Also...quick historical question.

Has any mention of Gail and Lee Balwin been made over the past years? I know neither has appeared on the show since 2004 but has anyone mentioned?

They're both still alive in real life. I say bring em back. I always lovedthem.

I don't think they'd ask questions if Michael asked them not to.

I could see him going to Monica or Bobbie. Until they aged Michael and got rid of Bobbie, Michael was supposed to be real close to her. And he knows Monica is crazy about him.

And Maya did let him stay in the boathouse when no one else knew where he was..So he has reason to trust her.

yeah but this is a kid thats emotionally (and possibly more) damaged by what happened to him in prison. Any relationship he had with them prior to that has changed by account of the trauma he's been through. He's been VERY guarded about himself and how much he lets people in. Seriously Jason is the only person he trusts 100%. He doesnt think about it; he just automatically thinks of Jason when he needs help. He isnt close to Monica or Maya and well who knows how things are with Bobbie. His grandmothers have their own set of expectations, which he probably feels he cant measure up to and doesnt need to deal with. Yay, Maya covered for him before, but she is still a stranger. I dont think he feels comfortable enough with her to ask her to do favors for him. I get where the kid is coming from. In context with how he has been potrayed, it wouldnt have made sense for him to call Monica or Bobbie to show up today. Really only Jason or Dante were the only logical choices for him.

I get what you're saying. But it's extremely sad. A kid goes to prison BECAUSE of the environment he was raised in. And yet when he gets out, he still thinks these people are Gods. It's sad writing.

Yeah, why is OLTL getting next day previews and not GH? And yeah OLTL still doesn't look good.

    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted 
    • Very true...but TPTB all were desperate to get into prime time or films and couldn't, so they looked down on their own industry and tried to infuse themes that just didn't work in soaps. I would have thought after 9/11 the shows would have gone out of their way to provide that warmth and comfort that the audience wanted, and to bring old viewers back. Budget cuts? Just bring back kitchen sets, both ATWT and GL got rid of those besides one each..(the Snyders and the Bauers) You don't need super fancy sets if you have the writing. 
    • LMAO they didn't
