Members ChickenNuggetz92 Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 For those who have an appetite for a 2.5h interview, SJB talks about the issues surrounding her career and her ex which gets very honest and very raw. CW: Sexual Assault, Grooming, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted September 28, 2021 Webmaster Share Posted September 28, 2021 THIS! Maybe it'll happen eventually, but they really dropped the ball on a reversal of situations when Sonny returned to see Jason and Carly about to do it. They could have done SO much with the drama the angst, the revisionist history. But they just dropped the ball. Either the writers truly don't know the history of the show and write as they go, or someone controlling things behind the scenes really doesn't like drama. Oddly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 It sounds more like the latter to me, actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) Same. To me their (too abrupt) shift to writing Jason as starting to get into the relationship with Carly after initially being shown to be very reluctant was telegraphing him getting there... just in time for Sonny to see them. And something happened where story was rushed AND the drama was taken out of it. I bet Jarly doing it was specifically vetoed by someone. But there is no way someone didn't have the parallel in mind; it really looked like they were setting it up. I don't want to derail this fantastic conversation by ranting about the current events but I agree with amy: the writers knew about the history. The very way in which they showed Carly being gung-ho about wedding Jason as soon as the idea came up despite "not being in love" was very fitting with the way that relationship had been written all the way back to SJB days imo.

Members amybrickwallace Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 I can never look at this cover without smiling because supposedly the four stars began screaming at each other during the photo shoot. SBu kicked over a chair. The SOD liason freaked out and called his editor. The actors then crowed "APRIL FOOLS!" loud enough for her to hear.

Members titan1978 Posted September 28, 2021 Members Share Posted September 28, 2021 (edited) We had a couple of great flare-ups with Laura as Carly. Robin telling Nikolas that the baby was his and Jax was not the father was kind of fun. SJB’s Carly was just this side of dangerous. She had so much anger, neurosis and also when she was paired with Sonny- power. I think Claudia is more like what her Carly would have been like- more cunning, certainly the wardrobe and style. TB’s Carly settled into a romantic heroine with and edge, and Laura is playing someone named Carly but she doesn’t often get to play the wounded animal. SJB’s wounds were the kind that lashed out. I did think she and SBu and MB had more chemistry back in the day with LW than they do now. Steve especially had great chem with Sarah and decent with TB. I never liked Sonny with Sarah’s version of Carly- it was the beginning of overly Sonny centric writing dominating the show for me. They both were on all the time and tied to everybody, and now they are together literally eating the show alive.

Members carolineg Posted September 29, 2021 Members Share Posted September 29, 2021 That's a funny story about the actors. I never knew that lol. I can't say I am the biggest fan of Tony's breakdown, but it was an interesting move for the Tony character and good material for BM. Too bad the character never recovered from it. SOD is so dramatic with those taglines......."somehow Sonny sees Brenda..." because the show clearly would have MB back for a few weeks to NOT see Brenda. And did Deidre really almost not re-sign with Days? I have a hard time believing it was touch and go but maybe? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 29, 2021 Members Share Posted September 29, 2021 I read it in a later SOD story about April Fools jokes. Too funny. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Robert2022 Posted September 29, 2021 Members Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hello Just wondering I heard rumor that there is a onedrive account that has episodes of General Hospital. Is this rumor true 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted September 30, 2021 Members Share Posted September 30, 2021 I still remember when Tony took the mic at the Nurses Ball that year. Edward, Emily, Mac among others had just finished "Thank Heaven for Little Girls". Tony yelled, "Thank Heaven for...hypocrites!" He then proceeded to rip almost everyone present until Robin gave him what for. It wasn't one of Tony's finer moments.

Members Taoboi Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 Hahahaha. And to think that I used to HATE that look. But watching it back, it fits. Especially if you remember Brooke from the Nickelodeon show FIFTEEN. Totally agree. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 Oddly enough, I think the pixie cut suited KMc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! It aged so well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 3, 2021 Members Share Posted October 3, 2021 It aged better, but I hated it at the time. I was like NOOOOO, WHY, ROBIN, WHY?!!!! She really had the right face for it, but in my youth I had such an aversion to short hair. It made her look older too. I did like her in between bob better than her long hair or the pixie cut though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 4, 2021 Members Share Posted October 4, 2021 The bob was a pretty good look for her, too. Not sure if she'd be able to pull off very short hair now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
