Tad and Dixie at the end brought tears to my eyes so I know I'm going to need a box of kleenex tomorrow when TIIC show what they cheated the fans out of and for which I will never forgive them for. :angry:

I've hated Greenlee since the first second she appeared. She has always been like this IMO. I'm relieved that finally some are finally seeing the light. :D

It had a total General Hospital Sweeps feel to it, so it wouldn't surprise me if he had some input.

But it is imdb. So I wouldn't go too far with it.

I loved Greens when she first came on. IMO her character has gotten worse over the years, and no matter how hard I try, my devotion to the character cannot blind me to the slanted writing and character propping that is taking place lately. I haven't enjoyed Greenlee since before she hooked up with Ryan - then add the Sabine recast and the stupid kidnapping story to the list, and she is just a cartoon these days. The stuff that comes out of her mouth and others (about her) is just unbelievable. Greenlee has always been selfish, yes, and she has always made a big scene, but when she used to do these things, the plot justifed it....i.e. Jack and Erica's non-wedding in 2003. She had every right to blow up then, though it was selfish, but she was wronged.

In this current storyline, she has no right to be throwing stones. She has a right to be pissed off, yes, but the writing is so out of whack - the build up, awful - basically AMC is saying that kidnapping and cheating are on par, and that kidnapping can be forgiven, but cheating during a moment of weakness, not. At least that's what it feels like I'm watching. Why oh Why can't Kenlee hate each other like normal people and get it over with. They are much more interesting at opposite ends of the soap, occasionally running into each other for a few brief minutes and bitching each other out. JMO.

Greenlee first came on when Agnes Nixon briefly returned as HW, and I thought Agnes was really trying to created a new Erica. She was a foil for sweet little Becka, another Agnes creation who frankly sucked (i think it proved that in 1970 you could have a heroine like Tara who was sweet and very bland but by 1998 or 1999 or whatever it just didn't work) and I think Scott?

I admit I'm still a fan of the character and if Rebecca stays on could see her becoming the new "Erica"--if the writing improves.

I'm sur ehe did consult and he's good with action stunt episodes but as for the comment " They liked his work so much that they offered him the job." They wer eyeing him WELL before that, we all know, and they ALWAYS say something like that...

I am a fan of the 30 min soap with a smaller cast of core char's. I dont need any filler bullshit.

Ryan Hope, Seach For Tomorrow, Edge of Night, Loving, The City, Capitol, B&B, and even PC all flowed much better IMHO.

The thing is he was on Wednesday's show but not today's. Since it was showcased at the hospital today (where Josh appeared), you would think he would be on the next episode

BE as Greenlee? That would be a horrible casting decision. She looks about 10 years too old for the role, even if she isn't actually 10 years older than RB. They really should have just kept Sabine, sine RB made no difference in ratings and is more expensive.

    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
    • A white twunk with no purpose?? On Days of our Lives??!!
    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol. Also, this may be a stupid question, but is Chad's name really Chadwick?  I can't find any evidence of that in a quick google search, so I assume it's just a silly nickname Leo calls him?  I feel like I've heard other characters (EJ?) call him that though too.
