Here is a video clip of Raya Meddine and Chris Engen (Sabrina, Adam).

It's the top video in the stack on the right.

Raya says Sabrina will set off "scandals" in Genoa City. This has me a bit intrigued. Hopefully the actress grows on me.

I don't have a problem with Sabrina or the actress per se. It's just taht she and AmeliaHeinle/FauxVictoria are beyond awful in their so-called friendship scenes.

And the writing is awfully forced on Sabrina from the get-go. There are wayyyy worse characters/actors in *cough*Amelia Heinle, Thad Luckinbill,Vincent Irizary*cough* GC

I personally don't see the character of Sabrina being here to stay.....at most she will stay for a little bit (like some say 6 months)...but if she is to truly stay, make sure to give her something worth keeping her on the show; not all this forced stuff with her and Amelia.

I'm soooo slow.

Who's Logan?

And Victor's so darn old. Please don't have him robbing the cradle with this Sabrina. It's already a stretch with Nikki, who's 20 years younger than he is.

I don't understand why the writers insist on always introducing new characters. They need to look at this like a real business. Cut out the fat and stick to the meat and bones of the show. For god's sakes. If the writers of Y&R ran this country, we'd be in even deeper debt than we already are because they keep adding and adding and adding unnecessary expenses to the already dried-out budget.

On the other hand... I'm glad they introduced a gf for Victoria. I just don't understand how these women have no gfs on Y&R. A girl like Amber, in real life, would have so may gfs in her life. So would Sharon, Victoria, and all the other women. Or even one, like Olivia and Ashley or Sharon and Dru. Why are all these women alone? What a cruel world Y&R is.

Can you ever, ever see Sharon and Phyllis bonding over stuff? Granted they are in a partnership together, could you see them eventually bonding? I can't but anything is possible...

I hear you on the women and the need for a close gal pal... Nikki and Katherine have it; Colleen and Lily used to have it (they only bring the friendship out in the open when Lily's whining about her love life and vice-versa for Colleen, so to me I don't consider that true down to the core gal pal material); Phyllis definitely need a strong gal pal (that could have been with Lauren since she's close to Michael) but the only thing that comes close for her is Michael, who has been MIA for a bit.

But that's what I mean, about Phyllis. Why pair her with Michael as a BFF? Why pair Amber with Daniel as a BFF? Lynn must've thought it was weird too that Amber has no gfs because when that trick went to Vegas to get Cane to marry her, she brought her gf, NOT DANIEL.

More Kendall/Greenlee friends would be nice.

The Bell family does not believe that women can be friends because they all have to be in competition for the love and attention of a man. That is one area where the ABC soaps have always been above the Bell soaps.

    • -- Jesus, that was bad. -- If we're going to bash Will's face-making, we can't let Luna off the hook. All that scrunched-face crying was annoying. -- Still no explanation as to how Luna escape, leading to utter stupidity that she gets away AGAIN while Will just stands there. -- Meanwhile, the entire cast hilariously gets texts about the jail escape and heads to the beach house.

    • I knew Ray Wise looked familiar (beyond How I Met Your Mother, which I also watched, where he replaced Eric Braeden!).

      GH really needs to keep the WSB honeypot away from Emma, and especially from Gio. If they want to put the two of them in a triangle with someone, it should definitely be with Trina. And, while I don't like Sidwell or this storyline that much, that was a really good ending. I didn't see it coming either.
    • In regards to Long's 2nd stint, it appears as though she officially came back as head-writer between the 4th of July/Bauer Barbeque episodes 1987 and mid August 1987.. and then between April and September 1988 were episodes written by the scabs.  I almost count her having 3 stints head-writing Guiding Light since the writer strike lasted five months. In her 2nd stint, she seemed focused on the following: - Sonni returning from the dead thus keeping Reva/Josh apart yet again so she naturally turns to Alan and causes the ending of the Vanessa/Alan relationship.   I wonder if Maeve's decision to leave affected some of this because she was gone by January 1988, a few months after Long's return so she had to come up with a way to get Vanessa to take off (and it was to be there for Billy during a low point if I recall). - Phillip/Chelsea were pretty heavily focused on during this 2nd stint period and I liked their rapport. - A lesser focused story in the background was the Lillian/Hawk/Sarah situation - Formulating her next version of the 4 Muskateers with Cam/Dinah/Harley/Alan Michael... but in order to include a more rough around the edges Harley.. Dinah was softened quite a bit (though I did see a cat fight between Harley/Dinah where Dinah belted Harley so I think Turco could have played an edgier Dinah). - There also seemed to be a Spaulding takeover going on with Phillip trying to oust Alan.. and it affected his relationship with Chelsea. Post-writer strike, I noticed that the Phillip/Harley arc kicked into gear with him pretending to be 'my fair lady' with Harley.. but trying to set it up to look as though they were sleeping together.  That arc plus the aftermath of Maeve's death were what Long started when she came back after the strike. I don't know how the Alan/Reva situation would have gone had CB remained in the role and if the writer strike hadn't happened.
    • I've only been solidly watching the show for the first time the past few months. I was familiar with parts of the show and some of the character just from being a soap fan. I do have to say that I am enjoying GH more than any other shows right now. Sure, it has flaws but it seems to move along fairly well, and most of all, the eye-candy. Damn, there are so many cute men on this show. Nathan and Michael are at the top of my list.

    • I have to say that I was honestly surprised by the exit this week. With spoilers and casting news, it is tough to pull off an honest shocker, and this shooting actually made gasp out loud.  I would bet many of you would enjoy it, if you watch it more regularly, I know that has been my experience this month.  
    • I believe she is talented and maligned for a reason. I fundamentally disagree with what she thinks soaps should be. And I am far from a traditionalist when it comes to the genre. There are many direct sources of her behavior and bad decisions, and my own eyes watching ratings decline after sweeps bumps on her her shows, it’s pretty clear she survived in power, especially at GH, specifically because the genre was declining. I will not further derail this thread with JFP unless it is pertinent. But I finish with this. She was asked directly over the years if she regretted killing Maureen off from Guiding Light. And for years she said she did. But someone pinned her down when she was at Y&R the first time, Michael Logan perhaps, and she admitted what she regretted and would never do again is making the audience care so much about a character right before killing then off. The tragic nature of the story leading into killing Maureen is what she regrets, not that she misjudged the audience, or that she didn’t have the foresight to see how destabilizing that was going to be for that particular show.    
    • If they bring back Connie, that kooky lady who kidnapped Melinda, or if Stephanie's stalker is a crazed fan, or if it is something based on her book, I may pluck an eyelash. I think the misdirect is that the stalker is after Alex, when they are really after Stephanie (unless it is Joy Wesley - that would be a surprise).
