Lauren Woodland (ex-Brittney, Y&R)! I don't know if this is true, but I read at this other site that she was cast as Courtney and that her first airdate is Jan 15th!

I have seen a few episodes of GH lately and I really don't think I can see Lauren as Courtney... Hmm..

I don't like Lauren Woodland's acting ability at all. I hope that Erin Hershey Presley will be the new Courtney. GH is on a roll now and I hope they can keep it up. Lauren Woodland would be a terrible recast.

Presley would have made the better Courtney. I can't see Lauren Woodland and Laura Wright being friends. With their 10 year age gap.

Woodland would still have been my pick for the Greenlee recast.

Even though GH totally sucks and I would rather see Hershey Presley on another soap, I have to admit that she WOULD be a great replacment for ALW as Courtney.

Lauren Woodland is overrated, she is just ok in my books.

(1) What site did you get this info from Manny?

(2) Lauren Woodland is actually 1 year OLDER than Alicia Leigh Willis. Lauren is 28 (I'm so tired of people saying she's younger, maybe she played younger on Y&R, but she isn't), Alicia is 27. FYI, Erin Hershey Presley is 29.

(3) Since Lauren is 28, she's only 7 years younger than Laura Wright(Carly), who's 35, which makes her 8 years older than current Courtney, Alicia Leigh. Prior Carly's Jennifer Bransford, 37 and Tamara Braun, 34, were also older than Alicia Leigh. What's the deal, you can have friends older or younger than yourself. Some of my friends are over 10 years younger than I am.

I've actually seen it at some site, whose name escapes me at the moment, while I was looking for some soap stuff, but they've quoted this from SoapZone... ;)

I hope Woodland gets it, she's hot and I do think when given decent work that she can act. I only hope that they give Courtney a backbone, she does not play whiny shrew well.

I'm glad Erin Hershey Presley didn't get it. As much as I loved Port Charles, I really couldn't stand her. She's really hot, but Allison annoyed the hell out of me. Then again, so did Rafe, but I looooooooove Brian Gaskill on ATWT...

Why? She's such a good actress and she's going to play such a horrible character. There's a chance she could make me like Courtney.

She's 1000x better an actress than ALW.

If Lauren Woodland was actually cast.....I now have a free hour in my daytime TV watching. She's been awful the entire time she was on Y&R. Maybe she can become a stripper & pole dancer on GH too!

Been there done that.

If true this casting news is horrendous: ALW is at least very sexy and has some acting abilities whereas Lauren Woodland would be the final death nail for the character of Courtney and probably GH as a whole. Both LW and Natalia Livingston in frontburner storylines - it couldn't get any worse!!!

      -- I love a good build, and the show has made me look forward to Winterfest. But some things seem so forced.  -- For example, the Vernon/Sharon meetups. GMAB. It's so obvious what this is and they're playing it too hard for too long.  I think one purpose is to make Leslie look like a fool, but it's hard to take. Is the tour over for Sharon? Does she sit in the hotel room all day long waiting for Vernon? Is he paying her bills? It's dumb.  -- Leslie is an awful human. I don't think she gives a rat's ass about Peaches. She cares more about Eva's sex life.  -- Izaiah and Eva have nice chemistry, but their conversation seemed forced to me. Didn't sound like first date dialogue and was too on the nose.  -- Shanice was great in taking down Leslie. I'm so glad the writing didn't have Leslie land the biggest smackdown. Dr. Wilkes was also great.  -- Again, Leslie is spending like she's worth a bajillion dollars. This has to be written for laughs.  -- I've done a complete turnaround on June. I now think she's a great addition.  -- Martin and Smitty are so concerned that Tyrell learn about Banneker that they call in a guy who started work there this week?

        -- Tyrell is so much more mature than Samantha. I hate the way she treats him and talks about him in front of others.  She really sat there and asked Jessica why she's even with Tyrell. Samantha is pathetic.    Screenshot time: -- If I can get Fish & Fries at Orphey Gene's for $5, why is a glass of juice $4 ? -- That Mr & Mr sign at Martin and Smitty's is beyond lame and tacky.

      So do I. Jack actually treats her like an equal partner. And he’s done far less evil things Nikki has just to ignore including to his own kids than Victor any day.

      This 11/17 episode was extremely lazy and boring. That Adam and Chelsea opening scene was so cringe and out of character for both.  Billy Flynn is being wasted and I was only interested in Claire and Holden.    Every character feels the same with no actual personality.

      Ugh...right? At least if Chris Bernau had been able to continue in the role, it would've been intriguing to watch Alan manipulate Reva.

      Yes, it was. Dinah had started to soften after Henry's heart attack in March. After Paige Turco took over the role, the attitude is turned way, way down. The thing about Vanessa was, she could be very territorial. If Dinah had gone to Lillian (who had befriended Dinah before she knew Vanessa was her mother), that would've stung a bit, but Van probably would've understood. But Dinah getting advice from Ross' new girlfriend would not have sat well with her, the same way Van later bristles anytime Nadine tries to stake some kind of role in Bill's life. @DeeVee  I know it's been brought up before, but I hadn't really connected Long breaking up Ross/Van to the fact that she'd neither created that backstory or been responsible for giving them a love child.  I wonder what she would've done had she been there when Jordan left, and had to break Billy/Van up.

      Well, she just said "ladies" on the show but she didn't specify they were fellow actresses. It could have been some of the women behind the scenes of the show. There was a lot in the interview that wasn't clear to me.

      Now would’ve been a great time to get the next A plot going, versus Bill and Katie and Steffy and Liam rehashing the same BS about Luna we have been hearing for weeks.

      I feel it could benefit from a focus on one of their three A stories or a solid B plot. But right before the turnover from Guza to Thomson, outside of all things Dani...there's nothing too A story-ish going on. Still entertaining for me, but it's noticeable that there is not a main story with other B/C stories going on. It's just...a bunch of stories going on.    I do hope the build to Winterfest and us actually seeing it THIS month will get things moving again.    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
