Wasnt the OG plan for Brenda to return in 2017 with her son & he falls for joss, But Marcil balked so they created Kim as Oscars mom & cast Tamara

 

There was also Talk that GH wanted Tamara for Kate 2.0 in 2011 but hired Kelly Sullivan instead.

For sure about SH-it's wiki so it's probably wrong or a half truth.

Lol!  The mysterious patient Barrett that was just hair and a tattoo.  That with the Cooper Barrett appearance made me think it was going somewhere.  What a fake out and not in a good way.  I am not going to lie, the red herrings did make me tune in. 

Poor Sarah Brown, never had a good soap role past Carly.

I don't think so, no. I think fans made that shít up same as they came up with the absolutely idiotic theory that somehow, Brenda's son was Dev the street kid deep in the Middle East. Frank does not want Brenda back.

I actually loved her on DAYS. I don't think people gave her on that show or that regime enough credit. But I was in the minority. I also thought she did a good job with very ropey material as Claudia.

I believe the Kate story because I heard it a lot at the time and it was very stupid, almost as stupid as Kim Nero. I don't believe the Oscar thing. I don't know what they had in mind but I don't buy that it would ever have involved bringing on Brenda.

Sarah had great chemistry with Eric Martsolf and their storyline, initially at least, was actually an intelligent business story for DAYS. But people turned on that creative regime very fast, and they did make mistakes. Oh well.

Since we're mentioning Oscar I'd like to once again reiterate he was played by the single worst young actor I have ever seen on General Hospital, and possibly the entirety of my experience in daytime short of Charity Rahmer. Rot in your grave, Oscar.

I tend to believe some of the Brenda/Oscar stuff.  I have no idea if it was ever a true thing the show pursued, but I think it was someone's idea at least on the show.

The TB/Kate stuff had a lot of rumor traction.  I tend to believe it because Kate was forgotten and the show was going for something big post-Sonny/Brenda for Sonny

I think fans tend to conjure up theories about characters they truly love at the drop of a hat, get overexcited and just repost shít without fact-checking and the game of telephone is easy to play in the social media age. I just don't think it got very far if it was even real, which I don't fully believe. But who knows.

Sarah did have good chemistry with EM.  It just got so weird when Duke Lavery was her evil ex husband.

GS was bad and (I know he's practically a kid) but not cute either.  I THINK everything would be a lot better if they didn't give him the faux Stone dying story.

Yeah, it could be a fan theory that caught fire.  I remember thinking some things Oscar said made it seem like Brenda could possibly be his mom, but I might have made that up in my head to continue the theory lol.

I mean, I would not want Brenda to be Oscar's mom, but I can see actual usefulness in Joss/Oscar's story with Brenda and Sonny seeing it as a repeat of Stone and bringing all that up again and finding each other again.  And I think I just wrote an outline for Sonny/Brenda fanfiction, so I'll stop.

I think the idea was for poor Ian Buchanan to replace the ailing Joe Mascolo as the new villain and oof, what a debacle.

I did always like that writing team despite their social media wars, so I was pleased to be validated when at least one of them had a solid run at AMC 2.0.

      Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol

      Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab the episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). The full HD version of ep.3170 is on YouTube channel:

      I imagine Brad will blow through all the money in a year and come crawling back, just as Portia warned him not to.

      Well, since I'm still up unexpected past my growing-into-it bedtime. lol.   I finally got to rewatch Monday's. I even rewatched Friday's to take it all in. Now that we got the reveal and hit the climax of the SilkPress Sheila storyline, now we get to watch the aftermath and/or turns that come with its climax. So far, so good. Friday left us with three cliffhangers. And what I found surprising was how I felt about them over a rewatch.    I know some of you all felt a way about the dialogue during Kat vs Eva. I remember liking it more the first time around and it was nice for them to have these scenes to establish more of a frenemy vibe for them going forward. That still held up. But I found myself agreeing with you all about that dialogue. lol. Still, it was nice to have both of their POVs.   Second up was Silk Press Sheila vs the Duprees. And I was happy to get a brief spat with Dani in there. But the rest standouts for me was Anita and Martin. Haters can hate and given the tail end of the episode, I will agree to a fault, but Brandon has impressed and he was on fire on Monday and had great subtle work on Friday. And that subtle work made it all the better. Like I believe I said when I was watching...BC has a much better grip on his character and seems to be realizing what his tics are so has started to be able to know when to turn it up and when to dial it down. And for the most part (emphasis on most), he got that. Meanwhile, TT was giving fierceness, and I was here for every minute of it. Her reading SilkPress. Her being quip about it. Her 'BE STILL.' Ooooo she had a chokehold on me as Anita gave what I was expecting her to SilkPress. WORTH THE WAIT. I also loved Vernon's CHOOSE SILENCE. I wonder though if SilkPress will figure out Martin's condition from her observing Anita and Vernon with him.   And speaking of worth it...Oooo YES Nicole vs Ted was worth totally worth it. Oooooo I knew DD would nail it, and it was all so well done. The fight between the part of Nicole who is a therapist vs Nicole as a woman who wants to express how she feels. And being so angry. And how there would be moments when it would shoot out of her. And how she would restrain herself. But how she felt she should not be restrain. Just the levels of processing and layers. And DD played it all so well. I do wish Maurice gave just a little bit more, but overall, I thought he did a good job even if it was just Ted coming across as a deadbeat and not at all redeemable. And Kat being there for her mother was so beautiful.   Minority, but I love the montage though yes, it did run a little long. Given how the Duprees like to bond (and also as I mentioned from my own very recent family experiences), it did not seem out of place to me.     That said...let's see how the aftermath worked in today's episode. Overall. Cuz RC can be hit or miss.

      I wonder whose brilliant (

      ) idea it was to do an almost complete rip-off of the "who killed Tom King"-storyline. That's some quality style writing right there.....
