Love her response:

Do they want to see one more mob shootout? In the 15 years I've been on GH we haven't had many stories told about women from a woman's perspective. I think I can make this funny and entertaining and relatable. Besides, it's very timely.

Haha I'm looking forward to this. I love her.

I don't know what impact this will have on the character, as Alexis has seemed menopausal (not to mention, asexual) for years now.

Hasn't this chick been going through menopause for years now?

Doesn't seem like Frank is interested in keeping it.

Phelps the woman who said that viewers don't want to see old people kiss on TV approved a menopause storyline?

She must've known she was on her way out.

The storyline has been going on since Sept. Problem is a couple of scenes of hotflashes because thats all it is is not a story.

NLG is a long-time FOJ.

Interesting that the two stories that are getting traction - this and Johnny's story - are the two that the new PTB gutted almost instantly. (Now they also ended Lulu's drinking, so it's not a direct line.) I'm wondering if the response will change any of their changes. Problem with being so far out is that you can't respond to an audience who's now viewing in real time and will tune out long before the 6 month turn around is able to be written let alone acted out on screen. It might save money, but what other expenses does advanced block taping it incur?

What was Johnny's story? I saw a preview for it but wasn't really paying attention.

^^ Paternity discovery was supposed to be more involved. Read they cut a lot of Johnny/Tracy yesterday talking about Gino because the new regime doesn't want to go there. AZ/Tracy was supposed to play out for quite some time but it's being cut short (this part isn't breaking my heart, I can assure you). I just hope BB is allowed to ride this one and doesn't get a ticket out of town.

So then is it true? It makes not sense for Claudia to be his mother... ugh GH!

^^ Actually I disagree - it makes a lot of sense and explains how she treated him, how AZ hated her and why she was obsessed with Carly's baby after she lost her own. About the only thing that causes difficulties is the age gap, but with a little SORAS massaging, it all works. IMO if we can accept Olivia being Dante's mother, it's not a stretch to accept Claudia being Johnny's.
