I haven't been watching since mid-March (as I'll be tuning back in via YT in a week when

) so all I've been commenting on is online hearsay about the show. From what I saw back then, Starr wasn't wheezing one bit and was fine to me.

As for "gossipy Black dayplayer"? Why am I not surprised that Ron tried to bring in a Benita Butrell to the show? Much as I've enjoyed Ron's camptasticness, he is absolutely shitty when it comes to the portrayal of Black female characters (Vivian, being the exception).

I understand that soaps play with ages, but they usually blur out actual dates. Aren't Sonny, Kate and Olivia the same age? So how old is Dante? That really bothers me for some reason.

Anyway, can anyone explain how wild child, hellraiser Benson Hurst Connie got into Yale? I think its Yale, since she stopped in Connecticut. I guess I'm just trying to figure out the backstory of this character.

You get very passionate about defending RC's writing of the GH and go on about how its much better than before....yet you havent even been watching it for yourself.

Funny you say that bc a couple of months ago, Starr didnt even have a year on her license. Yes they are all about the same age, at least within a year of each other. Dante is in his late 20s, possibly even 30 by now/ The Bensonhurst crew should all be at least in their mid 40s, not late 30s

Sounds like rewriting of her history.They are trying to say that Kate was like this when she was a teen and only changed when she decided to change her identity, but as far as I know, she was never described as this crude, obnoxious, wild bitch.

They did this with "Teen Jess" too. Supposedly the trauma of the electric shock combined with Mitch's attempted rape made Jess forget everything after she was in high school and in love with Cris. But "Teen" Jess acted nothing like the Teen Jess we all saw grow up on the show. It was ridiculous. Young Jess never schemed to get a man, among other things. It's just a device to allow these characters to do the most outlandish things Ron can conceive. It doesn't have to make sense. So much of his plot point writing never does.

otherwise known as the storyline I found so offensive that i dropped the show. They were really insulting our intelligence as viewers with that crap. I hated how the chracters almost acted like it was normal and just allowed her early 30s ass enroll in highschool and scheme to get her teacher. Yeah bc Jessica was really like that when she was a teen wacko.png . I couldnt even bother with that crap bc it was beyond stupid

    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
    • Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
