I meant to comment on that line 'The concubine and her sassy gay'. Loved it. Britt's quickly becoming a favorite of mine but how this entire storyline ends up is entirely predictable. As are most of Ron's stories.

Remember what he said way back...pregnant storylines he always knew where they were going or ending but the rest he never did....lol

it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't true. I'd roll my eyes more if she said this about Brad but its spot on for Felix who is nothing more than Sabrina's sassy gay sidekick

Sidekick? Too high a ranking. Felix is Sabrina's manbitch! He has been on 5 consecutive eppies moaning about Patty and Sabrina while trying to fix their problem with Britta, the problem Patty created by screwing her in the first place!

I don't have much of a commentary today, but I was completely saddened by how cheap the show looked yesterday. The lighting and sets were just cheap! Makes me truly sad!

Glad you guys got some enjoyment out of Dr. O. When she appeared in the black Fedora a few months ago, I was overjoyed to see this villain on my screen. She quickly became a cartoon. Her ridiculous accent and bad acting certainly distracts you from what a cartoon she really is. There is nothing I find entertaining in this woman, and I hope she accidentally blows herself up just like any other cartoon character, but with my luck, she will walk from the dust with an acme bandage and continue. Ugh!

She's so bad that she is so fun to watch....lol

Cartoonish should be Ron's middle name....I remember OLTL being such as cartoonish during his pen.

That was my favorite line of dialogue. It happens to be true: all he is is the sassy gay sidekick.

It's just so stale. It's like trying to be hip circa 3-4 years ago, when those videos on Youtube started, the sassy gay friend videos.

I am little confused about which actors are actually on contract with this gigantic cast. Namely Genie Francis and Ian Buchanan. Are they both on contract? They are such big names, I doubt they would do recurring, but they are not in the opening.

That short opening is hardly representative of contract status

Why wouldn't IB and GF do recurring? They aren't that big especially not in this day and age of budget cuts, soap cancellations and shrinking market. Both are lucky to have a job. I believe I read GF is contract but IB is recurring which seems about right for him as he's barely used.

Neither are on contract, and hopefully, that will NEVER change!

Genie Francis is on contract. She's listed with the contract cast on the call times and in the credits at the end of the show.

Ian Buchanan isn't on contract.

I've never had the privilege of working on a set in any capacity, so I envy you both. But answer a question for me, please. Were the long hours due to BTS being an unorganized mess or was it the conditions (weather, moving about from one scene/location to another) and perhaps the movie itself which required long hours?

You see, for me, the problem is not that JL said what she said. It's the fact that what she said is absolutely the truth as evidenced by the schlock that actually makes it onto the air.

No, it's just usually the way film sets go. Like Mr. Vixen said, it's not unusual to spent hours and hours rehearsing, blocking, and prepping for one or two scenes and then you can end up filming those scene innumerable times. That results in massive amounts of downtime for a lot people on set and a lot of people do end up just sitting around for hours and hours.

From what I know about how GH runs and films, what happened with Kelly Sullivan that day is a very rare example. They tape by set and people are 90% of the time only on one set per day, and usually you show up a few hours before your call time and then leave right after. She was probably on set all day because it was the last day before GH went dark for two weeks and they were block taping several episodes over the day to make up for the taping time they're going to lose over the dark weeks.

And yet she still isn't in the opening credits

Neither are Lisa LoCicero, John J York, Kelly Thiebaud, Jimmy Deshler, Tequan Richmond, and whatever their names are that play Felix and Sabrina and they're all on contract too

Yeah I wonder why?? And yet RH, ME and KA get updated pics... Unless they plan on adding them on later

Genie tweeted that she is NOT on contract just yet. I saw it Sunday on the GH TL.

ETA: I cannot find the tweet, but I could swear I read that when everyone was speaking of the FCW. Perhaps it was wishful thinking, but I don't think so.

I saw that. It was from someone at her fan event at fan club weekend. Someone else said later that she said she didn't know if they were ever going to offer her a long term contract which is probably what she meant when she was talking about a contract

She's been on a short term contract since she came back and they keep extending it but I don't think she's signed a long term deal.

Anyway, her call times on listed on the contract line when you call the studio, she's listed with the contract cast in the credits, and she's listed as contract on GH's official master cast taping list, so she has some sort of contract.

I see. Thanks for clearing that up.
