This makes the quote in Variety about tuning in to soaps after not watching for years and seeing familiar faces all the more absurd. At least regarding GH. If you tune in to GH and see familiar faces, you were watching other shows years ago.

And Slimeass has already mourned Nina more than Sam mourned Jason. And now he will mourn the loss of his dead baby. I know a lot of people hated Jason and his box of pain, but this is ridiculous.

Madeline and Liesl!!! It's been a long time, hasn't it?

KS looks better since finally putting on some weight but Maxie is still a twit. But she does seem like a master thespian compared to Ryan Paevey and whoever plays her friend. Good God with the awful.

Olivia is so overdramatic. Putting her with MB/Sonny just makes it worse.

Nik practically has a mullet. Ugh! The scene where Liz saw him in the ER was nice but that's about it. She's one of the only people that I like that's not a complete caricature.

Franco is just a yapping dog! I hate RH's acting.

KT really is the Bree Williamson of GH. Exact same bitchface and they can both play complete bitches but can't add real layers or play anything else. But I did think it was kinda nice that Lulu let Britt say goodbye to the baby.

Ryan Paevey SO pales in comparison to Donna Mills in every single scene they have together.

Donna Mills was campier than Kathleen Gati today!! Love them both but how absurd that RC made Madeline and Liesl sisters. Liesl already has Britta, she doesn't need more family. Does EVERYONE have to be related?

It's so bad. I hope the Qs get some decent focus during AJ's funeral coming up.

We get it, you hate Kelly and Britt. I personally think she's a competent enough actress. I felt bad for Britt today, the scenes were well done.

Maxie's new friend is beyond obnoxious.

I thought Nathan seemed a bit more alive today. I hope this continues!

Yeah, I think KT did a good job today. I liked those scenes and I really enjoyed Lulu finally getting her baby. Emme's not the best actress but she's made me buy Lulu's hunger to be a mother and to have her child back. So kudos to them both. KT emotes and does a lot more than many actors on this show.

Woodpile did seem more alive but I was so distracted by that greasy Trashbag. But I've never been much of a fan of guys with longer hair. It takes a lot to pull it off and he looks ridiculous. We traded one annoying frog face (Spinelli) for another (Levi). Why not just keep Spinelli?

I don't think either is the worst actress I've ever seen. Or even the worst on their soaps. I was just pointing out the similarities I saw with the acting styles and characters. And as I said, I did like that Lulu was the one who let Britt say goodbye to baby Ben.

Guys with long hair make me sick. Not that I missed Maxie but she really needs new friends.

    • 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.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
    • You're right. People like me who stuck with her, did so because of her history. The show just skated her along with no story,  no goal, no aim. Right again! This is who I forgot before. When you describe her, it makes me appreciate her more. Thinking back I loved Mandy.
