Was there something that said Destiny was always supposed to be plus sized? Yeah PP could have gotten someone closer to SE but they didn't. They decided to go in another direction and revamp the character. I won't comment on that sugar baby thing until I see it play out. Frankly if LH has any kind of range then she's superior to SE.

No there wasnt & SE in real life has lost a good amount of weight. Im so pissed at these "Fans" Giving all these actors [!@#$%^&*] cause they aint the originals. Just be happy the shows are back & wait to see how they handle the stories. Bashing on looks is beyond the dumbest thing ever

Its easy to just say Destiny got lapband. I hope her weight is addressed bc its quite jarring.

Just watched this GEM and I hope the shows will become successful to bring this show back

I am one of the top Loving/The City fanatics on this site, but... It's never gonna happen.

(Although if it did--they would just have to deal with Agnes Nixon--to the best of my knowledge she still owns the shows.) Someone--SFK I believe, had a fun idea for a The City update to work on PP, though.

I too was a big Loving/The City fan and almost boycott Port Charles when The City was cancelled. Of course I realized how ridiculous I was being and the thought of watching another soap from the beginning was too hard to pass up. But I must admit I love it that AMC & OLTL are only 30 minutes. That was one of the appeals for me with Loving and The City. I truly believe they are both going to be a HUGE SUCCESS :-)

from Soap Opera Digest.OLTL is casting a male character currently named Rich. He's going to caucasian and in his 30/40s.Rich will also be a handsome and confident businessman who enjoys being in the company of younger women.The role will be a recurring one.

Hello Destiny's Sugar Daddy! I hope he mixes it up with Clint and BE.

Haha! They could pull a Karen Wolek and have him be a part of the established upper class established successful males in the show.

One thing I always LOL about casting calls for soaps (this probably is true for most TV actually, at least American) is how they *almost* always feel the need to make sure that the description reads "handsome," "attractive," "beautiful," or "sexy." Unless the role actually calls for someone disfigured or something. You'd think they'd get it by now...

GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread

Ahh I see, ok makes sense... not that I like it, but that makes sense haha.
So that makes me wonder - when Kate Mansi directed Tuesday's show, does that mean she only directed a few of the scenes that episode and not all? Makes me wonder how the directing/writing credits get assigned in that model.

I just found out (from a reddit post) that Robin Strasser returns on February 16, 1993. That soon. I can't believe my time with Elaine is ending. It's soooo disappointing to see her go after all she's done with and for the character. She WAS Dorian. Being center stage almost half of 1992 makes it hard to believe they are replacing her. The character grew so much - facing Blair and Addie/going back to her childhood/re-experiencing past trauma. I wish I could read an interview from that time to understand her feelings after leaving. If one even exists.
I've been watching the German 1982 episodes and enjoy RS's Dorian... A LOT... she does have a different energy. RS's Dorian feels more pretentious and self-absorbed (and a little bit adorable)... while EP's Dorian was darker, moodier, a bit like a broken bird... I like both. I can't say which is better, but I connect more with EP's Dorian. Maybe I'll change my mind when I start watching RS in English. (I can't judge properly when it's dubbed over in german.)

The show is assembled from taped scenes out of order and the episodes recreated like a puzzle. So B and C stories, and ones not featuring pets or Frank’s personal favorites at that time, get dropped for weeks sometimes, or get shoehorned in as an afterthought. It did not used to be so obvious, and it is slightly better at times now. But it’s been a pattern for awhile now.
As has a bored Valentini interrupting the flow of stories and changing almost everything quickly, dropping months of plots/couples and often never returning to them. The fast pace they were running on when Rory arrived as the recast really covered the seams a lot too, but something changed with the Ronnie story and Britt return as far as momentum, so we are seeing more of the cracks in the way they assemble the show.

Yep - she acted on GL for a year in the early 80s.

I'm noticing there are some issues with follow-through/up on this show. Like Ric being drugged/tortured by Alexis/Ava - after all that, we just sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen? Same with Ned's heart attack - I guess this was just a fast plot point to move other things along, but we're not really supposed to care how he is? We haven't seen him or Olivia since he got to the hospital...
Otherwise, there are fun things I like about the show. It moves quickly, so it's not boring like others. The sets are amazing, and they have so many... probably the best I've seen in current times. Great acting generally.

For the purposes of this thread I think this is cool information to have compiled, but not quite the same as actors that fully transitioned or wrote for other characters while also still acting in the show. Although I know Rowell was instrumental in stories too, and Bill Bell had a lot of respect for her ideas.
I mean Finola/Tristan/Kimberly improvised whole scenes, rewrote dialogue, etc. Tony Geary was famous for this too. And as I said earlier, Geary and his writing partner wrote two story treatments that GH accepted and used with the writing team to develop them. The Luke & Laura returns story, and the horrible Cassadine Endgame, which Geary said had virtually zero in common with what they presented and sold to ABC. Genie Francis came up with the idea of a baby Laura left behind that Wendy Riche and Guza used later on.
Wasn’t Megan McTavish a performer on soaps before she wrote as well? And I just recalled that Pam Long wrote and acted on Texas when the show was winding down.

I’m not gonna lie today was pretty good! Gina dragging Phyllis for the filth she is and Nina and Amy (glad to see her mix it up with more people) making it clear how much they detest Cane for everything! I even got a laugh over Esther being the culprit of the mums being sent to Christine to cause her allergic reaction.

Has Patty Weaver retired from singing IRL? My heart sank a little when Gina said she was a former singer. I guess I was kind of hoping she was gonna serenade them like she did at their first wedding with “starting here, starting now”
