Interesting.  thanks!

 

 

.

 

Anne Collings played Florence Grey in the 1970s.
But it's not the same actress now.

 

SOD latest issue says it was Annie Abbott playing Florence Grey, and now she's done.

She appeared Wed Dec 16, Thu Dec 17, Fri Dec 18, and Mon Dec 21.
 

(I'm not expecting to see Florence again.  Don't know if there would need to be another arc later on? The character is now elderly in a long-term care facility in Vermont).

GH has been doing that to make us believe the way too young Briana Nicole Henry is old enough to be TJ's mother lol.  Just think Brook Kerr could've been a much more believable Jordan, even though she looks younger than her 47 years.   Briana's ok in the role, but should've been cast as Portia instead. 

 

BTW since Briana Henry announced she has COVID,  I wonder if they are going to temp re-cast Jordan too.   Looks like they would since they've been temp recasting everyone else that is temp out on GH

Why did GH insist on giving Maxie so many kids?  It's Liz level annoying.  This show gives every woman at least one too many kids (Carly, Lulu, Sam, Liz, Maxie, Anna, Alexis and so on...).  There are characters like Sam who would be fine with 0 children.  Why can't we have a woman just not wanting to have children?  Sasha aside, I don't think any current character has expressed not wanting a herd of children.  Molly maybe?

47? She looks amazing.

 

I'm not upset if the show is splitting up Curtis and Jordan. Curtis has chemistry with pretty much everyone who's not Jordan.

 

I honestly forgot about the whole Molly/Brando/TJ story (the show did, too). I wonder if we'll see any followup now that Molly told TJ. Like, will we ever see TJ confront Brando? Will we see Molly and TJ work on rebuilding their relationship? Probably not. I don't get why the show pretty much refuses to write for them.

 

This Sonny stuff is so dumb. Not one viewer believes they're actually going to have Sonny die, so what's the point?

I honestly get Sam to an extent and I am okay with her having her miracle baby after Baby Lila, but I think her switch from 'ride or die' chick to homemaker is odd.  Maxie is someone I could definitely see as more career driven and at least putting off having children until later, but she has 3 kids now!  One she doesn't take care of!   Again, I think Britt is the only character over 30 that doesn't have kids, has a great career we see, and doesn't show a strong desire to have kids (even though she was great with Spencer).  Possibly Diane too, but she barely merits a mention since she's really a C character.  I get children make soaps go round and build legacy characters but I do feel GH gives every woman too many kids.  And on the flip side, gives Sonny all the children while longtime characters like Jax/Ned only have one.

    • I'm screaming at those clips and gifs.  THIS IS PURE GOLD.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York   Steel Magnolias: The leading ladies: Dolly Parton: "She is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses," Roger Ebert wrote. Imagining that she probably saw Truvy as an against-type role, Hinson concluded it's still well within her wheelhouse. "She's just wearing fewer rhinestones." Sally Field: "Field, as always, is a lead ball in the middle of the movie," according to Denby . M'Lynn giving her kidney to Shelby brought out David's bitchy side. "I can think of a lot more Sally Field organs that could be sacrificed." Shirley MacLaine: "(She) attacks her part with the ferociousness of a pit bull," Hinson wrote. "The performance is so manic that you think she must be taking off-camera slugs of Jolt." (I agree. If there was anyone playing to the cheap seats in this movie, it's Shirley.) Olympia Dukakis: "Excruciating, sitting on her southern accent as if each obvious sarcasm was dazzlingly witty," Denby wrote. Daryl Hannah: "Miss Hannah's performance is difficult to judge," according to Canby, which seems to suggest he took a genuine "if you can't say something nice ..." approach. Julia Roberts: "(She acts) with the kind of mega-intensity the camera cannot always absorb," Canby wrote. That comment is so fascinating in light of the nearly 40 years Julia has spent as a Movie Star. She is big. It's the audience who had to play catch up. And on that drag-ish note ... The movie itself: "You feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators," Hinson wrote. Canby: "Is one supposed to laugh at these women, or with them? It's difficult to tell." Every review I read acknowledged the less than naturalistic dialogue in ways both complimentary (Ebert loved the way the women talked) and cutting (Harling wrote too much exposition, repeating himself like a teenager telling a story, Denby wrote). Harling wrote with sincerity and passion, Canby acknowledged, but it's still a work of "bitchiness and greeting card truisms." The ending was less likely to inspire feeling good as it was feeling relieved, according to Denby. "(It's) as if a group of overbearing, self-absorbed, but impeccable mediocre people at last exit from the house."
    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
