They really push the actress that plays Joss as some great find who can handle all this special material. She always acts exactly the same whether she's herself or young Carly or whatever.
She really does, she's very, very average. I'm not sure why they're so obsessed with her. She was making some incredibly awkward facial expression in yesterday's episode to boot.

If Nancy wasn't fired for her Viola Davis comment all those years ago, Ingo won't be fired for this. Honestly, he probably should be for many reasons. Jax is useless and he and Nina are snoozeville. Just write them out together.

I forgot that the reply I gave was for the 4/8 episode. The flashbacks in that episode were intended since it was a Carly centric episode, despite the retcon they did.
Did the flashbacks continue in other episodes? Haven’t watched this week yet.
The new retcon flashbacks were intended, yes. The ones from the past few years occurring every minute or so were not. They were used to split the 4/8 episode into two episodes, airing 4/8 and 4/9.

These episodes with flashbacks... yikes. Are they doing this to stretch out the stories or something? It's horrible. Honestly they'd be better off just airing an old episode because this is unwatchable. I can't stand Nelle to begin with so it's especially awful.
Yes, to stretch it out. If anyone's curious, the 4/8/20 episode of #GH had 17 minutes (!) of flashbacks out of total runtime of 35:53, not counting newly created ones. That means about 47% of the episode was flashbacks. This is because the episode was split into two parts, with part two airing today, 4/9/20.

These flashbacks are definitely killing any momentum the show might have had.
They're excruciating. They split yesterday's episode into two and they're using them to fill the gaps.

Right? It's awful. Nelle and Michael are around the same age since Michael was SORASed, but to make sense of this new timeline, I guess Carly still had him in 1997? Michael is not 23 years old, though. Not to mention Carly is about 18 in these 1995 flashbacks. But according to the GH Wiki, Carly should be 21 or 22 in 1995.

Thanks for always compiling these posts, Vee! I'm so glad three of us hold down the fort as the Twin Peaks stans of SON.

Glad to see Jordan & Curtis in the Top 3! Sad Jackie Zeman(Bobbie) only on 1 episodie, same for Jon Lindstrom(Kevin) and Sonya Eddy(Epiphany), and only 3 episodes for Leslie Charleson(Monica), John York(Mac) and Ryan Carnes(Lucas). Where's Kristina Wagner(Felicia), who hasn't been on in months. I think only one episode with her new short haircut.
She had an episode in late fall 2019 with her new haircut, but yes, she's practically disappeared. They don't know what to do with her, or Mac to a lesser degree. It's really sad.

If it leads to Lynn and Lucy getting screentime I'm for it. LOL. But yeah, it was ... interesting. I'm no fan of Valentin either ... and interesting how he has his hands in about everything (murder mystery down the road?).
Of course I thought Deception relaunching would lead to Lucy having at least appearing a bit more, but nope ... lol. It's nice to see her again but hard to invest because they have her disappear for weeks on end (of course she's off-screen on the phone with Sasha or whoever)
It could just be a business partnership but they were a bit flirty IMO.
Right? I assume they are probably hoarding her appearances for when they do more with Maxie, Lucy and Valentin and for the Nurses Ball. But yeah, Lucy sure does get a lot of offscreen phone call time. It's a shame, Lucy is one of my favorite characters. Lynn always commits to the shoddy material.

Did anyone get the sense they were chem testing Lucy and Valentin? I'm no Valentin fan but their scenes were...interesting.

Brook Lynn, Brit and the Sillow twins? You don't need the Sillow twins at all!
For sure! If only Britt would come back permanently and we could probably justify getting rid of Sasha altogether. I think she might be a fairly stronger actress than Katelyn who plays Willow but the Sasha character is a complete waste of space. She has no edge, no personality. She's basically Michael's wallet.

The family said he committed suicide. He was always kind of off. RIP
Can you post proof of that? How awful if true.
EDIT: It's true. He had been struggling with bipolar disorder.

I thought Evan was pretty good yesterday, a lot better than everyone else around him. I hope they don't get rid of him.
He's been okay, nothing special, but I think he's long gone anyway.

If he is gone, they used him to bring on Trina's mom in Brook Kerr. Can't say I'm surprised. I'm sure Trina will end up the biological daughter of Dr. Portia Robinson and Curtis. There was an obvious directive behind Taggert telling Curtis to look after Trina and the animosity between Curtis and Trina seems forced IMO.

I don’t think the kid playing Spencer is worth keeping anyway. When he was younger, I thought he was good and interesting to watch.
Since he’s aged, that’s gone,and I think he’s way too aware that he’s ACTING. His return scenes have been painful, frankly.
I think he has some natural empathy and talent but I do agree that he's more aware that he's acting now. It makes me sad. The same can be said for Brooklyn Rae Silzer as Emma. If I have to be the one to say, I'll bite the bullet and say her last few visits have been very forced and cringey in the acting department.
4 hours ago, AbcNbc247 said:I know. I think there is a slight chance it's a fakeout. The actor has been liking and retweeting a bunch of stuff in that direction so I guess we'll see.
Yes, Genie was fabulous!
What a sad state of affairs we're in when I hate to see Anna Devane coming. I don't know who this is that Finola is playing but it isn't Anna. She's such a whiny, spineless crybaby now, breaking the law at ever return to protecting Parking Lot Peter. And that's when she's not proclaiming Michael Easton's 520th character as the love of her life. If this is all we're ever going to get again with Anna, I'm fine with her leaving permanently.

Since no one put March's thread. I figure i'll put it.
My guesses:
1. I think Dev is going to turn out to be gay. That wasn't the original plan but the fans all picked up something that wasn't there that intrigued the writers. He later said, "How do I answer this without giving it away? Okay. I'm pretty sure Soap Twitter has influenced a story. I think this is more interesting than the original direction." He seemed to hint a bit further at a few other people asking about a gay story/romance.
2. No idea but god help us if Peter is redeemed.
3. I think they're seriously considering recasting/aging Spencer. Someone asked "Is one of these a recast of a character currently on screen?" and he said "Getting warmer..." To someone else asking if any are Nikolas related, he wrote "As for Nikolas, I'm just going to stroke my chin thoughtfully." He's been vocal about wanting Spencer to be recast quite a few times over the last few years.

Who cares about TJ and Molly? I admit I do not watch daily, but even I know they are barely on the show. I like them, but I’m not invested in their relationship.
Also- did anything come of the weirdness between Dev and Cameron? He seems to not be into Joss, and there were scenes where he was weird with Cameron.
It's sad. I felt the actors did a great job on Thursday and Friday and I hope this is the beginning of more material for them. I think there was a better way to reintroduce the characters after so many months off the air. The engagement story could've come a month or two after they reestablished where they're at in their lives and spent some time with them again.
Not yet but we're all still hoping!

According to Real's Twitter, it looks like he is still filming & with Trina's Mom coming on, having Taggert die makes zero sense
I wouldn't say there's definitive proof he's still filming. He's been talking about stuff "coming up" and posting selfies with actors that could have been taken months ago.

On the bright side, I think the previews for Monday kind of told us that he’s going to be ok.
I wouldn't go that far. Maybe for Monday's episode at least.

My interest is waning, I haven't watched the last three days lol ...
Taggert's return is the only engaging story for me right now. He's fit back into the canvas like a hand in a glove.
I'm glad Molly and TJ are getting airtime and story but there was no build up to this proposal and we know nothing of their off-screen lives so it's hard to get invested.

This was my only problem with nuJordan. Briana was miscast because she's too young. But nothing was ever going to be done with the character so Frank didn't feel the need to get it right.
She has a tendency to come across a little emotionally flat but she has come alive in her recent scenes and Jordan and Taggert's storyline is genuinely one of the only ones holding my interest right now.

Yep. Before this casting news I figured Jordan was dead woman walking in this current storyline and now it just confirms my hunch.
I had the same thought as well. Sigh, let's see what happens but it doesn't look good. There were a lot of anvils dropping in her dialogue with TJ the other day, too. Bless her heart because she's clearly trying but Briana Henry just never worked for me as Jordan. Her current storyline is actually pretty engaging but she's just simply too young for the part and I've never been able to look past it.
1 hour ago, Dion said:Despite having a somewhat prominent story with Justus and Tom, I'm not sure whether Felecia Bell's Simone was ever on contract...I don't recall her appearing in the credits unlike Mary Mae and Keesha.
I'm not sure if she was ever on contract but I think you're right about the opening credits. I don't think she was ever in the Faces of the Heart opening.

I would agree with this, though Sydney Mikayla is turning out the more consistent performances of all of them. I think they're all pretty uneven overall, though.
