For once we agree. The heart and soul of OLTL lives on. I don't think for a second RankenFron think these actors or their former characters are the heart and soul of OLTL. And they really have enough problems, they shouldn't be wasting valuable screentime taking pot shots at a show they damaged. Gtfoverit.

From fans of the current GH to non fans, nearly everyone I know seems to feel the canvas is probably too large right now anyway. Concentrate on that. Don't get me wrong--I love a soap that's rich in recurring characters and a sense of community they bring--but that's not the same as introducing a character or bringing back a fave character, putting them in an instant story, and then featuring it every ten episodes.

I think one reason is Frank is much more careful about his public persona (frankly how I think a soap exec or HW--love or hate their work, should be.) Both in interviews but especially since he doesn't tweet the way Ron does. I am having a hard time thinking of any TV show exec who has behaved that way *while writing the show* (I can think of ones who complained about fan comments long after their time at a show, but for whatever reason that seems less childish to me.)

How convenient that now that she is done with her party, Lucy can find time to give a damn about Rafe.

Does anyone even give a damn about this new Connie?

So what's the status on Stavros? Is he dead again, prison...? This could have had potential but what an awful return

Ellie is annoying me again. She needs to mind her damn business

Not a fan of him but I like Spinelli's friendship with Sam. That work well together. BTW, Danny was super cute

LOL at all the digs, Heather got in when she was going off on Spinelli

I thought if anyone enjoyed this slipshod "writing" for this clown, it'd be you. TIIC backed into Connie being the host, something she always was, but before that, she was this infuriating rape joke sluggette taking over Kate's life. In any event, the noncharacter is not needed on GH. However, she's a FRon pet, so we are stuck with her. Hope Carly doesn't share scenes with her too often. I'd be depressed if I were forced to watch that POS!

It's absolutely insane! Why not just keep Brenda (I can't believe I just typed that)?

Listening to that clown bitch give a 30 second monologue on mental illness was painful when the whole thing has been laughable from the word go! What's the backstory again?

I can't really blame her. I'd pick a party over that whiny waste of space in a heartbeat.

This cast is way too bloated. I'm happy this canvas consists of more than Sonny, Jason, Sam and the Horse, but there are just way too many people all over the place involved in way too much.

Girl, I didn't give a damn about the old one so I definitely don't give two craps and a biscuit about this one.

    • I remember seeing him briefly when Rick went to confront her about her blackmailing him. (I briefly forgot that Rick's sleeping with Claire at this time was a retcon - or her lying that she slept with him, whatever that story was). I wonder if he interacted with Kurt given that Mark Lewis later took his ATWT role. I tried to watch some of the full episode and it was all so alien and uninvolving. Roxy having a meltdown on that construction site for Mindy and Kurt's house that never gets built. Ed with Ross and Vanessa dealing with custody issues. Even Ross and Vanessa seemed flat, with Vanessa seeming oddly meek.
    • She did. It was during a party at Amanda's. She didn't literally throw herself at him, but she was subtly coming on to him and he quickly shut her down. Yes, I remember she not only made a pass at Justin, she convinced Jackie that he was harassing her sexually. She also tried to convince Sara that he was pestering her. Everyone banged Josh back then, LOL. Whoa. I must have missed a good chunk of this first time around because I don't remember Reva going to India.  What I recall is Harley being a nanny to the kids and then Reva driving off the bridge. Then they kind of toyed with the idea of Josh and Harley getting together but I don't think that ever happened. Yes, that all happens but I don't recall the tumor. Maybe that's coming up soon with the videos being uploaded to Spauldingfield. The last one I watched, she was planning to vamp Kyle while taking care of the pregnant Maeve.
    • I am a little disappointed that the show will be writing Jenn as in the wrong for her not liking Cat, when she's actually in the right.  Maybe if Cat was played by a competent actress and had a purpose, I would be more behind this propping of the character. And I can't wait for the funeral for John Black to be over and then we can proceed and move on.  
    • I'm not sure if the boy Carrie 2 seduced (I think his name was Ron) was still in high school or in college, but I remember he was very shy. I don't recall her making a pass at Alan, but she did make one at Justin, and she ended up banging Josh. I think there was an out of town business man too. Reva thought Josh and Vanessa were having an affair. Vanessa had just been fired by Roger, and when Reva took off to India, Van started helping Josh with the children. He then hired Van to work at Lewis. She would hear him on a business call with Van and think they were arranging a tryst. Or they sat too close together on the couch, so of course they were hiding an affair from her. It was very weird and blew up really quick.  It culminated at the party Reva was throwing at the club to introduce Dylan to Justin. Reva imagined everyone whispering about her and then she dumped a tray of drinks on Vanessa. When Vanessa hauled her into the ladies room to ask WTF, Reva accuses them of having an affair, asks if Van's pregnant, and then knocks her to the floor. I do think Claire had a tumor. I know around Valentine's day, Claire is making passes at a young businessman (or maybe even someone college age), and Ross (Van kinda pushed her at him because she's not keen on Calla). There's also a young intern played by Burke Moses that I think she sleeps with.
    • Congratulations to Carlos Alcaraz on his second win at the French Open!

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
