General Hospital: June 2023 Discussion Thread
The biggest tragedy of losing Guza was the dismantling of that writers room and their consistency when it came to character voices and dynamics. Whenever I tune back in now the way Carly interacts with and is pleasantly received by so many characters is so jarring for me. I do wonder how Laura Wright feels about it because she used to relish in playing Carly’s unreserved vitriol.

Y&R June 2023 Discussion Thread
Lanier is fine but I miss Hunter King as well. A lot of the material AL is struggling with currently HK would’ve had an easier time playing, she could knock out those bratty whiny freakout moments with little effort. AL’s Summer should be written as icier and more indignant.

Y&R May 2023 Discussion Thread
Noah and Kyle should be carrying on the Newman vs Abbot legacy, ridiculous he isn’t on canvas and that we wasted so many years with RA in the role. Allie should have came on looking for vengeance and stirring the pot, they killed Keemo for no damn reason. I didn’t like the original Cameron story when it aired and this one seems like its going to be an uneventful speed rush.

Y&R May 2023 Discussion Thread
I gotta say I really dig Tucker and Ashley together. The show is merely background noise until I see them on, ED and TSJ are very fun cause they’re playing with their chemistry instead of doing the run of the meal standard speed thru soap acting.

DAYS Fave Joins GH Cast in Recast Role!
So she’s just gonna be Molly’s surrogate, boring

DAYS Fave Joins GH Cast in Recast Role!
She would’ve been a better Lulu recast. I’ve always liked LA but its clear they were never going to invest in her and the first born daughter of Sonny and Alexis should be a series lead.

YR new intro!
I despise the color scheme (the white red and gold used for the new mid show bumpers is much better) and the font choice for the actor names is horrible but I love everything else about it. I noticed as they’ve been modifying it daily the shot choices for the actors have gotten more dramatic and sleek which is good. I also like how they fade the actors in and out instead of just throwing a bunch of random shots at the screen like the last opening. Makes me miss editing

Y&R: Tony Morina accused of sexual harassment. Sony being sued.
What a creep, hopefully we get a good replacement cause the show stinks

Where is Emma? Carly and Robin's daughters on canvas together practically writes itself

Y&R Actors Out?
I like them but they've failed at positioning these two as the young leads due to clunky boring writing. The Lola triangle was a fail and so is this Tara Ashland nonsense.

YR: Temp recast
I'd be here for this just for the fact we could have 5 black women on the show at once
-
YR: Younger character recast
This bullying story only worked because of Alyvia so I'm sorry to see her go but she's much too good an actress to stick around for this show.

DAYS/DOOL: Another Horton Exits Salem
I missed most of the beginning of her run but I really love her and Xander together so I'm sad. They'll probably swap her out for another round of Melanie if the actress ain't busy

Y&R March 2021 Discussion Thread
Mishael Morgan lowered her stock value not wanting to come back as Hilary. I haven't cared about anything going on with Amanda long enough to sit through more than a few weeks before tuning out again

Her exit doesn't make sense and reeks of Ken Corday

Y&R February 2021 Discussion Thread
What does she do besides sit behind the hotel counter attempting to be snarky or making cringe worthy sex innuendo with Morrow? 😂 The Stafford talent egg is scrambled and not in a nice fluffy yellow way. The writers aren't giving her much and she isn't playing anything interesting with it either I don't care what her episode counts look like.

Y&R February 2021 Discussion Thread
Part of her is definitely only there for the check but I also think she is dried up acting wise. Its obvious this production regime has realized this as well which is why she isn't being written for as a lead anymore like she was when she first returned. Should've kept Tognoni but 🙄

Y&R February 2021 Discussion Thread
Yeah out of all of JG's 2013 pets Jessica Collins is the only one I wanted back. As far as Dylan goes I think they've pretty much rectoned him out of existence but I loved him and Sharon together. I'd accept a recast with a Jason Faunt type actor

Sasha Calle Cast as New Supergirl
They have wasted her in such a boring role, happy she got a big gig

Y&R February 2021 Discussion Thread
They are super antiquated and frankly racist when it comes to not only ad sponsors but media coverage as well. Never made any sense to me how during the height of Hevon with the rabbit fan base they managed to grab they never thought to seek out coverage in black online media outlets.

Melrose Place
Yeah I associate Peter with the downfall of the show. A completely unlikable scoundrel and he and Frank South's rise BTS is when the show becomes less grounded and more like one long Skinemax series minus the nudity where nothing meaningful happens outside of the characters being trainwrecks and screwing each other literally and figuratively. There is no heart outside of what the cast brought and once the OGs started leaving that was lost completely.

YR: You're Fired! Actor out ...
Tyler, the cop played by Diego from GH, the other cop played by Joey from OLTL, Austin, Stitch, the scammer who worked at Newman, Scott, Arturo and now Chance. I feel like I'm missing somebody too lol, I think she was still with Carmine when she first started and they teased Abby and Devon for a second til the height difference shut that down I liked when she was feuding with Victoria over Newman and I think she did good work at the end of the marriage with Stitch. Always thought she was too old and not dynamic enough to be Ashley and Victor's daughter tho. The character was set for failure the moment MAB recast the little girl who played her for years and they turned her into Paris Hilton 7 years too late to be interesting

YR: You're Fired! Actor out ...
Good riddance but if they really aren't recasting which they definitely should..this will be MO's 9th fail pairing.
