I dont think he was saying Laura Wright was physically ugly. The character is ugly bc of her actions and IA with that. Carly is a very ugly person bc of the way she acts and behaves

BTW, does anyone know what Adriene Leon's status with the show is? Is she recurring or contract? If the latter, for how long?

Thanks I was confused as I wondered why they even bothered to bring her into the studio for the cast shots if she were recurring. Made me wonder if she would be added to the opening. The character also has a bio page on abc.com

I'm a casual watcher of GH, but I am very confused as to why Spinelli is being so vindictive towards Dante. Now I may have missed many things on this show, but Dante isn't the reason why Jason went to prison, is he? I was just really disgusted with Spinelli working with Carly to take Dante down. Framing him for corruption? :unsure:

I never understood Sam's appeal. She's like a blob. What exactly does she do?

I agree.

Spinelli was doing it for Lulu. Basically, Carly blamed Dante for Michael going to prison. Dante thought Michael would get a suspended sentence for the murder, and went and got Michael on the island, and Michael confessed, and was sent to Pentonville. Jason voluntarily turned himself in for some little crime or another, to be with Michael in prison. So Carly blames Dante for Jason going as well, because without Dante, Michael wouldn't have been in prision, so Jason wouldn't have to go either.

Carly wanted Spinelli's help, and she lied to him and said she was doing it JUST to hurt Dante, and to PROTECT Lulu, who Spinelli still cared about and didn't want to see manipulated by Dante. In reality, Carly wants to destroy Lulu too, because Lulu didn't tell Carly that Dante had Michael, and Carly considered it a betrayal because Lulu is her family.

So Spinelli tracked down Brook Lynn, after he found out her and Dante used to be friends. So Carly is paying to get Dante into bed and take pictures, so she can destroy both Lulu and Dante, but to further punish Dante, she's going to use Spinelli to frame him for corruption.

She was a great character in her early years and she shined after she dumped Jason and got with Lucky. Putting her back with Jason was what killed her. She is currently void of any personality and exists simply to give him someone to talk to. She has not had a storyline in ages and adds absolutely nothnig to the show. Im a fan and it sucks watching her like this bc there really isnt anything worth watching. Sam is a shell of her former self. I really dont see her lasting longer with Brenda around.

What difference would that make? Someone else could be removed from the cast to accomodate their arrival.

And since when has this show given a damn about whether someone was connected to someone by virtue of friendship or relationship? How would that make someone have a better chance at being on-contract than others?

I miss LuSam! KeMo and GV were hotness, somehow I have a hard time picturing it happening now with JJ in the role. But I agree that was Sam was at her best when she did that. Now that she is back with the Borg again there is just no hope. Sorry but I can't stand her, I want to see her leave or if there could be any sliver of hope to save her, have her dump Jason again and move onto better things.

    • I totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
