I forgot about her. She hasn't been as bad lately, maybe because she became so annoying she had nowhere to go but up, or because they aren't focusing on her love life, I don't know.

If Kate was still on the show then I would have liked to have seen her share scenes with the new Michael. Didn't he shoot her?

I am already tired of NuMichael. He has been on almost everyday. GH has exactly 3 stories: Luke/Ethan's ickiness, Nik/Rebecca's creepiness, and Micheal's yelliness.

Combing through the muck: Robin and Patrick's reunion has been enjoyable as is the flirty dynamic between Alexis and Agent Rayner.

About Johnny, as I predicted he is back in the mob with no explanation after months of railing against its evil. It is too early to tell if this is a way to save the character or the engineer his demise.

So do I! Although I loved the long wavy hair she had on Tuesday, but LW can carry off shorter hair better than a lot of other actresses.

Natalia Livingston, too, has a gorgeous haircut. Love it! I'm still skeeved out by Rebecca & Nik, though.

As for JMB, I am in no way, shape or form a fan. EVER. She and her character annoy the [!@#$%^&*] outta me. However, props to JMB for stepping up in her scenes with Nathan Parsons. I liked Ethan and Lulu this week for the first time in a LONG time.

Love Alexis & Agent Raynor. Thank Christ there was no Spinelli or Winifred with them. Constance Towers! When is GH gonna give her a contract?

Is it sad that Guza is pimping Claudia to no end, yet I enjoy every single second she's on?! Sarah Brown makes it work.

She makes a far better "lead actress that can dominate screentime" than say, Laura Wright(who I love as Carly), Julie Berman, Kirsten Storms, or Kelly Monaco.

They should have pulled a John Black during the strike and made Claudia Carly. I don't care how implausible it would have been, I just really want Carly to be Sarah Brown. I love the way Claudia was being a mom to Michael.

I can deal with the Sarah Brown Show way more than I can deal with the Maurice and Steve show.

I don't think it's wrong, this is what Sarah Brown does. She's in her element when she plays a character who has done what on paper shouldn't be redeemable. Her Carly was the laundry cart AJ Carly, which at the time I thought was just about impossible to get out of. Sometimes I think she improves when she dominates because when she dominated airtime as Carly, she was, most of the time, fantastic. She is the one who made Carly a viable character, although Tamara and Laura have put their own successful spins on the character.

I will always see her as the true Carly, but I'm not sure if she could have gone back. She's so much more butch than Jax, and Jax is probably what now keeps Carly from just being another of the disposable Sonny women.

I still don't believe Laura Wright is Carly, she is just a parasitic invasion of Carly. She is playing a character with the same name and same set of connections. But she isn't Carly. Though it seems the she-beast has been tamed for the last few months.

That's how I often felt about Tamara Braun. I finally just decided each actress makes Carly her own. Laura can play both sides of Carly, which is why I like her in the role, but I'm probably never going to see anyone but SJB as Carly.

I know that I am in the minority here but I really HATE Claudia and am just not sold on Sarah Brown. She is the reason I'm really starting to not want to watch this show. I've never hated a character so much. And it's not a love to hate her thing either. Not to mention my hatred for Claudia is making me like Carly and that's not a good thing either.

I do love this new Michael though. And as someone else mentioned, I was thinking the other day that he reminded me of Will on Days too. Certainly not in the acting ability department but there is something about him that resembles Will to me.

This Nicholas and Rebecca thing is gross beyond words. It's sick and twisted and just plain crazy.

      The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.

      She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.

      Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger.

      shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?

      Yes. And I assume he met Mary Ellen Stuart at GL.

      That's an odd coincidence. Yeah, Roger would turn anything he could to his advantage. At the time, he's just taking the pictures to bank leverage over Reva, Billy or the Lewises.  I'm kinda squeamish about 1986 episodes myself. I'd love to hear the original version of Ross/Vanessa/Dinah, but the Cain story is bad, and I don't want Billy and Vanessa to break up.

      Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that.

      That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited. And @errol said JHC is working in a nonproduction capacity at Y&R.

      I remember when the whole Missy Reeves controversy started in 2012.  She tweeted support of a business that had made homophobic statements. Greg Rikaart (who was on Y&R back then) publicly called her out on it, but was willing to reach out and speak with her. Article here: https://greginhollywood.com/greg-rikaart-talks-about-his-twitter-war-with-fellow-soap-star-melissa-reeves-over-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-73139 That being said, ten years later, on DAYS, in 2022, when they had they double wedding of Leo/CraigWesley and Gwen/Xander, Jack and Jennifer came to the wedding.  At that time, Missy Reeves was only intermittently available for DAYS. Jennifer was living "in Boston" and Cady McClain and Missy were each intermittently appearing as Jennifer, on the specific occasions when the show required a Jennifer to appear. Missy wasn't on contract and she could have said no. But she chose to appear as Jennifer for the gay wedding of Greg Rikaart's character.   So... I mean... I would assume they reached a détente behind-the-scenes. Missy still has her belief system but there's that.
