I would have used the old trope of her running into him while he was in town with his fiance to tell his family they are expecting. I would have given them some closure, given TJ some agency about how he went along with Molly’s wishes because he loved her since they were kids, but losing the baby really showed him they want different things as adults. He wants a family. I think that combined with her recent medical issues would have been a nice way to also let Molly have some emotions around never having kids. I think she should hold strong to her values, but it would be nice if she got to process the entire decision onscreen when confronted with a what if life with TJ.
It’s yet another in a long line of things I question since Frons arrived and started micromanaging ABC Daytime. GH has a plethora of popular characters and they have repeatedly sidelined folks while even now we still see Sonny/Jason/Carly, although mostly just there taking up airtime now. It’s a shame, because Liz remained popular through some terrible story turns, and the audience did respond to her being a single mom to three boys and a nurse. It was relatable. But once FV was forced to get rid of Roger Howarth and Michael Easton (poor Becky had to prop them both!)it’s been mostly crickets. Or mites. All her sons should be onscreen.
As a longtime fan of this show, I think it always works best when we have the action/adventure umbrella story, the hospital in focus, and at least a handful of normal folks that have their normal lives and intersect with the other two hubs. Bobbie and the Webbers on GH while Luke/Laura were saving the world and Robert/Anna were WSB’ing. Frank Smith’s 90’s run while also meeting the Ward family, Tony/Bobbie imploding when BJ died. I know I complain a lot about this show and right now it has been watchable and fun for the most part. But a couple of small tweaks and it could be better, possibly even challenging the other soaps for more viewers. Liz and her kids really did work well in that family life setting.
