Okay, that really works for me. Y'all don't like that time period, remind me why? And, thanks for the reply.

When I think of Anne Heche beginning, July 1987. Then how long till Felicia's birthday party? That was Anna's first week back. Felicia had hair extensions. The party was this big deal with a Hall of Mirrors & Derek being the Strong man & Nicole shot Jason Frame. It just kept on being good. Who was writing?

Michael looks better to me. Chad gained weight when his wife had a baby but he looks like he's dropped back a size or two now. Totally agree about a haircut for Cates.

I looked. Didn't find it.

Well, they are doing clean up but it's possible for them to start new things, too. And, there's no guarantee that all of the fans are gonna like all of whatever new they introduce. Just because you don't like the idea of Anna putting Sexy Dexy on at the PCPD (which I can certainly see people questioning) doesn't mean you're not gonna like everything new they do. One new story can't be made into a trend. So far they've done Marshall, inherited, and Heather, inherited, and now this. I kinda feel like Anna is hiding him in plain sight & just daring Sonny to touch him. It's certainly different.

We don't know that they won't have diversity as a part of the new team. But, in a way I think they do miss the boat on optics all over the place. The visual at Spencer's Memorial. Not having Trina on at all for 3 weeks. White people who could & do have opportunities to offer her condolences, don't. So, I definitely think the issue of optics is an issue. But I think it's worse than just optics. Tell my why Laura hasn't offered Trina condolences. I honestly don't think Frank & gang are racists but some stuff looks like they are. Someone told me they thought they are unintentionally racists. Scratching my head there, not sure what that means.

I didn't find anything off in either day of Joss & Trina. Thank God they are writing her grief. Being numb, stuffing her anger for weeks. It was natural for her to take it out on her safest person. Deep down she knows Joss will forgive her. To me she definitely was being a bitch, which she is entitled to be. Anger is a part of grief. Mutual apologies & hugging it out was perfect. Day 9 Mulcahey/Korte So today was weird. It was like we went back to the previous style with shorter scenes & more cuts back & forth instead of the longer scenes we've been having. Loved the fight between the kids. Hated Sam going all stereotypical. She'd have died if she'd seen Danny's face when she said he can never see Jason again. There's no way he's going to live by that new law. That he can never see his father again. Sexy Dexy is gonna be a cop?!! Do cops get time off specifically to have their hair done? But, Anna was quite enthused. It's like she's hiding him in plain sight & just daring Sonny to touch him. Team Jason: Jason, Carly, Danny, Michael, Willow, Spinelli & Maxie still p*, Joss, Brook Lynn, Anna, +Molly Team Anti-Jason: Sam, Cates, Alexis, Sonny, Drew, p* Lois & Nina, Trina, Chase, Jake, p*Ava, +Kristina Conflicted: No One PWAgendas: no chg.

Is this a typo or an autocorrect for Douglas Marland? Although he quit GH over "seduction". And, something happened between him & Agnes Nixon at Loving. She even removed his co-Creator credit. GL was over Potter firing Jane Elliot midway of the 3 Carries story. Topical to now he was Patrick Mulcahey's mentor.

I've been bitching & whining about him needing a haircut since Day 1! But, besides that I have no problem with him as John Jacob Whatever ...

I knew that. Personally I thought it was interesting that MSN/Bing was carrying it.

SHOCKER: General Hospital Fires Sole Black Breakdown Writer Daytime Confidential https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/shocker-general-hospital-fires-sole-black-breakdown-writer/ar-BB1kA7z9 Not really any new information. Just a slightly amazing headline. Well, thanks very much for that. I was told to go & read what people at Daytime Dish have been saying. Going by them I was right more than anyone else ... uh, I think they're saying ... ever ... but that just seems too weird.

Yes, I was confused, too. Carolyn Culliton once said to me that at the end of AW she was not in the writer's room because she was a Script Writer. So, from these two things do we perhaps deduce that everyone BUT script writers is in the writer's room? And, if so, I wonder why that would be? And, if that is so, what in the hell kind of odd technicality is that?! And, https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/shocker-general-hospital-fires-sole-black-breakdown-writer/ar-BB1kA7z9 Not really any more information but, wow, what a headline SHOCKER: General Hospital Fires Sole Black Breakdown Writer

I don't know what you mean. But, as occupations go, I believe that soap opera writers get fired quite a lot. If this is not relative to your point, sorry.

And, I must agree! I mean, not then immediately turning to Carmen Duncan was this classic "this person or NO ONE ELSE" mistake! (Ellen Wheeler: Peter Simon. Frank Valentini: Julie Berman & JJ.)

Oops. I thought I read Shannon say she was the only POC. Must have misread. Thanks. Yes, what I read actually says "only female black breakdown writer" which is different from what I thought I read. Mea culpa.

About Optics if any more writers are fired, they'll be white & then the Optics won't look the way they do tonight. Please do not think I am wishing firing on anyone. Just may be what it may be.

Understood. No one knew we might have to deal with Covid on & on. If it had not been overturned I just bet Disney would have it in place, today. Big corporations are not very nimble. If something is on the books, tends to stay there, unless challenged. And, it would have been challenged. So, ...

About the 2-day finale I have gone all the way around the world on it. I began explaining why the gorilla was an homage. And defending Goutman because of things he had supposedly wanted to do & was denied. Now I don't defend Goutman much. Beverlee to me was inspired. It wasn't his fault she could not. And, the device with the guests wishing the new couple well on the video recorder also inspired. But, I am aware of its reputation as one of the worst finales in all of daytime. Deserved or not, ... I guess I both hate it & love it.

I would say yes. Today on GH, Day 8 of PM/EK Another Tuesday that seemed like a Friday show! Our new HWs are spoiling us rotten! So much happened. But the best of it was Anna & Jason in Interrogation Rm 1. Anna moved from Conflicted Status to Team Jason! Jason was truthful & told more than before even. He didn't know Cates was Stone's brother. Anna had to tell him Britt died. Steve Burton did a 5 point reaction using only facial expression & upper body posture. (He's been hiding acting ability!) Now it's only Epiphany's death, that's left. Team Jason: Jason, Carly, Danny, Micheal, Willow, Spinelli & Maxie still presumed, Joss, Brook Lynn, +Anna Team Anti-Jason: Sam, Cates, Alexis, Sonny, Drew, presumed Lois & Nina, Trina, Chase, Jake, +presumed Ava Conflicted: Kristina & Molly PWAgendas: Drew, Sam, Sonny, Cates

She & I are thinking about doing a stand-up routine where we talk at the same time & half say the same words & half different, very earnestly & we have to get louder & louder because of the other one. At the end we turn to each other & say, "You lousy slut, who did you have to sleep with to get this job?" Love the version of Sonny PM/Korte are showing us. Love the way Ava is playing Sonny. Love that Sonny's drinking is a sign for us to see that he is on a slippery slope.

Oh, no, Violet is a monster. Dan & Chris thought they'd make her precocious (??) & boy did they ever screw up! Violet lisps & writes songs & sings them to us & inserts herself into grown-ups' business, No one likes Violet. Rachel, that kid is cool.
