I don't even know what purpose Laura's death (or "death") has served thus far.

Exactly.  Ken Corday keeps getting in his own show's way.  He really needed to step away from running the show in any capacity a long time ago.  He could still own it, of course, through Corday Productions, but just let others (who know what the hell they're doing) make the actual decisions.

Alan seems to be confirming that the name has been leaked (but he's still not saying the name).  If he is referring to what was leaked on this thread, then Abigail is the one dying.

Maybe, coincidentally, something also happens to Maxie, but I don't think she's the "heroine" Alan's blind item was about.

Ron sure seems happy to kill off /write off Horton family members.

But not so interested in nurturing that same family.

I might be missing a few, but off the top of my head, offscreen Hortons that could be used in some capacity

Tommy (is he really dead?)

Sandy (and any children she may have had)

Marie

Jessica Blake

Mike

Jeremy

Steve Olsen

Spencer Olsen

Melissa

Scott Banning

Nathan

Hope

And any other children those offscreen characters may have.

Honestly, I don't mind them killing off Abby as such - the issue is still that I think they'll end up backtracking a few years down the line. Because ultimately, if you kill off a legacy character like Abby you can't really just sweep it under the rug - she's not your regular Serena. Her death wouldn't just end with her funeral, but would be something that echoes years and, assuming the show lasts that long, decades down the line. This is why it's so tempting for writers to bring back characters like Abby for the cheap drama during sweeps. It's an easy way to create tears and conflict and why it's hard to keep them dead. If the bozos that run daytime today had been in charge of the shows back in the 70s/80s I'm sure characters like Addie would've miraculously turned up alive at one point.

I'm not as as down on Ron as some people are, but his strength does not lie in writing stories like that.

    • Will Tracy be blamed for drugging drewfus?
    • Yeah his acting was flat today
    • BLQ wanting Maxie to chose who she wants as a friend made BLQ selfish and it was bad timing because I loved her with Tracy Love that Rocco and Danny have more to do Shirtless Gio and Vaughn was fun Tracy and Lois should be excellent on monday
    • Oops, sorry about that. I'm awful with remembering names, LOL. Thanks for sharing the picture!
    • Beginning to end, just a GREAT episode. -- Starting with the shallow but also vital, the GH gods finally answered and gave us a Shirtless Gio. I've made my infatuation with Gio very clear, and the reveal did not disappoint. Boy is beautiful. I love his face, too. -- On any other show Vaughan would be THE snack, but today goes to Gio. -- Nothing in the episode seemed to be filler, and all of it seemed important. Brook Lynn and Tracy...Drew and Willow...Carly and Nina...Rocco and Danny...Dante and Lulu -- especially Dante and Lulu. -- Everything played like an A story at a high point in the plot. Excellent pacing and dialogue.
    • Maurice Johnson wasn't bad, but he lacked the emotional impact acting the story asked for.
    • So, I finally watched and I will have to agree with everyone that TMG and Ambyr are stars.  This episode reminded me why I thought Maurice Johnson was a poor actor in the beginning. He does well with the light, fun and loving dad/husband stuff but today he brought his scene partners down through his failure to tune into the emotion the scenes needed. I also didn't enjoy Claybon's scenes. He's improved for sure, but yikes it's rough having him play these intense scenes like he's narrating a science documentary.  Another thing I will say and I'm not sure whether this is good or bad (yet), is that I didn't know who to emotionally connect with. Many times I didn't feel anything at all or a connection with the character's emotions. I feel like the Duprees are the "good guys" that have villainous ways and the villains actually have a lot of layers to them. I didn't even feel sad for Nicole, but today didn't seem to be about Nicole. I actually didn't know what to feel about anyone. I think the only time I felt strongly was when Ted pretty much dismissed his own daughter (Eva) to go after his wife. Granted he's not completely sure that Eva is his daughter, but the way he pushed her away again in that moment was rough.

    • I have some questions: what happened to Countess Wilhelmina and Mad World? Last I remember they switched owners (CW went to Titan and MW went to DiMera or it was the other way around)
    • Lynn Deerfield with Hulswit as Ed (Don't count off for spelling, please)
