Laura would be an interesting character to bring back. she jas been gone so long, she would come back as a different character. much like a pairing between Colby/Jamie, I think pairing her with JR would work and would add some tension to their parents' relationship.

This isn't about not wanting the actors to succeed or bashing them ... This is about wanting a good show.

Actors don't always seem green when they first come on a soap straight out of school. There are plenty of solid actors who have been good from when they debuted on a soap. The new JJ on Days and the new Morgan on GH have both been good so far. Tyler Baker (that was his name then) made an impact in 1996 and convinced right away as Prince Nikolas on GH without having much acting training I believe. On AMC, I liked Sam Page and Jonathan Bennett right away in 2002.

Besides that, it was the show's choice to thrust the newbies front and center instead of letting them develop with smaller stories first. That's not the actors' fault, but it's also not something to give a free pass to the show for.

As for Daniel Covin, I've actually found him convincing as Hunter too.

I actually think Laura would be a good choice because she is not biologically connected to the Chandlers, Cortlandts or Martins, so she has more opportunities to mix up romantically.

And yes, JR and Laura could definitely cause some friction between Adam and Brooke.

Although I think that Brooke's offer that David can't refuse will also do that somehow as well - Brooke once shot a man in the back four times at the mere mention of harming Jamie - I think she might be able to relate a little too much to Adam's liking to David pulling the trigger on JR after what happened to Marissa.

Angie went to live with Cassandra in California for a few months when Debbi Morgan had her real-life health issue during the blindness/pregnancy storyline. Cassandra was not seen on-screen though.

About David, yes the town is back to all hating on him again, which is annoying, but at least Angie is not joining in on it this time.

I think bringing back Laura now would be a good idea.

Of course, I had also believed that Tamara Braun should have been cast as Laura instead of creating a whole new character for Bianca. I thought a marriage between Laura/Bianca would have been such an easy storyline to write as all the different issues this could cause would have been evident. Hell just marrying the daughters of Brooke English and Erica Kane is a story that should write itself.

I think if you bring back Laura now, she should definitely be mixing it up with JR and Bianca. She could come back as a lawyer since there is no lawyer in town at the moment. She could be brought back to help Brooke with some legal matter involving Chandler. JR could definitely try using her to help him try to reclaim Chandler or hell maybe she and JR work together.

Hmmm...I think it is just the opposite. I dont see her relating to him. I see her wanting to keep him away from the people she loves (Adam and AJ) and the people she cares for (Dixie and JR). To that end, I think she offers him a quid pro quo along the lines of her getting his medical license back in exchange for him staying away from her family (i.e. AJ) that will make Adam love her all the more.

JMO, though.

Me neither! It's one thing to watch a performer grow into or hone her craft. As I've said before, however, there has to be something there at the beginning beyond a big butt and a smile.

And I happen to think the contract kids on AMC are all pretty solid, so I'm not sure what this argument is about. I sure as hell would rather watch them than the GH kids at the moment. And that poor boy on DAYS is stuck on a terrible show.

    • If this is posted, I can't find it. It has Vincent Irrizarry and other fan favorites.    https://www.soapkast.com/montecito/episodes/
    • In general, per Jason47's productionschedule estimate, most of what's airing now would have been filmed in late August 2024. But, as Jason himself would say, that's just an estimated average. As we all know, DAYS stuff is filmed out of order by several weeks and sometimes months depending on availability of recurring cast, guest stars, or especially if there is a specific set they want to use for a bunch of scenes that will air at different times. Per the JPI Studios photography info on some spoiler pics released... (film date shown within original URLs of one pic from SOD and a few from MichaelFairman) One scene that aired Tues May 20 was filmed Sept. 20, 2024. Some scenes airing Fri May 23 were filmed Sept 11th, 2024.   Per his IG, Leo Howard got married Sept. 9, 2024 in California.  So maybe he took some time off for that?   Or maybe it's just coincidental timing and completely unrelated.  As I said, some of what's airing in May was filmed in late August. It's so hard to say with everything being filmed out of order.
    • All I'm going to say is I hope Sawandi Wilson was acting in that dance routine because he one of the most rhythmless...... well you know the rest.

    • I'm like a week behind, did the special ep have old clips or just talking?   Let me guess, Lauren and Michael who totally have their own home, decided to get a room at the GCAC...

      Even though I read the spoilers, I was a little surprised that Days went there Ari and Doug III. I won't say it's out of character for Doug III but I didn't expect it when he first heard it was happening. I'm interested in seeing where they go from here. I hope Tate finds out somehow and tells Holly about it. That could be a pretty good mess. But at the same time, their scenes felt rushed. We should have seen more of Ari and Doug III both at the Bar and at the Salem Inn  Doug III looked hot though. And Ari got to have scenes with Marlena too. I really hope that Days establishes a relationship between the two of them. I'd love to see it play out onscreen. And we got an update about Will and Sonny. But again, all this talk about John  I enjoyed the Holly/Doug III scenes too. I liked the way that she helped him today and comforted him about everything that happened with Julie. I'm curious to see how he's going to make things right with her. Belle is dumb but I always love the sibling scenes between her and Brady. I like that they have each other to talk to about how messy their lives are. And I actually don't mind Belle being dumb. I actually find it to be pretty interesting. Surprisingly, she seems messier than Shawn. Btw, now I'm starting to wonder if Tate being sick actually is gonna mean something. Or if Leo Howard just needed some time off. As for Shawn and Steve, their scenes didn't do much for me until the end of the episode. It set things up for tomorrow and I can't wait to see it. Brandon Beemer actually did a pretty good job too. As for the final scene... Idk.

    • per the description on the official GH youtube account, from the clip posted above:  the character Gio was performing "Glow", an original piece that the actor Giovanni Mazza co-wrote and released when he was only 12 years old.
    • I think what they're doing with Hayley being isolated with Bill goes back to when he wanted her to quit her job at the firm and become a “Real Housewife of Fairmont Crest.” But we've seen she hasn’t, so she should be out there mingling—maybe with Caroline—or deciding to join some league or chapter, involving Dani, Anita, or Nicole. I also wouldn’t mind seeing her in more scenes with Derek, since she’s one of the few people who can make him tolerable and less dull. Or what if she bonds with Eva? They’re both outsiders in the community and constantly made to feel like trash by the Duprees.   I’d love to have my theory finally come to light—that Leslie’s mother is actually Sharon. Maybe Leslie is bitter toward Nicole and the rest of the Duprees because she believes her mother should’ve had the kind of fame and fortune Anita has if things had gone differently, especially if her mother had the vocals—i.e. Dreamgirls, Effie. I remember Leslie saying she listened to the Articulettes growing up, and she also mentioned she lived in Chicago—where, guess what? The Articulettes are from.
    • Ranger, will you be his champion?! Tell Dante to back the he&l off? Be there for him in the coming days when he is going to be furious & possibly turn his back on the Cerullos & the Qs & show up at Sonny's door looking for a new place to park his weary head? As for me, I watched the NB every year even when I wasn't watching GH. Many years have been disappointing. So far this year is amazingly satisfying. Clothes! Performers! Drama!  So ironic that they actually have Cam doing what we always said he should be doing, emcee, tux, mic, huge toothy grin! Snark! Could they possibly throw any more shade? Nooo! This is like 100% attitude coming from all directions. You could say I died & went to heaven. Gimme all this high school talent show soapy goodness, I mean, it's only 4 days, what kind of wimp are you, anyway? As soap fans, we are supposed to enjoy these occasional flights of fancy. Maybe you aren't, but I sure as he&l am! And, I won't let any Debbie Downers ruin it for me, either. This brief early morning message was brought to you by the letter N for what else Nurses Ball. Edit to add: Didn't we see Sawandi really dancing in a preview?!!! And, as a Kristina lover, I think we are def headed to either Ferncliff or some other similar facility. Meanwhile Mansi & NLG their scenes yesterday AMAZING, that's acting. The point being that y'all Kristina haters are gonna get your way.
