She did - they weren't always great hires, but she did. One hire allegedly led to the infamous "Who Jackie?" meme Norm Macdonald spawned years ago which... I am not linking to, but good luck down that rabbit hole.

 

And I'm not excusing that awful behavior. She was a terror to deal with. But she also, for better or worse behavior, made the show what it became. Her attention to detail, even her mania over it often helped the legitimacy of the scripts and characters. Until it didn't and became toxic.

All of this. But especially the return of Season 1-6 Jackie Harris. 

 

I loved the first episode. Sadly, I could've seen this as just being a one episode wrap-up, without actually going on to a series. I hope they delve deeper into backstory of the past 20 years, including more with Ann-Marie and Chuck, Crystal (she's lookin' kinda kooky now...), and hopefully Nancy and Leon one day. 

 

I'd also like an explanation of how The Lunchbox went under. That affected four incomes (Roseanne, Jackie, Nancy, Leon). 

 

It's sad to see the hurt in Lecy and Michael Fishman's expressions. From seeing previous interviews in the past 25 years, you could tell there was a strong bond between Fishman and Roseanne. 

 

I'll gladly watch The Conners this season, but there is indeed something missing without Roseanne.... At least reruns are back!

That would make more sense.  However, Broderick is over twenty years their senior.

 

I just wish they could coax George Clooney into coming back.

Same.  (See above.)

 

Another casting suggestion: Topher Grace ("That '70's Show") as a recurring love interest for Becky.

The thing is, I still love her. I know she's off-balanced and would do well with psychotherapy (my hubby's profession... I'd love for him to diagnose her, haha) but I've always loved her delivery with the way she talks and how there's pain, nostalgia, regret, all behind it.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for her?  Because, I don't.

 

Forget that her tweet was racist.  Slamming Valerie Jarrett's physical appearance at all is something you'd expect a man to do.  Not someone who's supposed to be a feminist.

 

As an African-American, I accept her apology, but I'm not letting her off the hook, ever.  She's a big girl.  She should've known better than to jeopardize two hundred people's livelihoods with that stupid tweet.  And the fact that she can disappear from public life now and never worry about money again...?  I'm sorry, I'm just all out of [!@#$%^&*] to give her.

 

 

What, Jackie can't have TWO love interests?

 

 

Fine, but if and when I suggest that adding Brett Butler to the cast will save this show, I don't want to hear a word from you.  Not.  One.  Word.

 

(Relax, I'm never going to suggest such a thing.)

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      I don't expect Lois to be the same person she was 25 years ago, but she's definitely lost a lot of what made Lois unique.  It's clear the show doesn't know how to write for her, and the sole purpose of Lois is to hide this Gio secret.  It's a shame she doesn't interact with more of the canvas.  It's a waste of Rena's talents. I like Brook Kerr most of the time.  She can be hit or miss.  I totally get what you are saying about her line readings too.  I honestly think the character really suffers being stuck in the Curtis pairing.  She's much better than Tanisha Harper's Jordan lol.

      Friday and yesterday's episode is what daytime television should be. The other shows airing could take a page from yesterday's show.  I loved the rage, hurt and anger Nicole unleashed on Ted.  Daphnee should be up for an Emmy nom for these scenes.  It broke my heart to see how Dana had locked Eva out.  I do feel sorry for Eva.    I am still bumfuzzled as to why Leslie/Dana went to the DuPree's and asked them to accept Kat UNLESS Eva is really Kat's twin (and really Nicole and Ted's daughter that maybe they though they lost or an embryo Dana/Leslie stole??) I loved how Anita and Vernon both shot her down.    Ohhh and let me just say Friday and yesterday was the MOST fire I have seen Martin have since the show started.  Maybe Brandon Clayborn is coming into his own with the role finally.

      You've been seeing him all along. You just didn't know it was him, I guess.

      Where to for Dana? She's pissed off the Duprees (most of the cast), alienated her daughter and will she be welcomed by the Have Nots at the diner? Maybe she can befriend Ashley and Derek and liven up their story.

      I think of Evan as a smarmy bast*rd. Maybe you'll like that description. You certainly have him pegged correctly since he is just a soldier following "Admiral" Iris's marching orders.

      So far the only interest I've seen from Evan to Amanda has been listening to Iris's orders to go and seduce her.  So far he hasn't been successful... but who knows. Amanda is unbearable at times. Entitled, spoiled... idiotic. Iris... so blatantly manipulating her and Amanda takes the bait. But I guess... when she gets in trouble... she'll have a chance to learn. That's what makes these shows so interesting.    Oh, no, don't worry. You haven't ruined a thing. Evan has not been on my radar that much... he was not one of the characters I was caring particularly... so nothing much has been changed for me. I don't think he has the stuff to ruin Rachel's life. He's just a pretty guy that can follow orders. Iris on the other hand... is dangerous.

        P.S Maybe Evan will surprise me. Who knows.

      The show has gone back to 10/10 entertainment! I'm glad that I was right in feeling that what were experiencing were growing pains. I'm sure they are not over yet, but I'll know that we always comeback to quality drama. I think it's going to be a hell of ride (in a good way) from this moment on. BTG has that magic that not a lot of shows have. I'll update more... when I'm done catching up.

      So very glad to hear this. Yesterday I suddenly thought; OMG, what about spoilers, have I just  ruined things for Maxim in getting carried away with interest in Evan, who was so well-written & well-acted. BTW, your fan review of this episode was a sight for eyes that had not seen one of these for a little bit too long, LOL!!!  Mitch is also fascinating to me but in his case it's because he was all in with Janice & her nefarious plan & then he did this turnabout we've mentioned & he basically got off scot-free.
