Me neither. I know Kate was referred to a lot off camera, but I don't ever recall feeling "Wow... where is Kate? When's the last time Kate's been on?" Then it was announced the recast was in place and I was just like "Um... why?" :blink:

However, I think they wanted to give Sonny a woman after Brenda left because, of course, Sonny can't survive without having a woman to put his baby maker baton in for more than two weeks at a stretch. So, I think it was just a lazy attempt at giving Maurice a new partner without having to create a new character.

lol...but there was still Olivia who was brought on as Sonny's first love but they never went there with them. Im surprised those two hent been paired up after so many years on the show bc it seemed like an obvious route after she was casted and Kate was pushed aside

Shock value aside, what was the point of Kate announcing that she was Connie Falconeri on the witness stand? She hates that name and identiy and flips out whenever anyone refers to her as that. Especially with her knowing that she has an alter that goes by Connie thats doing freaky things w/o her knowledge, her using that name now seems odd. The only way it would make sense would be if Connie had taken over but that didnt appear to be the case in court

RSinclair, I agree...I was happy for Carlintini to come to GH ... I never thought like some they are the rock stars of soaps...but I believed they cared a lot about this genre of storytelling so that was a one up on Guza who I never got that impression. But starting off straightaway with the OLTL crossover without at least tackling GH is my major complaint. its not a bad concept to crossover but personally? I think this will be more about OLTL down the pike...the crossover characters will not stop; Tea isn't the last. I was surprised discovering there are a lot of GH fans who did not watch OLTL (like me) & vice versa. The ones I'm coming across are not that enthused re: the crossover but are still watching the show.

He edits too he tweeted a couple of weeks ago that he just spent 10 hours editing & I tweeted back I didn't know you edited too I have to check to see if he replied sometimes he does.

We got lots of Sonny mommy issues back when Ric first came to town before they redeemed Ric a/k/a turned him into an excruciating bore by pairing him with another excruciating bore, Alexis. I would like to be able to erase from my memory the scenes where Sonny and Ric were in Martha's Vineyard when Sonny threw Ric down the stairs repeatedly. Ric was nothing but Sonny's mommy issues. So was Mike Corbin, for that matter. Lieutenant Taggert sometimes entertained us with Sonny's mommy issues.

Even though Sonny never did a damn thing to rid himself of those issues except get drunk and throw barware, we spent a ton of time watching him go through them. I think we were supposed to be seeing the human side of Sonny instead of the monster. Sonny will always have the ghost of Karen Wexler looming over his shoulder no matter what they do with him.

Karen, she died via car accident on PC didn't she? Don't you mean Lily and the baby? They didnt really address it under Ric just used it as an excuse for Ric to be mad at Sonny. I'm talking about instead of Deke flashbacks al lthe time, finally having Sonny sit down, realize his mother wasn't a siant and couldn't stand on her own two feet and that he's just like her in that aspect.

Karen may have died on PC, but on GH she was a teen, the daughter of Scott Baldwin, when Sonny got her hooked on drugs and got her to strip in his club. That was before they decided to put a coat of polish on Sonny and make him all shiny and new.

I wish that they never aknowledged Karen's death on GH. I do not think the Baldwins appeared on GH to mourne her.

By this time, GH and PC were so far removed in terms of continuity. With cancellation of PC an innevitablity, Karen would have fit back in the GH canvas well for being pretty far removed from the supernatural stories. It would also have given the character of Scotty more viability and dramatic foil to his destructive streak.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?
