So, typical GH incompetence? Honestly, soap audiences - at least by way of thinking from TPTB - are stuck in the 1950s. Conservative.
At least, that's my impression since this show likes to give the appearance of progressive behavior but actually playing it safe.
Meaning, Kristina can be sexually fluid/bi/gay (the show has gone all over the place), but in the end, no real story. And when there is a glimmer, it gets jettisoned fast. (Bye, Blaze!)
So, the only way Kristina (and Lucas) was to ever be a lead is if the show had just left her straight. To be clear? I have no problem with representation. It's needed, but the current crop of writers and their inability or lack of interest to write Kristina as a fleshed-out person with her own love life (it's a soap!) has left her with crumbs. Frank wanting the accolades of representation, without having the spine to carry through.
But I imagine that's de rigueur for all of the remaining soaps. At least US soaps.
That said, I've never been much of a Kate Mansi fan, but I wish her well. Wonder if Lexi Ainsworth would make a return? (But again, for crumbs? She'd be better off staying away.)
