The behind the scenes GH drama is actually pretty juicy! Unlike the show itself. 

I don’t know why Trina wants to go on this trip where she’ll be a fifth wheel with a guy she likes and his girlfriend who is not to subtly bitchy to her, but it better happen soon. We have been hearing it about forever. 

GH is really cruel to make a new mother play Sasha’s storyline.

If he does recast, might I suggest Daniel Lissing ("When Calls the Heart")?  Sure, Lissing is younger than Ingo, but in this case, I truly would not mind.  Jax is that superfluous to me.

Carly and Sonny are on every day. I'm tired of them. Especially Carly. She's involved in everythinggggg. Can we just go one day without them? I don't need Carly's point of view on everything.

They finally trot Liz out so she can talk to Finn about Jason.

Wouldn't it be something if we actually got to see all this grieving Jason's kids are supposedly doing? Instead we get 39753783 scenes of Carly mourning.

They should have Liz kill Peter. It would be awesome but it would also mean Liz has a story, so it won't happen. Notice how the Jeff Webber stuff seems to have been dropped (they even cut Liz/Terry scenes a couple weeks ago). And they need to stop with these Peter death teases.

Trina looks pretty in pink. Poor girl, Esme is really getting to her. I love her relationship with Portia. LOL, Trina had no time for Marshall.

The Brando/Sasha stuff is sad even though I'm not invested in them. The actors are doing good work. It's weird that they obviously wrote in this pregnancy because the actress was pregnant, only to make the new mom play a dead baby storyline. Why even write it in then?

The scenes with Epiphany and Britt were nice.

Hallmark Drew asks Curtis when he can take him and Jordan out to dinner. OOPS lol. Aunt Stella is back and nosy as ever. Did the writers forget about Stella not mailing out the divorce papers? Yes, yes they did.

Agree.  It's cruel to ask her to play this storyline given her RL circumstances.  But, on the other hand, tactfulness was never one of Frank Valentini's strong points.

GH made Lynn Herring do this. She was pregnant in real life but they had Lucy miscarry. Lynn said she was really concerned about it though because she was playing this scenes mourning a baby and still pregnant and the doctors were telling her to play songs and talk to the baby because they can hear so she was afraid her unborn child would hear her mourning or something. She talked about it quite a bit in a few interviews back then.

I just think it's a weird choice for a pregnancy that was clearly written in to accommodate the actress being pregnant in real life. We barely even saw Sasha and Brando during the pregnancy. So it's just kind of like, why even make her pregnant? Unless the baby's death is going to turn Brando to the dark side and he ends up as Sonny's new enforcer, I don't know what the point of any of this is.

    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • 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.
