Now that PM has left the building, I'd say chances are better than good that Drew and Nina will revert to what they were before: a wannabe game show host and the town's punching bag, respectively. I feel compelled to keep Michael on canvas, if only b/c I think Carly needs at least one of her kids to be still in town. (I'd send Joss to Australia to be with Jax, who has taken ill; and then have Dex join her later when he realizes how much he misses her). But I'm not opposed to a recast! With Spencer (presumed) dead, I don't see much use anymore for Trina, unless this show comes up with another, equally dynamic love interest for her (presumably, someone who works at the hospital). And Kristina...? Well, she can just leave, along with T.J. and Molly, after she miscarries that baby. I'll even let her leave town to reconcile with Blaze, who has kicked Natalia to the curb, lol. You wanna cut Gio/Giovanni already? The bastard ain't even had time to unpack, lol!

I'm not so sure about that, lol. But the wedding would have been a perfect occasion for a literal bloodbath, courtesy of our friends at the Pikeman Group. Instead, the only death we got was Gonzo's, and even that turned out to be underwhelming.

No one asked for this, but... KHAN'S GH "CUT LIST" Tabyana Ali (Trina) Tajh Bellow (T.J.) Michael Easton (Finn) Robert Gossett (Marshall) Tanisha Harper (Jordan) Adam J. Harrington (Wagger) Evan Hofer (Dex) Josh Kelly (Cody) Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) Kate Mansi (Kristina) Cameron Mathison (Drew) Sofia Mattsson (Sasha) Eden McCoy (Joss) Kelly Monaco (Sam) Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn) Kirsten Storms (Maxie)* Josh Swickard (Chase) Donnell Turner (Curtis) Cynthia Watros (Nina) Maura West (Ava) ...and pretty much everyone on the recurring/off-contract roster, with the possible exceptions of: Lynn Herring (Lucy) Wally Kurth (Ned) Jon Lindstrom (Kevin) Lisa LoCicero (Olivia) Tristan Rogers (Robert) Kin Shriner (Scott) Rena Sofer (Lois) John J. York (Mac) (*Yeah, I said it.)

Knowing FV, if Easton/Finn is truly leaving, he'll just bring him back later as yet another, useless character.

The increase should have been MUCH bigger than that, which should tell everyone at GH something about the appeal (or lack thereof) of Chase and BLQ.

Frankly, I don't think that kind of story would have worked on MSW. That's more like something you'd see from the Dean Hargrove/Fred Silverman Mystery Factory.

Nah, like I've said before, Alexis really doesn't need any offspring around. And if that doesn't work...? School bus accident, here we come.

You seriously want to kill off Jessica Fletcher, lol?

And I...? Would get rid of all three.

10-20? More like 30-40.

Yep! That's the one! Like I said, it's either really clever or a total cheat, depending on how you look at it, lol. (I, myself, was happy to see MSW still playing with the format by that point.)

Which is why I thought it was so dumb of them to wrap up the story so quickly the following season. And all because David Jacobs was thinking like a parent and not like a storyteller. (For once, I'm on Michael Filerman's side, lol).

Sigh. Word.

Fixed?

It could've been*. Most soap writers seem to have their pet story and character ideas. Bill Bell, for instance, loved telling stories where siblings fall in love with the same person (as was just mentioned in the DAYS thread); and Agnes Nixon clearly loved writing for anti-heroines with single moms, who lived on the wrong side of the tracks and dreamed of having a better life. Maybe the mother/daughter/boyfriend story is Mulcahey's favorite? (Gosh, I wish he had written for KNOTS LANDING back in the day, lol). *I say "could've been," because, well, you know. Perhaps, but it's all up in the air, now that PM is out and Korte, for the time being, is sole HW. Plus, as we know, FV just hates getting rid of anyone on this show, no matter how played out they are, lol.

Victor Newman might be a lot of things, but he's not a monster, lol.

Fine, we'll just say she moved to Tierra del Fuego.

Thanks, @soapfan770! That WAS a fun little read! I can't tell you how much I'm still enjoying MSW reruns on PlutoTV, even if I've seen the entire series at least a half-dozen times through, lol.

Not if they, too, fall victim to the Port Charles Reaper. (Actually, just Finn. Violet could go live with Hayden afterwards).

OR...he's making this up so he can collect some insurance money? I'm just saying!

Well, I'll certainly tune in for one episode, at least. (That is, if this actually makes it to series). But I hope they understand that it's 2024, that these actors and viewers are older and that the storytelling needs to reflect that. I don't want to see Heather Locklear and others pulling the same kind of Chuck Pratt Jr. shenanigans that they did over 30 years ago.

On the other hand, if Ava were killed off/murdered, at least someone finally would be leaving! If death is the only way to thin out this cast, then, by all means, bring on the reaper!

IKR? For me, it's like whenever I attend church, and I'm forced to listen to some six-year-old named Alexus or Mercedes slaughter some song like "Take Me to the King" or "I Believe I Can Fly."

How do I stop SON from notifying me via email every time I log onto the site? Thanks!

LMAO!! No, I get it. It’s just…ugh…damn that Ron Carlivati.
