Yeah, chemistry is lightning in a bottle, and NC and SM were special. You know it when you see it. The next actress might be perfectly capable, but it would be like recasting, I dunno, Marcy Walker’s Eden on SB and expecting her replacement to have that rare connection with A Martinez. It’s a tall order.

Well, that sucks, but we called it in that BI thread (if it was indeed her they were talking about). Hopefully GH’s casting team recognizes they need a powerhouse for this role and not someone who has to learn on the job. SM set a high bar. And her chemistry with NC was a once-in-a-generation thing IMO. Just a bummer.

This guy is 🔥.

Oh god why. The taste level of GH’s writers/producers continues to be in the gutter. Maxie and Austin should have been 86’d when their initial chem tests failed.

Oof why a good-looking man would have such goofy facial hair…

No, I know. But wooden actor + clunky dialogue is a recipe for disaster.

Joy took a little bit of a spill on today’s episode.

Her dialogue sucks too. My “convalescence”… so unnatural.

NuJordan is wooden. Maybe she’s having early jitters, but man. When you make Briana Nicole Henry look animated…

The Bell soaps, both boring in their own unique ways.

Not sure if this was shared, but Karla Mosley (GL, B&B) co-hosts a podcast about artists and mental health. A little over a year ago, she had her longtime friend Bobby Steggert (ex-Sam, AMC) on as a guest. He has retired from acting and is now a therapist. He has a lot of great insights:

Good for them for saving their pennies. I do like the idea of her playing a cold bitch (even colder than Gina), like she did on Melrose Place.

I like Julie Pinson, but I wish some soap would snap her up for good so she wouldn’t always be floating around as a potential recast lol.

It’s an absolute FU. I see we’re in good company with our irritation across social media. We’ll see what happens, but there’s zero reason to be optimistic, given the state of the show currently.
