I like Charles Shaughnessy, but why is he getting a contract while Kin Shriner, Jon Lindstrom, and Tristan Rogers are lucky to get table scraps from this show? #firefrank should focus on the scene stealers he has  rather than booking other actors he'll grow bored with <looking at you Michael E. Kniight>. Not to mention the missed opportunity to bring JLH back, killing him off, off-screen, without even a mention until the turd er toad er smirking wonder AusFrankenTodd showed up. 

We can be sure that he won't be Jeff Webber or Tom Hardy because we can't have toys to play with that aren't re-treads or OLTL leftovers.

Right, of course.  I made an assumption that Charles Shaughnessy could do only a British character - because of his roles on Days and The Nanny. But I should not make assumptions! He might be able to portray a character with an average USA accent. I wouldn't know because I haven't seen everything he's ever acted in.   He has lived in the USA for decades and has "proud American" in his twitter bio.

yeah, this whole Sunny amnesia SL seems dumb af w/o her (or at least Sarah Brown). It would actually be funny + a shocking twist if Sunny got all his memories back... but they were devoid of Carley, and he only wanted Brenda. I think that would be a pretty satisfying twist, and I'm not even a Sonny/Brenda stan. LOL

Or he could have no memories and just fall in love with her all over again.  But it just doesn't seem very Brenda to totally keep him from his family so I am hit or miss on that. 

I do think there is a story to tell there and not with Nina.   I am a Sonny/Brenda stan so I would like a story that has the least collateral damage for them.  I think I would rather him get his memories back and realize Brenda is his true love and just break it off with Carly.

Y&R did that storyline already (and Josh Morrow was at this scruffy and hot fine-ness).

But serious...while I'm like the Sonny storyline...having no Brenda (or Sarah Brown) will always feel like a missing link to that storyline.

I think the best time for Brenda to rock up would be just before Sonny makes it back to Port Charles, perhaps something Deception related as a favour to Brook Lynn and Lucy. We also get the obligatory visit from Brenda to Sonny's grave. Then Sonny returns and it plays out from there. I'm happy for it to go either way, either Sonny remembers Brenda and not Carly or Sonny remembers neither and falls in love with Brenda all over again.

I think Brenda coming to town for something completely unrelated to Sonny would be the best.   I do like the idea of Sonny and Brenda falling in love all over again.  I don't even hate the Carson pairing, I just don't think it does either character justice.  They lack any sort of romantic chemistry and are just boring.

    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
    • Do we believe that Jabot is at the level of Estee Lauder?? I am on board with Jabot deciding to expand but the way it was handled was ridiculous. Jabot just decided and bingo, that was that. Not months of negotiations and decisions about how it would fit into the Jabot portfolio. And then no follow through. Josh thinks he's serving business stories by characters sitting around and discussing mergers, takeovers and job switching. Now we have Audra setting up her own company -Vibrator or something. Well, why not? You don't need staff, office space or even products.
