 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

    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first into to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes. 
    • The Amanda pregnancy was a blunder. Amanda and Sam were AW's best bet for a starcrossed supercouple. Young love destined to be turn apart by outside forces and misunderstandings . Battling for years to finally get together. Instead AW had them married and pregnant within a year.
