With the way the shows are taped today, I don't know if they could tape scenes ahead having to have particular actors and sets available weeks before.

In theory since it is just Yesterday+ 1 more day they should have been able to. BUT it is an entirely different set which would suggest it might be impossible. Heads? Or Tails? The thing is they would be highly motivated to do so. At some point we have to give them the benefit of the doubt, I mean, don't we?

I understand the reason for the temp. It's just extremely disappointing that it wasn't NLG in the scenes where Alexis finally finds out the truth about Neil, Harmony, etc. 

I'm sorry, but Stephanie Erb was pretty bad yesterday. The delivery that Alexis was supposed to have in her lines, facial expressions, etc. was just not there.

And I don't mean that block of wood they foisted on us whenever he was on last...  Lucas should be Chief of Staff since there aren't any Drs. Hardy in town. 

God, I miss him lol

Oh, I hate to pile on, but to me it was worse than missing what NLG's acting choices would have been, it was getting actively wrong choices, repeatedly. I understand that it couldn't have been helped, ...

Is today the end for Harmony?

Not that i care about Harmony. But she went off the rails rather quickly. The best part was Carly in the trunk.😂

NLG From Insta

NLG had tweeted that her spinal surgery was March 23. She said she's back to work today (April 27).  That's five weeks off.
GH has a tape-to-airdate gap of 3-4 weeks. Yeah they had to get a sub.

In contrast, with DAYS, the tape-to-airdate gap is an *average* of 6 months; so they are able to rearrange taping schedules by availability of cast and crew - and a lot of things are filmed way out of order.

GH throws in temp subs far too often, and this one didn’t work. I won’t even blame NLG’s recast, because the Harmony actress was lousy, too. Those scenes were frantic and poorly directed and choreographed. The whole thing was a mess.

Today was a crazy day. And I think the outdoor scene was way too dark. Isn't the first rule of Lighting that you are able to see what is happening? But, worst of all, I thought at one point that Dante said the other burglar was dead. So just missing was a great relief!

Inga Cadranel has had me hooked the past two days. Sad to see this as an exit storyline when we have seen other characters redeemed for doing much worse than this. And I like Stephanie Erb; I hear Nancy Lee Grahn in how she presents the text. A better temporarily recast than Priscilla Garita.

See I thought Inga (Harmony) was really bad.  Erb as a temp was as expected, tight and full of nerves.  She mellowed at eppy 2.  Inga was just horrible.  Just so bad with the facial expressions and overall delivery.  She hardly made up for what the temp was lacking.  Folks over at Twitter want her to have any Emmy.  Ugh.    

These shows are just not interesting right now. They are really straining for an effect. GH just feels busy, frantic, disjointed, and overstuffed to me, and the stories don’t really come together to create an overall feeling of a community in Port Charles, even though everyone’s lives are interconnected. (I’m watching 1986-87 ATWT, which admittedly ruins these gutted, heartless current shows.)
