Sarah Louise was written as a typical young heroine for Tina's first 5-6 years on the show. In her last few years they decided to make her "gobby" and materialistic and stupid, like Rosie. I can't say it did her any favors. Many fans were glad to see the back of her.

She's already been sacked. When Eva left, they needed someone to take her place. Eileen volunteered, but she was horrible, as was expected. Liz, Michelle and Steve were too cowardly to fire her until Friday's episode where Steve mistakenly thought Liz had done so and put his foot in it. Eileen will now use online dating to meet 'Adrian', which I think you know about from the All Soaps Casting thread.

The show has some great things going for it: Sally/Tim always being a highlight, the imposter story is good, except when it comes to Michael (who ruins everything), the Faye pregnancy story has surprisingly been done well so far and continues to look promising with Owen leaving (Hallelujah!), the Tracy/Tony affair is alright, but Tracy gets tiring quickly, the Dev triangle story was entertaining and the Jenny Bradley return has worked really well so far, especially for Kevin, but I don't have faith they'll continue doing it justice.

I do think it's kind of funny/strange that Nick, Carla and Leanne all don't have any story currently. And I really do think they have been slowly building something with Audrey/Ken, which pleases me, but who knows what will happen with Kirkbride's passing.

I'm indifferent to Luke/Maria (I almost forgot to include them) as I think he deserves someone more exciting. I find she's at her best with Audrey and David; part of the Platt family.

Callum annoys and Todd, unfortunately, is awful. And I will never understand why Mary is permanately stuck with the olds. The actress is not even 40 yet.

    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that charcter. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now. 
    • Thank you for the constructive suggestion.
