How many times will we see Monica talking to a different person she thinks is her son? Just awful writing.

I doubt Drew is dead. GH is probably recasting

Supposedly Mark Lawson who plays Dustin was up for Drew

Promo for GH's new collection

All Sonny's Children

No this is no joke

OOH I hope they include the episode where he shot his son or the one where he knocked up his other son's girlfriend on the coffin of the guy that he killed.

Just jk... Overall, Sonny's ok to me. Sometimes I like him, sometimes I hate him. I'll probably watch.

Franko, Drew, Kim,,Julian, Finn all should have been on that plane

In a perfect, non-Frank world, maybe.

I actually liked the real Drew, but FrankenDrew, Kim and Julian need to go.

The Monica of today reminds me more and more of the Lila of yesterday, in that she'll accept just about anybody who moves into the mansion.

LOL! Despite my griviances against Maurice's current acting and the forced push to see Sonny and Jason as family men, I do appretiate that GH isn't hesistant to refer to history and make classic (not really classic in this case) episodes avalible. CBS Soaps dont do that any more. I wish Y&R or B&B would release or replay classic episodes, or atleast stop blocking youtubers from uploading classic scenes.

Surprised they didn't include Carly falling down the stairs, Kristina's birth/Sam's miscarriage fiasco, Claudia's car accident/miscarriage.....Jesus it's really time Sonny consider a vasectomy.

I'm sure we all knew that was going to happen. I don't particularly care for Kim, but if that finally separates him and Liz, I'm all for it.

Had Kim been Sarah, this story would have much more tension and interest. Thanks, Frank #firefrank

Liz: "If Drew died, at least he died trying to save Franco."

Wow. I can't believe these words were actually spoken. 🤢 The show sucks so bad right now.

Then Oscar would been a Webber/Hardy & a Quartermaine. Damn that would have been awesome

He still would've been horribly written and played by a horrendous actor, so not really.

And thankfully, Ass car would still be dead.

I just can’t anymore with this show.

You don’t build an entire wing of a family with retcons then kill them all off within 4 months.

Monica deserved better, the fans of the show deserve better, and the legacy of the show deserves better.

I have never been one of the just cancel it brigade. But these kinds of decisions make me think they don’t care about the product they are making. So why should I?

Go Laura! Loved her finally having the courage to stand up to Leslie. The Anita/Eva scene was nice too.

Now that makes sense. I do feel the Ronnie story only existed because of ES. You could take that entire story out and absolutely nothing change - except for Laura asking Martin to move out. Even that rift was healed the next time they were together (debate night). I kept wondering, who really cares who gets the Q Estate, compared to all the other stories that had been sidelined just to fit that in.

Ahh I see, ok makes sense... not that I like it, but that makes sense haha.
So that makes me wonder - when Kate Mansi directed Tuesday's show, does that mean she only directed a few of the scenes that episode and not all? Makes me wonder how the directing/writing credits get assigned in that model.

I just found out (from a reddit post) that Robin Strasser returns on February 16, 1993. That soon. I can't believe my time with Elaine is ending. It's soooo disappointing to see her go after all she's done with and for the character. She WAS Dorian. Being center stage almost half of 1992 makes it hard to believe they are replacing her. The character grew so much - facing Blair and Addie/going back to her childhood/re-experiencing past trauma. I wish I could read an interview from that time to understand her feelings after leaving. If one even exists.
I've been watching the German 1980 episodes and enjoy RS's Dorian... A LOT... she does have a different energy. RS's Dorian feels more pretentious and self-absorbed (and a little bit adorable)... while EP's Dorian was darker, moodier, a bit like a broken bird... I like both. Of course a lot of these impressions are influenced by the writing for the character and not only the portrayal. I can't say which is better, but I connect more with EP's Dorian. Maybe I'll change my mind when I start watching RS in English. (I can't judge properly when it's dubbed over in German.)

The show is assembled from taped scenes out of order and the episodes recreated like a puzzle. So B and C stories, and ones not featuring pets or Frank’s personal favorites at that time, get dropped for weeks sometimes, or get shoehorned in as an afterthought. It did not used to be so obvious, and it is slightly better at times now. But it’s been a pattern for awhile now.
As has a bored Valentini interrupting the flow of stories and changing almost everything quickly, dropping months of plots/couples and often never returning to them. The fast pace they were running on when Rory arrived as the recast really covered the seams a lot too, but something changed with the Ronnie story and Britt return as far as momentum, so we are seeing more of the cracks in the way they assemble the show.

Yep - she acted on GL for a year in the early 80s.

Lois Kibbee (Geraldine Saxon) wrote for The Edge of Night while on the show.

I'm noticing there are some issues with follow-through/up on this show. Like Ric being drugged/tortured by Alexis/Ava - after all that, we just sweep it under the rug and pretend it didn't happen? Same with Ned's heart attack - I guess this was just a fast plot point to move other things along, but we're not really supposed to care how he is? We haven't seen him or Olivia since he got to the hospital...
Otherwise, there are fun things I like about the show. It moves quickly, so it's not boring like others. The sets are amazing, and they have so many... probably the best I've seen in current times. Great acting generally.

ALL: Soap actors that also worked BTS on their shows

For the purposes of this thread I think this is cool information to have compiled, but not quite the same as actors that fully transitioned or wrote for other characters while also still acting in the show. Although I know Rowell was instrumental in stories too, and Bill Bell had a lot of respect for her ideas.
I mean Finola/Tristan/Kimberly improvised whole scenes, rewrote dialogue, etc. Tony Geary was famous for this too. And as I said earlier, Geary and his writing partner wrote two story treatments that GH accepted and used with the writing team to develop them. The Luke & Laura returns story, and the horrible Cassadine Endgame, which Geary said had virtually zero in common with what they presented and sold to ABC. Genie Francis came up with the idea of a baby Laura left behind that Wendy Riche and Guza used later on.
Wasn’t Megan McTavish a performer on soaps before she wrote as well? And I just recalled that Pam Long wrote and acted on Texas when the show was winding down.

Y&R: November 2025 Discussion Thread

I’m not gonna lie today was pretty good! Gina dragging Phyllis for the filth she is and Nina and Amy (glad to see her mix it up with more people) making it clear how much they detest Cane for everything! I even got a laugh over Esther being the culprit of the mums being sent to Christine to cause her allergic reaction.

Has Patty Weaver retired from singing IRL? My heart sank a little when Gina said she was a former singer. I guess I was kind of hoping she was gonna serenade them like she did at their first wedding with “starting here, starting now”
