I agree. I think the "tier" is based on backstage popularity (such as "your character is a part of THIS group instead of THAT group") rather than actual acting. Nancy Lee Grahn made a joke (yet based in truth) about the fact that she wasn't able to submit herself in the GH "Lead Actress" category in the Daytime Emmys until Alexis started interacting with Sonny.

Most definitely. On GH, a leading actress has to be paired with a mobette. That's mostly true for the men too. The only male lead who isn't a mobette is TG.

I think that is probably changing now, but it has been that way for several years.

^^^ That's annoying when he does that!

Connie tells Sonny Jason yelled at her lmao Sonny doesn't have a clue on what's going on with her, Spinny and Matt teaming up

to save Maxie oy , Dante's says no way to LooLoo's dumb idea of being

undercover as a stripper. SoapNet is re running Tracy being in the loony-bin and is still better than some of the stuff that's on now.

He seems to see her as garbage - the same way he sees just about everyone.

Then again, I'm not sure how I'd feel about a person who can't remember close family relationships of the guy they've been "dating" for several years.

No, because he's paid far less than they are and he is still somewhat of a newcomer (and he's probably expendable). In large part, the tiers are based on who makes the most money. DZ might get a lot of episodes, but he is making a lot less per episode than those in the top tier. They also have contractually guaranteed minimums.

Ingo Rademacher, Tyler Christopher and Nancy Lee Grahn were probably the second tier who came closest to the top tier. They had all been there for a considerable number of years so their union-set base salaries were higher. On top of that, IR and TC were both seen as leading men at one time, so they were able to negotiate from that vantage point. One of the reasons GH gave for firing them is that they were both expensive. Once LW got out of the pairing with IR, GH felt free to fire him.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
