Contessa Donatella

I confess for a moment I was terrified that Carly was going to say ILY to Sonny & Jason was gonna have to hear it. I should have had more faith in PM/EK!!!
Face it. When push comes to shove, Carly does the humane thing to do, whether it's Ava  when she was amost killed or Sonny after he almost killed Dex. Jason called her for a reason. The most important thing is that Jason stayed right there & Carly did not give of herself.
Their positioning of Kristina is now shown to have been dramatic perfection. 10 out of 10. And, of course Kate is hitting it all squarely out of the ballpark!!!

IF you have the right actor…which GH does not, lol.

I apologize to everyone for coming across as bitter, but I’m still pissed about PM.  And poor Dan O’Connor!  It’s one thing for you and your Co-HW to be fired because your writing’s no good, but when your Co-head’s hired back and you’re not…?  I’m hoping they asked Dan back, too, and he just said no.  Otherwise, it just makes you look REALLY bad.

I know that when they hired Chris back they were under the impression that Dan was going to sue the show so because of that there was no chance in hell of them making a similar offer to Dan. I have zero idea if he actually did file a lawsuit.

I’m not sure why Gregory needed this montage, as if he had been a vital part of this show for decades. I honestly couldn’t care any less if this character is dead. 
 

 

Well, it is Sweeps & it was a well done death montage. I have nothing going on in real caring about Gregory but I can appreciate a well done dramatic production number.

What spiral though post-Nixon Falls though? Sonny was healthy once he got his memory back, but chose to remain with Nina because MB wanted to work more with CW and no other reason. 

Forget BTS for a moment. Think about how Sonny treated Carly, Michael, ... At the time he was lying & recently he lied again about what happened to his marriage to Carly. Yes, he got his memory back but he behaved as a liar & a cheat.

The awful thing about this Sonny story? It’s all going to be blamed on his meds being tampered in the end, never mind the fact this who he really is, and Sonny will go on as he always has. 
 

Mark my words, both Anna and Laura will be kissing his ass again by September. 

Yabbut this spiral really began with Nixon Falls.

Violet is a prime example why kids need to be seen and not heard on these shows…

Well, clearly they wanted to recreate a precocious child like young Robin & young Emma & they totally screwed up!!!

There are 50 images, not 49. Cody is there.

Dom Zamprogna isn't in the photoshoot but he was out of town on the day of the photoshoot and he's still with the show.  Tristan Rogers tweeted on May 13 that he's still at GH.

@Aragorn Sasha is definitely there. 

Interesting that Dom is in new Key Art but not an individual picture.

These photos were taken back in March. It was noted then that there was no new image taken for Spencer, and that convinced people that NAC wasn't coming back. NAC was then dropped from the credits at the end of March.

We now have images for Kristina, Molly, Blaze, and Natalia to use in the opening. We also have images for Jagger, Heather, Lois, Danny, and James.

There are 49 images total. Is any character not pictured in danger?

Leo, no danger

Violet, geeze is hope alive?

Comet, Prolly stuck with the horse

Why is Finn here? Possibly just timing.

Terri, Yuri, Amy, ....

Well I was replying to Khan's suggestion that both Finn and Chase die together in an auto accident.

So if Chase dies, then don't have Brook Lynn (as Violet's aunt by marriage) take in Violet.
And/or don't have Tracy take in Violet to the Quartermaine clan as a gesture to honor Gregory.

Just let Hayden return and take Violet offscreen before anything happens to Finn or Chase.

The viewers don't need Violet on our screens.  And we don't need another story of a child dying tragically.  So let Hayden take Violet far away!

I am FOR this! I couldn't be more FOR anything if I tried. And, also, Soap Jesus, do not let Frank KEEP Hayden around. That is NOT the idea.

Please don't leave Violet to be raised by Elizabeth or the Quartermaines!

What I keep hearing, ARGH, is that Finn & Liz are gonna do a quickie wedding & then he is gonna head out for inpatient rehab & Violet will join Liz's mob. I hope this is just fans talking out their pieholes!!!! I do not want this to be so. (I did not put this inside spoiler space cuz I don't think it is.)

Well, I stand corrected on the religious aspects,

Okay, but you were not wrong. Long before there was any ChaLynn romance, Amanda Setton was living by a modesty code that comes from her being an observant Orthodox Jew. So you most likely heard about the religious aspect long before they gave that interview which talks about things in a different way. I'm sure we all recall that her clothes were different from way back. I'm just sayin' is all.

new individual cast photos

And, good luck, I just got Aiden 1 & Aiden 2 & Rocco confused. AGAIN!!! I am apparently helpless when it comes to how much these 3 boys look alike. And, no, only one of the Aidens is included.

They both can "dip out" or leave basically.

Thnks so very much! Now I can add this to my slam vocabulary!!! 

I'm not sure this qualifies as spoiler material. But, we'll just see. All it is, is that the new cast photos are finally UP!! On the usual site, ABC press, Gallery, dated 5-20-24. Included Blaze, Natalia, Brennan, Cates of course, Lois, many but not all of the kids, ... James, Donna, Jake, an Aiden, Danny, ... Here's just a few, sampling, all posed similarly. Now, where the heck should I have posted this news?

The above post by Donna for dailies week of May 20
agrees with listings from zap2it.com and soapoperanews.net.

Thanks, Jane, this is good to know. This means it is likely so, when she says they are "official". I will be paying attention to her Fri. afternoon posts from now on. She gets them really seemingly FAST.

Fyi, soapoperanews.net has these episode numbers:

..

Wednesday, May 22 - Episode #15472A

...

Note the "A" for Wed. May 22, perhaps that's an insert episode?
 

I am interested in these inserts. I wonder what & why they are doing this sorta often. So, if I catch your drift, you're thinking A is for Added.

They can both dip. Chase is boring as hell anyway.

What does it mean in this context "to dip"? I am not familiar with this, what I assume to be, a great slap & I think I might need to use it!!!

25 minutes ago, John said:

I believe it was something that both Amanda and Josh talked about. They said since having kids, they decided they want to do naked love scenes anymore. They still kiss and some are quite passionate.

 

Now to BTS

GH needs a new EP

How about promoting Michelle Henry and/or Mary Kelly Weir

Or is Ginger Smith still up to being an EP of another daily Drama. She was EP of AMC with Prospect park

Amanda was living by a modesty code long before they paired her with JS. And it did have a religious basis. 

Great segue. A woman would be a good idea. I'd personally like Wendy Riche but could also get up a head of steam for Shelley Curtis. I don't know the people you mention. Is experience with PP an asset? 

Do you recall that Shannon Peace had gone quiet & people hoped someone had made her see the error in what she was doing if she wants to work in this town again? Apparently not. She's posting again.

And Belle. My girl was mouthy as hell as a teen not in the same vain as Sami & Holly where Marlena & Nicole are justified in knocking them into next week but she had mouth.

But you know who didn't play that [!@#$%^&*]? Bo. I remember him grabbing Shawn up a couple times especially in the church during the JT/Issac story. He grabbed him up by the collar of his shirt like I raised your ass the last thing you're going to do is disrespect me & your mamma.

I always thought Marlena had the Black mamma vibe in her based on that scene with Sami after she was exposed at her almost wedding to The Human dumb bell that was Austin. Sami was salty and jealous of Carrie marrying Austin and Marlena being supportive of them. She finally pushed Marlena to far that was the 2nd crack in the jaw Sami deserved. Mar Mar always came across as I brought you into this world and I will take your ass out to. I got to credit to Dee Hall cause she has this firey commanding force onscreen that makes me believe she is that type of mamma.

I LOVE your take on this!!! Good point bringing Belle into it.

On the one hand, I totally respect Setton's religious convictions.  But, on the other hand, if she's not comfortable anymore playing love scenes or wearing clothes that show off more than her wrists and ankles, then maybe a job on a daytime soap opera is not for her.  And I say that as someone who is a devout Christian.

Personally, I think that if you aren't comfortable doing love scenes, then your character (if you have a job) should not be eligible in any way for a romantic pairing. The modesty issues having to do with clothes do not bother me. Not being able to simulate love making is an issue.

It honestly looks like LW and others have been wearing shít from home more and more. It looks like civilian clothes. It has not been flattering on Laura onscreen, as she is still a beautiful woman. And don't get me started on Setton's standard wardrobe or her Women Talking bridal party.

And anyone who knows OLTL as well as I did knows that Diane, Laura, occasional Guest Star Nora/Hillary B. Smith and now apparently Nina and Ava are sometimes swapping out old jackets that Viki used to wear. Viki!!

Funny. LW & the GH Costume Designer are literally best friends. He dresses everyone with special love & attention but especially Laura. He dressed her for the Stephen A. Smith event 2 weeks ago. Me, I thought the wedding was very special with the florals & the pastels & a very pleasing palette. Just last week on TwiX Alan Locher invoked the memory of the wedding of Cassie to Prince Richard & I pulled a 50 second clip of just the "I Do's". LW totally looked like a princess right out of a fairy tale.
