I'd probably feel the same way if I thought there was a chance that Jason could retrieve his pre-Jason Morgan memories and regain some measure of his humanity, but it's clear that SB isn't interested in that, so therefore, I think he can go, too, Q ties or no Q ties.

On the other hand, at least it's the white girl who's pushing the mop this time, lol.

And that's exactly why I have no hope anymore for GH. Characters like Sonny Corinthos and Jason Morgan should not be on ANY show in 2024, and certainly not as heroes or even anti-heroes either. If I were HW'ing this show, you better believe the Pikeman storyline would end either with a massacre - I'm talking shootings and bombings galore! - or with Sonny, Jason and their families forced into exile as members of the Federal Witness Relocation Program, hopefully never to be seen or heard from again.

"Carson Boatman still can't act" should be DAYS' answer to "Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead".

Bringing back Brenda/VM (and reuniting her with Sonny) is just part of it. The bigger part is accepting that the "Carly/Jason/Sonny & Friends" contingent has finally played itself out and that the mafia needs to be deemphasized, if not eliminated entirely. (And I ain't just sayin' that, because I happen to despise those characters and everything they stand for. Facts are facts: Jason/SB came back and the ratings actually fell. That ALONE should have been a wake-up call to TPTB.)

And it looks kinda sudden, too! You see DAYS' ratings improving one week, then kind of retreating a bit the second week, then another little bump in the third, and then - BAM! - it's number-two!

Out of context, it's like TA's facial expression and body language are saying, "Really???". Meanwhile, I give it 'til the end of the day before people on Twitter start spreading a rumor that EM instructed the director to have TA stand far, far away on account of her being Black and "smelly."

I think so. I've said once before that I think it was the writers who were there between Pam Long's two stints that made GL more Reva-centric than Long herself. When Long returned, she just more-or-less continued the pattern, probably because that's what P&G or CBS (or both) wanted.

Trina might as well be observing these two from across the street.

I disagree. I think it's obvious what will bring in ratings, but ABCD and Frank simply won't do it.

It figures that former "Night Court" writers Gary Murphy and Larry Strawther wrote and produced that POS.

LOL!!

That's possible. But I suspect that Frank was in no rush to GET JJ back until everyone BTS began panicking about the ratings, forcing Frank to make some maneuvers he otherwise wouldn't have made - such as cutting ME loose - in order to free up salary and space for JJ. If Frank actually allows JPS to be written out for good, with no hope of redemption for Billy Joel, then I'll KNOW someone at ABC is holding Frank's ass to the fire.

Once upon a time, there was a chance to tell a story that, in effect, would explain Leo to the audience, but they blew that chance for some ridiculous Diana Colville return that went absolutely nowhere.

YES!! My vote's still for another school bus accident, something that could take out several kids and become an umbrella storyline for the show, like in Russell Banks' novel, "The Sweet Hereafter." I wish! Chances are, though, he'll just regenerate into another new character, "Doctor Who"/Frank Valentini style.

I think that was due to the change in EP's, from Robert Calhoun to Laurence Caso. I don't remember the Calhoun period being so sedate, lol. I wish I COULD forget it, lol!

Believe me, @Vee, I know how you feel. Haters are gonna hate, but I'm convinced that the only reason why Finn, Drew, Nina and even Ava "work" even a little bit now is due to PM's influence.

According to Jeffrey Stepakoff, who worked on "Dawson" from seasons 3-5, Litvack blurted that out during a story pitch meeting. Actually, Litvack said, "I don't care about that..." and you know the rest.

In my wildest dreams... ABC: "You want Mulcahey out? Get rid of Easton!" Frank: "But he's my best friend!" ABC: "Mulcahey or Easton, Frank. Those are our terms." Frank (mumbles): "Oh, alright."

He'll be back.

Wow, John Litvack. The man who, as head of scheduling and programming at the (now-defunct) WB Network, infamously once called Michelle Williams of "Dawson's Creek" a "chipmunk-cheeked c*nt."

He'll be back.

I'm all for a character who is redeemed or reformed by love, but Leo??

IIRC, it was the Jamal storyline that helped AMC finally win a Best Drama Series Emmy in 1992.

You're welcome! It's ironic how all three actors in that commercial worked with Bob Newhart at one point or another.
