In regards to the age of the actress that's now playing Jordan, I looked her up and several sites have different birth years listed for her. Some say she was born in 1981 and some say 1985. IMDB currently has 1981, but that's user edited. Wikipedia currently has no birth year listed, but that's also user edited and looking at the editing history, the users couldn't agree on her age as there has been editing wars there for years with people switching back and forth between 1981 and 1985. Google has 1985, however that scrapes information from other websites and doesn't do any fact checking.

With all of this conflicting information, it's possible that the actress never actually disclosed her age and has chosen not to go public with it. Some actors and actresses like to keep their personal lives to themselves. Especially models/actresses since ageism still exists in show business. But let's say 1981 is the correct birth year for her, well at least we have an actress that's at least 40 now playing Jordan.

I'd also like to mention that whenever there's an age dispute, the majority of the time the older age ends up being the correct one.

What's with the blocking/editing by GH?  Why is she shown so close to the target?

They should have shown Anna F'ing Devane standing at the far wall of the room and throwing that axe from all the way across the room to get that bullseye.

I can only imagine how it would look if GH and Frank Valentini were to follow GL/Ellen Wheeler's example and tape everything on location in Mendocino.

Frank and his knack for budgeting is definitely the reason. The budget is also pretty good considering the economics of running a soap. Considering the set was used for three purposes, and can be used for future purposes, it's a great idea to have it where characters can socialize with each other. The team at GH is solid despite gripes about the writing and the bloated cast.

I think financially he is the only reason the show is still running. Frank has always been good at that (and the show looks better now, it must be said, than it did for much of the 2010s where everything was steel-gray). That doesn't mean I think creatively it's very good.

Agree.  At the moment, there's nothing wrong with GH's production values.  (The sets could be less generic-looking...but I could say that about most shows on television today).  The pieces are there for a good show.  GH just needs to trim the fat, cast-wise, and bring in a HW who knows how to write more gripping plots.  (It says too much that the denouement to the Peter August saga is the most exciting thing to have happened on that show in years.)

Oh, and Frank needs to stay the hell out of the writers' room, too.

    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
