Precisely.

Ironically, I actually think Jamia Simone Nash was a decent actress for her age. If she had been playing a well-written character who didn't feel the need to break into song every 5 minutes, she could have been a viable member of the next generation.

These idiots are leaving way too much open for the viewers to interpret what they want into these storylines. They started with thinking that the horrendous Eva/Tyra could ever replace VR/Dru! We viewers are more educated today than ever before and they wonder why their ratings are in a free fall. It says ALOT that GH's Guza won the top award for writing; that in itself should be an eye opener even though I think that GH is far better than Y&R these days.

But you don't know when to let that sleeping dog lie! You just keep bringing up the same ole sh!t and it seems you are just itching to pick a fight with someone every effing time you post whether or not someone agrees with you and heaven forbid we disagree with your thoughts.

You like to throw around the word crack ho. Do you know any? I know plenty of them. & I'm sure their children don't want to do relatives or relatives they thought was related. Maybe you should talk to some crack hos children & see where their heads are at. I don't think his mother being a crackhead have anything to do with him wanting to sleep with somebody he thought was a relative. Maybe he got that from the foster system.

So you don't know how crack head children will act. So you just pulling stuff out your ass. Or you just prejudging things. If you don't know what the hell you talking about. Why say on such a thing? I hate to say stuff comes off as racist. But uninform people can come off as racist & silly too.

Well, one can ususally deduce that children of crackheads will have some kind of issues. If Devon's mother had been white, and addicted to Meth.... I'd have said the exact same thing. My point is that this show has a long history of childhood trauma affecting the adult characters and coloring their actions. Jill's father abandoned the family when she was 12... she spent her whole life marrying older men, in search of her lost father figure. Kevin and Terrible Tom, need I say more? Devon certainly didn't have the loving upbrining Lily had, did he? I suppose your'e going to tell me that crackheads make perfectly good parents? If you want to believe that, go right ahead.

Oh, this is quite offensive!

I didn't grow up with a crackhead for a parent(and thank God for that), but many people do survive and go on to lead productive lives, without letting the baggage of their parents mistakes affect them as adults. You know, for someone who champions for progressive stories in the form of gay romance, you sure as hell have a very limited world view.

And BTW, crack is not just a "black person's drug." Just like meth isn't a "white person's drug." Just ask thespian researcher, Tatum O'Neal.

By your line of thinking, I guess poppers are only a "gay person's drug."

Since you don't know & don't want to know about crack addicted children because it's a black thing. Why are you making racist remarks on something you don't know & not willing to find out about. I tell you uninform remarkd comes off as racist & stupid.

Maybe the writers don't know how to do straight lace gay romance. Maybe they'll do flaming gay romance with all the hip switching. Maybe they waiting for the Gay pride parade & so they a pick something from that. Maybe Philip 3rd or Rafe will meet their love at the parade.

He has a problem when people complain about the lack of storylines for the black characters. He does the same thing over at SOC. Saying black people been represented now it time for the gay storyline. What black people problems have to do what they do for the gay storylines they not writing. Black people should just sit in the corner & except any storyline while they writer for the gays now.

Like I said I don't want to make everything racist but it sounds he have something against black people.

      Thanks for the fuller story.  Steve Guthrie was a loss to the show, but I can't really blame Nicholson.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By j swift · Posted

      Albee clashed with co-star Lee Godart, who portrayed villain Eliot Dorn . At the time, the Edge of Night cast participated in a charity baseball league with other New York-based soaps. Albee, an American, was very competitive about the games, whereas Godart – a French actor unfamiliar with baseball – was not as skilled. Tensions reportedly flared when Albee berated Godart’s athletic performance and even mocked his nationality during these games . Godart took offense and complained to the executive producer, who warned Albee to stop harassing his castmate . Albee either ignored this warning or didn’t take it seriously, and continued to needle Godart. As a result, when Albee’s next contract option came due, Nicholson chose not to renew it – effectively terminating Albee’s role on the show

      I can't remember exactly, but I think the claim was it involved a team baseball game.

      Not as caught up as everyone else but I just wanted to add, the show being played for laughs is gone and I’m happy about it, that’s exactly how the show was during the strike.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Uh, yeah, huh?!!! Seriously, that was a brilliant line but its acumen is strictly from how hilarious. We imagine Joss in Carly's kitchen breaking the news that she's realized she's gay & Carly is unconcerned & then drops that it's Emma she's in love with ... time comes to a screeching halt!!! I think Moss would likely be thrown hard against the wall. Can you imagine Carly & Robin as mothers of the brides together?

      @DRW50 Thanks for these. I had a procedure on my eyes and was just okayed for limited screen time the other day, but it is in short periods until Tuesday, when the doctor clears me.  I'll be adding in bits here and there, but Hoppers will be "hopping" after that. Upcoming: Rest in Peace, Denise Alexander, Ruth Buzzi and Priscilla Pointer Updating:   Max Gail, @Xanthe -- Will Lyman, who was lost in the shuffle a year ago, but his update from last year will be typed up;  New: Michelle Hurd and Shanola Hampton and others I'll b updating the edit-able profiles, too.
