I never liked random characters getting singing abilities and it being shoehorned into storylines on any show for any decades they started doing that stuff. Whether performer is talented at singing or not is besides the point: I am here to watch a show, not singing AND GH actually has a ready-made showcase for their actors who want to sing with the Nurses Balls. So stop wasting my time by bursting into songs.

I don't mind the character singing.  It's serenading a serial killer that once kidnapped his baby brother. Brain tumor or not, that's the way James Franco created the character, and that's how it should have ended.

 

Cam's been strumming that guitar for a while.  Sing to a girl, a boy, hell, even your Mom. Just stop ROMANTICIZING a character that should never have been recast or retconned.

All of this. That's exactly who Kristina should be. I like Ainsworth but she'll never be elevated with her in the role.

 

I said it already but this is the year that Brenda should come back. It's a really great opportunity in many ways.

 

I agree on Lois. I almost feel like they don't because they figure they have Olivia filling that spot.

 

lol at all the men Cameron has sung for. Just make him gay writers!

 

Agreed on Franco. James Franco created the role. It should have ended with him. 

 

They wanted Todd 2.0 and it flopped miserably. 

 

The romanticizing of rapists and serial killers has got to stop just because people like the actor.

 

All of this. Spot on about Ainsworth and Kristina. Like I said, she just can't sell much as a lead. It's just how it is. They need to recast and do something with her. Otherwise they're just catering to Mo's ego by having Sonny have all these kids around. 

 

Bryan Craig did Mo's youtube show. He looked good. I always felt like he just needed to mature and grow up. I know he did some onlyfans stuff like charging fans or trying to back in the day. IDK if there's more. Mo seems fine with him of course LOL.

 

Avery should 100% be Morgan's. It writes itself. I can only imagine they go there someday. Hopefully. Sonny doesn't need Avery and Carly being a GRANDMOTHER to Ava's daughter lowkey thrills me.

 

If Laura and Mo had chemistry maybe it'd be different but they don't. They feel like a total mismatch to me. Carly and Sonny should have never been endgame. Once upon a time, Carly and AJ should have succeeded Monica and Alan. But alas, Sonny propping and making AJ a horrible no good loser was what they went with.

 

LW should really be playing a different character.

 

I wanted that for Brenda and Sonny. In reality, she should have been on the canvas for the last few years ... LOL. She at least should have come back in 2017 instead of trying to make Tamara work as boring ass Kim.

 

I like Britt too. She and Obrecht entertain me and both actresses are engaging to watch. I'm so glad it worked out in the end that Britt is back and they seem invested in her. 

 

Man, Slezak as some cunning bitch would be fabulous.

I agree bring back Lois.  Get Lesli Kay back in the role, she was good.  I think Kristina should be recast. Lexi Ainsworth, when younger was good in the role, but her looking younger than her real age I think is detrimental to Kristina now, especially with Haley Pullos(Molly) looking older than her now. (btw I'd put Pullos on contract, far overdue imho).   Briana Lane who filled in as  Brook Lyn would make a good Nu Kristina.  Maybe Linsey Godfrey, about to be ex-Sarah Horton, DAYS? Kelley Missal (ex-Dani Manning, ONE LIFE)?

Briana Lane would make a wonderful Kristina.

 

And absolutely, Pullos deserves to be on contract. 

 

Exactly. It's the AMOUNT of kids he has. Not that he *has* kids @FrenchBug82 I'm all for kids to follow their parents 'legacy' but enough is enough with Sonny LOL. It's a joke at this point. AJ was never allowed to be a father to Michael. Sonny had to be his father. Michael. Avery. Kristina. Donna. Dante. Morgan. Six kids. I mean, I believe a guy like Sonny should probably have more than the average soap character, he had lots of women, but still ... enough is enough LOL 

 

Holly has Ethan

Pullos deserves a contract and I am shocked to say that because she was the most grating child actress IMO.  

 

It's not just the kids it's the amount of woman pregnant by him.  10 pregnancies?  If I am counting right (Lily, Carly, Sam, Claudia).  I mean, after seeing Stone die of AIDS and Robin live with it would he be so cavalier about birth control?  I don't care he has kids, but enough is enough.

Right. It's too much. Another problem of one character eating the show for two decades. 

 

Pullos has really grown into her own and feels so natural. I enjoy her immensely. And I agree she was grating as a child actress, I won't even lie about it LOL. But I love her now. It's been nice they've let her grow into the role. Molly is my favorite Alexis daughter by far.

Jason has eaten the show with him and doesn't have 1000's of kids...There is no excuse except the show wants to make Sonny look sexy and virile.  And, IMO, Sonny was dead sexy back in the day, but hasn't been in about 15 years.  It's so much.  We've had women like Claire ask Sonny to impregnate her in 2011!!  

The bar is set low for Alexis's daughters, but agreed.  She seems the most Alexis like.  And I think Pullos grew into a stunning looking woman.

Agree with everyone here about Ainsworth. She just doesn’t cut it as adult Kristina.

 

Have to disagree about the song William Lipton sang. I understand not romanticizing deeply flawed characters, but Cam didn’t see Franco that way. The song showed how Cam felt about the loss. Good song, heartfelt lyrics, emotional performance. I usually dislike full songs on soaps, but I thought this worked really well.

 

Nina finding Sonny....I just can’t accept anything about this storyline. When you have to pretend the internet doesn’t exist, the story is a joke.

Posted (edited)

A notorious crime boss on par with John Gotti isn't recognized. I'm willing to overlook this. Because i want to see Nina really hurt CarSon. I hope GH gets this story into high gear. I'm sick of Sonny/Mike at a always empty Tan-O.

Not just the internet, but can you believe that the police didn't send his prints in?  You know they're on file!

As many holes as this story has, it’s hilarious that many of us root for Nina, without question. That’s been the case for most of Carly’s adversaries. I guess I did feel bad for her against Ryan.

I hope so! He’s almost completely grey on his YouTube series and looks 1000% better. When he smiled at Nina at the end of today’s episode, I was like, Damn, is MB actually sexy again? I haven’t felt that way since the early 2000s at the latest.

      I went back to see how Sami even figured out how to sell a baby in 1993, and the recap is unintentionally hilarious. The exposition is so blunt it feels like the writers drafted it between bites of lunch. Suddenly there’s a teen mom named Karen who sold her baby through a shady lawyer, and somehow Sami just… knows this man and pays him with hospital volunteer money. You can tell they were trying to make the whole thing “plausible” enough, but also knew the baby wouldn’t be gone long enough to justify a real subplot.  I know one thing, if Karen had confided in Jamie, Sami would've never met Steve Miller. Jamie knew that snitches get stitches. Not to be confused with the horrific Stephen Miller, who was 8 in 1993.
    • I can’t help but to get drawn in by Dani and Andre but it just angers me that it’s so obvious that they’re not endgame.
    • John and Marlena may have committed adultery, but they weren't going to be smug creeps about it. "Roman, how do you feel about the name Isabella Titania Brady?"
    • -- It's always amazing to me that these "terrible breakdowns" (by writers so bad they shall not be named) are saved by incredible script writers. Every time

      -- Kat is a "spoilt bitch" while Eva isn't??? -- Does Kat go too far with her mouth? Absolutely. But I get it. Eva has done some terrible things and continues to enable her criminal mother while Kat's family and boyfriend DEFEND her and show her love. -- Eva's complaints about Leslie are meaningless, because they're never backed up with anything. I'll take "spoilt bitch" any day before I take "criminal enabling hoe." -- It's nice that Martin accepts Eva, but the way he's handling it is eye-rolling. Eva gets hugs and smiles and full acceptance while Kat is trashed -- to Eva's face. -- Martin is STILL obsessing over the Kat conversation about sex that Samantha heard. Are you kidding me with this? And now Eva offers to speak to Kat. Yeah, very cute that the sister who screwed the other sister's boyfriend is the one with relationship advice. -- The food at Uptown looked pretty good today. Orphey Gene's food has yet to impress me, and I think it's clear that the country club chef is an alcoholic who cannot control his kitchen.
    • At this point, Marlena, John, and Roman all thought Roman was Belle's father. Sami had switched the initial blood tests. When it was time for another round of tests (because Belle was jaundiced), Sami panicked and kidnapped the baby.  Up until January 1994, Sami was the only one who knew that John was Belle's father. Next up were Stefano and Peter, once Stefano read Sami's diary (he figured it would reveal what was going on between John & Marlena). Stefano revealed the truth of Belle's parentage to Roman AFTER Marlena revealed her tryst with John (about two weeks later, to be exact). Marlena and John were the last ones to find out (during February sweeps, naturally). The John Black name was revived in September 1991.
    • The show has been getting better and better. Dani and Andre solidly "coupling" has been amazing. Genie Francis says soaps don't do couples anymore...maybe Dani/Andre can prove her wrong. To me they are the best couple on the show.  Eva vs Kat is always great. The show continues to find ways to keep it going and I'm all for it. Kat annoys me so bad. She is such a spoiled princess and acts it. I agree the comment about wishing Eva had been aborted was low. If that were the case, then why is she constantly getting in Eva's face? Why doesn't Kat just stay away and ignore her completely like she doesn't exist? I know. I know. It wouldn't be soaping.  This Hayley plot to kill Bill now taking a detour onto Izaiah has me curious. Does Hayley even know what she wants? I can't wait to see the fallout for Hayley and Randy....but not too soon.  I am tired of hearing about Winterfest already though. Can we get to it? lol
    • Great rundown of Long's second stint. Now you got me wondering...and again, thinking how real life impacted the direction of the show. We were talking about how practically the minute Long landed back on GL, she wrecked Ross and Vanessa and threw Alan and Reva together. Soon after, Alan started pursuing Vanessa again (because he was SO afraid of the "real" feelings he was having for Reva for the first time in his life, LOL). It's like she was determined to do an Alan/Vanessa/Somebody triangle at some point. She started one with Billy as the third side (well, actually, Alan was the third side) back in late 83/early 84 before Bernau exited GL the first time. So she had to drop it. But since Billy was gone this time, she seemed to decide, hey, I'll do it, only with Reva as the missing side of the triangle. Then Maeve left, messing that up! So I wonder, would she have had Alan and Vanessa marry? Maybe not, but I doubt Vanessa would have taken kindly to being overthrown for Reva. Could have been done in a really humiliating way, like after the invitations went out or even at the wedding. Maybe she would have helped Phillip with his plot to dethrone Alan. Lots of interesting possiblities.  I did like the way this story was handled. Chelsea was clearly more in love with Phillip than he was with her. Even "dead," no one could compete with Beth. So it was always doomed, but they showed how Phillip lost his way because he was obsessed with getting back at his dad. I also thought the relationship between Alan and Chelsea was a little...strange. He was very much in favor of their relationship, even though she came from an even lower background than Beth's. She also always fiercely defended Alan. Which has made me wonder if--ick--one of the many writing teams was thinking about putting them together romantically. (Of course, in my headcanon, where Alan has a youthful romance with the never seen Reardon sister, his fondness for Chelsea then makes perfect sense.) I always wondered why they never thought of putting Chelsea with Rick, especially after they butted heads over the death of her fiance. Seemed like a no-brainer.
    • Aubrey's Marina was great...but they wasted her...she could have been a new Nola (since she was living in the BH I would have had her find the N.R. + K.N. thing Nola carved in her bedroom...."I don't know who this girl was but she seems to be as unhappy as I am stuck here.") And have her set her cap for a good recast Shayne and take on the Old Bag Reva when she tries to interfere.."Oh please, I heard she was back in Oklahamo giving blow jobs behind the gas station, and she acts like she is Mother of the Year...God I hate her."  When they recast with that boring Kit girl and then...cutesy Mandy it was done. I love the idea of Billy and Van bonding over hell on wheels Peter. and kicking **** to the curb.Billy went to prison to protect him from Roger but that was never mentioned when Billy returned. Peter and Aubrey's Marina would raise Hell together..do a Nolaredux  in that he bangs her, she gets preggers, passes that off as Shayne's with Ole Bag Reva suspicious...I could see Marina ringing a bell to get the Ole Bag to bring her some ice cream...."But Grandma...oh you hate that I am sorry, okay, Grammy, you know I can't be stressed and oh, Shayne would be mad if I lost the baby..."ah what could have been.

      Yeah, that's I mentioned the christening, when the truth comes out Reading October and November 1993, what is actually nuts is how much story they went through in a month. Because John's not even interested in Marlena at the time of Belle's birth.  He is rebound lusting for Kristen, who delivered Belle (funny mention in SOD about Marlena being unable to service at the Horton cabin on her "cellular" phone, I assume there was heightened vigilance to the exposition covering the tech of the time).   And, of course, since it was Kristen helping Marlena give birth during a stormy night, they both looked glossy, windswept, and gorgeous.    Justice for Jamie, I bet she's still holding Sami's secrets wherever she is.
    • You know what's crazy? Even though JFP ultimately has been a disaster at many soaps, and even though all the negatives about her are true, I'd still prefer her over Josh Griffith at Y&R. She can take over for him anytime, and I will applaud.
