I doubt it.

Im willing to bet some former FOJ's are not FOJ's anymore. Not because anything happened, just because time has gone on and they prob lost touch and moved on. Jill has litle to no power at GH tho, i mean she was very close with greg and rick, and look what happened there?

I would love Anna Stuart on the show -- but not as Adela. It would totally drain her of her natural vivacity and beauty. It would be a thankless role, a downtrodden, weak-willed, spineless woman who let her son take his stepfather's beatings and later hid the fact she was alive from him. She'd be the recipient of Total Hate. Can you imagine the scenes where Laura Wright gets to "confront" Adela and KICK Anna's ASS SIX WAYS TO SUNDAY? No thanks.

I thought you knew! :lol: I've been bitching about Laura Wright's Character (© R Sinclair) long enough. Weirdly, I think if I met LW in real life, she would probably win me over in terms of how she is with her fans. But whether she's just following instructions in the script or bringing her own je ne sais quoi to the role, this Carly is all wrong. And I think it definitely stems from your point about parodying/doing an impression of the role instead of "feeling" the character and taking that character's history on your shoulders.

Oh, hey, why? What prompted the divorce?

I believe Carly Benson, as portrayed by Sarah Brown, to be a girl who grew up into an insecure young woman. She's felt inferior and rejected. She had a hunger to be accepted by people who are important to her and/or important in the community. She's always afraid of being alone and losing what little she has, so she fights viciously to hang on to it. That fear causes her to self-sabotage things in her own world, because she'd rather destroy it than have someone or something else come in, blindside her and ruin it. And, yet, no matter how horrible she is to others and how much she claims she doesn't care, it's all really driven by a deep, deep feeling of never being worthy. That's why Jason was so important to her. No matter what she did, he always let her know she was important to him. A character like that, while it might not be the most endearing character on the canvas, does tend to exhibit some vulnerability.

Carly Cortinthos Jacks, as portrayed by Laura Wright, I find to be just an angry, hateful, selfish woman. Extremely immature with an extraordinary sense of entitlement. She just knows she's not only worthy, but the toughest woman in Port Charles. Nothing can stop her. She can get anything she wants. She's never vulnerable. She's a fighter. She's a bully. You'll never get the best of her... but on the off chance you do, it's not because of her. She's infallible. She's justified in every last horrendous plot, scheme, trick, plan she comes up with that is designed to hurt someone. Why? Because she's Queen of Port Charles.

LAME LAME LAME! They wasted MONEY on this?! They were willing to go to New York for this?! Really?!

And this Hospital [!@#$%^&*] is so lame...Where the hell did Warren Bauer get a gun?! I mean, this is just so f*cking stupid.

This is like high budgeted scab material. Awful.

And terrible directing too with the cam zooming in on Bradley Cole's craggleface.

This performance art sh*t is just terrible.

BTW, if that music during the opening of Franco's art exhibit sounds familiar, here's why:

      Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive.

      Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.

      Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.

      I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.

      I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.

      Quick question - did Christie and Leann share any scenes together in the '80s before Leann left the show?

      This is the perfect way to encapsulate the situation. So many morally-reprehensible stories were foisted on the show and its characters in ATWT's dwindling years. Rape should never be used as a cheap plot device or in a way that degrades the victim. Jack's sexual assault was another heinous example of how nasty the the show's tone had become. The fact that people like Hogan Sheffer, Ron Carlivati, Jean Passanante, Charles Pratt, Dena Higley, etc., somehow end up winning awards for their material, decimates the credibility and integrity of the awards, IMHO. Soaps used to have a solid moral core and did not originally wallow in the gutter, rolling around in filth and depravity just to be cool, hip, campy, or whatever else modern-day PTB aim for. Thank you. Cruelty, degradation and misogyny are not components which lend themselves to successful soaps, which have always been predicated on warmth, family bonds, and providing a comforting haven for their audience. The genre has been crippled because the cynical and ignorant executives in charge understand neither the shows nor what the audience wants to see.
