I like all of the teens, Tessa is interesting and clicks with Noah and Nikki, Juliet is a great new addition, but I do agree the men need work. Scott, Ravi and Jordan are all played by good actors but it isn't fully clicking. Jordan needs more development, Scott I like every now and then but he's so boring with Sharon. He needs to be with Abby who he actually clicks with. Ravi I love, but since he got his makeover he also got a personality transplant and is boring as hell now. I hate that in order for Ashley to like him they had to remove all of the quirks that made him interesting. I've lost interest in him in his current state.

I think she is awful and a waste of airtime. IMO of course.

She needs to be the new Sheila like someone on here suggested. She should pop in and out like she did. She isn't a long term character IMO.

All three men are boring. The actor who plays Jordan is awful.

I disagree with most of that. I could see Tessa evolving and being an interesting side character with Noah. I'd like HER to be the one with a secret backstory, perhaps as one of Sheila's daughters. I do like that idea for Juilet as well though. I do think the show has had a horrible time with new leading men over the years. Everybody and their mother has suggested Brooks Prentiss return which I think could give them a chance to create a new alpha male instead of simply bringing Adam back a million times. Throw in a few guest appearances from Jaime Lyn Bauer and you're set. With their family being in the media business he could tie in with GC Buzz. Keemo is also a must, but neither will ever happen.

Well she is talking to some mystery person on the phone a lot. But I have no faith in SSM. The only story that has been interesting is Dina's and that's because of the actress and the family plus Tracy little appearance.

Ben Hochman was portrayed as obnoxious which brought out some fire in Ashley (and surprisingly Ravi too, by extension). He and Ashley had a push-pull dynamic which was interesting to watch since there was an undercurrent of an attraction.

For this reason, I was hoping the show would bring him back.  

 

Going by Graham's response that Dina is not sick, hopefully this means that that there are no plans to kill off the character. That exchange between Dina and Graham that Ashley witnessed does add some intrigue as to the nature of Dina and Graham's relationship and to Graham's personality, in general.

Since Traci has a career that travels, maybe she'll return to Genoa City. I did chuckle when Traci blurted out that she was the nice one!

 It is true though.

 

I  may have mentioned this before but I agree with people who say that Cane works better as somewhat of a rogue. His character hasn't been this interesting in years, if ever to me. It's not as if he's an evil genius or anything- Cane is one secret away from coming completely undone.

+1 on all but Juliet. I actually like her and think she could be a long term character if she was developed. The actress is stunning and has presence/charisma.  

 

That Tessa is seen as only a side character is the problem. Noah should he a young lead character and his pairings/romance should be with a a character that can be a younger lead to take over from SC. Someone on MiM's level of presence, talent, and beauty. No shade to Cate Fairbank, but Tessa is not that. JMO

On a side note, is this what you call good acting?

 

I know GT is a good actress, and I know that rehearsal time was cut down drastically, but... GT's characterization of Phyllis has never won me over. Plus she looks even younger than her age. I wish they had introduced her as Victoria or another character.

I love when she catches PB off guard with stuff like this and you can tell he loves it too.

 

Since Sally & co showed up characterization wise she's now much more in line with Stafford's version and Gina's finally allowed to have more fun, I just don't care for the return of Phyllis' desperation to please and keep a man who's more committed elsewhere.

I think Gina looks amazing for 43 she never ages lol. I actually love her longer hair and sexier clothes. When Gina Phyllis came back she had that very butch haircut, matronly clothes and she was always angry. I am glad to see more facets and she just won an emmy very deserved.

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
