Is there anyone you would have back under FV's GH 2021?  My only thought is possibly Robin.

Robin definitely. They sort of made a clown out of Tracy the last time she was back, but I’d still want to see JE on the canvas.

No I for sure didn't take it the wrong way lol.  Brenda has been thrown under the bus for Carly and probably would be again.  But we all know Carly is just a girl who built her life on Brenda's sloppy seconds...

Got it. You were just sticking up for your girl! No, she is certainly not stupid. Theoretically she’d be GREAT to have back, but on FV’s GH in 2021? Pass.

Brenda was never stupid.  Someone that made dumb decisions sometimes?  Yes.  But they always portrayed Brenda as at least mildly intelligent lol.  Same with Carly.  She makes stupid choses all the time, but I think she's very savvy still.

I think my comment is being taken the wrong way lol. I don’t think Brenda is stupid. I think that FV’s allegiance is clearly with Carly, and I think the show would try to diminish Brenda in comparison to his precious queen, at least storywise. Carly always has to win. Just not something I’d want to see as a longtime Brenda fan.

TJ/Tajh Bellow is serving body-oddy-oddy today in these pool scenes.

I know the economics are different for GH than the other soaps, but it’s striking to see them with an actual pool set with bountiful extras when Y&R is having Fortune 500 business meetings in hotel lobbies and broom closets.

Hmmm.

This suicide hotline PSA. Disgraceful. Especially after this nonsensical story.

Part of me doesn’t even want VM back because I’m almost certain they’d make Brenda look stupid to prop Queen Carly.

Isn't he though? I mean, JJ annoyed me in his second go-around but at the same time ... you have JJ and Vanessa Marcil out there willing and able (but who knows how long they'd even want to stay so I kinda get the hesitation to reach out) but Frank's so laser focused on Roger Howarth. It's truly bizarre. 

 

Frank is also petty AF and I'm so over it.

He sounds almost Goutmanesque.

JJ gave an interview with SoapCentral not too long ago in which he said he would love to come back, but that the show hasn’t reached out to him. As long as Franco was and now Finn is in the picture, I don’t see Lucky coming back at all 

That’s insane. FV is out of his mind.

JJ seems to be focusing on his music and writing Christian fiction.

I had to find it on youtube, but... yep. Same sh-t, different Roger character. Only difference is he had the really bad blonde hair back then. His acting was every bit as obnoxious and goofy in 2013.

I miss Sean Kanan.

Yep. Just ridiculous. This is all so unnecessary.

That’s a huge live rating for Potomac, all things considered. It’s eclipsing a lot of the other more established franchises. Now *that’s* a cast with chemistry. Gizelle vs. Karen will never get old.

Bershan’s behavior felt phony and production-provoked to me. We all know production interferes, but if you can’t sell the illusion, don’t bother. And if the show feels the need to force drama like that, they’ve already admitted defeat.

The more I see of Eboni, both on the show and off, the more I dislike her.

Leah should never have been on this show. Even Aviva Drescher, who I came to despise, was a much better fit. Hell, Kelly Bensimon, all is forgiven. 

I fear an unnecessary OC-style gutting of NYC, with similar results, and Leah as the Kelly Dodd. Hopefully they’ll be smarter this time.

This show sucks. This tear-soaked $Bill/Justin yellfest is so much cringe. Aaron D. Spears deserves better. 

Glad to see classic TV really making inroads in the streaming era.

I think Curlee would've excelled with the women, Monica, Lucy, Laura, etc. 

She would have been great with all of them and especially Bobbie too. She would have excelled with the Quartermaines and would likely have been intrigued by Justus as a new player within the family. And Simone and Keesha would have been more than just afterthoughts.

Tony’s post-B.J. downward spiral probably would have been handled with a lighter touch (less psycho, maybe more akin to Ed’s trauma after Maureen’s death?)

How would you think a Nancy Curlee head written GH would've been? Which characters would you think she would've succeeded in penning? 

I didn’t know Yoshi was playing Newport. He’s playing Jack Sock today. Yoshi was beating the brakes off Jack the last time they played in Miami, but had to retire with that ACL injury.

Try as they might, and they tried this episode to give us fun and drama (and even “touching moments” with the women rallying around a grieving Eboni and defending Sonja), but this RHONY cast has zero chemistry.

Bershan definitely came to get it poppin, but it felt as forced as Leah’s bullsh!t (and it’s rich that Leah had so much to say about Bershan’s behavior—two peas in a pod). 

For me, NY is the most rewatchable franchise, but I’ve begun skipping reruns this season.

I thought he was really good as Shayne on GL.

Now Lajovic is wearing the Thiem thong.

Where? You gotta bring some receipts when you drop something like that.  

I can’t with this show continuing to shoehorn this obnoxious and mannered actor into core families.
