JT seems checked out and Mark Grossman overacts in all his scenes.  He should really stop taking acting tips from the Red Menace.  Grossman was better when he started than he is now.

 

Boaz is returning...

Gaston  will be missed, along with Tricia Cast.   Gaston brought a stronger Abby from Melissa Ordway. 

 

 

Johnny Abbott aged 10 years yet Rey looks the same?  (Matthew Erick White reminds me of Doug Savant).

 

Griffith needs a co head writer or a replacement. His attempts at fantasies always seem to backfire.

 

So Alyssa travels with shooting gloves....

 

Oh and how great was it to link Theo to the Abbotts and Brooks only to make him an even bigger bitch than he was from the jump. Then ship him off to Paris, having never connected with the Brooks family at all.

 

 

Why are we seeing no fallout over Nate/Elena/Devon?   With Devon's money....

 

 

 

CLB looks fine AF

Cait Fairbanks is busy doing an album with some band or under a stage name I think. I think she had a brief cameo back in Sept/Oct but that’s it as Tessa has really been gone since March. It reminds me of how Marissa was referred to for almost a year after the actress was dismissed before Noah announced his off screen breakup with her. 
 

Speaking of Noah another recurring character in limbo. I wonder if Adamason doesn’t want to resign and the show doesn’t care enough to recast at this point.

 

But yeah, plots come and go so fast. Like what was the point of Gloria and the mysterious USB flash drive? (Is it still in the Chancellor mansion?) Why did Lola only plot her revenge for like one episode and then drop it? Heck Sharon’s entire cancer story is pretty much over now.

So I take it this Billy episode was another Delia related episode? Did they include Chloe? It sickens me how her pain is often overlooked, especially after they basically turned her into a psycho and did nothing to redeem her. I don’t think Kevin or Chloe are needed, but she’s on contract so why isn’t she just as involved when mentioning Delia? JG seems to go out of his way not to give the female characters depth.

Judging from the comments concerning his writing this time around, it would appear that his last attempt was during the Lauren/Carmine affair, which was ended quickly after backlash from some Lauren/Michael fans. It sounds as though JG has elected to write the women to be fairly vanilla, as milquetoast as possible as a result.

    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
