Honestly, if I had my way I would make Johnny a (non-devil) villian and keep Tripp the good guy.  I think there is something smarmy about Carson Boatman that works better than Lucas Adams as a villian.  Obviously they both could be villains but they are the only two men in this age range right now so that probably wouldn't work lol

Absolutely. 

Carson's been doing a great job as JoDevil pretending to be Johnny. He plays coldhearted really well. I could see him becoming a real villain when Allie/Chanel sleeping together finally comes out. 

Ehhh... I can't see Tripp as a kept man though

Do you think Sami's head would explode if 3/4ths of her kids were LGBTQ?   For all we know Sydney is too lol

I have known a Tripp in life lol.  It was a white preppy guy.  I think it might be an east coast name?  It's a stupid name, but I have heard it.  But I have never met a Roman or Marlena in real life, so it's not the most out there name I guess.  Tripp Johnson does sound vaguely like a porn name though.

Unfortunately, if you keep Johnny as a villain, even after he has been exorcised, you run the risk of people wondering, "Is the devil still in him?".  I know that SOUNDS good, but trust me: the sooner we get away from that story again, the better.

Yeah that's true and that's disappointing because I like Johnny as a villian.   I said somewhere in this thread that it limits the fun, sexy, scheming stories we could have had with Johnny.  Saddling him with the devil is not like saddling Marlena with the devil.  Johnny's a pretty blank slate.  Marlena was always good.

No.

I'm telling you, Syd is having an inappropriate relationship with the headmaster at her boarding school OR she's involved in a call-girl ring that's being spearheaded by the headmaster and/or the bitchiest girl at school.  (Or even both!)  So, yeah, she could be, too, lol.

But you know it's all anyone can do not to call him "Tripper," or "The Tripster," like the old "Richmeister" character from SNL.

And Tripp is a doctor, right?  So, "Tripper John(son), M.D.," here we come!

My aunt has 4 kids and 3/4ths of them are LGBTQ. Two gay sons and one lesbian daughter. Her oldest son never really came out. He just started dating guys. The second son met a guy in the navy but he wasn't out. His bf threatened to leave him if he didn't come out to his family. So when the daughter came out it was pretty much who the [!@#$%^&*] cares.

    • Also, isn’t there supposed to be a storyline with Mariah and Tessa? Mariah cheating or something (keeping some kind of secret) and they were only on screen 2 and 3 times this month. Like what? How am I supposed to care when I barely see them? 
    • Definitely wouldn't trust Dinah right now haha.  But that's great to know Billy comes back soon!  I'm excited for that. If he's at the boardinghouse, then I guess he does get closer to Nola perhaps, and then he'll be around Peter/Bridget and J, who is currently in his orbit along with Michelle and Dahlia, and Marcus is at the boardinghouse, so maybe they go the teenage story route most of this time until Billy gets back.
    • Sounds like me, but I prefer to be referred to as Contessa. We all know I can go a long time not paying attention to certain things.  And, if I might add, hey there dude, you effed up pretty good this time and I think this was your last chance. So don't let the door hit you in your behind as you go BYE MOMMY!
    • That did cross my mind at first, but I'd be more inclined to believe it if this didn't involve Trump. I'm not at all sure he is capable of being that sneaky. Of course, there's always a possibility I guess that his advisors are doing it without telling him, but that seems awfully risky. Trump is such a loose cannon you can never predict what he's going to do or say.
    • Whoa. She should have fought like hell to get that. Was it the greatest show ever? No, but it had a fantastic cast and was practically guaranteed to last multiple seasons because of its star power. Could have certainly led to bigger and better things. If it had flopped she could have always gone back to soaps. Judith Light broke through on a sitcom where she was basically second banana to Tony Danza. That grew into a very busy and distinguished career. The woman is still regularly booked to this day.
    • I could understand her being frustrated by the fact that she'd been in the business 10+ years at that point, and probably couldn't even get in the door. But then again, she'd already gone out for pilot season once (that we know of) and she and  her agent knew a 35-ish woman had a very difficult time in Hollywood. I know she did a few guest spots, but other than Designing Women, nothing I saw--not even a Murder She Wrote, and that show had tons of ex-soapers on it. I mean, God bless Marilu Henner, but even having been on Taxi, she couldn't get arrested for years either.
    • I didn't rewatch that period, so I'm not really sure how much Bill is on. I recall something about him living at the boardinghouse. I think Van made Matt his guardian, and why she didn't name Josh would be a mystery to me, other than the HW decided they needed to keep Bill in Matt's sphere. Nola is also his aunt, although they don't know each other well, and Van wouldn't have trusted her anyway. There's Dinah---but she's unreliable. Billy gets out of jail around NYE.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
