As has been said before, an Alan/Hope/Buzz triangle, with RM and Justin Deas reuniting from their Santa Barbara days, seems like an obvious idea, as GL had positioned Buzz and Alan as adversaries. I wonder if GL ever reached out to Robin to reprise her role.

I wonder how CW might fare as Susan.

One of the few actresses I believe could do it. VR is pretty irreplaceable, though. Same as Constance Towers with Bev’s Alex on GL. They’d be admirable, watchable substitutes but could only ever be that.

It was terrifying. That was around the time I had started really watching GH (with my beloved GL losing its way), and I couldn’t imagine a soap subjecting its elderly patriarch/matriarch to such brutality. It was kind of traumatizing seeing it as a kid. It was like seeing your grandparents beaten. I do believe this was John Beradino’s last big story before his passing a few years later. At least I don’t remember another one after this.

Renee Jones as Olivia on Y&R- of all the potential candidates for a recast (like maybe Amelia Marshall), RJ comes closest to nailing the “easy sweetness with a hysterical edge” contrast that TLW does. Lane Davies as Jack Abbott on Y&R - a role swap between him and Terry Lester, he’d have been closer to Lester’s wounded Lothario than Bergman’s more effete matinee idol.

Ryan savagely beating Steve and Audrey on GH.

LOL at pipsqueak Michael trying to be so big and bad:

He needs a porch for his swing, @Taoboi.

So true. Their 2000s theme was like a bad, bland blend of the 1975-1993 theme and FOTH. And the visuals were so incoherent. Only AMC had a decent one of all the ABC soaps in the Frons era.

I wish this show really delved into how broken and stunted as adults Steffy and Thomas are to be that invested in their parents’ relationships. So much time is wasted in all the repetition. They need Patrick Mulcahey on staff again.

As much as she drives me nuts, I’d miss Candiace if she left. She needs to take things down by several notches, but I think she adds a lot to Potomac.

I guess Sally really put it on Adam. Their scenes are decently watchable in an otherwise barren wasteland.

It was very Tyler Perry “Who’s on first?” style.

Pedro in Brazil 🇧🇷

It’s been pulled from ABC (after next week’s episode). It will finish the season on Hulu.

These layers should absolutely be played, but Bradley only does anvil drops.

And another thing, the dialogue is SO repetitive. Hope being more specific would at least offer some variation. We didn’t need three or four scenes of Steffy saying the same thing today, which is also the same thing she’s been saying for more than a week.
