Soaps have had a long, proud tradition of using theater people since Harding Lemay and Another World. Theater is not the problem and many shows, from AW to OLTL, used stage stars to great effect time and again.

I think Kelly Sullivan started this DID story okay, when they had dark scenes like the one on the docks in the bloody dress. She was like a live nerve. I think she's talented. But the story has become such campy trash, and while she's easily more talented than Bree Williamson (who did the Jessica DID stories on OLTL), you can only do so much with nonstop camp without becoming completely over the top, and she has. The character - both Kate and Connie - is a cartoon now and has been for awhile. Whenever we see Kate now she is basically OLTL's Jessica, long, bedraggled hair, whispery voice, weak and weepy. That was never Kate Howard. At least when Sullivan came onto GH she was able to make that ice queen act work. Now even her Kate is unrecognizable. I don't blame her. I blame the writing that took her character and performance to kookytown.

And yes - I think could make a DID story work better.

I recall when Valentini hired Renee Goldsberry after seeing her on broadway in Lion King; totally agree about the Konnie character it seemed they tried to make her more sympathetic in Monday's eppy with her scenes w/Johnny talking about the rape but I'm still waiting for someone to get her off her high horse;

she's arrogant, and needs to be taken down a peg or two. Yes, she gets some snappy dialog but overall I'm tirng of her campy antics it needs to be toned down. I just don't find D.I.D. storylines that entertaining and I'm hoping they don't slap another persona on her.... "Bonnie." I preferred Megan' version of Kate but w/Ron's writing who knows how that would have turned out as Konnie.,

enjoyed :Monday's eppy though showcasing the vets; still hoping they do something different w/AJ (to win even after Sonny/Carly's scenes putting him down...again) making another pact.

Wow, making Sabrina, Juan's cousin is so random.

One thing I have to say that this show uses flashbacks effectively. I think they've done a great job with this in the past few weeks. Im talking the old flashbacks and not the stuff that happened a week ago

Wow the last Nurses Ball was 2001? Dang, cant beleive its been so long. I cant stand Sabrina and not liking that she's being used to bring this back

Ellie: "Im not acquantied with Maxie's wrench murdering husband" laugh.png So she wants to live in a Brownstone....wonder if Bobbie will lease to her

ETA: Guess not

I don't even remember JL's Maxie giving her apartment up. Why did she?

They should be showing flashbacks of Elizabeth at the Nurses' Ball

bc it reminded her of Matt. Plus she decided to move in with Patrick to help him and Emma during his drug problem

I wholeheartedly agree they are using flashbacks very effectively parallel with the scene has been quite well done; enjoyed Monica/Alan's.

I'm still mad that was her heaven. Really Lily's heaven is being nanny to Sonny's brats?

They're returning in Armageddon, flying on wings of pure fire, to skin Sonny alive.

You guys Lily has been alive all this time. She was burned badly and had to have reconstructive surgery. She's been living under an alias all this time, hiding from the mob.

That alias?

Tea Delgado.

I'm sure they've worn Lily down to the point where she would gladly give them back.

She just gives them plastic barware to amuse themselves with.

Then, who has A.J. been keeping alive in that Swiss sanitarium, and who does he plan on bringing to Sonny's next wedding?

Sonny's sister, Courtney (now played by Terri Conn).

Remember the pointless doppelganger character Lilly Melgar played, hired by Alcazar to [!@#$%^&*] with Sonny?
