ABC/SN are running a poll of who she should be with. The choices are

Sonny

Nikolas

Patrick

Jason

Ric

Lucky

Jax

I think Id most want to see her with Ric but voted for Jason bc I loved their chemistry back in the day and wish GH had paired up SB and SJB as a real couple. Plus no one could torture Elizabeth quite like Sarah's Carly. I welcome Claudia doing the same

RIC! He's the only guy with the edgy sex appeal to go toe-to-toe with Claudia and match Sarah Brown in the acting stakes. I know CarSon fans are clamboring for a Sonny/Claudia redux, but I just don't find a guy treating a woman like a two-bit hooker sexy. It's so 2000!

I could dig a Jason/Claudia match-up... except I understand that Liz/Jason is a go. With Steve Burton's wholehearted blessing.

That poll reminds me... Nikolas needs a very sweet, very hot new romance. And not one with his tumor. If Sam wasn't already related to him, I'd be pushing for that. KM and TC have some mighty chemistry.

From how she's depicted so far, she seems like she'd be totally wasted on Jason. I don't really care how two people look together as much as I care about how plausible they are together. Maybe Jason and then Carly would have made sense because of who Carly was and Jason being pretty much one dimensional. Claudia seems like she's meant to be complex and layered which Jason isn't at all. I think for those who like the lady of the house with the pool boy in the cabana they'd be ideal. But for people who want something more than the physical look then neither Jason nor Lucky should be options.

I would leave Sonny in because even though he's despicable, he's still technically got more depth than both Jason and Lucky, and there is a nice bit of tension there that could be explosive.

I'd be curious to see a scene with Patrick and Claudia but Patrick is pegged for Robin and I don't think that dynamic would work since Robin would be overmatched.

I know that Ric could go toe to toe with her and the acting dynamic would probably be great. I don't know about Nikolas because he's been muted by that Emily crap and I don't know if he can handle that. I think Jax could and it might get him to step up his game but it would only work if they allowed Jax to be more backbone than puppy dog.

Who they really need is Alcazar.

Death! why isnt that an option?

None right now, I say let her character get established. I don't get why she has to be immediately paired with someone....

Honestly, I want to see her with Jason which is surprising since I can't stand him. I think that Sarah and Steve have some chemistry that I want to see explored. I wasn't necessarily a fan of Jason and Carly back in the day, but I recognized the chemistry.

I enjoyed Claudia and Sonny, mostly because I loved Sarah and Mo together before--but I am willing to see something new.

I thought you were going to soften up when you saw her again but you're holding steadfast. I applaud you!!!!

She should be paired with Michael Park (Jack Snyder)!

I say they should bring back Manny for Claudia....or he can be with Sam. SaMan would have been hot :lol:

I think either Lucky or Jax would be best. I have no interest in seeing S&C2 at all.

Way to soon to tell, but if I had to choose and Michael's gun was at my head, I would choose Jason simply because back in the day, they were smokin hot. Then maybe Liz can be back with Lucky and rub it into Sam's face every single day of her life

Ha! I thought of you when he showed up.
It only took him 7 months to run out of money. He and Jacinda really need a class on budgeting blackmail gains.
Yeah, I get your point. It's a shame both these stories are happening at the same time. It makes Lulu look like a weird helicopter mom that won't let her kids do anything even if she has valid reasons. The show has written Lulu poorly and tried to make her the heavy in almost every situation since her return so it's not surprising.

True, I remember in the beginning that Bea had a much harder edge (and was shown sucking back beers with Floyd). You could understand a little bit why Nola was embarrased by her origins. Later, it was more like she was unreasonable in her disdain for her family. It is a shame they lost their edge.

It's kind of throughout the entirety when he talks about manliness (and comparing himself to that of Bill Cosby), etc., and how he tried portraying Ted's love for his wife, and how manliness is what needed to be shown. It was multiple comments kind of equalling why he left the role. The 'host' of that 'interview' kept jumping from one point to another point. It was all over the place.

He never discusses exiting BTG. He talks about how BTG opened doors for his career but nothing about his exit at all. And the interviewer doesn't ask at all.

The issue is his description of his self-described "manliness", and how he thought women viewers respond to that ... but all of that is alongside the homophobia he expresses.

Some text-based soap websites have typed up and posted their summaries of this interview, in which they state that he says he'd never portray a gay character because his portrayal wouldn't be believable to the viewers, and that it would be better if gay actors got such roles. People hurriedly reading those unclear summaries might buy that as a support of gay actors and representation. But it's not that at all!
If you watch the video, there's more * emotion * in how he says that, making it obvious that he's homophobic.

Is there a time stamp for when he talks about exiting BTG? I skimmed but couldn't find it.

Marland would totally fit into that because his main strengths was complicate and complex plotlines with characters sometimes taking a backseat (His Guiding Light was worlds different in subtle ways to his predecessors the Dobon's (husband and wife team).
Bill Bell on Y & R also was very much into plot with character sometimes taking a backseat... and also he had a trusted co-head writer by the name of Kay Alden that did flesh out the characters (i.e Victor Newman, Jack Abbott, etc).
Brad Bell has no business being a writer... but he's actually in the plot realm and not the character realm.

Perfect example was the Doug/Vanessa/Joey story that had both of them slowly becoming ensnared in Joey's web with Joey using their addictions (gambling for Doug and Sex for Vanessa) to his advantage. Doug's 'death' with his son coming to investigate were the last episodes of Guza's stint and all of a sudden the son was sent back to school and Vanessa is now becoming pathetic without the cunning glint in her eyes that we saw in the first 150 episodes or so).
The Hayley bombshell was a great way swan song for Guza's stint. but the aftereffects have been a bit lackluster with Hayley since episode 151 with her making such careless mistakes (no way would she be eyeing Jacob's brother in plain sight, nor talking to Randy in public, nor being overly insistent on Bill drinking a special tea, etc)... and now this random chick that came out of nowhere.

I never really thought of the similarity. You're right, they are very similar early on.
Early Bobbie is also similar to what we know of Charlotte Bauer.
Beyond GL and GH being such different soaps, and the huge popularity of Luke, I think the biggest difference between the siblings is how quickly the show pivoted Nola away from a seedier world. Even after Bobbie was "redeemed" (which took much longer than Nola's redemption), her past was never truly gone.
Marland's choice to make the Reardons so nice outside of Nola also meant there was less backstory to mine compared to the Spencers. You had Ruby, who was kind, but also razor-sharp, a reminder of where they'd come from. Nola had Bea, who was the stock sweetie pie mother.
By 1982, Nola was moving away from most of the foundation of the character, and there wasn't very much left by the time Lisa Brown quit the show.
They could have brought some of that hard edge back in her second run, but it just never worked out, due to terrible, terrible writing from start to finish.

You’re welcome!
Hahaha Bell’s words on Kurt Costner has always explained everything I need to know. I’m sure Bell was very familiar with McCloskey’s previous work and in his head it might have worked, but between Bell’s admitted struggles and McCloskey being saddled with a lackluster terrible recast it was all DOA.
To this day I still believe TLW deserved that Emmy wayyyyy more than Stafford.

I had to laugh a bit when Amanda was rubbing perfume on her cleavage. I guess she wanted to smell nice in case Chris wanted to motorboat.
Mary Frann was also in the Tang ad with Florence Henderson. Polly Holiday (from Alice) was in the Mon in the Stove Top ad.

-- Ted gifted Shanice an electronic bird feeder? This guy has no game. None.
-- The hard right turn moving Leslie away from Ted and towards Marcel makes no sense to me. This just feels like another dropped storyline in a sea of dropped storylines. She was OBSESSED with Ted and now doesn't even mention him.
-- BTW, is Allison gone? Or will we return to her around May and hear some people say "Oh, these writers are so clever!"
-- Is Greg Vaughan going to recur the same way Cady McClain recurs? Because if that's the case, there was no sense signing him.
-- Still waiting for someone to explain Eva's complete outfit and jewelry change from one scene to the next.
-- It's sure looking like Bob Guza's departure is a big loss.
