 For those who say Trina will just be sent to jail for the tape, she didnt leak. There is no way her mom, her Dad who is a cop and Ava will let he just get thrown under the bus. I can also see Spencer playing nice with Esme but Helping Trina.

Thank you.

 

I'm even liking some of the little subplots going on, but I admit perhaps some of them (Esme's connection to Ryan, the divorce letter) have gone on too long. In the case of the letter, I completely forgot about it. So...that means Curtis is still married to Jordan, right? Well...??? Uh oh?

That picture gets me in the feels.

 

Well since you asked.

 

I would say the pictures attached to this post. But I would add the following (not sure of all the soaps you followed)...

 

DAYS: The Last Blast Crew (Shawn, Belle, Phillip, Mimi, Chloe mainly though I felt the other teens brought something)

 

Y&R: The Glow by Jabot kids (Billy, Mac, JT, Raul, Brittany, Rianna)

 

They were usually introduced correctly (introduced slowly and/or by a friend member that audiences cared about) and then spun off into their own stories once the writers felt the audience was used to them. And they usually did KID things. Hey, Billy and Mac was my Sprina back in the day. hehe. Both developed characters separately, but together...mmmmm a supercouple in the making. And then they had their own set of potential drama on top of them being a Romeo/Juliet couple.

As far as teen scenes I prefer when the actors are slightly older.  Sure Brenda and Jagger didn't look like anyone I went to high school with, but it wasn't creepy watching sex scenes or them doing more adult stuff.  They were in their early 20's and it did show, but there was no Andrea Zuckerman in the room.  I think it makes it easier to transition the characters into adult stories as well.  Sure, Brenda was about 22 and had been through 2 major relationships, marriages, and engagements, but they also didn't saddle this set with kids and marriage at 18 like shows tend to do as well.

I would say Emily/Nik/Lucky/Liz/Zander were more wholesome, but just as successful.

I feel like with the Joss set they were super young IRL and we were waiting forever for them to do anything but face tragedy and multiple family problems.  Even young looking KMc was allowed to have sex.  These teens are wholesome without any fun.

Yeah, I must admit...I've been so used to seeing Andrea Zuckermans as teens on shows that I'm just not used to seeing actual teens be teens on shows.

But that's why Brenda's teen set, the 4 Muskeeteers, and the examples I mentioned above on DAYS and Y&R stood out. Sure they had some crazy stuff happen to them, but they STILL behaved like teens. I think my love for Liz speaks for itself. She has always been around for me when I seriously started to watch GH so she has always resonated with me since I was a teen when she was a teen. That inner strength. 

 

IKR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spencer's return rebooted this teen set in sooooo many ways. Good ways that needed to be done and allowed them to get to being and acting like teens. I am at the part of my viewing when Esme dropped the bomb on Joss/Cam and I couldn't help but like that there was so many peers for them now to (hopefully) play off on. It made up for the lack of people (though we know why *glares at CoVid) at Spencer's party that introduced Esme.

Brenda's set and Liz's set still felt like real teens.  Joss's teen set felt like really sanitized teens.  You want Joss to be more than she is as Carly/Jax's daughter.  She should be a spoiled, rebellious brat and she's practically saintly.  It's not like Joss couldn't move out of that later.  Brenda was an awful teen, Liz was bratty-they became heroines.  It's a character evolving.  

I hope Spencer/Esme really do shake this up.  I think GH desperately needs a gay/bi teen (obvi-Brenda's son) to help this along as well.  These teens just seem so lame.  It's 2022.  Brenda/Jagger were having sex in the Nurse's office 30 years ago.  This is the age of streaming.  I am not suggesting Euphoria, but Joss and co aren't any fun at all.

Two that I can think of right off the bat:

1) Greg (Laurence Lau)/Jenny (Kim Delaney)/Jesse (Darnell Williams)/Angie (Debbi Morgan)/Liza (Marcy Walker)/Tad (Michael E. Knight)/Amanda (Amanda Bearse)/Alfred (Bill Timoney) on AMC.

2) Phillip (Grant Aleksander)/Beth (Judi Evans)/Rick (Michael O'Leary)/Mindy (Krista Tesreau) on GL.

Well tbf Joss used to be a Children of the Corn.

I definitely think there is always time to turn Joss into a true Carly daughter. I would not even be surprised they do that with her growing rivalry with Esme if they go there with Esme/Cam.

 

I definitely think Spencer/Esme have done a good job shaking them up. Not so much serious drama...though it's still there. Yeah compared to other shows AND past teen sets, I can see what you are saying. But I like them. Well, I like them now, lol. Perhaps it's the build to getting them to college.

Joss to me is like Belle on Days.  You want them to be so much more than they are, you know?  Belle has always been boring and so has Joss.  They have so much history to build on and act out as teens, but don't. 

I think Eden is a capable actress, but very, very bland.  She looks the part of Carly's daughter but just doesn't bring it for me.  Carly and Jax are such big, iconic* characters it's a shame their daughter is so pedestrian. 

*I consider Jax iconic still despite Ingo

    • What a miracle to have all these 1973 dates for Y&R and the other soaps!! You are truly a godsend my friend and I can never thank you enough!!
    • 5-27   Mixed bag! lol.   In the designer department I can feel JM rolling his eyes at being in anything related to a suit, but she did go for comfort with Nick. And I felt it worked. And I liked what Nikki had on. And what Lily had on was something different for her, but she looked great in purple just as Amanda looked superb in white.   I could care less about the 'drama' between Adam and Chelesa. It's not even Chelesa's first time dealing with Victor's controlling ways. So my finger found the FF buttons quick.   Victor and Michael on the outs. Same ole, same ole. Not bored with it, but same ole. They could use Michael and Lauren for so much more. And Michael must have quit in one of those episodes I missed.   The highlight was easily Lily vs Phyllis. I don't know who wrote that, but THANK YOU. Lily was feeling her mama, and I loved every minute of that moment. I was just sad that the Dumas plot...and Amanda's role in it this episode...was clear C plot.
    • FROM THE VAULT: WEEKLY DAYTIME NIELSEN RATINGS: WEEKS OF 12/10/73-12/14/73 & 12/17/73-12/21/73:  

      Please register in order to view this content

      FAST WEEKLY WEEK OF 12/24/73-12/28/73 NOT AVAILABLE (Note: Per newspaper listings, the only scheduled preemptions were 12/25/73 for Dinah's Place and Baffle (preempted by Christmas Service from Washington National Cathedral). All other daytime shows were scheduled to air every day this week). That's a wrap for 1973!  Coming next are the 1973 specials, the spot checks of the 1973 non-soap daytime shows and a look at the 1973 Saturday & Sunday morning/afternoon series. 
    • KMH was annoying AF as Emily or as I call her "Emiloon" that screech crying yikes, so bad
    • spoiler alert AMC...   Ha..this is one of those storylines, much like the Salem Stalker...and whatever Alex was supposed to be holding over Alan's head that Henry knew about...what was the original intention of the through line..who is Mary Bauer and why does Meta know Zach (I know what Zach is supposed to be but was he human before...is Chele a reincarnation of Mary? )Eventually was he supposed to become human? Why is he so dull if he who is supposed to be...but it does make sense on why he is so sexless.  Of course, what the hell was the burial ground storyline of Qualo..it was like they were trying to reenact the 80s with that  temple storyline Marland gave them...would have been more interesting to have Stacy come back with "return from the dead" Silas Crocker in disguise as an older lover.  McTavish is at loose threads here and you can tell she just does not give a damn anymore.  A great idea is hidden in the whole Roger/Dinah/Hart mess....Roger having a midlife crisis and breakdown would have been good...being confronted with all of his misdeeds, the two rapes, and also his murders (the show always likes to forget that he pushed a woman down the stairs and had to have killed people in the CIA.) Maybe something he does accidentally causes Holly to miscarry, and then he does something again accidnetly to hurt Hart so he thinks he killed him.

    • OMG! Not Lily vs Phyllis with Amanda giving the sip tea look!  The Dru came out in Lily!!! lol.
    • I remember, for their wedding, TPTB pulled out the old Stewart patio which had not been seen for years (and was not seen again). But during the 1960s, Ellen and David's patio was seen somewhat often during the summer months.  
    • OMG! Yes!! Best of the episode and double so after my rewatch. She got Anita ALL...THE...WAY...TOGETHER. I can't wait to get caught up and see Sharon.   Now you.  re: Samantha.   Same. I was so annoyed with Month 2 for stalling on Martin's Secret, but in hindsight...that was perfect because I got used to their characters and their lives so NOW I feel so much more invested when the Secret comes out. And how it's been done as a slow burn during May Sweeps with Bill toying with them keeps Bill in villain mode while giving organic conflict for Martin and Smitty due to what's been written for them building up to this month. Bonus...it's clear the actors are soooo much more comfortable with each other.    The one thing that I looove about Vernon is that while that is very much true what you said...when need be...he shows very brief moments of an edge. CHOOSE SILENCE...like BE STILL...lives rent free in my head. lol. I can't wait to use that on someone.  You wouldn't be alone in that. While not perfect...and haters are going to hate...if you get enjoyment even with flaws, why does anyone have an issue with Pollyanna? I see people are enjoying GH, and I have well documented reasons for liking and disliking it. And I don't at all hate on everyone who have been enjoying it and regularly watch it. It's like seeing a tweet you don't like on the Twitter. You see it, have no need to add to it, and keep scrolling.  Same. But tbf...is ANYONE screaming that now...or just naturally liking the show?  Same. But I am a sucker for bangs.
