I understand that. However, some can Develop DID after experiencing Traumas as adults but it usually childhood

Totally Understandable and to recast would be all wrong. Even if say Heather #2, Mary O'Brien was willing, too much time has past and Robin owns the role now.

@Vee I forgot about Higley (I try to forget her everywhere she wrote).

   I wasn't aware Robin Mattson was not well. Sorry to hear that.

It's not like FV wouldn't recast Heather, though. Where is Barbara Rhoades these days?

I think RM is too iconic in the role now. (I also want to stress I'm not 100% sure it's true she's ill.) If it came to that there's definitely people you can recast with. But right now it just feels like it would be tacky. Reminds me of how (allegedly, but less so) Frons vetoed bringing Mattson back to AMC as Janet in the 2000s and made them opt for Kate Collins bc he blamed RM for her return stint on GH in 2004 being lacking. I thought Kate did a great job with often bad material, but it was a shift.

Hate to hear Robin Mattson may be ill. Hope she isn't, she was one of my faves from the 80s.  Heather is my guess as to who's doing the weird things to Elizabeth.   But I can see either Jake or Betsy being the culprit. It's probably Betsy, if it's true Mattson is ill.

Why are we thinking Jake? Not that I'd be against it, as I think Hudson West is one of the best young actors on the show and they never delved deeply enough into the kid's time on Cassadine Island or what might have been done to his head besides that Chimera thing. I just was under the impression he only appeared once in a full moon, presumably bc HW has outside work and they won't lock him in.

(They really should have done a Theresa Carter/David Hamilton suburban crime/coverup mystery to kill Franco at the hands of Liz's boys, but that's another story.)

I like the Liz story because I genuinely have no idea where it's going. It's Becky's 25th anniversary this year so I could see them possibly doing something big like DID. I do think Betsy and the kids are just red herrings. 

I do laugh that nobody suggests that Liz gets some security cameras.

Doing DID with Liz would be so tired and crass at this point, especially with Jeff or whoever. She's been demeaned in so many ways already. I am glad she has a mystery and a bit of story, but I just can't deal with the venerated memory of Franco. And Finn is a nice enough man for her as a placeholder for something more serious like Lucky, but not much else.

Well I called dibs on Liz's kids.

But seriously to the why the kids...I was thinking the kids after the shredded dress...which is something a kid or a jealous ex would do. Also it would be the most dramatic route to go for Liz and still be relateable since the writers have been making a point to have Liz be hot and cold about getting into a relationship with Finn since Peter fell down the stairs. Which btw good to see that coda to Finn and Anna's relationship. But why now? Things to make you go hmmm....

 

ETA: I agree with @AlexElizabeth. I like this story because (so far) it is mostly centered on Liz and I really don't even know where the story is going either. Positively intrigued.

I, for one, don't want Heather back, under any circumstances, regardless of who's playing her.  One, they've never adequately explained why Heather is so crazy; and two, she's gone so off-the-rails that she's now a cartoon.

I mean, she's been kind of nuts since the '70s IMO. Even Mary O'Brien's Heather had wheels within wheels, all but stalking Diana. But I do agree RC made Heather into a total cartoon and less is more at best at this point.

      I find it pretty fascinating how polarizing the Reva character is. It seems like most folks on here aren't her biggest fan, but then on YouTube where I watch some of these episodes, the majority of comments/commentary made are on Reva episodes, promoting how wonderful she is and how much Annie sucks. I guess that's a good thing, gets people talking/debating the show.

        I agree with both of these takes.  I have no problem with a person being horny and trying to justify it to themself with whatever rationale. I just can't believe there's any deep emotional love to what Belle is feeling about EJ I had no problem with Abigail lusting after EJ -- at first. The horniness was fun in the first encounter.  But I disliked how the show wrote later on ... as if Abigail was catching feelings.

      Is that recent? She looks good. I like her social media posts about her animals and things. Someone was trying to give her crap about her relationship with Andy Gibb and the drug issues. And she replied, “You didn’t know us. You didn’t know what was in our hearts. Tread lightly on broken dreams.” Classy way to shut someone down.

      Welcome back, Will and Eric!  They were both used so well today. I’m so glad that they’re going to be here for Marlena and everybody. She definitely needs them. And I love that we got a flashback of Will and John, and that Will credits him as the reason that he’s so courageous. Hopefully, he has scenes with Arianna coming up, and possibly Doug III. I think there’s a storyline there, especially considering what Will said about her being so stubborn and also a little similar to John. Btw, even though Chandler Massey is technically old enough to have an 18 year old child, he definitely doesn’t look it lol  And we got a Will and Paul reunion too. It really is too bad that we can’t get them full time. There’s still so much drama that can be mined from the two of them, and their relationships with Sonny and Andrew, especially now. But with Leo still slithering around, I guess it’s for the best that we’re not getting that

        And I love that Will was there for Johnny too. We never really got to see their relationship on screen and I’m glad that we got some of it today. I wish their scenes had been a little longer though. There’s a lot more that they need to discuss about EJ and the rape. But I like that Will comforted him about whether or not he was worthy of having John’s name. And that Marlena was able to shrink him about leaving EJ in the square after he fell.  Eric’s reunion with everybody was really sweet too. I loved the dorky family moment Belle is still being a total douche but I like the drama of her storyline. And I do think that she isn’t being completely stupid, when it comes to EJ. I’m glad that she has Brady though, who was also used very well today. He was breaking my heart in the scene where he was at John’s bedside.  And, congratulations EJ. I think lol  But I have to say, all this talk about John’s miraculous recovery is a little tough to here And, the final scene with John and Marlena

      Reva should have had a stroke...leaving her permanently MUTE.  Not able to utter a single sound, not even the slightest blubber or gurgle.

      I'm still hoping that Leslie turns out to be Sharon's daughter. As I think it could bring another dynamic to the show and the Duprees eventually will need a rival family.

      I said Dorian Harewood on Twitter would be good for Dante Green too.
