Listen, I am the worst at knowing or telling people's ages and I always think people that played teens on soaps are younger than they are lol.  Julia just seemed a lot older than Brenda even though they were probably only 5 or 6 years apart on the show.  CC just always had those power suits and owned multiple businesses and was always chiding Brenda so she seemed about 40 in 1993 when she was probably only like 23.

ETA-VM and CC are less than a year apart in age so Idek.  CC just read so much older and VM seems much younger.  Not even in looks-just in characterization.

I have my doubts Haskell would work for FV again given what we've heard about her final days at OLTL and her personal feelings about it, as well as those of her husband who refused to return when asked because of that same issue.

I don't think recasting Julia is the worst idea in the world. I would definitely not put Drew with Carly at all though. That's just a Jason retread for her.

I think Monty had her camped up in tight bun hair and being very haughty when CC first started, didn't she? That'll do it.

I think you would absolutely test her with Sonny.  Just saying.  It sort of writes itself.  I don't know why Julia seemed so old.  It has to be her styling and her exasperation of anything fun.  Also, I think her being Brenda's guardian immediately made me think she was much older. 

A job's a job.  She doesn't need the money I am sure, but I could see her accepting a new part that had a solid history and idea.

I don't think I would like her and Drew, but it might be fun to see Carly in a triangle with Brenda's sister.  Julia's such a blank slate.  Never married, no kids, we know nothing about her and why Brenda seems to not invite her to any of her million weddings even though they made up 25 years ago.

I don't even think about whoever RH is playing these days, but I guess it's possible.  I still think the real drama would be her and Sonny.  It just has so many more soapy aspects.  

ETA-I actually thought Julia/Jax would be a potential pairing if Ingo wasn't Ingo.  She always seem to have a crush on him.  And you know Brenda was so jealous of Julia, but you have to assume Julia was also a little jealous of Brenda as well.

What's one more?  I ETA my post on saying Jax/Julia was probably my ideal.  I could see Sonny wanting to know why Brenda was so jealous of Julia and Julia wanting to know what's so awesome about Sonny.  And, you know, Sonny could be sleeping with her just because she reminded him of Brenda or whatever.  

To me, Sonny has been so tarnished over the years with random women and impregnating them something based in history wouldn't bother me.

Oh, yes, I've seen that. Oy.

Howarth is playing Dr. Austin Gatlin-Holt, Jimmy Lee's annoying son. I think fans would've warmed to Howarth as a Q 9 years ago, but he showed up about 8 years and 2 other roles too late. The pairing with Maxie squicks me out as he still seems too young for her. Howarth had a viable place on GH once but it's long, long gone IMO.

A lot of her seeming old might be the pairing with Tony/Bill.  There is just something naive and fresher about Vanessa that made her seem so much younger.  Maybe it's the fact VM was so green.  CC is clearly the better actress, but she does lack a little star power and charisma.  And of course CC is beautiful but she's not Vanessa Marcil 90's stunning.  Idk, it's weird they killed off Harlan before Brenda even aired, but I assume they were just looking to build a teen scene and didn't think Brenda would matter much in the long run.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any.

      I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.

      For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
