Contessa Donatella

To me what you are saying has nothing to do with Jill Hurst. And, BTW, as one example my favorite Otalia scenes are the graveyard leading into the gazebo & they were written by Swajeski. I do not know why you bring up Hurst & try to tie my like of her to this one story. But, you have no business making such assumptions about someone else's likes or dislikes. Now let's unpack this. #1 Why do you call it incestuous? Cause it's not. And, it did not come out of the blue any more or less than anything that was written in the modern GL. Its supposed grossness is totally subjective & your thing, not necessarily anyone else's POV. And, last of all, no, of course no one is always good as a writer or anything else.

Well then, if you are correct about this, then, I can tell you 100% Disney has total faith in Frank & he is going absolutely nowhere. Some who tend to know have even suggested that they would shut down the show if they did not have Frank to run it for them. Do you happen to recall that special contract that James Reilly had with Corday/Sony? Well, guess who has that same kind of contract?

I seriously doubt that Bo knows the unfortunate details of Ciara's husband, that she even has said husband & def does not know about their 2 children. Also I am quite sure he is unaware of their imitation of his & Hope's sailing around the world. I imagine he thinks that Shawn & Belle are together. These are the only things I can think of, that you have not.

I love sharing this with you!! My personal theory is that Van realized that enough time had passed with Bridget being the one in charge of Peter's life that she had developed a deep & abiding love for Peter & what a waste it would be to just throw that away. She, somehow was unselfish enough to embrace sharing, not just anyone would have been that unselfish. Van in this regard MUST be considered a very special person, don't you think so? I do.

Okay, you are right about this. Legally, she is def blah blah "by reason of insanity". I see what you mean there.

TPTB wanted to move Michelle into the realm of being a sexual creature rather than still being a little girl. As a Rachel Minor fan I resented this. To me they had plenty of time to make Rachel a sexual creature. Later. Now about Van & Bridget sharing custody of Peter. This to me was one of Van's finest hours. As it shook out with the judge Van was going to have full custody of Peter, leaving Bridget out in the cold. BUT, Van, in a moment of absolute soap brilliance hit upon this idea of sharing custody. Her suggestion of this compromise was met with acceptance & even appreciation on all sides! Hip Hip Hooray for Vanessa.

Bo probably knows that Claire who works with or for Theo is in South Africa. You might recall that she was first there a very long time ago, then she was back in Salem but did not move back just there for a very long visit after which she returned to her home in South Africa. Also likely knows about Chelsea, Carrie, Max & Frankie, then everything comes into doubt, I would say.

No, it looked nothing like that.

Only because they had SORASed her & hadn't yet with Bill.

I love Kristina but she is deep in a world of trouble & she is right in saying that recently she was some better. We know it was the guilt driving her to be more like everyone else. Now there are literally no good alternatives for her

No, I don't think so. Frankly, it doesn't look like a realistic image of anything so I thought it must be symbolic.

Oh my, total confusion on my part, LOL!!

Not a fan, okay I see.!! We all know what that feels like - unfortunately!!!

Yes, he always was.

No context? Not even time period? My best guess would be a bad rendition of Curtis, Billie's father & sometime torturer.

Wait, let me double back with a question for you ... In terms of what you truly wish were going to happen, what, specifically, is important to you? Just that MB & Sonny be gone from the show/doesn't matter how. Sonny dead daid. Sonny fakes his death & with or without Brenda settles on some island hideaway. Sonny loses the referendum ballot badly. Sonny has more visions with dead people including Morgan, Lenny from Nixon Falls, a 10 year old Adela Irene, Sam McCall. (Yes, it's multiple choice but you have the option to write in your own. You can disregard my next post. And, yes, I got my hopes up about a year and a half ago. I get it.

Some of us, fans of GH I mean, are convinced that MB is in fact leaving. I take it you are not one. Me, personally, current theory is that he fakes his death, but we'll see, and, yes, of course, this could be Lucy with Charlie Brown & the football.

It does give Brad a place on the canvas again. It was not something I imagined, but it works quite well. Sometimes these writers come up with unusual, clever things.

I know that you know that I know she was one of the co-HWs at that time. I don't know if you know that I like her, but I do. However, I did not have a problem with Beth having Peyton with Alan.

Mal Young was EP first & then the HW credit was added? Just as soon as you say you've never heard of anything happening, bingo, someone else knows of an instance!! I swear I love how dynamic soap opera 411 is!!! Bring it on & thanks. Remind me, was he at Y&R or GH?

Yes, as I posted elsewhere. This was an error on my part. I was speaking of VW anniversary. I misread. So sorry.

I'm sorry I was speaking of VW anniversary. Obviously I misread. My error.

Not what you asked for but has some of it in it.

This is not what you're asking for but it has some of it in it, Flashback

Whose opinion? Carolyn Hinsey?
