To this day, I don't understand why "Coach" appealed to so many. Neither the cast nor the writing was ever funny.

LOL!! "This 'Medical Minute' has been brought to you by your good friends at Procter & Gamble, who remind you to join us tomorrow and every weekday for the continuing story of 'ANOTHER WORLD'."

I agree. Fortunately, I thought she played off David O'Brien (Steve) rather well, so that helped me make the transition. I mean, I hate to imagine how much worse it might've been had she and DOB had no chemistry whatsoever.

I won't argue with you there, lol!

It's just that John and whoever else never digs up anything that is new and surprising and different about him. It's always, "John Black was once a very bad person," as if we hadn't learned that already! Why not dig up a long-forgotten wife and kids, or a sibling or half-sibling, who remembers him before he turned into Robo Cyborg Killer? Hell, at this point, I'll even take a secret past as one of the Von Trapp kids in the original stage production of "The Sound of Music"!

Knowing Frank, he probably hired Patrick J. Gibbons to do it, lol.

Yeah, that story's becoming a real struggle for me, too, lol. Then again, I'm just tired of this show rehashing John's past whenever they don't know what else to do with him. At this point, he could be unmasked as the Zodiac Killer and I would not care.

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.
