Sure she is! But, I was thinking another co-HW or Assoc HW. But, it could be as you say. Especially since I believe some of that rank is going to be leaving. 

I forgot the script editor position.  She knows the show very well and she would oversee every script. 

GH:

- Jillian Dedote first listed as Director on February 20

It's always nice to see someone get a shot after working their way up the show: from Assistant to the EP in 2012 to a Production Associate to Associate Director/Editor to a Director now.

She's coming home to GH, isn't she?  Please!   If she does return, I think she'll be a BDW who will occasionally write scripts, but I'll take her back in any capacity.

Gunn’s Superman Legacy is out on 7/11, no? Two weeks before in a crowded summer box season isn’t really a head to head like Barbenheimer was. 

The Barbenheimer effect was more so about cinema goers making going to the theaters an event again. The two films are different, but many people were going in droves to watch both on the same day and with groups of people. The two films were also released on the same day for this to happen. 

Ah yes, you're right.  I thought it was coming out on July 25th for some reason. 

Just a reminder that casting arrivals/departures are to be discussed in the spoiler forum, especially if there's already a thread for it.  There's no need to discuss it in two places.   These monthly discussion threads should be mainly about what happens on screen.  

One of the alleged shooters being tackled.

Are you speaking to me? If yes - I was joking. Cue the gif I used. I can care less anymore about these boring fights. They are really that... BORING.  I am having fun and minding my business and just tried to make a fun atmosphere.  And please... people are complaining about other people all the time. And you don't say anything to them. People are even telling you are not a good mod and you don't publicly say anything to them, just delete their posts. I tried to defend you and my comment was also deleted. So yeah. I didn't see you make a warning like this in these situations.  BUT my Valentines jokes are an issue and a cause to warn me to not complain? I am not able to comment jokingly without ANY PERSONAL attack or NAMING names, but people can argue and tell others they are blocking them all the time. And I get a comment like this?  

Please - tell a remark like this to the real negative people who are using the board for toxicity. I feel really shocked by this reaction, since I have done nothing wrong. I am staying away from the drama. I was just giving a fun remark about it here. 

 

 

I had no problems with your Valentine's Day joke.  I thought it was funny.   I was reiterating something that I've posted years ago in this thread because it has happened before - don't use this thread to complain about the board.  It wasn't just a response to this one specific post above, but the many posts from the last couple of pages.  

Great cast!  But this franchise has had no luck at all.  Putting it up against Superman is interesting.  Are they hoping for a Barbenheimer Part 2? 

Don't use this thread, or any thread, to complain about other posters.    Report your issues.  If action is to be taken, @Errol and I will respond.   I've said this many times in the past: let people hang themselves.  But sometimes the wheels of justice might not roll as fast as you want it to.

Everyone just needs to relax.

Yeah, it's definitely a good guess JHB and Harrison wrote during the strike.  Lindsay wrote 8 scripts in 2014 and then all of a sudden, she's back?  Very sketchy.  We'll see who else shows up/disappears.  And it's also a good guess Janice was fired as well. 

What the! You trying to get “The Taylor Effect” for SON with this post or something?  

Last Sunday Taylor wins her 4th AOTY at the Grammys and now Travis wins his 3rd Super Bowl - what a power couple right now. 

Fantastic 4th quarter and overtime.  Once SF kicked that field goal in overtime, you just knew Patrick Mahomes was going to drive down the field and score a touchdown.  

Just a one example on how Taylor is impacting relationships by just attending a football game.  A lot of young girls are getting into the NFL and bonding with their father which is just really awesome to see. 

Christopher Nolan won the DGA.  One step closer to his long awaited Oscar.

When certain people meet arguments they can't argue with, it's expected for them to play it off like they don't care anymore. Next. 

Right.  It's okay to admit mistakes and say you're sorry about being wrong.  That's a good character trait to have.  There's always situations where people just want to be angry about the littlest things just so they can bring out the pitchforks to make themselves feel better, or justify their beliefs.  It's like context doesn't matter.  Truth doesn't matter.  Just "being right" matters.

To be honest Im not gonna comment anymore. This is the most Ive ever written about Taylor on here and quite frankly, Im not that invested in her so I'll leave it alone. Carry on

There's no need to run away.  I just asked a simple question. 

I forgot to ask, for those who were upset with Taylor "snubbing" Celine, did you just see the clip of her accepting the award or were you watching live?  If you were watching live and saw Taylor standing up, clapping, and singing to Celine's song, how could you see that and then think Taylor intentionally snubbed Celine?  It doesn't make sense.

PLENTY of negative people have huge fanbases. Look at Nicki Minaj

True, but I'm telling you as someone who follows Taylor's every move (LOL), she's not a negative person.   If Taylor constantly did the stuff like Nicki's doing, I wouldn't be such a huge fan of Taylor's.   And the size of Nicki's fanbase is nowhere near the size of Taylor's.

That period was very derided at the time, especially the Tin Man story. I suppose their lasting legacy may have been creating V. They also brought Julia back for a few weeks after Sonny left Brenda, which I appreciated.

Yes, I remember their tenure not being liked by fans and I was one of them.  I was pretty happy when Guza replaced them. 

Taylor is literally standing, clapping and SINGING one of her songs, and looks really excited to see her.  Like come on guys.  This is ridiculous.   Look, if she intentionally was bitchy towards someone and did something truly malice, I would say so.  This was not it.  And Taylor is not a negative person.  I wouldn't follow someone so closely if they were because I don't like to have a lot of negativity in my life.  I gravitate towards Taylor because she is genuinely a positive person, and yes of course it helps that I love her music.  She would not have this huge of a fanbase if she was a negative person - parents would not be sharing her music with their daughters/sons, bringing them to concerts, bringing them to the movie theatres to see the concert movie.  They wouldn't expose their children to her.

Some mid/late '90s episodes uploaded here just now.

Awesome. Thanks!  Glad they included the end credits.  I totally forget that Janet Iacubuzio and Chris Whitesell were HWs at GH in 1997. 

Yeah, this whole Celine thing is blown out of proportioned.  It's small things like this, that haters are waiting for.  Taylor can't mess up.  And if she does, people are going to jump on her because they can't wait to take her down.  I've seen this her entire career.  People take what they see on screen for 5 seconds and twist it to make it look like she did something so bad so they can't say "see....I was right!!".   It's like at the MTV VMA awards in 2013 when One Direction was up on stage accepting an award and they cut to Taylor and Selena Gomez, and Taylor mouthed "Shut the f--- up."  Instantly, people jumped all over that thinking she was talking about Harry, when in fact she was telling Selena that in a way friends do.  But it was 5 seconds enough to bring out the claws.  Same in 2016 after the infamous phone call. 

Back to these awards, it was the record 4th album of the year - the most by ANYONE EVER.  She was understandably overjoyed, and she got lost in the moment - look at how excited she on stage hugging her co-producers.  Sometimes when something unexpected happens and it's something major, you're in shock and all your faculties aren't there.  LOL  What you didn't see on the broadcast was after she was done her speech, she turned to Celine and acknowledged her and Celine said something back. 

Taylor is like the last person to intentionally disrespect a legend like Celine.  When Celine came out, Taylor was on her feet and singing the entrance song.  And Taylor is also always standing up and singing along to people's performances, while most people in the audience are sitting down looking bored.  You saw a misstep, in a big moment, and think it's a character flaw because you hate her.  You you still something small and blow up it.  If you think Taylor is self absorbed, you clearly don't follow her and see how she interacts with people, with strangers, with fans.

This is just generalization. 

Yeah, I don't understand that generalization either.  Weird statement. 

16 straight posts with just you two?  WTF LOL. You know you could just PM each other right?

That's excellent! Are the two second generation soap family women among them? Emily Culliton & Karen Hall? Are any women of color? 

It's Kate Hall!  I didn't count Kate in the 5 because she's been at GH for a long time.  I only know Shannon Peace is a women of color.
