Exactly! Patrick Mulcahey can't arrive not a moment too soon.

Thank you. I mean, if I really wanted to get serious about the photo, I could, for example, go on about how all the POC have been shoved to the background (or, in Tabyana Ali's case, to the outskirts of L.A.).

That's why it's so difficult for me to take him seriously on B&B. It's one thing when, say, Erika Slezak pitches for Sunsweet Prunes, but Tanner's literally saying, "Emu Beebu" on television!

The same thing everyone else wins when they spend more than 30 seconds talking about this bland ass show: nothing. Patrick Mulcahey, come on down, you're the next HW to try and spin gold on FRANK VALENTINI'S GENERAL HOSPITAL! At the very least, GF should be in the center of the photo w/ JE and FH. But I guess Genie should be used to this sort of treatment by the higher-ups by now. Of course, if Donnell Turner had had his druthers, he'd been snuggling next to Genie in the photo, instead of toiling away in the fields back there with the other "field negroes."

Well, bibberty my liberty!

They look like the co-stars in a remake of "The Incredible Two-Headed Transplant."

They're probably laughing at Maurice, who's grimacing like a middle-aged man with serious hemorrhoidal issues.

It's like looking at "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Soap Opera," isn't it?

She must be in the Federal Witness Protection Program or something. Meanwhile, Cameron Mathison looks ready to introduce the next contestant. And Kelly Monaco looks...distracted...? Please, I don't want to see her on the show, much less in that photo! Seriously, this is Frank Valentini's GH in a nutshell: not the greatest of efforts, but the best they could do in a pinch. LOL!! You just know Jane Elliot told them to [!@#$%^&*] off with that drugstore champagne right before the photo was taken. ("If you want me to hold up a glass of champagne to the camera, it better be Dom Perignon in that glass or don't even bother with me!")

Is there a reason why Maura West is wearing a red blazer in this photo? And poor Kin Shriner might as well be toasting from the parking lot.

Since when did Jason Thompson start dressing like Jeff Goldblum in those apartments.com commercials?

Not mine! I always thought he (and Cari Shayne) stunk up the joint, lol! It seems like C&D did a lot of that during their time at the show.

Me neither. She might not have been as visionary as Douglas Marland or Agnes Nixon, but I didn't think she was a total hack either. I'd probably put her in the same category as Lorraine Broderick and the Cullitons.

It might be due more to the writing, but I found Jada Rowland's take on Carolee to be more conventional, for lack of a better word. Not that I thought JR was terrible in the role; she just wasn't as quirky.

I'm just glad no one decided to bring that particular opening into the late '90's. The last thing we needed was a '90's boy band version of "(You Take Me Away to) Another World."

There's a part of me that wonders if Frank Valentini actually wanted ASJ to come back as Jagger, but the network said nah, so they had to scramble and we're getting Bed, Bath and Beyond Jagger as a result.

I second it.

I don't mind a set refresh either, but I do worry that we're about to witness yet another Wayfair invasion.

Thanks, @slick jones!

Did Lindsay's dad, Warren Frost, ever appear on ATWT? Because, for some reason, I'm thinking he did, but I'm not 100% sure.

There's a reason why I've posted that catfight as often as I have on this board. And I'm not even a GENERATIONS fan. I have to agree with Sally Sussman, though: the reason why Doreen and Maya's catfight worked so well, and why so many others that followed didn't, was because of how much the writers built toward it. In fact, you could say the same thing about the original catfight between DYNASTY's Alexis and Krystle: in both cases, it worked, because the writers put IN the work. I'm not gonna poo-pooh the idea of a GENERATIONS revival. All I'm gonna do is quote Mama Khan: "If you're gonna do something, do it right." Up the production values; get fresh, young talent of color working on both sides of the camera; and for God's sake, create an opening sequence that doesn't suck, lol. Thank you, @Vee, for sharing that article - and thank you, @dc11786, as well, for sharing with us all that interesting stuff about the show's original bible. I think it's a shame that a lot of that stuff didn't make it to air, because it actually sounds really good!

Me, too! Especially when all the franchises follow the exact same formula, right down to character types. You literally could take all the NCISes, past and present, blend them into one show, and no one would be any wiser. Honestly, Tony and Ziva (and their daughter) settling down and running a cozy b&b in the French countryside would be more exciting to watch at this point.

She could join the cast of DAYS as the meant-to-be-created-but-never-was Vanessa DiMera.

Wait, what!? She gave birth to her OUTSIDE?? Ugh, this [!@#$%^&*] show, lol. For me, the fact that Spinelli's first name is "Damien" says it all.

So, how did the cat poop cause Sam to go mental, exactly? Did she unknowingly ingest it? Was it just hanging around the house and she inhaled the fumes?
