As someone who has never really watched GH but seen clips here and there, I do not understand why they kept and keep Laura Wright in the role of Carly when Sarah Brown and Tamara Braun were both such gifted and powerhouse actresses. Both came back to GH in new roles when the role of Carly should've just been handed back to either of them.

Agreed completely with you.

 

I really liked the Dev actor when we first met him (in March?) and was hopeful and even glad they brought him on. Stitt was TERRIBLE (but I think he became likeable as Oscar died, personally, that doesn't mean he became good) so I thought it'd be a good swap.

 

Nope.

 

But then again they aren't really writing well for Dev either. He's just propping Josslyn and weirdly desperate to please Sonny and get his attention (like how Cam and Trina do nothing but talk about Joss, or Franco, the two pets)

 

I like Braun and Watros. I can see why some don't. I don't think they are *amazing* but I think they play certain characters very well. Nina and Kim are not those characters. This is what happens, like we've seen for DECADES at this point, you can't just pick any actor or actress and shove them on a show with a new character. It doesn't work. Yet, so many wish Braun were Carly and loved her in the role. Watros was fabulous as Annie.

 

The propping for Nina is also atrocious. Everyone trips all over themselves to keep her happy and it's SO bizarre.

I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere else. I'm chilling champagne in anticipation though. Here's hoping she's the first of many useless characters to be hitting the road.

Where? DAYS again? LOL. The Stayla stans would die! But I always liked Tams as Ava. She plays a crazy bitch so much better than a wounded heroine/victim. (Would seem pointless though because Ava and Steve's son isn't even on the canvas anymore, talk about a waste of potential)

      BTG: November 2025 Discussion Thread

      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

      By Khan · Posted

      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.
