I really couldnt stand JR and Babe under Alexa. Bc of this I initially hated the repairing after she was recasted. I opposed them for the longest time until I finally realized that my reasons for disliking them were no longer valid. JR wasnt the drunk psycho, always getting angry and treating her like crap. And Babe wasnt acting like some naive smug skank.. They geniunly seemed to be happy and in love and were good together and for each other. They actually worked and were a much better fit. I never got that with Alexa's Babe. She and JR visually, looked good together, but thats about all they had going for them

I really thought she was going to be a Hayley recast. Too bad they didnt go that route

I read that too. Even more reason Taylor can join and interact with more people. Once they explain why she won't ship off ever again Taylor WILL have to get a job and I can't see her working at Fusion... unless she works for Tad's Private Eye business, but I feel like she'd need the "structure" of the PVPD to be happy.

ICAM! Alexa's Babe made me want someone to smack her smug judgmental ass to hell. Her relationship with JR was warped because the more he reacted to her [!@#$%^&*], the more she judged him and blamed his father.

I could tolerate Baker's Babe but I'm glad the character is dead and I want her to STAY DEAD, too.

ITA. Ehlers has made Taylor a real woman, not another fluffy Fusion girl. She reminds me of some of my female friends who aren't into make-up and expensive clothes. Taylor has been way too separated from the rest of the cast on AMC and having her join the police force would be a great idea.

Taylor and Brot (Ehlers and Martinez) should definitely stay together. But if they do, I think you will see tptb write both of the characters off of the show and let them have their happily ever after. I have no interest, whatsoever, in seeing Taylor as a cop or anything in law enforcement for that matter. BE played a cop on Guiding Light for nearly 20 years, and that much more than enough. It is bad enough that I already feel like I am just watching Harley Part 2 on AMC.

Jake with Natalia (Jesse's daughter)? No, no, no, no, no...

RPG has shown fantastic chemistry with both Rebecca Budig (Greenlee) and Chrishell Stause (Amanda). Since Budig is leaving, I'd love to see RPG paired up with CS again, but have tptb make it a true romance this time. Jake and Amanda were scorchingly HOT together! Plus Jake and Amanda "fit", they balanced each other out very nicely IMVHO.

The fact that I knew exactly what you meant means I'VE been watching this show too long.

Galen did run off with the Dr. Stephen that was in the middle of the whole Dixie/Craig/Gloria mess. She was a lawyer, in Jackson's firm, natch. She reminded me of Michelle Pfeiffer, the recast that is.

The fact I know she's a recast really does prove I've been watching the show too long. The first Galen was a redhead, who was interested in Trevor.

    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.
