What's the protocol when they want to use characters from defunct ABC soaps? Are they even required to run it by the network? PP fiasco aside.

I think Ron just hopes no one notices. They mentioned and even showed pictures of those Loving cast members, and Agnes Nixon's company still owns it and The City, not ABC.

There were times Ilene walked a very, very fine line on social media, both before and after Ron took over.

I was more than fine with the Loving stuff and with Delia at the beginning. The problem right now is that this character really has little to do with Delia - it's Ron doing an OLTL thing. I adored Roxy, but Delia Reid is worth more than that kind of personal gratification over an unrelated show and a character.

I believe she was approached about OLTL online, incidentally, shortly before the whole thing went under.

What irked me about the Loving/Corinth serial killer references was the inaccuracy in terms of further story established on The City. The Alden mansion was not abandoned after Cabot and Isabelle's deaths, but it was purchased by Deborah Brewster after she hit the number.

That was my hunch. What a nightmare, actually. Of all the fanfic writers in the world, one of the lesser is actually in a position of power where he can take classic ABC daytime characters and make shoddy canon (at least by GH standards) character moves. Let us pray that he will never, ever, increasingly and abundantly EVER have access to the characters of AMC and OLTL.

That didn't really bother me. It was perfectly plausible to me that Corinth had dried up as a town since and that Deborah had split.

Incidentally, if you're still doing the PP soaps watch, we're all eager to hear your thoughts wherever you choose to post them. Or was that someone else?

Yeah that kind of rubbed me the wrong way too. I understand that the actress who played Deborah had died since but it was still a retcon.

However as i remember this I assumed that Deborah inherited the Alden mansion and the obnoxious buttler that came along with it.

Wow, Monica for 2 days! I'm impressed. And she's not looking freshly done, either.

Sooo obvious with this Alice/Rafe stuff ...

Bryan Craig should wear red more often.

Hey, they remembered Shawn (and for those interested, he's shirtless). Nice to see Jordan, as always.

Day 6,000 of Ava/Sonny/Roxy. Isn't Roxy the boozer, not Delia ... lmao at "Delia" pretending to be Kaka. Love Ilene Kristen.

Kelly Monaco is definitely checked in to this storyline. PLEASE pair Sam with Patrick and let's dropkick Silas out of the way.

Mr. "Corinthis" ughhhh

That was me and I shall! I'll dig up the old threads as I go.

Geesh, it took Monica twelve minutes (not counting yesterday's cliffhanger) to spit it out about Alice. It felt absurd. Ben, B.J., Josh, Rafe, so many soap hearts beating in new chests.

Mr. "Corinthis" ughhhh

It's driving me crazy too.

This is not Delia. This is Roxy thru and thru. PP should add this to their lawsuit aganist ABC

I would like for Sonny and Ava to fall for one another, and then Sonny has to go to prison for murdering AJ and leaves Ava in charge.

Delia impersonating Kiki and htting ava for money was priceless.

Obviously the writers know that Kiki comes across as a leech

I would like for Sonny and Ava to fall for one another, and then Sonny has to go to prison for murdering AJ and leaves Ava in charge.

I do have to wonder if something happens between Ava and Sonny. We all know he's not going to off her. I wouldn't mind both of them being shipped off. So over them. I love Maura West but Ava is played out already.

Ava ending up getting herself married to Sonny and then taking over the organization while he's shipped off to the kookyhouse for a while would be a perfect ending to this scenario. It wouldn't last and shouldn't, but it would keep her running for a while longer and be great story.

Well we can sure see where this Rafe/Patrick thing is going. Everything on this show is sooo transparent.
