She's irrelevant to GH. 5 years from now when her name is mentioned in relation to GH, most people will go who? Heck people are doing that now. She hardly matters and I doubt she will leave her stamp on the show as a memorable performer

Oddly, in my "real life" I do know some people who really like the actress... And it's all due to Dancing with the Stars--they don't watch soaps (which I find odd, as I found her kinda unpleasant on the episodes of Stars I've seen with her.) It's funny though, to them they assume, and have asked me, that she's some Susan Lucci level soap superstar, and always seem shocked that I'm not really a fan one way or the other.

Still, she's hardly one of my major concerns with the current state of the show.

Interesting words from Jen Lilley about GH

WE LOVE SOAPS: Fun! Having worked in daytime before [at GH], was the routine similar or were there big differences coming to DAYS?
JEN LILLEY: The routine is different. No offense to GENERAL HOSPITAL but DAYS OF OUR LIVES has it a lot more together. On GH I became close with Kelly Sullivan. She texted me this morning and said she was the first one up and the last out. She was going to be there until 9 p.m. on a Friday.

WE LOVE SOAPS: And it's her last day [taping at GENERAL HOSPITAL].
JEN LILLEY: Yes, her last day. At DAYS OF OUR LIVES everything is very organized. We get out by 5:45 p.m. pretty much every night. The latest we go is 6. That's really amazing and I appreciate that especially for the crew. I love the camera people and everybody that works behind the scenes. I feel like their job is so much harder than mine.

So I appreciate how organized it is here, but other than that, it's going home and memorizing. There's more of a routine over here.

    • It reminded me of what the Pollocks got away with all the time on THE DOCTORS: long ass flashbacks that don't really add anything to the scene except time.  Because, if you remove the flashback, what's left?  Monica finishes packing Alan's suitcase.  That's it, lol. Oh, well.  At least I got to see a young Patricia Elliott (ex-Renee, OLTL) in that Aim toothpaste commercial (not to mention, a shirtless James O'Sullivan (ex-Jeff, AMC; ex-Pete, OLTL) in the commercial for One-a-Day vitamins, lol).
    • Well, I can't help but think it would've been written different with CB still there
    • I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work. I'd forgotten she even did Netflix's One Day at a Time.
    • IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict. 
    • Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.   
    • Boxer-briefs, huh?   Well...called it on Cane/Giggly Heffa hooking up so not surprised.
    • Do you have Addie’s first air date??
    • Even now Victor is always so warm with Ashley. I liked their brief re-pairing as well.
    • @depboy Thanks. That does help. @titan1978 @Paul Raven Really enjoying the analysis of the production methods and what Monty was doing.  I wish we got some of those biopics here that a few UK soaps got as a biopic on Monty's first few years at GH would be fascinating.
