belong together? Can‘t make that up lol LILLY would’ve never done that. 

Best Line ever from Brenda was: Why does he look so hungry? (Whoever wrote the dialogue back then was on fire )

Love that she's writing a book! A memoir I suppose? What is it that she wants? I mean to come back to GH? Not in general. 

Back then she wanted some flexibility like Genie Francis etc… 

Probably a big paycheck ofc and flexibility with the filming schedule to have enough time for her family.. Kinda like Geary I guess who got a contract for like 30-32 weeks and rest vacay. 

I mean this cast is hughe. Instead of casting some queer as folk actors why not giving Vanessa something and bring her back. I know she ain’t a priority etc. But I’m still a fan of her.

There was someone commenting: Sonny is single right now!

Vanessa‘s reply: Sonny is always single when Brenda‘s in town! (I chuckled coz it reminded me of the Brenda vs Lilly story lol)

I personally don't see a need for NuJagger at all.  It would be a fun idea if Karen was alive or if Brenda or Robin were around.  But who does Jagger know in town?  Sonny? Lois and Ned? A few vets like Scotty, Felicia, Lucy, and Anna in a pretty basic sense?  It's just of all the characters you could bring back Jagger isn't on that list.  And a weird recast Jagger at that.  Unless he is secretly married to Brenda and brings Vanessa back to the canvas.   I don't think that's likely though .  Maybe it's to usher in his son to join the teen cast. 

Why not? She is writting a book and teased about behind the scenes stuff being in it from her time.

she was always open to return.. But ABC/GH never wanted to give her what she wants. If they would finally settle for her pleadings then maybe we could actually have her back 

Jagger?

oh. Do they really mean Jagger Jagger.. Like ex husband to Karen? 
I mean since PC got defunct by the effin OLTL bros can we bring back Karen too? Like she never died or something…

And since we are on a he recast spree with „Jagger“… Oi.. Can we get back AJ Quartermaine and pretend like Sonny killed the wrong AJ and Billy Warlock died and Sean Keanan lives as AJ. Would mean more to me than Jagger

hey why not bringing back Miguel lol joking 

Thank you so much
