Of course she can this is setting up more of the whitewashing the Elizabeth handing her Jake

is symbolic; Elizabeth forgives her for wanting her kid dead...Jason will be written to be off the

hook re: never stepping up for his kid

...the whitewash of that is now what is beginning to play...and like

their reunion...Jake kicks it off...Guza uses one element of drama for me that I can grasp

"symbolism" they have to do something to address that he thought his life to be to dangerous for

his son that he handed over to be in for this kid?

So the prepping for how it (now) won't be.

Tamara Braun by far was the worst. Jennifer Bransford I think was not given a fair shot. She wasn't petite like all the women on GH tend to be and it seemed like it was just determined immediately she did not work in the role. She finally got a story, when Carly starts to lose her mind, and she did really well I thought. That was one of the few times I felt anything for Carly.

Agreed. I really liked Jennifer in the role but she never stood a chance. They brought her on too quickly after Braun. They should have introduced her slowly, and given her and the audience a chance to adjust instead of just immediately throwing her into the stories Tamara started.

Brown had the best writing and acting partners whow ere still acting, that gives her a huge advantage.

Braun was my personal favorite, but it took a while. To say her start was rocky would be an understatement.

bransford was simply miscast.

Wright is playing the Carly the writers want. I like her fine, but i do get the hatred people have for her because this isnt Carly.

It's always about personal preference. TB's Carly was Sonny's wife/Baby Mama. JB wasn't really given a chance. LW is the Screech Owl. But IMO Sarah Brown made Carly into the icon she is remembered for (LW is just a pale imitation of Carly's worst characteristics IMO) and Carly pre-Sonny was an amazing character to watch. So from my perspective, yes it's true.

i will always remember Carly telling Bobbie the truth and grabbing her baby finger….. such a powerful moment.

Bransford was actually as skinny as Brown and Braun and probably skinnier than LW, she just wasn't um as "traditionally pretty" as her predecessors. I didn't mind her.

LW is just...well she's not Carly. She doesn't try to be Carly. She doesn't try anything. All she does is yell and snarl..I couldn't imagine ever being her scene partner and I often wonder if it's the actor's opinions of her acting choices whenever you see someone roll their eyes during a scene with her.

    • Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her
    • Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later. 
    • Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...

        New interview!! I was like Penny, aka Janet, and said, "That's the end???"
    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her own son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   The genius of Bill Bell -- truly.  
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride. 
    • Damn I was hoping Lesley would be at Monica's memorial  Hoping GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial
