Drake Hogestyn is not a good actor, but he had/has charm and warmth, which does help.

 

Had Belle and Shawn not gotten together, making John Roman after all could have worked (since Wayne Northrop left again, then returned AGAIN as a retconned first evil hubby of Marlena's. And wouldn't she have noticed the eerie resemblance to WN's Roman? This is why retcons suck.) But with that happening, repairing the damage done to John is a no go. Not to mention that Brady would then be Brady Brady, unless he kept the Black surname.)

From watching 90s AMC lately on YT, I don't see how the character became popular at all. I find Trevor to be an unbearable brute, and it makes me root for Janet in every situation. 

 

I am totally fine with Janet putting his a** in the freezer years later. He was a pompous butthole. 

 

 

Pairing Beth with Alan was sacrilegious. Especially, since Alan did a lot of heinous stuff to her throughout the 80s. 

 

I found that BC's Beth had chemistry with all her leading men BUT Phillip, which I was fine with at that point in time. I enjoyed Phillip with the likes of Harley and Olivia. I hated Phillip/Beth together. I preferred Beth with the likes of Bill, Edmund, and even Coop her final years on the show.

COOP? Jesus, take the wheel, I'm glad I've forgotten whatever that fuckery was about....

 

I'd say a "vet" has ten years on a show or fifteen in the business. Its more than a four year standard contract, its someone pretty regularly employed for a number of years.

Wouldn't miss them if they left tomorrow.

      I realize I harp on this, but I think he spending is relevant.  She's not just buying new wigs. She's building a mansion, she's funding a sports complex, she's paying for operations for people she doesn't know, she's caring for Peaches, she's buying apartments. We saw ?her get ONE check for ONE million dollars. That's it. I may be wrong, but I thought they said she'd get a payment every 6 months. Regardless, she could not rule the roost on $1M, and the show is not doing a good job there. Pretending that doesn't matter? I can't do that.  All they had to do was add a couple lines about payouts and payments.  In other news, I would love to know just how much Anita was putting into that trust as well as what investment got her what has to be an incredible return.

      I'm honestly surprised Nikki and Victor have not divorced yet... maybe their brief opening of the marriage did something for them.

      GH: Classic Thread

      It reminded me of what the Pollocks got away with all the time on THE DOCTORS: long ass flashbacks that don't really add anything to the scene except time.  Because, if you remove the flashback, what's left?  Monica finishes packing Alan's suitcase.  The end. Oh, well.  At least I got to see a young Patricia Elliott (ex-Renee, OLTL) in that Aim toothpaste commercial (not to mention, a shirtless James O'Sullivan (ex-Jeff, AMC; ex-Pete, OLTL; ex-Jerry, SOMERSET) in the commercial for One-a-Day vitamins, lol).

      Well, I can't help but think it would've been written different with CB still there

      I could've sworn FV let other people direct either here or at OLTL. I may be wrong. IIRC Kimberly is now very active directing multi-cam/sitcom work. I'd forgotten she even did Netflix's One Day at a Time.

      IIRC MVJ said the million was just the first piece of what Leslie got or was already owed, something they did make explicit in dialogue but not too explicit. Still, I am past worrying about it. I do think they want 30-yo elder millennial Peaches in her Sophia Petrillo wig to be a point of pathos for Leslie. In theory I am fine with that, and don't dislike Peaches despite the jarring physical disconnect and need for a recast lol. But I do think they do a lot of B&B-style whizzing from Point A to Point C with Leslie on this kind of stuff - in one scene she is raising hell, in the next she is weeping over Peaches. There's very little transition to that sometimes that allows for the nuance, and that can be done much better and they can go much deeper with Leslie (and most characters). The newer/younger audience for the show may have less issue with this kind of quick change than we do.

       Thank you.   That was part of my reasoning as well. I think about the days of Kevin, Joey, and Jessica on OLTL or Lucky/Liz/Nik/Sarah/Emily on GH or the Last Blast Kids on DAYS or the Glow by Jabot kids, and it takes me back. Sure I started soaps due to the older cast with their divas, but I do like to see people around my age back then, too. Great memories.   So I love a good relatable teen tale. Bullying. Hormones for the Bad Boy. College choices and internal conflict.

      Thank you for the information.  I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released.  But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding.    I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it.  So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again.  She seemed troubled, to say the least.
