At OLTL I think priest Joey (Brian Michael Hall?) didn't last long. Many people never accepted Tim Gibbs as Kevin. A lot of people refuse to accept the current Ridge and Taylor on B&B, as well as IR as Thorne. Danica stewart had the misfortune of being an unaccepted recast on two different shows.

I was pleased to see Gio and Emma decide to go against Sonny's advice and admit the full truth to Dante and Lulu, but what are the odds they actually follow through with it?

What has been more facepalm worthy this week? 1. Rocco dining with his "other family." 2. Alexis and Ava patting each other on the back about being good mothers. 3. Jason being outraged about Brennan putting someone he loves in danger. Because that's his and Sonny's job, I guess. Maybe if he saw parallel's between Brennan/Joss and him and Sonny it could work, but that will never happen.

Daytime TV Actors Will Give You Chills in Their Scary Movies: Pictures Here is a list of some examples Notable ones include Maurice Bernard as a priest in Nightmare Cinema, Tracy Bregman as a mean girl in Happy Birthday to Me, Marcy Walker trying to kill Genie Francis in Terror in the Shadows, Anne Heche and Julianne Moore in the Psycho remake, Melody Thomas Scott in Hitchcock movie Marnie, and Anna Lee in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

And yet, after the Gio reveal, Dante apologized for holding a grudge against Sonny after that.

I agree. I don't think it was at Steve's urging or that he even wanted it. So many different things can be blamed. Frons's directives, JFP hating veterans, Guza wanting the show to be the Sopranos AND both Steve and Mo loving being bada** mobsters. There was a point during the Monavie era that I thought a lot went to Steve's head and he had way too much pull. He seems mellowed and more open now to play more nuance. Yeah, I'm not trying to say SB should be blamed for everything, but I can't help but feel like he did play some part in the mob taking over the show, and the Quartermaines being wasted and shoved to the side. Anyway, today when Michael kind of brushed off Jason rejecting the Q's as being so long ago, I was like "Ok, but you both still happily associate with the guy who killed Monica's son, and choose not to use the Quartermaine name, that's not ancient history." The really should have had one of Lucas/Anna/Dante say "OMG, Nathan?" at the end of the show.

I think Jason apologized at AJ's grave. But he's never had any problem with Sonny killing AJ. I'm kind of afraid Michael is going to convince Jason that he absolutely did the right thing keeping him from the Quartermaines. The Tracy/Jason scenes were great, but they gave me kind of a weird feeling. I think Burton really pushed for Jason to remain alienated from the Q's, which played a significant part in the family being pushed to the side. It seems odd to see him now being front and centre in honoring the family.

Was Victor intended to stick around long-term? I always thought him dying after the medical procedure was stopped was the plan all along.

Tina Sloan joined the show as Lilian first, with original Beth Judi Evans Luciano.

In general, any scene where a character talks about something they want to keep secret while keeping their back to a spot where someone could walk up and overhear them. Moving too specific examples ATWT - Hal learns that James Stenbeck is hiding out in some abandoned building, and heads down there with some of his cops to arrest him, sirens blaring. We then see James and his son David calmly noting the approaching sirens and deciding not to wait for the cops to arrive. And when the cops show up and find them gone, Hal is completely befuddled by how James could have pulled this off. Apparantly it never occurs to him that James could hear the sirens and realize he might not want to hang around. GL - Bradley Cole returns as Jeffrey (I think that was the name), and people are shocked by his resemblance to Richard. He comments to Edmund, "I get it, except for the beard, I look just like your brother." Then when he accepts a job to stay in town, he says, "I guess I'll shave my beard, maybe then people will stop thinking I'm this Richard guy." Because getting rid of the one thing that differentiates you from a guy will really help people distinguish you from him. AMC - Ryan and Ethan break into Zach's office, and stumble upon evidence that leads to them eventually realizing he caused the blackout. How? Because Zach had apparantly bought a day planner that he left completely blank, except for doodling a lightning bolt on the one day where he did something he wanted to keep secret. And he then held onto the planner for no logical reason, though at least he kept it taped under his desk. Zach sees that Ryan and Ethan broke in on a security camera, and decides maybe he should get rid of that incriminating day planner. Honestly, Ryan's entire return to the show falls into this category. Having Ryan bump into Alexander Cambias and be gifted the keys to the Cambias empire was ridiculous, and the way they had him arrogantly lord this over everyone in Pine Valley made him very unlikeable. And then, even though the fans who were happy to see Ryan come back were very much Ryan/Kendall fans, they had him fooling around with Greenlee, even after Greenlee almost got Kendall convicted of murder.

It was said that he didn't like the fast pace of shooting Soaps. Well, scratch the idea that Drew might wake up back to his old personality. If he's going to be the same ass he has been, they should have just killed him. Alexis said "Kristina's baby." Molly really needs to ditch her entire family.

LOL, I remember some fans trying to explain how the character of Chloe (played by Allison Mack, now known for... something other than acting) was actually Lois Lane, and thus the love of Clark's life.

Okay, I'm curious. What was this message board, and what was the franchise?

For AMC, people have mentioned Maria, but her return was a massive success compared to sisters Julia and Anita. Bobby was another dud. The return of Bianca for the first gay wedding in soaps turned out to be an absolute disaster. Dixie's return where she spent all her time mooning over Zach was a dud. I'd argue that Ryan's return also fizzled, but the show must kept trying to make it work until the bitter end. Speaking of Ryan, his brother's return also fits, IMO. A cute love story between a murderer and an autistic girl? Pass. I think Aidan once told Jonathon and Erin that it was in really bad taste for them to stick around Pine Valley, where the friends and family of Jon's victims had to see him walking around free. On GH, Lucky's recent return was a mess. AJ's return could also be called one, especially now that Michael has just shrugged off Sonny killing him. Robin's return after Michael's birth is another, damaging the character by having her go along with the Michael lie until her relationship with Jason ended, telling Karen to get over what Sonny did to her and getting mad that Mac wanted to put criminal Jason in jail. The return and destruction of Rick was shockingly bad. Stefan coming back to go completely psycho and be killed counts. Hmm, if I recall correctly, I think people ended up liking the second Karen (Marie Wilson) more than the first (Jennifer Hammon), but it's been a long time.

Maybe it’s all in my head, but it feels like there has been a number of moments recently where Drew’s former good guy persona has been mentioned. Molly mentioned it to Michael, Curtis and Alexis talked with each other about it, BLQ mentioned it, and Tracy talked about what Drew “had become.” It makes me think this shooting story might be used to redeem the character. I have this feeling he might wake up and think he is just coming too after being attacked in prison, and be completely stunned when people explain to him all that has happened since then. I'm frustrated that Emma seems to have been sidelined as the story that was really started when she returned to PC has been hijacked by other characters. It seems like she is only appearing once every two weeks now

Hmm, I'm sure I remember Hart talking about Roger asking him if Matt and Dinah were together, and Hart saying he had just said yes to blow Roger off. I had also been thinking that Matt accused Roger of threatening Vanessa to stop her from revealing herself, and Roger had retorted it was because she was upset about Matt/Dinah, but now I'm realizing that conversation was between Matt and Michael, not Roger.

I don't think that was a lie, really. Vanessa thought Matt and Dinah were a couple and wanted to leave town without telling anyone she was alive. I think Roger believed Matt and Dinah were together as well. If I recall correctly, Roger was actually talking to Vanessa on the phone when Matt, Hart and Dinah confronted him, and Matt ended up grabbing the phone and hanging up on her.

Question! I'm watching September 3, 1997 and Michelle has another vision of Maureen, but this time she's talking to Ed. But, this isn't Peter Simon. Did this actor ever play Ed before Simon, or did they just get a random to play the part? If the later, that's a bit disappointing and I'm surprised they couldn't convince Simon to come on for a day, assuming he still lived in NYC at the time. As already noted, that's Robert Gentry, who is actually best known from AMC, where he played Ross Chandler, Palmer's son and Adam's nephew, from 1983-1990

No one has really noticed any marks. Molly threw out a claim about it because she was angry and wanted to upset him. And it worked, leaving him really freaked out. Tracy, Kristina, and now a doctor have all told him there's nothing there.

I don't think Andy was conceived by the rape. I believe sometime after that, Kim was ready to leave John, but she had an accident that led to amnesia. John took advantage of the situation to repair their relationship, and that was when Andy was conceived

I think the story was that a drunken Dee initially responded because she thought John was actually the guy she was cheating on him with. And when she realized it was John, she was so out of it and weak that John didn't even notice her trying to stop him? John also raped Kim when they were married, but marital rape wasn't a crime then.

That was my first thought when I read the rumour, but I then had to ask if it would really be that much more of a change than going from Sean Kanan to Billy Warlock as AJ. And as someone who thinks they were both very good in the role, I'd keep an open mind if this recast happened. But I think the best idea for a Sasha recast would be to follow OLTL's example with Larry Wolek, and hand the role over to the actor's sibling. But apparantly I wasn't supposed to bring the rumours here, so we probably should stop talking about them. Speaking of the Cane recast on Y&R, there is something hilarious about the fact that Billy Flynn is supposed to have pretended to be Connor Floyd's father, and now Floyd will be joining Days as a recast of Flynn's character. Though I'm not sure it's more ridiculous than Summer being in the same "age group" as Mariah, who's twin was a teenager before Summer was born.

I'm not saying they won't look at her previous work if they are deciding about casting her, just that they wouldn't cast her "just because she had a lot of fans n Days." Oh, I never saw that. And yet many people dismissed the idea of Michael being recast when the rumours first popped up. Again, I'm not trying to claim these are absolutely credible repots, but they are making the rounds online as possible spoilers, so I thought this seemed like a good place for them to be posted.

I'm pretty skeptical about that too, though I wouldn't go as far saying there is no way it could happen. I think in the history of soaps, there are a lot of things that could never happen that have ended up happening. I should also note that there are apparantly some alleged sources who are pushing the "four deaths in the fall" narrative, but not saying anything about it being due to mob violence. Don't we know that she has chosen to leave? And it would make sense to recast Sasha quickly, in my opinion, because she would have no reason to stay away once Willow is outed as being the one who was targeting her. I also have to say I find it a bit odd to say VK would be cast "just because she had fans DAYS" as opposed to her being a talented actress, who could (I think) have real chemistry with Rory Gibson. And I don't think any dislike for Kate Mansi's Kristina, (which is more about the writing than her performance) would impact the decision of whether or not to cast VK any more than the great reception of Stephen Nichols as Stefan after being Steve on Days would make them more inclined to hire another Days star. That said, I have seen some people saying that VK was spotted on or near the GH set recently, and some posters may have jumped to the conclusion that she would be joining the show, picking Sasha as a character who might be recast soon, and put it out there claiming it was a legitimate leak. This is quite possible, but some people said the same thing when it was first rumoured that Michael would be recast. Some people are saying the true source of these spoilers is someone on Daytime Dish who has a good track record of releasing accurate leaks. Anyway, I'm not trying to say either of these rumours should be taken as gospel, but they are out there, so everyone can come to their own conclusions.

So, there's a couple rumours flying around. Casting - Comings and Goings (Spoilers) - Weekly Discussion Thread : r/GeneralHospital It's mentioned in this thread at Soap Opera Network that Victoria Konefal (formerly Ciara on Days) is rumoured to be being eyed as a recast for Sasha. There was also a post on the GH Soap Central board (though I can't find it anymore), claiming the Soap Dirt podcast had revealed an alleged leak that four characters will be killed by mob violence this fall. Two are supposedly going to be Monica and Leslie, and Brennan is said to be the third. The fourth character was kept secret, but said to be a big shock.
