I liked Thursday and Friday episodes a lot. I didn't care for the Franco/Kevin and Scotty/Lucy scenes though. These episodes felt like a real, traditional soap opera.

Unpopular opinion 1: I am sorry to see Spinelli and Ellie go. The Oregon people should have offered Felix a job first. Spinelli as a roomate makes Sam more fun.

Unpopular opinion 2: Michael Easton is very cute when he is trying to smile.

Unpopular opinion 3: I don't mind seeing Molly, Rafe, TJ (who should be Tom Hardy's son) and Taylor once a month because they don't really such a big storyline. Molly should share more scenes with her family and Rafe could be seen with Silas a little more, but other than that the show had more interesting things to cover than Rafe and Taylor faking a relationship.

Sonny and Spencer were adorable. I like Sonny in scenes where he is not playing mob wars with an exhibitionist.

Do Molly and Rafe have any fans?

Believe it or not, they do have a following

Every pairing has a ship. Sonny and Emily? Well, that was more like a dinghy, but still. Waif and anyone is tragic. This guy could not be more vanilla if he tried. Even when he was calling out TJ/Molly, it was so poorly delivered. He's a waste of space. I think they should scrap this teen set and build an older teen set/younger 20s set starting with Taylor and Morgan [assuming he can be fixed].

Agree 100% Very traditional and looked like someone finally had a clue of what a soap was! However, I only hated Kevin and whatshisface because RH is an !@#$%^&*] clown who places no value on the show and swears he's the funniest most unique performer to ever (dis)grace Daytime! I loved the idea of counseling and hot ass Kevin, but RH, once again, gave the audience the finger.

Sonny and The Naked Mobster is laughable!

BTW, wasn't Shawn some sort of teacher or science professor or something at one point? Doesn't he have those credentials under his belt? And yet all he does for a living is run Kelly's and not kill people for Sonny as "The Black Guy I Had To Hire When Jason Died".

It's not that I can't understand Shawn doing this kind of wetwork - he has a background in that. But he was also supposedly tormented by those years. While I believe what he told Alexis when they split - about needing the rush - it should be something he struggles against, that he tries to better himself past; it should be an ongoing thread as he tries to go back into his civilian line of work that he's passionate about. Instead they've got the one contract(?) black male on the show raising a young man while they both know he makes his money as a mob enforcer, and they act like it's no big thing. It's such a lousy use of Sean Blakemore.

PREACH! The misuse of Shawn grates my every last nerve. It's just blatantly offensive in every way. I'd rather seem him fired than kept in this capacity and I'm shocked Sean hasn't ran from the set as fast as he could. Doesn't he care about how African Americans are portrayed and utilized in the entertainment industry? Someone has to cause the writers sure don't. Reminds me of when Tika had enough on OLTL and now I see her landing job after job. Bless her. And for the record, Tequan and Marc are also on contract.

Molly and Rafe have a large fanbase.

Every couple of months when someone mentions Rafe, I have to do a mental inventory to figure out who the heck that person is talking about. Then I'm like "Oh yeah, that kid with the blue eyes. I'd forgotten all about him". It's happened like three times now.

Why is GH twitter always so crazy? Valentin gate was something else

https://twitter.com/mattieborlenghi

It certainly was... I do think they should bring Valentin to town

What does MB mean by saying he got Franco'd on his first day?

I didn't even remember him on GH. It was kind of weird that he tweeted TPTB demanding to know if the rumors are true. Why should he care? Why should they tell him?

I remember the actor being very very vocal about wanting to return to ALL MY CHILDREN for the last episodes.

Matt Borleghni was, if I remember correctly, sitting in GH's makeup chair when they told him the role was being postponed/ended in favor of Franco.

I feel a little sorry for him, because that must hurt as an actor, and he didn't have a happy parting with AMC either. I don't think behaving that way on Twitter helps, but it might get him hired as a staff writer...

I remember that, and now if they do go with Valentin, it's with a gut about 20 years his senior? I'd be pissed too! Vincent Irizarry just might be my final straw!

So we haven't even seen him playing the part? And he demands an answer from TPTB whether they are recasting the part or not?

Unfortunately, yes! He never filmed anything when he got the news. Like Carl said, it was best if he said nothing, but I'd be pissed.

ETA: It wasn't Craptini who screwed Matt over, so they would not even think of him when stunt casting this role because who cares about MB, really? Unfortunately, VI is a bigger name, so they'd bring that gut in so that he can spit all over the other cast members 3 times a week!

moRon and I had a conversation about this - well, maybe not a conversation. But I guess we know where the other stands! Look at the addition of these characters, yet TJ's mother has not made an appearance [who honestly does not believe that if TJ were anything but black, his mother would have shown up to make his life, Shawn's life and everyone else's life miserable]. Why not tie an old love of Shawn's in with the Jeromes, so that he would have his own beef with The Naked Mobster? Ugh!

I wish they'd just kill Shawn off. He's always been an awful character and nothing more than a black Jason

So since he never filmed anything and all this happened two-three years ago, why would he demand a public answer from TPTB about their next year plans for the character? If he really wanted to know what is going on he should have called them. Twitter is not the best place to talk about a job.

Many actors have been let go from a show before filming anything and they probably don't consider the role theirs after that.

The actress who played Dr Tricia Quick on B&B for five minutes all those years ago would deserve to be more upset if they planned to bring the character back in 2014 played by Tamara Braun.
