Both ends are being ridiculous, but in regards to the ads? Is ABC not showing any or backing out of those that would heavily feature a GH actor? That's not very unreasonable to want to pull out of that, but depending on the language in the contract, ABC would lose a considerable amount of money if they back out of Todd promos.

Depending on who you ask, that's not really petty. It's just a company not wanting to promote something that is competing with its own product. This particular outcome may be unfavorable to ABC, but it makes sense.

I work for a law firm (marketing department) and while I wouldn't call that the most bizarre legal document I've ever read (not even close), I will say that it could probably have benefited from some editing.

I wonder what jackass said this

The complaint claims that “at least one ABC executive” involved in the decisions to how to handle OLTL actors on GH, “has openly declared his desire to see Prospect fail” and suggests that the network’s actions may be driven by “a basic fear of embarrassment if Prospect succeeds.

Those are the ones who like to say he's not Todd cause clearly Roger was enjoying himself and is very good at ad libbing stuff. They like to ignore that Todd was tortured for 8 years and isn't going to be the same person he was lol

You are the real crazy here!! I like to make people laugh (though some don't understand my humor but that is there issue, not mine) while you like to insult.

Like I said, I was surprised that they agreed to the ads in the ifrst place--but re RH being in them, I guess originally they thought Todd would spend a month there and then come back to GH so no big deal? I dunno...

And had absolutely no idea until now that Cope and Victor Jr. was dead until recently and that the characters were not in the limited roles they agreed to? You don't believe that any more than I do.

I wonder if this will be introduced into evidence during the trial: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BFLatsICYAEiBnu.png:large … #badryan #justsayin

@Jamey_Giddens Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I will prove that ABC caused deep emotional damage by pairing Todd w/ Carly.
LMAO well it certainly caused deep emotional damage to a certain actress who shall remain nameless for my protection. ;)

    • He definitely had it going on back in the day
    • I have long given up on logic and Mayor Laura Collins! It makes about as much sense as Luke being elected mayor over Lee Baldwin in the 80’s, maybe even less sense. She committed manslaughter as a teenager, was involved with a mobster (I guess credit for them taking Smith down), had a shoot out in her home and killed another mobster in self defense, thought she bludgeoned her stepfather to death, then was catatonic for years. Her current husband had a twin that was a serial killer, had his own breakdown that threatened lives, and most recently hid his brother for treatment and that allowed Ryan to escape and kill again. And had hook killer Esme as a houseguest and is raising her child. I don’t care for Sonny anymore but their relationship is just another thing that involves suspension of belief to watch the show. I wish someone on this show would remind these adults that they used to pull way worse stuff than this! I would love a scene where Laura is sitting with Lulu and tells her while she is not happy this is nothing compared to what she got up to when she was young, and maybe even some understanding that she would also do stupid stuff if she believed in the cause. Olivia reminding Dante that he was wild as a teen and this isn’t that. Felicia reminding Anna that they were being shot at when pretty close to Emma’s age. These characterizations are just so basic. Have some fun with the actual history of the show. That kind of wink would mean more to me than just name dropping some random fact.
    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
